I would like to be the yelling "bullshit" woman someday. My friend and I agreed one reason we'd never fit in here in Japan is that we would eventually go mad trying to be so quiet all the time. The subway cars are SILENT, which is one thing at 6am but middle of the day??
Today was less successful than yesterday. Today we went to a market but didn't see much in the way of actual goods (they were all in boxes!) though we did see things being auctioned off, we didn't know what they were or who was buying them for how much! And we wandered all over this random neighborhood trying to find this store which wasn't where it said it was, and forgot to go to this other place. And we've been up since 4 or 5am so my friend was super spacey and cranky all day. Which the useless wandering didn't help, and meant she didn't remind me of the store I forgot about, that she wanted to go to, u til we had already left the neighborhood. Oh well. We decided there's no way we'd see anything like all of Tokyo in two days so why bother?
But yesterday I got to PET AN OTTER!! There was a rabbit cafe that ALSO has otters!! Probably awful and I humane. But an otter!!!
The black panther gave me a look that said "you sure about wanting me to be the one on the other side of cage bars from you?"
Heh.
But! Black panther!
Meanwhile, halfway around the world: otter!
Good day for animals.
That makes me think of Archer and Babou which is my favorite relationship on that show.
Our internet went out last night, so it would have been genuinely a little funny if I'd gotten up for the 7AM meeting and then couldn't lead it.
But the internet was back. Meeting was had. Apparently I'm supposed to continue working, rather than going back to sleep.
That continues to be bullshit, Dana.
Left my lunch bag at work yesterday and more less because of that forgot to bring in lunch today. I have a can of soup in my desk drawer and assorted snacks, that'll probably hold me. I think I left my cruise souvenir water bottle on the bus yesterday, though. Woes.
I am kinda obsessed with dome houses. Www.usadomes.com
Look at the floor plans for the connected larger house and the 2BR dome connected to a 1br dome with living and kirchen. I can really see a grouping of these with shared patios, communal laundry dome, storage domes, Each dome is 300 sq ft.
Probably looking at $30k per dome with basic interiors. I wonder what a city would think of putting 3-4 of these on a lot.
Domed house == roof maintenance nightmare.
Really? I have friends in NM who have been in one for over 30 years.
ION, I've found a 6+ acre lot in the edge of the Catskills, 2 hours from NYC, 2.5 via car+train. I might spend the rest of the day plotting out a bungalow courtyard community.
According to Wikepedia: [link]
Probably not a lot of rain, snow, and ice in NM, though.
