First of all, sorry for not writing for so long, a few people bugged me about this, and I realized that I should have at least posted something short like “today I bought a pet plant” (which I did actually, help me name it).
Anyway. Kawaii seems to be taking over. I’ve been to Israel last month and they have an Anime channel in there, and of course Pokémon (but that’s pretty standard). My idea was to replace different authority figures with nice smiley Kawaii figures. Koizumi is a good start, of course. Taking a look at his website, there’s a link on the right to an “E-mail magazine”. What’s going on here? Is Koizumi trying to make himself something like a pop figure? Hello Kitty style. Hello Koizumi. And there we have it. Kawaii politics.
I would personally feel much more guilty, from a dictator point of view, to bomb something if their leaders are so kawaii.

I had a dream I was back in Tokyo.
I was back there, I remember the dream from a semi-3rd-person point of view. I was sent there, I don’t really know why or something like that, and it was constantly dark.
Tokyo. I hardly have a recollection of Tokyo at all. All I remember is just what I saw later on, but seems like I knew Tokyo very well in the dream, and that I was actually there.
At a certain point I remember sitting in a bus, thinking “hey, I know that person sitting in the seat in front of me.” The bus looked like a Danish bus, probably like line 14, the one that runs through Norreport and one of the Jordan Rundt cafés.
At another specific point I remember sitting outside. It was an open area, there were a few people saying things and running around. I was standing watching them. It was dark, and the walls of the tall buildings around the pretty-much empty lot were white. There was hardly any light. The ground was damp. (continue reading..)

This is a little _Hiroshima_ parody.
The Americans dropped their little bomb, I don’t even think they were aware of the things it may cause later on. For the Americans, it was like dropping a little bomb in a tiny rice bowl. Hence, the rice bowl, and the nice mushroom coming out of it (the explosion).
The rendered picture (which you can set as your nice wallpaper too) is over here. The SVG is here.
I think this is also an attempt in another genre, but with my own touch to it. Making it was pretty simple by the way, I drew everything in Inkscape digitally, no tracing or anything.
I don’t know what else I should write, so I’ll just say a good-bye and publish this post.
Good bye.
