Spent the morning at the site of the 1970 Osaka Expo, featuring the Tower of the Sun.
Maybe I just have a big ego (no maybe about it), but when I’m in various writing applications and am inundated with buttons that beg to let some uninvited AI parasite to “Write” “Revise” “Polish,” my only thought is: You wish you could do this as well as I do.
I want to see the charcuterie board before I get into the van.
BTW, thank you SO MUCH for the advice about getting my Shinkansen tickets ahead of time. It was painless and I’m on the Nozomi to Osaka right now!
That iconic photograph on the cover of London Calling, only it’s me trying to smash open a box of Wheat Thins

Underrated skeet.
Fowler: we believe this was a solid brief with solid arguments made

On 2:46 PM, March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami occurred. Over 20 thousand people lost their lives. Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant displaced hundreds of thousand people from their homes. This happened in Japan, my home country. I shall never forget.
K. just finished reading a new bio, I can loan it to you when I’m done with it!

Heading out (in the rain) to Lafcadio Hearn’s grave today…
Sitting in a cafe in an office-y part of Shibuya after visiting a little shrine. It’s amazing how quiet and peaceful spots are just hidden all over this sensory-overload of a city.
First full day in Tokyo. Did some wandering and some shopping. I wish I had the money to travel back before my body got so creaky.
OMG, I love that stupid, stupid film. (complimentary)
Black and white photograph of woodland. Branches have been stacked up around the base of a tree to form a kind of teepee.

14 hour flight and jet lagged as hell. I know I should try to stay up until at least 9 local time, but….
JFC. They gutted State with no understanding of what they actually did.
Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.
Men: What a scary time for men this is.
Thank you!!!
Two small birbs in gate seats, patiently waiting for their flight.
Just a couple little guys we met at the airport.
And yet the only thing in the news is the guy who cheated on his wife…
There’s a place in DC that has salty oat cookies with raisins and they are heavenly.

Both WW2 combat veterans. Later, one was a union boilermaker; the other worked for the CCC and then a union job in a pharmaceutical factory. Somehow they both loved Reagan…
Eh - the right wing is the loudest but there are plenty of liberal churches. I used to belong to one.
Oh how the lawyers -howled- when they took their WordPerfect away.
