"…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)

A Simple Night "In America"
I've been on a movie kick lately. Tonight I watched "In America" with Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton. I recall the film as it made it's way through the theaters, but for reasons lost to the mists of history, I have no idea why I didn't see it. Well, it certainly is a powerful little movie with a tear-jerking end. I'd recommend it if you are in that type of mood. I am going to call it a night early tonight - I am deeply engaged in "The Hunger Games" and should finish in a two days or so. An excellent story.
