It's a crazy world out there!

I went to the library to take pictures of the places in the City, and it was surprising harder than I thought it would be. First, I wanted to use my friend's camera that was professional and took great quality pictures. Unfortunately, that was out of commission, but I borrowed his digital camera.

I don't like digital cameras because you can't focus them on a singular area like a professional lens camera. Aw, well...

I planned for many things today, like a meeting at 1 pm today, then run around the City, taking pictures like a tourist, but the meeting was canceled and unexpectedly put myself up to do designs for a T-shirt, which, funny thing, was due before 4:30 pm. I went home first, drew as much as my half-thinking mind could, and sent off my designs to my friend. Thankfully, I didn't receive an email back saying, "WTF are these?!"

And then, I took the mistake of lingering on the Internet longer than I needed to. And I just happened to click on one of the anime sites on my bookmark and watch Vampire Knight, which just had to have new English-subtitled episode out.

Oh, and I did use up 24 minutes of my life to watch it. (By the way, you should watch it!)

I had to personal reprimand myself for staying online too long before running to my favorite tea cake store, Hogestu, and taking pictures there. I exited the store with some mochi, strawberry chews, and one mission accomplished.

I went down the street to the library and walked inside the place I hadn't been since I was in high school. It was almost the same. There was still random art on the walls. The computer lab was in the same place, but I ensured not to look into the room in case I was lured in by the glowing, vision-decreasing monitors.

After a couple of pictures and dodging the library patrol--since when did they have them?!--before looking for some books on HTML, XHTML, XML, PHP, and Dreamweaver and Flash. I spent the next hour thumbing through books, jotting down notes about how to use certain programs.

I snapped a few more pictures, very very conscious of anyone lingering too close to me, and then jetted out of there. So far, my picture mission hasn't been the best, but I have managed to get some pictures of the library, the tea cake store, a couple taco shops, and my favorite chicken place. Tomorrow, however, will be very different. I will really be in picture mode, hoping to snap shots of various places around the City.

Sooooo exciting, right? Hey, there's a catch to going to Japan, remember?
