Here’s a nice story I spotted on Japan Probe today: Elementary schoolers watch whalemeat processing.
Clutching a notebook and a pencil, Yuna and her classmates occupied the front row of the crowd Wednesday, bending forward to watch a 10-metre (33-foot) animal — the town’s first catch of the three-month season — be dismembered.
“Look! That’s her [...]

The Sun Always Shines On Your Greens
There’s yet another post up on Deep Kyoto tonight of vegan & organic restaurant Hale ～晴れ～ which means “sunny”. Hmm. I’m sensing a trend for “sunny” organic restaurants here; Sunny Place, Sunshine Cafe…Now here’s a bunch of Japan related links so I can avoid actually writing anything.

I just read this story about the 19th century harpoon fragment found in a recently killed whale and was pretty impressed. I had no idea whales could live that long. Apparently they can live to be up to 200 years old – if we don’t get them first. Here’s the link: Bowhead Whale [...]

Here’s this week’s Whale Love Wagon, this week Yuki and the Spanish guy learn all about the importance of Antartica’s summer ice-melts to the world’s eco-system. Good stuff.

There’s more information about that up at: くじらぶ
I’ve made some changes to the links at the side of the page, mainly to make [...]

Whales. You gotta love ‘em.

Dancing precariously on the sofa to “Johnny Appleseed” last night I tried to show off my strength by picking up something a bit heavy (Hyon Ju) and promptly pulled a calf muscle. What a berk. I’m quite quite hurty now. Anyway here’s a classic from the [...]

Right, short post today. I’ve been searching for a poem by Brecht called “The Song of the Moldau” or “Das Lied Von Der Moldau”, which I had in my wallet for years and years (inspirational you see) but for some reason can no longer locate, despite really really wanting to share it with you all… [...]

SCROTUM
I was reading Neil Gaiman’s journal today. You come across interesting things when you read Neil Gaiman’s journal. For instance, today he talked about how librarians up and down America were refusing to stock an award-winning children’s book that made mention of (HORROR OF HORRORS!) a dog’s scrotum. Quite rightly, Neil Gaiman was dismayed by [...]

Here’s a pic of my Valentine’s present from the lady that knows me best:Now, a few days ago “anonymous” wrote:
The healthy, veg-friendly restaurants are good and all, don’t get me wrong, but aren’t there any Indian restaurants with a nice little 3-curry buffet you could introduce us to?
I’m not sure, but I’m assuming “anonymous” is [...]
