Rituals
On one's last night in Japan, there must be karaoke, and sake, and cobra-saki, and drinks which I cannot pronouce, but are blue in colour and pack a kick.
(I could have done without the smoky bar.)
I duo'd Like a Virgin with -e, then solo'd The World is Not Enough. -
Yin for My Yang
Silly meme-ish time! Found by rambling...
Pangu
You scored 26 Blue Dragon, 33 Red Phoenix, 13 White Tiger, and 26 Black Tortoise!
You are the center, not only are you the center you created the world.You have perfect balance, you are yin and yang.

Don't Just Stand There
I'm sitting across the bar from Hill, who was the so-called planner of the Fuji expedition. (He really didn't plan, at least not how I think of Planning, which is to consider all probable variables and make certain I investigate the transportation schedule.)
He is telling -e about the trip. I'm still walking around smiling, he says. I can't ( Read more... ) -
Five Things
Ganked from orpheusinhades:
List five personal idiosyncrasies. Then, if you wish, tag five people from your friends list to do the same in their journal.
1. I avoid vaccuuming like the plague. I can sweep until the cows come home (and I bustle a mean broom), but I literally avoid the vaccum. When we renovated the house, I insisted upon a tile and Pergo floor ( Read more... ) -
There Will Be Words (Adult Words)
I rarely curse. I know I seem like the type to curse, but I rarely do, and when I occasionally let one slip*, those around me raise eyebrows and understand, she means it.
No one fucking told me it was going to be fucking pebbles! Pendejo mas viejo! And so on, a litany of words and languages that blends in my mind, a hum to accompany the shuffle ( Read more... ) -
Now You're Just Playing
Okay, the earthquake? Rather fun. And interesting. Especially when my co-worker belted out You Make the Earth Move Under My Feet.
But a typhoon? Now? I'm going to start developing a complex. -
An End is Just A Beginning
We are moved in, we have modems, we have furniture (some), and we have thresholds. Mostly ( Read more... ) -
Tremors
First day at the house was auspicious -- sitting at my kitchen table, the house dances around me. Earthquake. I grinned at moth_001: You make the earth move for me.We are in, and bouncing to the rental to clean up, move the last-minute things, etc... And thus, between no cable for a week, no phone for over a day, we are between things. Houses, ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes They Speak To Me
[ETA: Dreams, or windows onto other timelines.]
se_parsons is sitting next to me on the kitchen bench. I can see her shoes in my field of vision, and the printed material of the bench upholstery. This is not something I own, but it could be related to the chalet where I spent many a summer, or possibly something in my future. SEP's shoes are black flats ( Read more... )
