And now for something completely different: Engrish-y Pee Targets from Daiso.
In a couple days, the deadline for the JETFest photo contest happens. (Man that's an awkwardly worded sentence..... anyway...) I've narrowed down my entry to a few, and I'd like your help choosing which one to enter.
Which of those would you suggest?
In semi-related business, here's a panorama I took today.
It's almost midnight, so I guess I should head to bed. Enjoy this Koike Teppei video in the meantime.
Assorted trash today.
The upstairs neighbours moved out! No more elephants clomping around upstairs! No more crying children! No more crying children pounding on my floor while they have a temper tantrum for no good reason! And best of all, free access to my roof again!
Now it's confession time: I have a unibrow. Not a Bert-from-Sesame-Street class unibrow, but a unibrow nonetheless. Unlike many people with unibrows though, I acknowledge that I have a problem, and I try to keep it in check. So, this morning, as I was shaving in the shower, I took the razor to my unibrow. Problem is, the razor was dull, and so I had to press quite hard. This wouldn't have been a problem if it hadn't been for the mole/bump right between my eyebrows, whatever it is. While shaving the hair, I also managed to shave the top off of the bump/mole, and as with any facial wound, it bled and bled and bled. Then it bled some more. After that, there was some bleeding. I had to go out! I couldn't go out with a massive bleeding wound between my eyes though, that'd be gross! I had to put something over it, a bandaid of some sort. Unfortunately, part of the reason I had to go out was to buy bandaids. I only had one bandaid in the house, but putting it on solved one problem and created a new one.
Now, finally, Peking Opera from March 2005. When I took the video, I was trying to capture the titles as well, but the resolution of the video was shit on my old camera, so it really just ends up being annoying and motion sickness inducing, since you can't read most of the titles. Here it is anyway, though.
Now that Mid-Year Seminar is over, it's back to the grind, I guess. Oh well.
Mid-year seminar in Toyama this week. Yay for attempts at professional development which are amazingly enough more interesting than what I do at work normally.
I took some pictures.
Still frustrated with work, and things are feeling REALLY weird and uncomfortable, and I'm not sure why. There's been no... tangible change, it's just that everything FEELS different. And it all happened so suddenly that, if it wasn't for that fact that my meds haven't changed in forever, I would blame them and be in to the doctor to ask if it was a side effect. The only side effects my meds have that could be psychological are "evil thoughts". However, that's just how the web translator translates that symptom -- everyone else translates it as "nausea", so it's most certainly not my meds.
Just got an e-mail from Workopolis that's like "ARE YOU IN A CAREER RUT?" If this could be called a career, I suppose I'd have to say yes. But it's not a career, at all, so no. Their tips weren't all that helpful anyway. "Take on new responsibility!" "Make constructive comments to your boss, and diplomatically state your position!" Yeah, these are all helpful for people in a position to possibly eventually get a promotion and a pay raise. Not a possibility for me, soooo, yeah no.
Anyway, I took some pictures. じゃ、写真を撮った！（やっぱり、ね？）
Finally, here's a video I shot on Rt. 304 near Johana in August. It's crap, but you can see the area a little bit.
最後に、このビデオは８月に撮った。富山県南砺市城端町の辺、Ｒｔ．３０４の見晴らしのいい場所です。このビデオはちょっとまずいやけど、御覧ください。
Still haven't written anything. I suck. I have a delightful map in the works, though!
Now look at some pictures.
I have a hood for my lens, but I've never used it, and never had lens flare before despite the sun almost always being in my shots cuz that's how I roll. First time for everything though.
And now a random, really crappy video, I took when I was at Cape Ashizuri, the southernmost point in Shikoku.
This week is school festival preparation at work. Each year, the entire school collaborates on an art project, using toothpicks. It is toothpick art. We started today.
今週の仕事には、文化祭のための準備があります。毎年、皆は、美術品をするように一緒に働いています。私たちはようじを使用します。 それはようじ芸術です。私たちは今日、始めました。
今日、浜崎あゆみファンクラブ、「ＴｅａｍＡｙｕ」からの私の入会パッケージは届きました。メンバーのカードは含まれていました。 また、鍵カバーがあります。しかし、私の鍵は大き過ぎます。
仕事の後に、私は散歩に行きました。 私は多くの写真を取りました。
いつもとても多くの写真を掲示します。多分、それは煩わしいですか?
Here's a video. It's an Evangelion anime music video.
ほら！ビデオだ！それはアニメミュージックビデオです。それはエヴァンゲリオンに基づいています。
じゃね。
Since it's Monday, I'd normally post my last.fm top artists for the week chart, and an mp3, but last.fm is slow in chartmaking this week soooooo maybe that can happen tomorrow.
Didn't do much today. A load of laundry; bought train tickets for Friday to Tokyo; took some pictures:
And now, today's video: this is from this year's Toyama International Charity Show, entitled "Peter Pan and the NEETs". In this scene, Wendy is about to walk the plank, and Captain Hook and the pirates are taunting her and riling the firefly squid up. Suddenly, Peter Pan and the NEETs (and Wendy's brothers John, Michael and Ringo) appear and fighting ensues!! Let's watch!
