"In this age of fact-finding bodies of all kinds the very word 'problem' is suspect, but so far as shop design is concerned it is only necessary to drive across any of our large cities, note-book or camera in hand, on the look-out for any good ideas in shop planning, treatment or decoration, to be made aware of the utter lack of anything worth recording throughout the length of the great majority of shopping streets."

"I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland."

Go to an ophthalmologist.
Was already almost fully recovered.
The vision test,
becoming more and more small letters
saying that I hit most of the bullshit.
Ridiculous, but it also hit the top half.
I'll test this intuition
rather than a vision test.
Accidental poetry from Tadanori Yokoo's twitter.

Guest: Oh, my God... Oh! My problem is, I've got one mobile and two children.
