David's Log

Mr. Karp is tall and skinny, with unflinching blue eyes and a mop of brown hair. He speaks incredibly fast and in complete paragraphs.”

  2. My mom:

Two weeks ago this sweet Mourning Dove fell from its nest and was badly injured.  Almost fully fledged, it just needed a quiet spot with plenty of seeds and water to recover.  The sidewalks of Manhattan would not do, so I brought it into my apartment.  Today — strong and fledged — I released the bird on the upper terrace of the school where I teach.  Off it flew to a nearby tree!

  3. Just had an absolutely surreal dinner. It’s so fun running in to Tumblr users in other countries. :)
If anyone can hang out in Tokyo or Kyoto this week (particularly if you know where the good food is) please email me!

  4. David: I'm not cool enough for any of this stuff.
    Rachel: I am. So it works out.

    Rachel: Your ball is hanging out of your robe.
  5. After staying at a greasy Dogenzaka love hotel last night, we’re doing it up at the Park Hyatt. Apparently the inn from spirited away isn’t a real place.

    We still don’t have anything booked this week, so any neat hotel (especially ryokan) recommendations would be appreciated!
