"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Daily Life: Killing Bugs
Overheard today in the office:
"There is a little bug that keeps bothering me. When I try to kill it, it disappears."
Silence.
"Well. If you tried to kill me I'd disappear too." Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
