Full Disclosure

Soundtrack: Eery Silence
Sorry for the lack of recent Konjoe updates. The nefarious ulterior motive of this blog was to provide a soapbox for me to write for an audience, but that void is now occupied by Business School applications. Thus, this new advent of non-entries is acts as a harbinger for the status quo of this blog for at least the next few months.
I hate to end this entry on such a forbidding note, so I will convey the recent joy of receiving my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as well as Animal Spirits! Animal Spirits is being compared to the immortal works of Keynes, thus I couldn't resist. PPZ addressing the undead and I similarly couldn't resist.
Strangely, reading these books in parallel, I am seeing thematic consistencies about the "human condition." PPZ fundamentally is addressing the common thread of all zombie lore: humans as automatons. This is a gross oversimplification, but just wait till I oversimplify Animal Spirits! Akerlof and Shiller's work is fundamentally about human emotions and how they drive our actions like a hunger for brains!
Too much of a reach? Yeah, but at least I got my ending!

Just got back to Tokyo from a spectacular visit to the land of my younger brother.
Here are some quick photos:
