pavement
well, j & i seem to be focused on the ground: her in london and me here in toronto. so this is another one for you -- from the alley behind your old grocery store. i've had a great weekend. it included, among other things: a KD-themed dinner party (view the creature we created).

something wonderful from today:
"The main issue is not the map itself," he said at a news conference. "It is the potential of the information in the map to change history."

tree
i have to write a love letter this afternoon ... oh, the interesting jobs that seem to find me ... but instead i'm feeling just a little dreamy, listening to cibo matto:
white pepper ice cream
it's like a line drawing
it stings my lips
i used to take too many pictures of trees, and they never turned out the way i wanted them to, they just seemed diminished. i was at a temple complex in north kyoto, and you had to look through this dark fencing, squinting to make out the dull, gilt buddha in the dark inner room. i tried for a while, forcing my eyes to adjust to the dark. but outside the temple, there was this old, tall tree, splitting in a hundred different directions, but propped up everywhere by wooden bars, shaped like very long capital Ts, carefully tied to the branches. it was pretty amazing, the effort that was taken to keep this tree up, and it was quite beautiful, this old, spidery tree wearing all these crutches. none of my pictures appropriately demonstrate this.which is the first word,
sweet or spicy?
ca m'est egal
ca m'est egal
it's all the same to me

street
last night, on my way to buy a bottle of french wine and look for strawberries. the only berries i found were limp and turning the colour of a bruise i have on my leg. so i left them, winding my way back through side streets, taking pictures of wet pavement and leftover christmas lights, which look a little sad in the rain. inside, there are much more interesting things going on.

two things from the news: giant jellyfish are taking over japanese waters. and an accidentally absurd headline at the BBC: "turkey diagnoses human bird flu"

the plant of good and evil
one of my violets is "sporting" -- a genetic mutant where it is actually two plants, refusing to continue to be cross-bred. it started just before halloween, and in my home-office geekery, it continues to fascinate me. it is divided down the middle, with dark purple stemed-leaves producing rich purple flowers along one side, and bright green stemed ones pouring out a range of blooms from pale white to pinwheel. i'll post more interesting photos soon, as soon as the rain stops.
