(no subject)
If I talk for more than a few sentences about my time in Japan, the jonesing to see my town again comes flooding in.
Living in Japan is the first thing I loved so much I was heartbroken when it was over. In fact, so far the only thing.
So full of things strange and beautiful--so incandescent with an alien mind.
Today's subject that got me going was looking up a map like this:
The darkened area in the middle is where the castle used to be--note how wonky the roads go before they get there, for the most part. That was on purpose--to prevent invasion. Though heaven knows the mountains circling the area were enough to challenge people needing to get OUT and there wasn't much to invade...
So anyway.
I'd like to go knock back a few sushi to soothe my sorrows, but I live a half-hour from even Reasor's sushi.
I'll just write my novel and hope someday I have an advance good for some sushi as well as taxes...
