This one is going to feel a bit out of time, because the blog is happening in a 24 hour window of travel. We are in Tokyo visiting kids and that means a series fo flights and waits between flights–the longest flight being 12 hours. I have been using that time “effectively.” I binged the entire Acolyte run and I have questions. Firs, when does this happen? This is billed as being a hundred years before the rise of the empire but a lot of that does not track. Moreover, they are doing things the way Star Wars always does things which is to tell a different version of the same darn story. I am not pleased by that at all, because I was truly hoping for a new narrative in the world/universe. It is a huge universe and there must be stories that are less connected to the main storyline that are worth telling. I certainly expect there to be. Yet, here we are.
Speaking of being here, the hotel is a very very very small space. We we last stayed here we were in a hotel that was likely three times as large. This is a closet with a bathroom… that still costs a fortune. I have little positive to say about it so far. Little positive to say about the travel or anything in regards to this incredible adventure we are on save for that we are close to the train station–really close. That has to count for something.
Some Thoughts:
- I expect I’ll drop a few hundred bucks to rent a larger space for a day or few. I don’t think this place really is for me in the long run. I value space more than I thought I did.
