rain, rain come again

Ryuichi Sakamoto - 雨 (Rain)

it is raining again. and that means . . . more rainy day photos to be added later. luckily i got my clothes in from the clothesline just in time. ok, the dryer. time to do something productive. naptime. i had a good workout again this morning and am glad i got home before the rain started as i didn't take an umbrella (pink or black). it is 55f (13c) outside and maybe cooler inside my little apartment. it looks like it is freezing in Osaka at 32f (0c) at 9am tomorrow. brrrr and with that, i think i will turn on my heater for a few minutes. and put the kettle on for some hot chocolate. and a little LoungeFm along with the sound of the pouring rain should make for a nice hour or so nap.

i finished this wonderful drama yesterday. it moved to #1 on my all-time favorite doramas. and i am glad they ended with the possibility of a kiseki (miracle) happening.

merry christmas, mister christ

here but soon to be there

well, not there (KIX). was there an Osakan in Ralph's?

the ike (pond) below my window. the palm trees are actually by the pool

tsutsuji or sazanka? ok, class if you were paying attention this should be an easy one.

speaking of Bara no nai Hanaya, i found these two rose petals on may to the market (Ralph's). i hope to finish watching BNNH tonite.

self-portrait, busy. what am i carrying? not one but two uniform pants from the dry cleaners. somebody's finally going to work soon.

and speaking of self-portraits and one of my all-time favorite pianists/musicians . . .

i have this music on cassette from mukashi mukashi. and a cassette is : )
