Back on Monday, I went to Mister Donut to get a quick dinner before work. When I walked in, there was a giant hornet buzzing around the kitchen area that was visible from the lobby. A group of high schoolers were understandably freaked out. I started to freak out right along with them!
I chatted with the next patron behind me about the hornet. It was fun sharing pleasantries over a shared situation, even if it was a bit scary.
This situation reminds me of a nearly identical one that happened on the train going to the countryside last year. Once again, there was a giant hornet on the train, freaking out all the passengers on board. At the time I didn't say anything to the man standing by me. But I kept looking at the man, and pointing to the hornet with my eyes. The man blinked a few times as if to say, "I know. I know." For me, this was a なるほど moment in realising how much people communicate just with their eyes.
On Thursday, I went shopping for some final items that I was sending to a friend in Canada. While I was out, I picked up a package of dye to make my own tie-dye t-shirt similar to the one that Dave is wearing in his new music video release I mentioned yesterday. (I even commented that I appreciated his fashion choice because of the throwback to the 90s.)
After I got my friend's package sent off, I spent the remainder of that day designing a new page spread, which I will be posting momentarily. The experience takes me back to my graphic design class, and I forgot how much I enjoy page layout and print design.
Yesterday was pretty much a carry over from Thursday, where I put the final touches on my page spread. I also spent some time practising the alternate version of Misery on guitar. I'm starting to get the hang of it, but is it EVER hard on your hand as a beginner!
I also picked up some items that I missed. An undisclosed item for a future video, and just some hygiene items that needed to replenish. Pretty boring stuff!
