I promise I will stop using old paintings as analogies eventually

Bought new Depeche Mode album (I think this may actually be the first time I deliberately went out and bought something on release day). Leaked mp3s through crappy default earbuds : Fra Angelico's Annunciation in reproduction :: actual CD at shocking volumes on proper sound system : Fra Angelico's Annunciation in the museum, i.e. I loved it before but I'd never have known you could see the Baby Jesus in it otherwise.

(You can. There's a tiny hole in Mary's dress at navel level with golden light filtering through it.)

Now I will read two chapters of Bleach and hie to my bed.

EDIT (so I won't forget) -- does two parts ginger ale to one part calpis soda really taste like a hair product? This must be investigated.

My friend Uri in Japan says Calpis == Cow Piss (and there goes the easiest Gaijin joke evar >_>).
