Picture Time
August 12, 2003
On the last day of July, a hot and humid Thursday, I was probably playing Battlezone II for the millionth time when I heard a lot of drums and music from outside. I knew it was going to be something cool. On the way home from work, I saw some Chinese lion dancing going on and some people were wearing shirts that said something about a lion something festival. Because I have such a powerful sense of foresight, I placed my shitty digital camera beside me with the cap off. I was ready to snap at anything out of the ordinary. So, at the beat of the drums, I opened my window and saw the second of three trucks. On the back of the trucks were about a dozen traditionally dressed ladies. They even had the very Japanesque white faced makeup. I took aim and managed to get a blurry picture of the third truck as it passed my house. The ladies were waving at people and a few of them managed to spot me, on the balcony, with a camera aiming at them. They smiled a lovely smile. They might’ve also been smiling (smirking) because I was shirtless at the time and my upper body ain’t exactly pleasing to the ladies.
So without further delay, here is another picture that will be found in a miscellaneous dump in the Created page. I’ll put that up soon.
Sorry about this blurry picture. I really need a new camera. And sorry for waiting two weeks before putting it up – I was going to take some more pictures and fill up the card but eh… it was too hot. There’s this cool lantern hanging thing at the temple near my house so maybe I’ll get some more pics soon.
