Interlude: Happiness in Business
by otaking on Dec.22, 2009, under Interlude
Here is my current dilemma, encapsulated in three overlapping circles. I’m pretty good at the law thing and I get paid well for it, but I don’t love it. I like writing, and I do it well, but I don’t get paid a lot for it yet. I want to speak Japanese fluently and it would open a lot of business opportunities, but I don’t do it very well.

Dramatic Reenactment.
I had assembled an odd assortment of goods, some purchased from Saizen: ping-pong balls, a hobby knife, some adhesive tape, headphones, and my Firefox set to Simply Noise.
I was going to attempt a Ganzfeld experiment, a form of sensory deprivation that was supposed to induce vivid hallucinations.

Path to Hachimangu Shrine, originally uploaded by demosthenesofathens.
At the very end of the Wakamiya Oji, past the huge red torii, the wide path to the Hachimangu Shrine was flanked by stalls selling different foodstuffs, some recognizable (like beautiful candy apples) and some not so much.
Interlude: Oshino Village Street Vendor
by otaking on Oct.05, 2009, under Interlude
The smell of food cooking filled the street as we made our way from the village parking lot to the center of Oshino village. I couldn’t understand any of the signs, and everything that was being sold seemed new and strange.
