And then some pictures from Udo and Fumi’s visit in Golden Week. They start at Myoushinji, then Fushimi Inari and finally a balcony on Pontocho in the [...]

Hmmm. I watched the Battlestar Galactica two-hour finale today and hmmm…. Well, that was a great show and it had a good finish but still… After wondering for so long just how they were going to wrap everything up and explain away so much that was seemingly inexplicable, it came as a little bit [...]

For the concerned: my computer is fixed (took it to Sofmap and had the hard-drive replaced) but now I have an enormous backlog of stuff to post both here and on Deep Kyoto, and heaps and heaps of pictures. What have I been doing for the last month? Well, teaching obviously. New classes are going [...]

Tae-san sent me these pictures from our cherry-blossom viewing party a couple of weeks ago. I think she has a good eye for the big picture…
The girl sitting behind me in the picture below is Yoko. For the last two years, I’ve been working every Saturday morning at a mental clinic and she is one [...]

Despite the terrible weather we’ve had of late, the sakura has held out very well…
Sometimes they look so lovely I just want to take a big bite out of them…

Aaaahhhh…

A stroll on Kiyamachi…

… another session of gomoku narabe at Philippe’s place…
