daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
こんばんは。
Today’s photo is of the daily sketch I made, with my Timex Weekender watch and a few other items for fun. I wore this watch today because I saw an online friend’s Instagram post and it looked so nice that I was inspired! You know how you watch a movie where the characters are drinking, and it makes you want a drink, or they’re smoking and you think a cigarette might be nice? I guess that same sort of thing came over me. 😆
Here’s the Instagram pic, btw:

Somewhat related, here’s an article in Wired about all the booze in the movie Casablanca. (found link via Boing Boing)
I hope you had a good day!

こんばんは。Today I was watching my favorite program “10km Run” and I noticed that the host took a photo of her shoe with the cool manhole cover. I smiled because I did the same thing when I ran in Osaka a few years ago. It’s so fun to run and sightsee/take photos.
By the way, here’s a site all about manhole covers. If you are interested… 🤗

I hope you had a nice day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Recently, I started keeping a logbook which is basically a list of things that happened during the day. It’s sort of like an after-the-fact planner. I don’t know if there is much practical value in doing this since it’s not searchable like a digital logbook would be, but I like to use my pens to write, and sometimes it’s interesting to jog my memory and just do a quick reflection on the day.
By the way, I didn’t fully dry my hands after washing them, and the ink I used is not waterproof. ☺
Thanks to Patrick for the logbook idea! Here’s the post on his blog:

While going through some of my old clothes, I came across two items from my alma maters, Torrance High School and UC Irvine. The one from high school was my old cross-country jersey. It was cool to look at it again before putting it in the trash. Its last bit of usefulness was to remind me of the good times I had running in high school. Honestly, I didn’t really enjoy cross-country. Haha. But it happened, and it gave me experiences and I learned about myself.
The other item I found is a pull-over from college. I really like the classic design and color, but it’s uncomfortable and not soft anymore. Actually, I don’t think it was ever very soft. Anyway, I was going to throw it away but then Bay decided he wanted it. I guess he’s into “college mode” or something. I’d eventually like to get a more comfortable replacement for the pull-over because I am sort of proud of graduating from UCI. It’s not really high on my list, though. 😄
Who knew decluttering could be so fun?
