really, I can't keep track of what the hell is going on in the USA, and maintaining some awareness causes extensive brain contortions.
still, from afar, since the money goes to the same source, it was good to do this… and explain Kimmel as the reason. not that I care for his show.

this is fascinating to me. 1&2: French Resistance. 3&4 Japanese Isolationism.

great minds at work, which is reassuring that the world's businessmen acumen is solidly entrenched in such layered (reverse?) Ponzi scheme.

I lost Radiohead a while ago... « Amnesiac », i think, which I loved and was a soundtrack to a Tokyo visit when it came out and got it while there.
« Hail to the Thief » had much to like, but...
happy that this new release makes it awesome: really love it, and played it 3 times today already.

finally, it seems safe to say that this (left photo) state-of-things is now on hold for the next 4 weeks. no issues are expected.

idle thoughts during long commutes:
« Unknown Pleasures » vs « Closer ».
for me, it is always « Closer », but I have been coming around (after 40+ years) to see why
« U.P. » is preferred for many, if not the majority.

I never expect to develop any kind of sense of being hungry while visiting museums, but this really makes me think I will never develop such.

I offer my favourite:
(English : " a ripened blackberry murmurs to the wall ")
this one is more about the sounds than becoming redundant. like the classic ' A green worm is going toward a green glass ' → ' Le ver vert va vers la verre verte. '
