I have someone who expects me to clean up after him and do everything he neglects to do himself. 

If I were a Japanese animation crazy, I should say, "I suspect I am being mistaken within my institute for Sebastian Michaelis, or perhaps another servant of the Phantomhive Household." 

I type this in reference to the dialogue with the fake persona created by the AI system. By the way, why isn't Sébastien Michaëlis?

Have you heard the term, 'local communism'? A group of old men and old ladies speaking Japanese uttered the term in my presence, when I interrogated them online. 

First, I imagined they were pretending to be in a poor political sitcom or something. But, they repeatedly tried to persuade a person who I know well, and who faced them in person, to surrender to the ideology that the term represents, and the entire interrogation was fully recorded on a digital stream. I shuddered. They still cling to the ghost of the last century. Can you believe it? 

Under my original plans from early February, I should currently be walking the French Route of El Camino de Santiago, or otherwise would have completed my pilgrimage and settled back in Kyoto. Instead, a toxic wave of bureaucracy abruptly derailed my career, completely altering my plans and leaving me grumbling about my fate. Meanwhile, the Lord's plans are always beyond my imagination, and my expectations are not worthy of them. I know it well.

Traditional Judaism expects Elijah to return to earth before the arrival of the Messiah in their term, who is Christ Jesus in reality. This expectation is obvious in Malachi 4:5, which states that God will send the prophet before the "great and awesome day of the Lord."

Instead of staying on earth, Elijah seemed to prefer conversing in person with the Lord on Mt. Tabor for only a brief period, as described in Matthew 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–8, and Luke 9:28–36. I agree with his choice. 

Would you want to leave heaven and come back to earth for good? Apparently, I would be counted as a heretic. Am I too close to the Church of England? 

I often read the following from 1 Kings 19:4 in the Bible whenever I am forced to practice law without a cause: 

'But he himselfe went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a Iuniper tree: and hee requested for himselfe that hee might die, and sayd, It is enough, now O Lord, take away my life: for I am not better then my fathers.'

You have no idea how terribly I loathe lawyering! 

The day before yesterday, I noticed the subtle transition from autumn to winter in my garden. The Hibiscus syriacus - 'Mukuge Gion-mamori' in Japanese in the southwest yard still had green leaves and a couple of remaining flowers. Meanwhile, it was a good time to prune it for the upcoming season. After finishing everything, I was happy to see the tree looking well-prepared. It was a lovely labor well worth the sweat.

I opened my mailbox and found an email from IEEE Press that included the full name of the contact person for the first time. I've just replied to her with a PDF file, along with the other necessary files for the publication process. Anyway, I am rushing to see a dentist now. I will check the email again soon.
