Serenity

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.

It’s Still Winter

I was hoping to see the whole Ume no Kouen (Plum Flower Park) in Yoshi-no-Baigou, Ome, covered in pinks and whites. Alas, this was the scene that greeted me.

Boo!

But anyway, if the weather is great and my lethargy decides to take a break next Sunday, I *might* just go back there to finally shoot me some ume blossoms — probs more blossoms that I will ever handle, unlike the one below:

On to other things:

* Torah Bright got the gold in the Women’s Halfpipe competition in the OGs. It was brilliant! Too bad neither 2006 Gold Medalist Hannah Teter nor 2002 Gold Medalist Kelly Clark could top her technical stunts. They, however, shared the podium with her as Teter got the silver, and Clark (who was so amusing with her karaoke~ing before her runs) got the bronze.

* Shaun White is awesome. ‘Nuff said.

* The Storm will have an exhibition game with Phoenix on May 2 at Key Arena. Can’t wait!

Bah Humbug 2009

I just realized it’s only a matter of — OH MY GOD — 2 days before Christmas and what the heck we still have work til the 26th (yes, they don’t celebrate Christmas here, but whatever, we’ve known that since the beginning of time so let’s move on, get it over and done with)!

So anyway, here’s my version of the Grinchy Kilcher for 2009. I managed to add some sort of festiveness (if there is even such a word) by donning on my favorite hat (of the moment) — Meemax‘s gift jester hat from Veeeeeghuzzzz.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, EVERYALL!

There is melancholy in change.
But change is necessary and inevitable.

Whatever.

Not the basketball kind, unfortunately (but speaking of that — GO STORM!).

A week ago, I finally managed to drag myself out of my room and walk around the neighborhood. My supposed trip to Yodobashi to check out a cheap lens was in vain but I managed to snap these photos with my trusty 50mm f1.8 and my new-old D80.
