is it because i'm an aesthetico-terrorist?
some wise guy recently sent me this...
i just think japan has a magical way of being whatever anyone wants it to be. whatever problems one finds with it can be cancelled by a kind of "japan is an exception to all the usual rules" type argument... it's necessarily a zero-sum game that you guys are playing, but it's fun to watch, no doubt about that. but nobody can win. i like your aesthetico-terrorist approach though.
...and all i have to say is: i am SO happy that someone used the word (MADE the word?) aesthetico-terrorist approach to describe my blogging. you (mystery commenter) should get paid by the letter for this delicious phrase!
