Ah, another week another update, dear readers. I apologize for the longer-than-preferable lapse between posts, but 光陰矢のごとし （kouin ya no gotoshi, literally, “time, like an arrow,” but in this context it means that life is short).

My pictures are slowly uploading now, so I’ll hold off on a full-length post until tomorrow, most likely. I’m rather exhausted now anyway, so it’s best I refrain from writing too much lest I go off on several incoherent tangents about lord knows what.

Please accept this as a token of my appreciation and a reward for actually reading my infrequent musings:

Shugo Tokumaru is a singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist from Japan who is currently blowing up my iPod playlists and blowing my mind. How can I characterize Shugo Tokumaru? He’s a bit like the Japanese Sufjan Stevens minus the pretension. One writer described him as “Sigur Ros meets Hello Kitty.” While I’m not sure how accurate that description is, I am sure that “Parachute” is beyond catchy and will be stuck in my head for several days to come. Please, please, please enjoy this song and stay tuned for a legitimate update post-haste.
