"…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)

Cosmos!
I have been eagerly anticipating the new Cosmos and it definitely did not disappoint! I don't think I have been so excited to see a new television show in quite a while, certainly not the type of inner excitement that this show generated for me. I loved the original Cosmos, it holds a near sacred place in the imagination of my youth. So, I just hope that this one lives up to the other - and so far, I am pleased.
I also saw something fairly awesome today, and that was the IMAX 3D version of "300: Rise of an Empire" with the always amazing Eva Green. It was definitely on par with the original 300. The movie was owned by Eva Green, a very good performance. I highly recommend it if you are inclined to see that type of movie.
Outside of that, I had a pretty good day - it is the first day of daylight savings time, so it is nice to be sitting here and watching the slow fall of the sunset. Beautiful.
