i learned an interesting thing today. evidently the word "subaru" in japanese refers to the constellation of orion. this seems oddly synchronous as i’ve always liked orion and i have (and wanted for a long time) a subaru.

(later) i tried finding a link to an accurate account (if any) relating to the japanese mythology of subaru. this site is the best i can find, and it, like all the others, say that subaru actually refers to the pleiades, which makes sense. oh well. it’s still good to know!
