"…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)

On The Plus Side - I Am Watching The Thing
Least we think the entire day was frustrating, on the plus side, I did have a good bowl of soup, I followed it with a brownie, and now I am sitting here watching the sunset, feeling a bit of a cool breeze blowing over me and watching a true cult classic - John Carpenter's remake of "The Thing" with Kurt Russell. Probably one of the rare movies where in many ways the remake exceeds the original. If you've never seen it - I definitely recommend it as an excellent John Carpenter/Kurt Russell collaboration and the cult classic it is.
