wasabi and pokemon

 
So I'm completely fascinated by these fashion photos with Pokemon characters photoshopped in.
This is the blog I found the photos on, although I have no idea who to credit the photos to as my German thoroughly sucks, and thus am not posting them all. But you should check them out, and if you can read German, tell me what the blog says.
Or perhaps this is the site they originated from.

However, I just realized photoshopped pictures on the internet is not "real life," they are just part of the virtual reality we all live in. Made me ask myself, "what art did I observe in my actual interactions with the real world today?" The answer is wasabi.

An older Indian gentleman kept asking for sides of wasabi and ginger to go with his appetizers and dinner tonight. Be aware he did not actually order any sushi. When it came time to leave and he asked for his leftovers boxed up, he also wanted his wasabi boxed up. But then mid-boxing, he asked for more wasabi to be added to the leftover wasabi. Now that is a living piece of art. Imagine a man sitting in a small dimly lit chic restaurant, at dinner with family and friends, drinking beer and eating wasabi like candy. 

Now imagine the same man at home, sitting down in front of the TV with his take-home box of wasabi and spooning away at the luscious green pile. Or imagine the man waking up in the morning, coming downstairs in his pajamas, opening the refrigerator and pulling out a small take-home box, pulling a spoon out of the drawer, taking a seat at the kitchen island and diving right into that wasabi; he then washes it down with a swig of coffee.
