daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Hi all! I’ve been doing quick sketches and doodles on my iPad almost every day (even if it is for just a few minutes) for a while now, but now that October has started, I thought I would give Inktober a try. I’m not going to use ink, nor follow the official prompts, but I’ll just try to do a more “complete” sketch every day. So, without further ado, here are my first two sketches:
TV Japan is currently airing the anime series K-On! here in the States. I get a little sad at the beginning of each episode because there is a message mentioning Kyoto Animation, which produced this anime and who were the victims of the terrible arson tragedy in July of this year (2019).
I really enjoyed K-On! when I watched it a couple of years ago, and I’ll watch the episodes again since it’s such a fun anime. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!
Just a photo of Anko today. I’m super-busy at work as we finish up a gigantic project. In fact, I worked until about 8 pm at the office! But it was good work and I am satisfied with how much I got done. Happy to be back home, though. 😊
こんばんは。How’s it going?
My brother and sister-in-law were in town and one of the places they wanted to go was Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon to play chicken shit bingo. Mariko and I had never been there before so we were very interested in going and seeing what it was all about.
As you might have guessed from the name, it’s a game where a chicken is placed on a large bingo card, and the number he poops on determines the winning ticket. If you have one of the winning tickets, you get a share of the prize money. Surprisingly, my brother and sister won! We had no idea what the prize would be, but it turns out that it was a not insignificant amount of cash. What a score!
If you are in Austin, you should check out chicken shit bingo at Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon. It’s a real Texas experience, with live music and two-step dancing, and buckets of Lone Star Beer. Lots of fun!
I hope you had a nice day!
またね～
