It’s been a long time, but after getting the first of this semesters classes completely finished today, I decided it was finally time to make an update post! This post would be much more interesting if I actually had some kind of news to update you all with, or had actually done anything at all, but as that is not the case it’s not going to be a very exciting read.
It seems that the biggest problem with writing a blog is the fact that it really makes you think about finding stuff to write about. Normally this wouldn’t be too much of a problem, but at the moment all it does is is rub in my face just how boring I have really been. Quite depressing really. The most amusing thing I’ve seen that wasn’t on television or some other form of digital media (i.e. ‘in the real world’) was a guy standing on the street trying to solicit donations to the Red Cross using no more than 3 words and by simply holding up his ‘Red Cross’ folder and pointing at it when people passed by. Everyone knew what he was after, but in the entire time I was watching, all he managed to do was make people laugh. Sadly no donations for the Red Cross from that guy.
In my extremely busy time studying I have managed to find time out of my busy schedule to watch copious hours of television and an episode of the terrible cartoon ‘American Dad’ made me think that having a recording device on myself at all times would be a really useful thing! Sure, American Dad works for the CIA so he had an excuse for always wearing a wire. I want to have something like that just for the sake of always being able to make notes on the amusing conversations I have with people that I think ‘oh I should blog that’ and then promptly forget about it as soon as the conversation topic changes. The only draw back would be that the amusing mental notes I add for myself would have to be said out loud into the recording device, that would either make people think I was crazy for talking to myself or make them hate me because the comments that amuse me are probably offensive to the people they are about, or both… best not to use the recording device, neither of those would be a good thing.
Well, for now it’s back to the study. Two assignments to finish off by Friday and then 10 days to study for an exam! It’s almost all over for another semester so wish me luck! As soon as my exam is over I’ll finally get around to editing the hundreds of photos from the rest of my Japan trip into small enough folders to put into some albums on here.
