Z Reflections

I took a couple million pictures of these buildings and was never thrilled with any of them. This picture grew on me after I spent an hour re-working it into something especially blue. I like blue. After arguing with myself for a while I decided to leave in the green light on the top left hand side. Do you like it in there or think it is an unnecessary distraction? I welcome any and all comments.

People have been asking me lately if the pictures/videos on my blog come from somewhere else. The answer is they are all mine except for a few minor exceptions which are noted. I believe my readers want and deserve original content. I aim to please!

My phone makes a variety of noises but none of them wake me up anymore. I got this retro looking alarm clock last year and liked it. The number are a nice bright blue and at night they glow. When you plug the alarm clock in it all lights up blue kind of like a night light. Sadly, one morning I must have done something to it because the pin that controls the time in the back came out. I returned it to the right position but it started losing time even more than I do! What is funny is at a local store (Bic Camera) they sell an alarm clock that is reinforced and can survive being bounced off the floor. The sales guy said they sell a ton of them to people visiting from India. He didn't know why either! Too bad it only makes the traditional alarm clock beeping sound.

Yesterday my friend Robert and I grabbed some snacks from McDonald's and set outside by Nagoya Station to enjoy the sunny weather. I tell you this story to share with you how much the Japanese love bags.

My order of fries came in the usual container and then went in a paper bag. Seeing I was an American they included a cute container of ketchup. Sadly, this ketchup did not get its own bag. My large coke (not actually that large) came in the usual container and then went in a paper bag. Both bags were carefully folder at the top as is the custom. Usually it is taped too but I think McDonald's just does the big precise fold. Anyway, both bags were put into the big bag you can see in the link below. A big thank you goes to Robert and his i-Phone for the picture and link.
