Koa and I are masked up and traveling to California for the weekend. I’m taking him to a front ensemble (band) camp, and then visiting my family. Looking forward to some good food and mahjong! 😀🀄
I enjoy driving, but traffic sucks.
I did a little tidying up on Sophie’s chain and derailleur today. I’m amazed at the design of derailleur mechanism. Sophie is almost 50 years old, but most of today’s bicycles still use the same system. Tried and true!
It also looks very cool, IMHO. 😀
Tonight my friend Mikey and I went to the theater to rewatch the classic Studio Ghibli film Laputa: Castle in the Sky / 天空の城ラピュタ. It was the first time for either of us to see it on the big screen, and it was also one of the Ghibli films we haven’t seem in a long time. I’m so glad we decided to watch it again because it was fantastic! There were so many iconic scenes and stills, like the ones in the photos, and the artwork of the landscapes and clouds were breathtaking. Paired with Joe Hisaishi‘s soundtrack, those scenes were absolutely magical.
One of the memories I had kept with me from the first viewing of the movie many years ago was how yummy the egg looked when they were having lunch in the cave. I just had to snap a photo of it. And yes, it still looks delicious! 😄
I hope you had a wonderful day!
