the next day

so, that drawing didn't happen, well, it did, but the batteries in my camera are dead, so no pics, but here's something else to look at and consider.
Also, consider this, while you're at it:
I just returned from Japanese class; acquiring this language is difficult but enjoyable, however, more on that later, what is interesting and relevant here is this: the retrieving of language, of anything in ones mind, for that matter, but particularly newly learned and filed words, memorization plainly, is made difficult by excessive thought in the matter--meaning: the words are there, learned, but how do they get out--by remembering them, or by simply allowing speech to flow.

hmmm. maybe that's obvious--I need more practice. Words remembered and words known. I don't want to have to access words, but to have them present themselves when their moment arrives.

Rammstein just came one; German is still in mind; there are certain links there as infallible as my native English which is pleasing. Perhaps someday, listening to Japanese music, I'll notice the same thing.

here's a guy on the train.
