I feel like I’m in university! I’ve been updating everyday for the past… 2 days!
The “Created” and “Captured” buttons have had their pictures replaced with pictures that you may actually find some sort of analogy to the word. The first pictures were of my clock and of a school of fish from the aquarium. Go think that one over. Also, the Captured page itself is complete although right now it’s sort of empty. The big pictures here are supposed to be blurry. I need to do more things to fill up my webpage. I’m going to run out of space soon. BTW, I suddenly started using the words, “Spoken, Created, Captured” because first it was more appealing than Blog, Gallery, Photos and it also has more marketing appeal, don’t you think? Not that I have any plans to become a commercial project or something but good marketing never hurts. It just basically started with “spoken” as a blog name and then I thought, well, might as well name the other parts with past participles. Sadly, the past participles of create and capture aren’t as cool as speak. I was thinking of using “Taken” instead for “Captured” because you know, you can “take” pictures. But after some though, “Taken” sounded too sexual for some reason. Yes I know, “Captured” can also be like that too but it was cooler so shut up.
Today after work I joined a few people for coffee. There was an Israeli, a Chinese, an Australian, and a Welsh dude. (That sentence would be a great start to some sort of joke) It was quite fun. I’ve never heard so much bashing of different countries before in one sitting. It was rather amusing. Of these 4 people, I’ve only met one of them outside of work before and it was only one time. I really need to get out and do more stuff with people. Tomorrow I’m going to my first Japanese person’s birthday party (other than Eri). I’m excited as I get a chance to practice the language I’ve picked up these couple of days of studying. I still suck, don’t get the impression from my writing that I’m fluent or anything, far from it.
I tried to get Eri to write comments here but then she reminded me she would only write really embarassing personal messages in a language that’s not quite English, not quite Japanese. This language was forged from our relationship. So, now I’m won’t be so sad if she doesn’t write…
