White on yellow

a tokyo photolog (my flickr archive, and occasional rant and rave: I have a free flickr acount, and want to keep the pics I have uploaded.)
I was on a train. I had my umbrella with me. I had my camera with me. I had forgot to bring a book to read. I was bored. That's the story of my life.

Blurred because the train was on the move... It's a surface pic of a "priority seat" which used to be called "silver seat" because of the colour.
で、結果これかい。がっくり。 写真上はYahoo Japanのニュース記事、下はNHKの開票速報。
At the moment I don't feel very good because of the election result. By the way they are so efficient to count the votes. It's so quick. I hear they've got a special machine to read the ballot paper. (In Japan we write the candidate's name on with a pencil on the ballot paper, and counting machines with an OCR software does the job. I wish I could show how it is like to you, but they don't allow cameras inside the polling station.)
And the music I am listening to with foobar? It goes "too ****ed up to care anymore".
By the way, one of the candidates, Kisho Kurokawa 黒川紀章, is THAT architect Kurokawa, worldly known for the capsule hotel tower built in the early 1970s.
And if you are as depressed as I am, and need a good laugh - nonsense treat:
