Eating and drinking, eating and drinking, it all comes together in the parfait. (^_^)
Plus, it's so impressive (^^;) you can't even see the whole thing. (^_^)
It- It's gonna blow... (^_^)
Everybody rest well. And be careful of overeating. (^_^)
If you're thinking that the street is getting crowded while you're en route,
this day was Friday.
When I went to the store, when I went anywhere, it was full to capacity,
and trying to eat dinner was a pain.
Well, I didn't have any kind of prior reservation,
but anyway, random is the way I prefer it. (^^;)
However, going anywhere in Tokyo, you just get in line...
Stores that are rumored to be tasty quickly become average.
As I was resolved that this was going to be my lucky day,
when it came time for 'I want to go out to eat!'
I wanted to go by all possible means,
but seeing the eternal line, I changed stores. (^_^)
Does anyone go for it and get in line?
As for me, you might say I'm getting senile (^_^) but at my core I'm impatient.
Also, when my stomach is empty, I just can't be patient. (^_^)
Maybe I should go ahead with, 'Taking applications for gourmet restaurants in the metropolitan area with no lines' ?
P.S. I was invited on a mixed bathing tour, so with a dead spirit, I'll start doing sit-ups. (^_^)
Or maybe instead, before we get into the bath, we'll all get smashing drunk. (^_^)
When I was organizing my drawers,
I found the manual to Elemennts
and the pen tablet I bought to use with Photoshop. (^^;) *
I was charmed by the 'Easiest in the world to understand'
and wanted to buy it,
but as you might imagine, I didn't use it even one, yes. (^_^)
Having discovered it again after such a long time, I'll have to try and remember.
I'll be studying steadily night after night.
For the time being, from the picture processing the other days, I checked out that site,
and studied it, but I've got a while to go before I'm any good.
Maybe it'll add up. The more you know...? (^_^)
Are there any retouchers in the audience?
Uh..., personal lessons maybe... (^_^)
P.S. There are still places where the sakura aren't blooming, huh?
Somehow, I''ve found a little more motivation. (^_^)
[ * adorable spelling mistakes his own of course. also, that is a WACOM 4, my sister has one, and let me tell you, they are n.i.c.e. ]
Those of you who've been struck with a cold,
you should warm up with some motsunabe. (^_^)
However, the seriously cold days continue.
I thought spring had finally arrived, but suddenly, we relapsed into winter.
I just put my fan heater away a few days ago, and then I had to take it out again. (^_^)
After yesterday's picture, today I remembered I had something to do.
'Ah, I need to go to the music store.' So I headed out,
but suddenly, it was pouring rain, and the thunder was amazing,
so thanks to that, I got absolutely drenched.
I looked at the sakura blossoms falling in the rain,
and felt both sad and sad I couldn't take a picture. (^_^) *
I want to travel somewhere in search of sakura...
[note: the word i've translated here as "sad" is "hakanai" which actually means "ephemeral" or maybe "transient" or something like that. it refers to the empty sad feeling brought on by buddhist meditations on the short nature of human life.]
My grip still hasn't returned. (^^;)
Has everybody gotten over their muscle pain?
Today, I was thinking that if they hadn't completely fallen already,
I'd go take a picture of the sakura blossoms at night,
but while I was wandering around with my tripod,
it's started to sprinkle. (T_T)
Reluctantly, I gave up and went home.
Plus, the sakura immediately fell, so it was a bit of a shock.
Some kind of viewing party to see the blossoms in the rain with a group of adults,
I was in the mood for participating in a party like that. (^_^)
Eh? Drown it in sake, you say?
I was hoping they'd stay up until the weekend at least...
P.S. The sunburn was the final blow for my skin. (^^;)
This week, I'll do some careful mantainence, including on my body, too.
Today, I hit myself up with an injection of garlic. (^_^)
[note: sorry for the delay, folks. let's just say my poor car is a car no longer. (T_T) ]
How's everybody with muscle pain?
As for me, my whole body is aching with muscle pain. (^^;)
Whenever I go to Shirokane,
wouldn't you know it, the sakura were in full bloom!
Plus, Saturday was the height of it all.
I didn't really come for the early blooming...
But I started with my camera anyway, since the new blossoms where there.
Somehow they'd managed not to fall off until then...
A sakura blossom's life span is short, after all.
At last, spring. (*happy*)
P.S. In Shirokane, I was wearing a green knit hat,
and I kept getting, 'You planning on becoming a leaf with that?'
from people. (^_^)
[ * the title actually means "the sakura bloom" but i wanted to capture the alliteration he uses, so i went with this instead. ]
I have safely returned home.
Everyone physically healthy?
I'm concerned about the people who were injured.
Even I, when the meet was over, breathed a sigh of relief.
I only bruised my arm. (^^;)
Afterwards, the muscles in my feet started throbbing right away. (^_^)
My throat was throbbing, too. (^_^)
Well, I've been in this kind of Serious Mode all year,
so in Shirokane, I got to take out my loud voice and give it some excercise. (^_^)
Also, to all my teammates, I'm truly sorry...
This time ended with disappointing results,
but let's use this time to reflect, and next year we'll try hard together and aim for the championship.
Aah, it was really horrible... (*reflection*)
Eeeh, being seen like that, and loosing, I hate that.
To the people who participated, please give your bodies a good, long rest this evening.
Also, when we perk back up, let's groan about our muscle pain together. (^_^)
Great job everyone, truly. m(._.)m
P.S. Oh, and there was quite a lot of pinching and poking all over the place. (^_^)
'How's this, feeling good being tender?' (bwahahah)
Eh? No good? Of course... (^_^)
I'm going to sleep for the day soon. (^_^)
[note: i was curious, so i did a little research, and i found this page about the Shirokane ski lodge. it's near Nagano, and is right near some of the 1998 olympic facilities. cool indeed!]
