All summer the drill has pretty much been the same..

Wake up and do some morning exercises and turn on CNN.. Then eat.. wash.. Go to work.. work.. come home.. and eat/crash. It’s been like that with little moments here and there.

This leaves some downtime or rest time periodically through out the day, but it’s nothing like when I was going to school in Sapporo. It’s really that 10-15 minute ‘breaks’ downtime stuff that affords little time to start something comprehensive…

Typically I’ve filled this void with video games, but many of the quote “Good Games” are really indepth long games… Organizing or finding music would probably be #2, but since I haven’t turned on radio that often.. I don’t know what all to listen too. I thought there wasn’t anything entertaining anymore until I found this feature on Google Maps.. It’s called “Street View.”

Without going into it deeply, it’s a 360 picture of what’s happen’n on the streets of cities all around. I’ve toyed with it off and on looking through LA and other places, but recently they’ve added spots in Japan and so with my 10-15 breaks I’ve been on a quest to spot every hangout spot, temple, and Shrine (or bar) I visited while I was touring/living in old Nippon.

Lately I’ve been sniffing ’round my old parade grounds and found this:

If you’re wondering what it is… It’s a spot I used to hang near by Hokusei University. It’s a neat bridge on a walking path that I’d take to chill with friends in an old Coffee shop.

This bridge oddly brings back many memories… So thumbs up to Google for keeping the old embers burning in my heart. ;P

Let’s hope this all goes virtual and I can surf with my 3d glasses!
