Another in a continuing series of CHARACTER ADVENTURES YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH by me.
ooh
i've just remembered a dream i had last night
it was like, some sort of old-timey cartoon
the drawing style, and animation style seemed old-timey
also it was coloured in that all yellow/orange/red/light brown palette that some old-timey cartoons are for some reason
anyway, there was some dodgy little girl walking around, and every once in a while a new path would open, and she'd go through it, and me and my unidentified friend (who weren't old-timey cartoons, but were in the land) would follow
we went over a suspension bridge (the type you'd find in a jungle, you know, over a river or a gorge), and went into a cave (but it was more like a rectilinear, thin-walled building masquerading as a cave)
came out and there was a well-to-do couple in tennis outfits, leaving their expensive white car parked near a sand spit beside a river
they saw my unidentified friend were like
HOW COULD YOU?
HOW COULD YOU GIVE US ALL THAT MONEY
WHY, WE'VE HAD TO HIRE PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE IN OUR NEW GIANT HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE MONEY YOU GAVE US
WE'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT
and then i woke up because it was too stupid
For Golden Week, I'm gonna go to Kyushu. There's a concert in Fukuoka on May 2nd, and after that I want to head south to Miyazaki.
What I really really want is to stay in a seaside cottage or bungalow or cabin in Miyazaki (in either Nichinan or Hyuga) for 4 or 5 days during Golden Week, but the internet is thwarting my efforts to find one.
Normally, when I want to find lodging, I use Rakuten Travel, but they don't really have the sort of seaside cottages I want. I don't want a resort, I just want a small place on the beach, where I can wake up to the sound of the ocean and whatnot. You know what I mean? Also, cheap is good, but it doesn't need to be super cheap necessarily -- I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for this sort of experience.
Can anyone help me out?
Now rock out to this in comemmoration of the end of the awesomest TV series ever.
On this, a day when I keenly feel the impermanence of things, and am just a little down, not particularly looking forward to missing a particular friend I've made at work, I remembered this quote, which made me feel rather better about it all.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
-Lao-tzu
Besides, he'll still be nearby, and we'll still be friends, so it's not a problem at all, in the end.
I went for a drive yesterday, because it was my birthday, and I wanted to do something.
I headed for the uhhhhhhhhhh Sankyoson observation deck at Yume no Taira, but the last bit of road before it was closed, and snow-covered, and I couldn't be bothered to climb through it, so I settled for some pics from not-the-observation-deck. I'll make it to the observation deck some other time I guess.
After that I headed for Toyama for no good reason, and then came back. (shrug).
I took pictures! Let's enjoying them.
I still dunno why I bought the new camera. I'm not using it enough to have justified it. Whatever.
I AM, however, abusing Lightroom like the kinky bitch it is, and you can clearly see that in these shots, I'd imagine. D:
Any suggestions for what to shoot this weekend, what with it being rainy every day?
