Withdrawal
Posted by bopuc at August 13, 2006 03:53 PM
I've been back from Tokyo for 2 months now. Funny, it feels far far longer than that; more like 6 months.
I've eaten japanese-style food once. (it was my favorite place. I was so disappointed.)
I've not watched a single japanese movie. (if you knew my movie diet of the last few years, you'd know how odd that is)
I've not listened to any japanese music. (at least not consciously)
I've not spent any time with any japanese friends here. (sorry Tigre!)
and I am miserable.
and I didn't realize it until I walked into my neighborhood patisserie where the theme from Lady Snow Blood was playing.
"I know this. I recognize the words. It's that other world... what are you doing here?"
I've set my last.fm player to feed me tracks by artists similar to Towa Tei, Cornelius, DJ Krush, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Yellow Magic Orchestra... Pizzicato Five... ahhhh... a bit of happy. I'm going to go eat some fish tonight, and dream... and scheme. Ceci ne durera pas!

Man, I know the feeling. I found that putting some "tokyo" Flickr streams on my constant rotation helped also...

Boris-San,
No worries! Give me a call if you have a time. :)
