still alive

A few interesting pictures.

While looking at my middle school english textbook this week, i realized what a ridiculous depiction of the US/West this is:


Ahh, yes... America: white people, beagles, and yachts. How I miss it.

Also this...


...is, surprisingly, exactly what it looks like.

am staying in Japan this summer vacation to take care of some paperwork (visa, driver's license). Decided to take a few days to go exploring record shops in tokyo as well. have yet to see a Japanese recrd shop, and gosh-darn-it I need that new-album fix soon or I might just lose it.

hope all's well with you, Outside World.
