Back from a long trip home; sick as a dog but making good headway on some resolutions for the new year. Spending time each day sitting and using Headspace, which has - in fact - done wonders for my brain even though it's only ten minutes each day. Trying to go to the gym more and have already made 2 sessions since coming back in spite of sickness. Verrrrrrrry behind on written Japanese, but I watched an astonishing amount of Kinki Kids variety TV while back home, and was pleased to understand a lot of it - and a lot of Shouten and rakugo on the side.

If I owe people things, forgive - and remind! - me. Especially you people who wanted me to read Watchmaker of Filigree Street, which I now have, and to which I say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha. I wish I hadn't passed my copy of Bedlam Stacks to a friend, because I am a wee bit confused about Keita's timeline and I am wondering if that was either my misreading things or him intentionally obfuscating how he works. More on that later.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
