Symian Days

Nice sunny day here in Osaka. Too much pollen in the air but that's to be expected round this time of year. Saw my first cherry blossoms of the year. Failed to take a picture since I was on my way to the park to go running. Had a nice run, listened to some good breakbeats, cleaned the house, ironed some shirts, listened to a podcast about the physics of light (so awesome!), then went to my Japanese lesson. One of those days off that just feel peaceful and productive. Even had a nice dinner with my lovely wife.

And then, while I'm watching Die Hard to end off my lovely day, this happens:



No biggie. Probably wouldn't have even noticed if they hadn't flashed a bulletin over John McClane shooting the bad guys. =)
But notice the continued activity in the northeast of Japan.



Symian is: going to watch Die Hard all the way through for like the millionth time.
