Shibari in Tokyo
Who needs a red room of pain anyway?
This week it's Amsterdam Dance Event. No matter how much I love music, I'd rather be in Japan. That says something. Even if I were to hop on a plane tonight, I'd be too late to see this wonderful exhibition.
By chance I stumbled upon an article from Tokyo Kinky. Hajime Kinoko is a famous Japanese shibari artist. This May he tied models to the outside of a building for a shibari rope bondage installation and I just love it.
Not everybody was happy though. The installation took place during early evening with a number of families with young children in the area. Then again how hard can it be? Ever noticed the universal appeal Spider-Man has to the little ones? Just tell your children those are Spider-Woman's kids, practicing. Anyway it's a wonderful exhibition.
Face the music
Wonderwall is about an imaginary friend who's gonna save you from yourself. Don't believe that. Neill Gallagher wrote it for his girlfriend and future wife. Only when they divorced, he said it was not about her. He clearly was right when he wrote it. Only question that remains is who's gonna save him from his own silliness now.

Somewhere in April Ukrainian forces switched to NATO caliber ammunition. Big surprise. Talk about crossing the Rubicon. An excellent article in the New Yorker explains how underdog Ukraine managed to turn the tide because of their planning. From what I read, their decision that Kyiv should not fall, no matter what was key. The other one was trust no-one, including the United States until they've proved their loyalty, which took some time. The article gave me a whole new appreciation of Ukraine.
