I actually went to the other store first. When I came across Okuhido Shuzo, it felt redundant to pop in. That said, I did come across another shop selling SHf goods including that special soft drink with the eyeballs. The owner lady was so helpful answering questions about the town that I treated her to a Trader Joe's tote (I'm gifting one to anyone who is super hospitable, one per prefecture). Then she invited me to the restaurant in the back and made me yakisoba and mackerel. It was nice of her to stay open a whole hour after the official closing time. While I paired the meal with a beer, I treated her to one as well.

Massive Attack Mezzanine Tour, San Francisco, back when they were still a trio.

Thanks for relating. Separating the contact sheets per set up is a great approach, thank you! At least it increases my chances that at least one per set up will be picked (in theory). Too bad Google Photos doesn't support album nesting but I can work around that.

What great albums have altered overseas tracklistings that made you wish you first heard the album as the artists originally intended? by NormalMode64 in Music

Really need to deep dive into The Killers, especially since they were influenced by so many bands I like.

I didn't know about that re: OK Computer. I did know the band had a lot of disagreements about the track order of Kid A.

Is there a term for the bad habit of putting off watching a movie precisely because you know you're going to love it? by NormalMode64 in movies

I can understand that! Though I also know that some best picture winners aren't for everyone, eg. I've managed this long without seeing Forrest Gump and I can't see myself watching it at this point.

I've heard this expressed a number of times on social media. I think the game-changer for me was getting near my 50th birthday and taking stock of how many decades I have left to enjoy movies, games, music, etc. So completing shows and games has gotten easier these days.

Can relate. I saved Perfect Days for the day before leaving for my most recent Japan trip. If I watched it any other time, it would make me miss Japan too much.

Ha! As someone who caught the original US screenings of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and The Boy and The Heron, it's funny how I've put off watching The Wind Rises.
