whoo!

Just got an aftershock, baby! I was in Osaka at the time and missed the original, but there ya go!

Actually, it wasn't that cool.

a moment

So, I've been reading jonathancarroll lately, and perhaps that explains this post.

Yesterday I was sitting in Mr. Donuts at Hakata Station. Looking outside at the people passing, I saw a look of shock on a young woman's face as an umbrella someone was carrying caught on her shopping bag for a moment before detaching. Obviously the person carrying the umbrella passed by without realizing what had happened. She looked around for a split second as if trying to find a sympathetic bystander and then looked into the bag to verify that everything was present and intact. And then she continued on her way.

The bulk of my monster amazon.co.jp order arrived while I was away, and I am now basking in the glory. 14 CDs and two books on clarinet playing. (One CD, Franz Ferdinand, came within two days of placing the order, and one CD, Joy Division Unknown Pleasures, is on its way.)

"It's my [un]birthday present to ME! Oh, I'm so happy..."

I'm listening to Yann Tiersen Tout Est Calme right now. Married Monk... I've heard someone raving about them, haven't I?
