Micky-ficky Alt-hell, my g.d. cell phone dealers, have decreed that, until further notice, my new, expensive, cell phone will not be emailing any pictures. I'm not happy about this, as today I actually remembered to take a picture to post.

Instead, here is a photo of a tiny shrine that I used to pass on my way to the gym--Konami Sports Club--when I lived in Tokyo.

I miss Japan this week.

The big news is that my friend Rinako is getting married this month. I wish I could travel to Tokyo for the wedding, but I don't think it's going to happen.
