I just returned home after spending the evening at the apartment of two of my students, Isao and Tomoko.
I'm a bit tipsy.
We celebrated Stacy's return to AEON Utsunomiya and Motoki's birthday, and there was a lot of wine and shochu and beer. Mieko and her husband were there and the food was excellent - the company superb. As Michel, Yoshiko and I left, it began to rain (nay, pour) and we got drenched.
I'm at home now and have hung up my wet things and I swear that that ride home made me feel more alive than I've felt in a long time. I biked and biked and the rain hit my glasses and I couldn't see a thing. It felt good to get drenched and not care. It felt good to not be wearing a suit, but to be in my street clothes. Feeling the rain and concentrating on my ride home felt so good in a very basic way, I cannot describe it too specifically except that it felt real and good and necessary.
I dropped my camera tho...

Rain is a powerful force--somehow I know exactly what you're talking about.
There's a bit of a drought here though.
I was in uptown this week and couldn't help but think of you. :) Is the camera okay? Are we no longer camera twins?
we are still camera twins, but the lens (which was open when I dropped it) now wobbles a bit when opened and closed.
The cameras are quite durable. I had mine in my purse a couple of months ago, and then I accidentally spilled an ENTIRE rum and Coke in my purse. It was sticky for awhile, but after enough use it quickly got back to normal!
