Just my baby and me...and a pond and some nice old buildings
It really is a lovely area where I live. I just went on a night bike ride from here to Ueno, and sat by the lotus pond. The moon floated gently above me in the clear sky, and the neon reflected in the water. On the way back I went through the old downtown area of Tokyo, going up and down the hills, passing many old houses, temples, big trees, and little bars nestled in quiet residential areas. The air was cool, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves, out late at night. It felt as if we were defying the world : being out when really we should have been inside watching TV!
I had a nice evening tonight. Usually I search in vain most of the night to find something worth watching onTV, or playing on the internet. But today, I cleaned my house a little, watched Nick and Jessica, had a phone call, uploaded some cds to my ipod and then went for a ride. I chose my evening rather than letting it choose me. Ok, the Nick and Jessica bit I did with a mixture of pain and enjoyment, but it was only 30 mins of nonsense...
The Quiet
Even as the train passes,
it's so quiet.
I can't feel the noise.
hmm.Bit ponsy that one.
