rental person who does nothing - s. morimoto (2023)

fascinating and quirky ode to that lifelong dream of mine, to do nothing.

morimoto is unapologetically vegetative in his approach to exertion and involvement. the fascinating bit is how he strikes a chord in so many souls who take pleasure in helping him do nothing. the quirky bit is the unexpected nature of his many endeavors: providing a warm body to file divorce papers with or being the recipient of rambling monologues or simply being a human alarm clock. for someone so against the tide of industry he is insightful and warm in his observations of human nature.

what i don't understand is how he ever exerted himself enough to marry his wife.
