It's so beautiful just before sunrise. The sky is deep gradients of metallic blue. It's peaceful and cool. If only I was getting up for a run instead of leaving the office. Tokyo is amazing but this job is nuts.
Bernie took hold of another of my photos and jazzed it up. Her post-production magic is awesome. I told her it is coincidental that she is a wizard at color manipulation because she has very dramatic coloring personally (she has hair like pure obsidian that juxtaposes alabaster skin). She's great and a hottie. Check out her work here. And check out my (newly) cool photo below.
Vegan food always plays better in the mind than on the palate. While typically very beautiful and appetizing in appearance, it mystifies me that the sum of vegan food is always dramatically less than its' individual ingredients.
It is almost as if vegans are afraid of spice? Perhaps they think the grinding process is cruel. I love plain vegetables more than the average person but when you have a dish that is heavy on the rough rice how about a little something-something to make it dance. Those darn vegans are giving healthy food a bad reputation.
And why are all the employees at vegan restaurants smokers? Is smoking vegan? They should crush some of their clove cigarettes into my dinner next time to make it more interesting.
And lastly, one of the women working at this particular vegan restaurant had the smallest feet I have ever seen on an adult. I thought she might just tip over if someone held the door open too long and a breeze blew in. Oddly, I did find those tiny feet somewhat intriguing which makes me think the Chinese were on to something with that whole foot binding process. Maybe I'm just hoping to interbreed to spare my children of the inconvenience of the Fred Flintstone feet I've got.
The skies were clear and bright for most of February. Unfortunately, the lunar eclipse on 21 February (my mother's birthday) was not visible to me. Here is the a picture of the beautiful night sky a few days after from Shibuya.
The following day I was at the new office site in Roppongi Hills looking for a convenient gym and just exploring the nearby area. Here is a photo of the Tokyo Tower from the Roppongi Hills complex.
