Chapter 8: 天
“I thought of the long ages of the past during which the successive generations of these things of beauty had run their course. Year by year being born and living and dying amid these dark gloomy woods with no intelligent eye to gaze upon their loveliness, to all appearances such a wanton waste of beauty. It seems sad that on the one hand such exquisite creatures should live out their lives...

Chapter 7: Choo Choo Train
Both times karaoking in Kyoto, our friends played this over and over.
Now its one of our favorites.
“Choo Choo Train” by Exile. Listen to it. Best song to karaoke to. Si.
Chapter 6: Light Up the Night
Almost every night in Kyoto, my brothers, our new Japanese friends around our age, my Japanese brethren (family friends since birth, same age as well), and our newly adopted Russian sister went out on midnight strolls.

Props to Christina Yu for getting all them tickets. And for her and Sabz and Gonica Mandhi for waiting in line for 5+ hours. Finished my paper for behavioral on kin selection and cooperation in Hymenopterans and…wild turkeys. Different.
3 hours of sleep. Breakfast = 2 green tea pills + Cinnamon Life in a ziploc bag. Last breakfast as a 20...
Chapter 1: Breaking Open the Head
3 hours of sleep. Behavioral ecology as unbearable as an unscheduled hangover, not even counting the unnecessary awkwardness of the “professor”. Photo shoot of some Costaceae. 16’d home, mini grocery shopping. Walked along the tracks home with Empire of the Sun. Pesto + chicken = bombastic. Yu and I taking hostages for more Green Tea pills. Fight Club. Study party to ensue. 21 in...

And so it begins. My welcoming into the next (and another) social black hole that is… Tumblr.
