Monday was a pretty busy workday. Not much time to screw around.
The evening produced a lazy night and few updates on the site. Mostly did the last post from Monday (below), but I did do some cleaning up of images. All the main picture index pages should look pretty consistent. Also added a preview for pictures from Hungary and Ireland on the Destinations. In between I did manage to chat with SC and JMVC and had to explain where the camping pictures were to SL.
Today, on the way to work, I heard this story on NPR about the Japanese fascination with kitsch. Apparently there's a giant swap meet in the Rose Bowl a couple times a year. Japanese merchants come over and pay thousands for this stuff and sell it for upwards of five times what they paid. Dude, if they want crap, I got a storage locker up in Parts Unknown filled with it. I'll deliver it myself with a smile on my face.
If you ever wanted to know why the Japanese don't run the world, feel free to listen to that story. You can't live on the cast-offs of another society.
Work time, American style.
