1. Filled today with "Tokyo Dreams." A long-ago trip.

The "mundane" Halloween costume party" is such a perfectly Tokyo thing.

And here on 10/16/2020 amidst pandemic and horror, what I most LONG for is mundane. Divine boringness!
2. Another image that haunted me from Tokyo. The Jizo, protecting the water spirits, the souls of the lost, the miscarried, the aborted. A liminal place, and a mindset so unlike that in the U.S.

Spirit Tokyo. This story began with the image of a tiny ghost, flitting and bouncing his way through the pachinko parlors of Tokyo, with their bright lights and constant clinking and plinking!

4. And the perfect musical accompaniment to my "Water Babies" story. "PACHINKO MAMBO"!

Giant bowl of COVID soup settled onto the National Mall on September 26th, followed by 17 days of increasing COVID infection rates in the DC region.
Curious to see results of contact tracing of this whole group of ministers and public figures in this grouping I don't have name at moment, but know at least one of these ministers attended this event AND Rose Garden super spreader and is confirmed POSITIVE

Of DIRECT relevance to me as I work in DC, go in on certain days, and in the 25 days since these events, our infection rates have skyrocketed. Highest since mid-summer after steady decline. Incredibly enraging that White House has more cases than Viet Nam and Laos, COMBINED.

So much sadness and rage now. Turned to wonderful, luxuriously in-depth piece from Rupert Everett on the 10 year process of getting his Oscar Wikde film 🎥 through production. From DC Metroweekly (10/18/2018).

@ArwaM I love your writing style!

NYC is my second home (from DC) and I love its great people, but Trump is indeed buffering it with low blows. : (
Ahhh, I miss those AMTRAK rides north!

Given "Rosenstein" is trending today, time to pull out my Twitter characters, DC Dupont Circle stone lion pundits, Rufus and Jeeves!

Cemented to a brick wall, one block north of The Palm. 🌴 Currently rather lonely. 1.
2. That hairless gopher rat just won't stay gone, will he?

#Rosenstein 2.

Key point here is the architects of this confirmation procedure (McConnell, McGahn, the cooperative FBI Director Wray):

* Were wielding raw power to ram mediocre/compromised candidate, snub tradition of the Senate operating as a deliberative body.
* Lack of transparency including, IMHO a high probability the " list" of candidates was misdirection.

Kavanaugh likely choice from start.

NO transparency. Shadowy investigative process buying time to calm down Q.s about WHO this nab was.
I kept my notes for a REASON. McGahn is out there, and his fingerprints will be ALL over this mad attempt to do an end run around a PROPER decision here (given less than two months before Presidential election).
