“Texas Sunset” Cedar Park, 2021
Watching A Scene at the Sea / あの夏、いちばん静かな海。
“Yuzu & Takako” Cedar Park, 2021
I have a bunch of movies on my computer that I need to watch, and looking at the list, I decided to just start alphabetically. A Scene at the Sea / あの夏、いちばん静かな海。 is a 1991 Takeshi Kitano movie about a deaf man who starts surfing.
I enjoyed the relaxed vibe and 90s-era clothes. So uncool and yet so kakkoi (cool). The story was not anything to write home about and the end was kind of a head-scratcher, but it was an interesting movie, if only for the nostalgia. On a positive note, the soundtrack was really good, which can be expected from the great Joe Hisaishi.
Watching Lupin III: The First (2019)
“Laeticia and Lupin” Austin, 2021
I met my anime move-watching partner Mikey this evening to watch Lupin III: The First at the theater. The movie was excellent! The animation, dialog, action, and soundtrack were outstanding. Such a fun film! And I was happy to see Fujiko kick some butt as she usually does. In fact, all the other main characters were pretty much perfect in this movie. I’m not a Lupin expert, but to me, this movie captured the essence of the franchise quite well.

I definitely recommend Lupin III: The First!
College Signing Banner
“High School Foyer” Cedar Park, 2021
I picked up Koa at his high school today to take him to a dentist appointment. I took this photo at the entrance foyer while waiting for him.
I always enjoy looking at the banner with the college logos and all the names of the students who signed with them. And I see a couple kids are at Rice! Go Owls!
Brisket Dinner
“Brisket Dinner” Cedar Park, 2021
A little overdone because I didn’t wrap the foil tight enough. So I’m a little disappointed. But there was still plenty of tender brisket to satisfy the teenager.
As for the crust, I chopped it up and made breakfast tacos out of. So it’s all good!
Loving Curbside
“Curbside” Cedar Park, 2021
As the COVID-19 pandemic surges yet again, I am thankful for HEB’s curbside service. I believe the products are marked up about 3%, but it’s so convenient to shop online and have the groceries placed into the back of the car by an HEB employee that I believe it’s well worth the extra cost. And judging by the number of other shoppers using the service, it’s gaining in popularity during the Delta variant surge.

Unstable Skies
“Break in the Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021
Hurricane Ida is churning in the Gulf of Mexico and up here in Austin we are seeing the outer band of clouds. It makes for a lot of interesting cloud formations in the sky but I just hope there won’t be too much hurricane damage along the coast…
It’s been a while since I made a time-lapse video using my Fujifilm X-E4 but today was a great opportunity. Enjoy!
