Look over there! –>

I’ve had a Flickr account for a while but have never done anything with it. Finally got around to uploading a few pics taken recently with the phone camera and found out how to show them here as well. Click through for a view of the glory of Kichijoji’s parkside Iseya branch and the world-famous “lettuce sand.”

Step 2: Make this blog the front page of the site.

Step 3: Make this blog look like something other than a default MT install.

Step 4: Figure out what to spend Autumn Jumbo lottery winnings on. (This probably necessitates Step 3.5, “buy lottery tickets.”)

Getting famous

So the other day I was riding the subway, and this young woman accosts me. Asks what I have on my iPod. After I tell her, she pulls out a camera and takes a picture of my face from about a foot away, which gives me a huge schnozz in the resulting picture. Read all about it here!

Stuff to look for on iTunes Music Store

What was the number-one song on the day you were born? For me it was “Make It With You” by Bread (US charts) and “The Wonder Of You” by Elvis Presley (UK charts).

According to that page your “life’s theme song” is the number-one tune on the day you turned 18. In my case that’s Steve Winwood’s “Roll With It” (US) and “The Only Way Is Up” by Yazz & Plastic Population (UK). I’ve never heard of that last one, so obviously it provides the theme for my existence on some deep and unknowable level.

Destruction!

After seeing all the hellish scenes of post-hurricane crap in my native land, what can I say but this?
