Cheryl suggested I post this photo somewhere after seeing it, so this is a quick blog entry. I took it last year at Yanaka cemetery, the largest cemetery in Tokyo. It was cherry blossom time, and the strong warm wind turned all the petals into a light cherry blossom storm. Real magic. I forgot to mention, but people are having picnics (alcohol included) under the trees, even in cemeteries. This might sound weird and inappropriate at first, but once you see it it all feels very natural and comfortable, there is no sign of disrespect whatsoever, only a sense of peace. Can't wait till next year!

My, my, my, now the fur is flying. I must be the voice of reason and make a fur-tive attempt to defend the CLP? He surely thought this was part of the new trend - mailing animal carcasses to your friends. In truth, Marie created a very historic piece of sandpo. I'm thrilled because she was named in the manifesto by popular demand. As I'm sure the CLP would say: "cp-sa - shall we step outside and settle this?" I do take the prize for messing up; that's a given.

Dear Dark Wall. For your information, this is not trash. This is an artwork from Marie - it is toxic nuclear sand preserved in sealing tape on handmade paper commenting on how the world WONT get away with anything in the end, and how we're all messed up and messing up.

Looks like tanuki fur to me.

Pourquoi la grande soeur mis poubelle parmi les cerisiers en fleurs? La guerre de Trashpo terminé. Nous ne regardons pasen arrière. De la fourrure du chat? De la fourrure du chien? De la fourrure du singe?

Hey you :-) Learning was not very difficult - doing it again - that may be another issue - blogging again - for sure - off to be D.L. :-)))

Self-deleting is a trend, had to try it to see what it is all about. 

Anyway...

Glad you got a positive experiment there. Does that mean you will be back to blogging soon? yey...
