autumn tactics

At least I went out to buy a couple cans of Creamy Top.

Today is National Foundation Day, so I have time to get some things done. Weekday holidays are always more productive that weekends, because I’m in a work mood. So today I’m going to focus on finishing scanning Kyoto photographs, get some albums up, and a draft of my site renewal. Huzzah!

地元の渋谷区本町辺り相談があって、帰り道で昔よく通ってた居酒屋とスナック両方に表敬訪問しにいった。スナックのママが80歳になったけど、超喜んでいた。水商売の経済について色々話して、カラオケ歌いました。素直に「歌唱力あまり上がってないね」と言われた。笑って泣きそうだった。あぁ、このほろ苦い人生が好き。

A couple of pictures I took last month in Kyoto with the Mamiya.

Left work today early at 8:30 feeling lousy and sore. Came home thinking I was going to flop but somehow managed to cook dinner, clean the kitchen, make tea and practice guitar. Now I feel much better (aside from my gastritis). If my mind would just spin down a little now I could get to bed before midnight perhaps. Just a little meditation…

Five years go by, some things change. Some don’t.

“I didn’t want to admit that it was over. I always thought that we would get together again. And then she was gone. You think you have all the time in the world, until… Yeah…“

It’s 11/2/1, or 1/2/11. Whatever format you choose, listen to 1-2, it has been and always will be the dirge for the vacuum created by my hubris.
