No Vowels Necessary http://www.suclla.com Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:21:04 +0000 en hourly 1 The Mythical Koto http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NoVowelsNecessary/~3/Zgxj9KpVnFM/ http://www.suclla.com/2011/11/18/the-mythical-koto/#comments Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:07:32 +0000 Jeff http://www.suclla.com/?p=1892

There is something very spiritual and profound about the process of sword making. Being able to possess anyone of these weapons is an undeniable pleasure and being able to wield them properly is almost a lost art. I have a deep reverence when it comes to the Katana, and even though I love my humble blade, I can only dream of being worthy of becoming one with the types of weapons that Watanabe San creates… Thanks for sharing Etsy.

This year Karen and I took Teagan to Tanaka Farms and The Great Park to take a ride on the pumpkin balloon. We had a wonderful day with our niece and she got to run around like a madwoman trying to get every activity in before her parents came to pick her up.

The Great Pumpkin

Seeing things the way she does always comes as a pleasant surprise and reminds us that remaining young at heart is the key to being happy. Lucky for me, that comes naturally. Lucky for her, we both revel in it. It’s hard to believe that another fall season is in full swing but now it’s time to buckle down and embrace the holidays before the new year begins. Remember people only about a year left if you believe in the galactic alignment… you do, don’t you..?

I will not come back home until I’ve had a meal at Jiro’s sushi bar and trained on the tatami at the Bujinkan Honbu Dojo floor. I eagerly await both…

You can agree to disagree on the amount of said artistry but that is a different argument altogether. When I painted my hands as a child and even when I paint my niece’s face, I never imagined you could take just a bit further… Guido Daniele has all but perfected the painted torso and his hand painting is simply amazing. I am definitely borrowing some inspiration the next time Teagan wants her favorite animal painted on her hand or arm.

Sigh… I knew that having a bunch of concerts all lined up within a 6 week period would have its casualties… Oh well, what can you do? Considering we had already seen the best version of this concert earlier in the year made it a little bit better. I just wish I could have given to tickets to someone who would have been able to enjoy the concert. I’m beginning to think that I have to be more diligent adding things to my Google calendar so my trusty phone can give me more notice. Wisdom is the only upside to getting older, thank the universe for small dispensations.
