Not too busy to have some fun.

Being busy is not that fun. I don't like it. Work is busy because it's the end of the month. (Word to my mother.) I am also setting up a big project which is taking all free time away. More details later...

Let's see if I can put some interesting things together for all yall. Go-go-gadget-brain! Don't fail me now!

Look...a yellow cab in Tokyo!


Well, almost.

Although I‘ve been busy, I had a nice chat with one of my sister’s yesterday. She was stuck at the airport...but thanks to the technology gods...we were able to pass some of the time together online. One interesting part of the IM chat is worth sharing...I think. It started with an email she sent me with a link to this ad/solicitation. People on the site seem to like the ad a lot. We had a slightly different take on it.

It says "If you don’t help feed them, who will? Please call Concordia Children’s Services at (02) 713-3462."
