Link of the Day [9.02.21]
I have no idea what this is, but since it is Nogizaka46. I’m there.
Of course, I’m not really there, since it is in Japan. I am really there in spirit.
I wonder why we aren’t all off today. I’m not, but I am acting like it.
Vote (if you are voting Blue, don’t if Red).
Whoa. Legendary punk record label, Dischord, has placed all their material out for free on bandcamp. That’s the label founded by Minor Threat and Fugazi lead, Ian MacKaye. I only know of those two bands, but the label is an important one for the punk scene as well as the independent music scene. Go listen. You may find something you like.
They’ve shut down Disneyland’s all around the world! It will be a while before you have people enjoying this fantasy land. It will be a while before I can go visit my favorite ride in Disneyland, the Haunted Mansion. Of course, a YouTube video is no substitution, but this is where we are at now.
I’ve featured a Kraig Adams hiking video before. While not like the previous one, Shibuya Tokyo, Japan, This is some quiet calmness. It may be too relaxing as the emptiness is like the emptiness at your house. No people. But still the world is a beautiful place and there’s lots of it. We’ve only been to a small fraction of it. I wish for the day to go out and explore some more.
Since we’re all stuck inside, perhaps POV videos can alleviate the cabin fever. I’ve always liked this genre of video.
I wanted to go to Japan this year. It was one of my resolutions. I didn’t get to it. There’s still a month left but I doubt I will go on the spur of the moment.
When I heard Nogizaka46 was going to be in Singapore this Friday for an anime festival, I had looked at tickets. I didn’t get them, and now I completely regret it.
I would like to travel more. Having tons of vacation time, I should. But alone and by myself, it ain’t happening. I wish.

I’m really going to have to go to Japan. These are the next set of travel guides I bought for the trip. It’s ridiculous thinking that I will find Japan and their culture in books. I will find it in their country. I must go…

No idea what this is about, but I hear Kyoto in the fall is beautiful.
