Miscellanea: Japan

Time for a pre-Tokyo dump of some scattered fragments from Japan! In no particular order, after the jump...

Less 'n' Language

OK, OK, still not wrapping up Japan (soon! I promise! I even have the last video done and everything!) but in this Los Angeles week I've been reading Andrew Sean Greer's novel Less (spoiler: it's good! double spoiler: sometimes Pulitzer winning books are good!) and about halfway through hit a passage that I had to post about, because gosh. After the jump: moooore worrrrrds!

And it's time, time time

Boy has this space gotten dusty! A lonesome wind howls through the empty corridors. A tumbleweed nervously clatters down the stairwell. The sun's punishing rays glare through the windows into a vast chamber that has seen neither blog post nor travel video for weeks. A cowboy skeleton languishes near an oasis. Descriptive words flail emptily! More non-content after the jump!
