Three-day weekend
5.31.2005 7:25 PM \| Link	This past weekend included Memorial Day, so I had an extra day to do all kinds of fun stuff (which was nice since I had to do a little unexpected work on Saturday). Besides the usual Japanese studying, watching DVDs and reading books, I bought a new small shelf to hold some of my new toys (Astro Boy and Star Wars figures), so I had a blast opening them up, checking out the details, and posing them! I also built a little Power Rangers LEGO toy that I won at Dave & Busters, and it was so much fun to play with LEGO again, even if it was only for ten minutes or so. I played DDR for a solid hour at Main Event, and I got to be "Dance Dance Sensei" for some 12-year old who played doubles with me. On Sunday, my usual gang of pals came over and we grilled some chicken and hot dogs outside, then watched some absolutely terrible episodes of the 1970's Richard Pryor TV show (courtesy of Ernesto). My big Monday project was taking macro shots of my toys and things using white foam board and desklamps, along with other tips from my pal Barron. I took a ton of shots, and I'm pretty happy with the results (although I still had to digitally color balance them - I think I need a third lamp or something). You can expect to see these popping up on Flickr for a while! Labels: life
