Rain Town

In this town, since who knows when, rain has never stopped.
Residents moved out to suburbs and high ground around
"rain town."
People's memories are now deeply submerged.
But into this forgotten rainy town
sometimes, someone wanders.
Graduation film a Kyoto Seika University.



A friend shared this movie with me today.  It is short so if you have the time I hope you will watch it.  Where I am currently living it rains about half the year and so this film has already found a special place in my heart.  

Blessings

Mad Russian's Dinner

Once every year, the president of my college assigns the students with the task of writing and preforming something.  Each class works on it together and comes up with something fitting to the category they were given and but with as much humor in it as they can stuff it with.  Then on a Saturday night was we dress-up, some of us in dresses others in jeans and t-shirt (and everywhere in between) and we sit down to eat a meal cooked by the president of the college.  The meal consists only Russian food and it is some of the best food one could ever eat in their life time.  Then after having Russian cream for dessert, the performances begin. 

That is what my night started out with, laughter, good food, and much more laughter.  But there was much more to last night then the dinner party.  There was a walk in the cold to the grocery store to get the last ingredients to make a cake.  There was a staring contest which probably hasn't stopped yet unless someone has washed Jacob's drawings off the table.  There were brownies and a dance party in the kitchen.  And to top it off we watched History of the World Part I.  

Now that that night is over I am going to go nurse my foot(because I dropped a stool on it last night).

Have a nice day.

Snow Drops

I found this small field of snow drops.  It was the first time I have seen real snow drops.  I have seen them in photos and plastic snow drops but seeing the real thing was great.  I picked a few and brought them back to my room.  They now sit next to my computer and brighten my day a little every time I see them.
I wish you will find your own snow drop today to make your day even a little bit better.

Spring has Arrived

Went out this morning to get a bubble tea.  Found the shop closed but I found these flowers on the way back home.  Spring is here!!

Playing with Art

This this just something I did for my art class.  I am currently playing with a different style of art then I have ever used before.  As well as using charcoal instead of pencil.  It is a new experience but I am having lots of fun with it.
