"…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)

The November Man
I did make it out this afternoon to see the new Pierce Brosnan and Olga Kurylenko action film "The November Man". I would recommend it as a pleasant diversion. It is well written and well acted and I enjoyed it overall. It was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. After the movie I grabbed a bite of dinner and then settled in for some incidental cleaning and alternately watching episodes of "Black Jesus", which is pretty entertaining. I am headed to bed in a few minutes with the plan of curling up with a book and reading myself to sleep. All in all it was a nice day.
