I Won't Sleep Tonight

Description

True story. I spent a weekend up in Odaira-Juku, which is an Edo-period cabin, campground thing. You sleep in old, traditional houses (though many of them were rebuilt after burning down ten years ago), cook and heat bathwater with wood fires, the whole bit.

A lot of these buildings now have basic electricity, just for the sake of having lights, really. There's no internet, no cellphone signal, nothing for miles. The day I get there, I go to inspect my room, open the closet door, and the scariest TV you've ever seen is sitting in there, complete with VCR.

We plugged it in and turned it on just to see. The screen immediately blared loud static and then faded to white, just like the start of the video in Ring.

We promptly shut it off, unplugged the television, and left the room. I still totally had to sleep in there, though.

I waited until just before we left to take these photos. You know, just in case I made anything angry.

Honestly, I think I like this pic better than the other one.
