It's exam week at Tahara JHS and I had no classes today. I decided to go through my 'webwork' folders to get rid of any extra files, screencaps, .PSDs and such. Lots of nostalgia came about as the process went on.

One of my former roommates, Joey, was studying for some final or other. He ended up writing that fine expletive pictured above. I pulled out my video camera since I didn't have a digital still camera back then. Later I captured some pictures from a video box to my computer.

I found that picture among my archives.

I cleared out remnants of concept images, old documents that had no sympathetic value to me anymore and other tidbits of information. It's all surreal to think that I've done that bit of webwork in the past three years. Lots of crappy clients and lots of good memories of workplaces where I used to deploy my poor web design. Ah, nostalgia.

The kids at school had three periods of tests. At 2:00pm, teachers were heading home. Morizono sensei offered to drive me to Shimosone station (tsuyu, or rainy season, is in full effect). I wasn't going to refuse.

McDonald's seems to be the "exotic escape" at the moment, at least from eating Japanese food. Don't get me wrong - I love Japanese food. But this was my version of "having something different".

Dion came by and we ended up talking a bit over dinner. Cheeseburger in his hand and chopsticks in mine. Using the mini tripod that Rosalyn lent me, I asked him if I could take a picture. He didn't mind at all, so I put the 10 second timer on and we resumed talking.

He's moving into an apartment 9 floors above me around the 14th, so he'll actually be a neighbor of sorts about a week before I leave Kitakyushu. I'm glad.
