yay!

I just spent two straight days in Japantown - lunch special at Benihana (okay, not all that cultural really, but we were almost the only non-Asians present), wandering around the mall and streets and stuff, spent the night in the semi-Japanese-style hotel (oooooh Japanese soaking bath! That right there was worth the price of the room to me), Japanese dinner, breakfast at the weirdly Hawaiian Denny's in Japantown, wandering around past the Buddhist temple and historical society exhibit - mmmm.

This after my project last week was planning a trip to Japan, or at least the bare bones of a projected route, and doing the research on wheelchair accessibility and the like, and trying to figure out how many of my favorite shrines and gardens I can get to to by rail, and so on. (This trip is scheduled for late September or early October of When We Can Afford It, natch.) And before that, it was trying to design my very own small cheap dry Zen garden for the garden spae I don't get to use now. And some Shinto reading.

I can't say I'm Japanned out - I didn't get any udon, or groceries, nor did I blow two hundred bucks at Kinokinuya - but boy, is my head full of Japan stuff right now!

Sadly, if I get to go to LA any time soon, it's gotta be for King Tut. But someday, darnit.
