It’s almost the new year – what better time for a friendly reminder from Ernest Hemingway regarding the creative process:
“I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit,” Hemingway confided to F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1934. “I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.”
Clean up your Lightroom (or whatever you use) library today.
I’ve just completed a visual facelift of the blog for the upcoming new year. I’ve also trimmed down the topics / categories and made those sections look better when you choose a category. Let me know if anything looks screwy. Looking forward to blasting everyone that reads this with more meaningless drivel in 2010.
Now that I’ve finished blogging each day of my trip, I thought it would be helpful to create a table of contents for the posts.
July 17 – Johnnie Hillwalker and Kiyomizu-dera
July 18 – Kinakuji and Ryo-Anji with George
July 19 – Grocery and Rainy Tonkatsu
July 20 – Mountains with Jeffrey Friedl. Shijo and Pontocho
July 22 – Kurama Temple and Kibune
July 24 – Edo-Tokyo Museum and Akihabara

I have also collected my favorite photographs from the trip and present them to you here.
This morning I stopped by the local department store / grocery to pick up some of those sweet tofu rice sushi thingies and orange juice to bring back to the hotel for breakfast. The same woman was there, who had sold them to me earlier in the week, so I asked her what they are called in Japanese. Apparently they are called inari-zushi. Good to know. I snapped some photos along the way.
