"…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 Contented Being Tonight
A pair of home made chili dogs for dinner, a spot of reading, a long hot bath and a fresh shave. I feel remarkably human in the aftermath. I've settled in to watch an episode of Ghost Hunters and I think I might do a spot of letter writing while I am sitting here. It was a pretty good day at work and I made headway, which is always an important part of the day. I'm actually looking forward tomorrow, though, granted, that has a lot more to do with it being Friday then work itself. I don't have a lot to say tonight, more or less, I am a contented being tonight.
