A Better Change
October 21, 2003
Hit F5 a few times just in case but if you’re reading this then you’ll have noticed the difference.
I was planning a change in design for awhile now. The previous look made me dizzy. Now it’s a bit cleaner and easier to maintain and I can change sections quite easily. I always wanted to change pictures and colors to reflect new moods or maybe in celebration of holidays and what not. Now it’s much easier to do but whether I’ll do it remains to be seen. The picture at the top is nothing right now but if I find interesting pictures then it’ll link up to an enlargement. The webcam thumb also enlarges. By the way, those penguins are from the Osaka Aquarium I visited in March.
Now the three main parts of my webpage are not uniform anymore. That’s ok, my original intent was that those three parts were entirely different areas.
I’m dead tired. Nothing much – been helping out Eri’s family business. It’s too hard to explain what I do but there’s some physical labor involved. So basically after work I go and do some more work. It’ll all be worth it when I look back and think to myself, “I did the right thing by helping them out even though it drained me of energy during that time.” I think I’m getting some sort of monetary compensation too. Of course I refused because I was helping them for the sake of helping them but apparently they feel bad if I don’t take it. I don’t know though… don’t get me wrong I’d love to take it because, well, money CAN buy happiness (especially in this very consumeristic country).
Also, apparently I’m wrong about the tumor being benign. I think it’s cancer. The whole thing doesn’t look too good right now but I don’t know what to think. In less than a week he’ll go through the operation. Fingers crossed, prayers prayed, good thoughts sent, please.
Ack. Too tired to sound coherent anymore.
Here’s a fun link – Americakokki.com – I haven’t explored the whole site but the English lessons are awesome. It makes me feel proud to be teaching English. The comics were the kid dies for no reason is alright but got repetitive after the 11th one for me.
