Spring?

Spring arrived, cherry blossom, everything wakes up back to life. Only me didn't bud. I'm already grew to chair but didn't sprout flower. This weekend we farewell Greg, he's moving to suburbs of Kyoto, to grow mango. Uka comes to Tokyo again. I'm waiting for my second wii guitar controller, which is cruising between Orlando and Ocala in Florida inside FadEx truck. Beside, I learn how to take pictures, flitting with negatives to develop, made few prints; trying different films like dishes in cafeteria. Not able to overeat so far.



Next month I'm goin' to Poland!

Last snow this year

Gala Yuzawa, a convenient resort on shinkansen line. 1,5h from Tokyo. You leave the gates, enter rental shop, change and in few minutes the gondola lifts you up to the slope. Very reasonable prices for JR packages. What to need more? Weather; today whole day raining. I haven't snowboard in these kind of conditions.


The dude above seen snowy mountains for the first time in his life, not mentioning some strange board we attached to his boots.


Nobody's hurt this time.

Reminiscences from known spots in the city

A walk with analog camera makes possible to feel almost forgotten emotions. Known places get a completely new dimension. Film records a lot of details, like human memory, selectively showing more when you think about something longer. Although I still learn it happens to remember desired things everyday more.

Adatara

3 runs, 3 hours in the hospital and next 3 runs. Adverse balance, one broken hand. But as the doctor said, even monkeys fall down from the trees, he must have pull down better specialists from the slope before.

Romantic

Yokohama is famous of its bay, romantic landscapes, promenade. Last Saturday, we went for a dinner cruise. A two hour entertainment on the waved by the spring wind waters. An 80's mood a bit, worth seeing.
