Look, a blog.

Today I saw bamboo forest paths in Kyoto. I did not film them because they are not farmers.

Hello there, world. Due to popular demand/nagging I'm creating a blog for my summer adventures in Japan. Did you know I'm making a movie in Japan? That's what this blog is about. Will be about. Once it starts happening.

I also saw the garden at Tenryuji.

Tomorrow is my last day of stalling before I travel to farmland, so it's about time this blog got started. Mostly I've been distracting battling domestic travel woes.

There were a lot of these today. All nicely lined up.

I'm out of things to say right now. I'm also kind of tired and not that into this post...next one will be stellar, no doubt, but this one is just destined for lacklusterness. Lacklusterity. I'll just add some pictures from Nara. I went there earlier.

The deer were as cute as hoped for. And as entertainingly aggressive with Japanese schoolchildren as hoped for.

The remnants of the capital at Nara consist of an empty field. Recently they constructed reproductions of buildings. For the 1300th anniversary, they got all fancy and made it fun with a terrifying deer-baby mascot.

There's Sento-kun in all his glory.

Stay tuned for more substantive and more entertaining blog posts from a more awake and less transportation-frustrated me!
