The Magical Realism of Japan
|
|
|
Dwight’s in Fargo visiting his mom, so I decided to watch some anime. Chose "Paprika" where dreams and reality lose boundaries. Magical realism pervades anime, as well as much of the Japanese literature I've read in translation, and (for me) Japan itself. I keep going back for more.

As I ate my lunch at the worker-owned Hard Times Cafe, I overheard nearby diners discussing labor history and class struggle. Later, I walked past double barriers outside Northrop Auditorium that symbolized the gulf between protesters and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

At the end of our Sunday morning walk, stopped by Open Book for expertly prepared coffees. The space houses various book-related nonprofits, as evidenced by this gumball machine selling poetry at 50 cents a pop.

Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, Calorie-Dense

Made cookies and cream froyo with lactose-free yogurt and gluten-free Oreos. It came out creamy, thanks to the yogurt, which I had strained through cheesecloth for a couple of hours. Sugar, salt (a pinch), vanilla essence, and a tablespoon of rum all lowered the freezing point.

Helped Dwight set up his gardening notes in a blog format. He volunteers at a university greenhouse and has been documenting his experiences in a long word processing document. A blog format opens up possibilities.

I'm temporarily on a restricted diet, but thankfully most fermented foods are allowed.

Rebooked a Delta itinerary online because the fare had dropped by about 25%. Received a full refund of the fare difference, almost 29K Delta SkyMiles (about $400) and there was no service fee. It costs nothing to check if fares have gone down, so you can claw back some or all of the fare difference.
