We are making some eco bags to sell on tour. This is our first model - raindrop = music note. We printed them all in our bedroom with our trusty print gocco.
If you don't know about print gocco you have to check this out.
I was driving home on the highway after dropping my daughter off at her first day of exam-week at her high school [good luck, 'Lena!] and someone was slowly passing me on the right during some congestion, blasting "Staying Alive" by the BeeGees on their open-topped blaze-red Miata.
I turned and was greeted by what you see here.
I think it was a very liberated dude wearing more eye-make-up than should legally be allowed while driving.
Transvestites.
I love Richmond more and more.

Please let me know if anyone else has seen this... nice, brave person. I want the story.
After this incident, I realized Alex, my son, had neglected to take his lunch from the back seat, so I turned back around and went to drop it off at JH. I had already dropped him off late just prior to Elena [alarm-clock malfunction; SNAFU: User Error]...
Grr. Double-Grr, even... But having just seen THIS! ha! No stress at all...
Great, odd little morning... and my kids are awesome.

Re-writting my notes from my first meeting with my new Japanese tutor. During the lesson I just scribbled down the notes quickly so we could move through, and now I am taking the time to neaten them up and organize all the thoughts.
Grammar is my weakest point, so that is what we are working on, and if I run across any new words, I will pick up those as we go. Since my grammar is at a lower level than my kanji and general vocab knowledge, I probably will not run into anything much that's new to me for a little while. This is good though, because this means I can fully concentrate on the grammar.
The verb form above is not the only thing we went over today, we also worked on turning adjectives into nouns... such as (cute) かわいい → かわいさ (cuteness) and so on.
I plan to also save these notes digitally as well, but this is good handwritten practice for me. She said that usually students want to focus on spoken Japanese, but I asked her to tutor me based on reading and writing, because that is what I am already strong in. I will let the speaking come later. She said she was the same way when learning English, when she came here she was able to read and write, but not speak very well, so she understands where I'm coming from. :)
Thank you, hana, for suggesting that I look into private tutoring (as an alternative to self study or college classes).
This set was made for a friend's mom who was celebrating 50 years of playing the piano for their church.

Note the remarkable bevor of the soldier with the kettle-hat. It could be a fantasy of the painter, depicting 'old Biblical' armour ...
Note how Micki is briefly checking her device and texting in the middle of dinner. This is perfectly acceptable (and even expected) behavior in today's modern highly interconnected multitasking culture. Get used to it. Evolve or die.

Earlier today I found these two bank notes from the old country snuggled in the back of a dusty book. These were in general circulation between 1978 and 1990, and so would have seen me through the end of high school, my two years national service, my three degrees and my initial move to the UK. Fascinating times.
The note is supposed to depict Johan Anthoniszoon "Jan" van Riebeeck, but some National Party bureaucrat screwed up and the portrait on the old bank notes is of Bartholomeus Vermuyden, as painted by Dirck Craey (1650) and currently hanging in the Rijksmuseum. The actual van Riebeeck was far less glamorous as this portrait of him in the Rijksmuseum reveals. Researcher Jonkheer F.G.L.O van Kretschmar has also determined that the popular portrait of van Riebeeck's wife, Maria, was more likely that of Catharina Kettingh, wife of Bartholomeus Vermuyden. The real Maria van Riebeeck (nee de la Queillerie) was as frumpish as her husband - this is the portrait of her in the Rijksmuseum. Worse still, by all accounts the statue in Adderley Street, Cape Town, is not a likeness of Maria either, but of the "wife of the chairman of the Dutch committee that helped to organise the 1952 Van Riebeeck festival in Cape Town." (Giliomee and Mbenga, 2007, "New History of South Africa"). Incredible - you couldn't believe a goddamn thing under the old apartheid regime.
Interesting read here.
