I like poetry, photography, languages (esp Japanese), and religion (esp Japanese). And movies (esp Japanese). And Bob Dylan. Epilepsy parent.
My sister was formerly a Crown prosecutor. Now she’s a provincial court judge and wears this apparel
The kanji for "Vladivostok" (in Tsuruga, from a Japanese perspective the terminus or starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway)
The American president is speaking from the shining city on the hill again.
I live a block from the legislature and pro-Iranian regime change demonstrators have come out every weekend since January, basically. The fellow in the first photo requested I take a photo of his t-shirt. I wonder what they think about these revelations?
The story makes no sense, other than to provide Steve McQueen with cool vibes (and an iconic car chase) but William A. Fraker's cinematography is so visually compelling.
Black River, a thoroughly depressing movie by Kobayashi Masaki and starring Nakadai Tatsuya, explores this.
Can't help but be reminded of Moscow's VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy), which includes a mall and pavillions dedicated to various Russian republics, plus former SSRs. And a ferris wheel.
As a cat guy, I kinda appreciate this ad (although I would never buy or considering eating IAMS products).
Something amusing (?) is Carney is delivering his remarks wearing his customary uniform, a mid-century suit, during a day devoted to picnics and sitting on the grass... and when it's also kinda dangerously hot in Ottawa.
As you probably know, there was a great exhibit at the Kyoto muni art museum a few years ago that explored Warhol's connection to the city, and how he was inspired by Japanese design.
Good time to mention I recently discovered the Mr. Show sketch "Mayostard / Mustardayonnaise / Mustmayostardayonnaise"
