I feel disconnected today. I am here, but my mind feels like it can not connect the dots, I can not get the things I need to get done done. Maybe today I will just have to do nothing, and be ok with that.

Yes, I have an exciting life today. I just spent the last half hour looking at Mola Molas on youtube. My favorite fish of all time is the Ocean Sunfish, also called Mola Mola. It looks out of this world, both because of the size, and because they look sort of like they have been cut of half way through their bodies. I think this video was filmed in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Which means I visited this very sunfish. He was super-big in real life, and it is such a humbling experience to experience something so beautiful and strange. I was locked to the glass for a good half hour while the people I was with wanted to move on. I can not recall if I have any pictures of him (the light was really low), but I am sure I have a couple of other pictures from the same aquarium which I am sure I will get around to posting some time.

I don’t believe in astrology per se, however, I think it is a fun to read the personality traits of the different star signs. I do think that these descriptions are so general that you can label any person any star sign, but that is a whole other discussion. No matter if you believe in astrology or not, I think that people associate themselves with what star sign they belong to, no matter if they believe in astrology or not. I have not yet found a single person in the western world that did not know their star sign, so even if people do not believe in astrology, they still care enough to at least know what star sign they belong to.

Apperantly a new star-sign has been found, the Ophiuchus. It is affecting those born between November 29 and December 17.

“In January 2011, Robert Roy Britt wrote in a post on Live Science, “Over the past 2,500 years or so since the zodiac was established, your sign has moved about a month relative to the sun and stars” and indicated that many people may not actually be the sign they think they are.”

“The constellation Ophiuchus represents a man wrestling a serpent, dividing the snake’s body in two parts.  It is the only sign of the zodiac linked to real men, sharing traits with Imhotep, a 27th century BCE Egyptian doctor, and biblical Joseph. Like Joseph, he is an interpreter of dreams and vivid premonitions. He is envied by his peers and favored by his father and authority figures.”

So, now I am a slight identity crisis here. All of a sudden I belong to a different star sign than what I thought I did? Oh my.

Polyvore is a site that I sometimes used to play around on, and then I forget all about it, until I suddenly remember it again, and go and play some more. I think most people use it to put together clothes and styles, but I have mostly used it just for fun. If any of you have an account, I would love to see it.

Some more pictures from many moons ago. We were really cold and had to take the pictures quite fast. Last two pictures are just preparation pictures before we went out to shoot.

Someone had put this on their porch today.

Happy Sushibird after a night out last weekend.

I wonder if this is a pumpkin? It was about 3cm wide and was hanging there all alone.

Today I craved quail eggs, so I cracked about 10 of them open, removed the white, and put them on top of tobiko. I think it is my favorite taste in the whole wide word. It did not look that amazing, but the taste was wonderful.

This video has been floating around the internet for the past little while, and it is basically a long commercial or a short film about the fashion-blogger The Sartorialist. I have this love-hate relationship with fashion-bloggers and their blogs, I love some of them, but I think there are too many of them and I can not keep up, so I avoid them for the longest I can so I don’t have to realize how far away and out I am from the magical world of fashion.

I have been thinking about going around Tokyo and take pictures of the amazing people, watching the video above inspired me even more, but I am a bit shy when it comes to going up to strangers and asking them in Japanese if it is ok for me to take their picture and post them on the internet just because they look so amazing. Maybe I will dare to do it one of these days soon.
