So as you would have noticed, I am still alive.
I once came to tumblr, many years ago because well I liked blogging. But my own blog, of the same name as my url here, was a very solitary affair. No one really read it, or found it. It’s not like a shared it. It was a place for my own thoughts.
And for a while Tumblr was good for that. I didn’t ever make any ‘friends’ here, but I had a few mutual follows, and became a bit of an entity, on here and with the old dragonofcomics blog I did. But I am not a man of passions really. and I could not sustain it. And so I slowly lurked.
And now all the blogs I use to follow have fallen silent,
the realm of tumblr I once roamed is still.
And yet, I remain.
I dare say I should write what it is I have been up too in all these years. But not right now.

TAMPOPO (1985) dir. Juzo ItamiYou haven’t seen Tampopo? It’s like a western, one of those stories in which a stranger rolls into town and helps a family down on their luck. Only it isn’t that at all. Such an inspiring, cheering, sensible film.
Also, directed by Juzo Itami. We would have many more amazing films by him if he hadn’t been murdered by the Yakuza.
From Wikipedia:
Itami died on December 20, 1997 in Tokyo, after falling from the roof of the building where his office was located. On his desk was found a suicide note stating that he had been falsely accused of an affair and was taking his life to clear his name. Two days later, a tabloid magazine published a report of such an affair.
However, no one in Itami’s family believed that he would have taken his life or that he would be mortally embarrassed by a real or alleged affair. In 2008, a former member of the Goto-gumi, a yakuza group, told a reporter, Jake Adelstein: “We set it up to stage his murder as a suicide. We dragged him up to the rooftop and put a gun in his face. We gave him a choice: jump and you might live or stay and we’ll blow your face off. He jumped. He didn’t live.”
