7/14/08 Good Day, Sunshine...I Take a Walk...I Feel Good...I've Got Something I Can Laugh About

First of all, I need to say, if you've been enjoying the photos on this blog and the way they are artfully selected and inserted, you should think of my husband as this is one of the many ways he is supporting me during this venture.  I take the photos, put them in iPhoto, export them and put them in my blog library.  But it is my husband who looks through those photos and, from my descriptions in the entries and labels on the photos, chooses which ones to include with the posts and it makes me exceedingly happy to have him collaborating, as the process of the blog can be cumbersome and a good photo chooser/inserter is essential!  Thank you, husband.  You do a way better job than I.

Once I was satisfied I'd gotten myself caught up with the blog, I headed out into the perfect and hot day.  I passed the perpetually shirtless Miyagi san and he muttered "Atsui, ne".  "Hai, so desu" said I.  I think I'll start a little cottage business and have t-shirts printed with "Atsui, ne" on them.  It is sunny again.  I haven't really seen rain at all since I got to Okinawa until it rained pretty hard night before last after dinner for a short time, so technically I didn't "see" it, but it sounded really nice.  Before the beach, I got my video camera and went out to the road to begin filming my docu-drama about life at Miyagi Minshuku and I just have a real gut feeling it is going to be big at the box office and my husband can retire.  Yes, between that and the "Atsui, ne" t-shirts, we should be pretty set for life.  

I walked out to the street so I could get it right and approach just so.  I walked down the lane trying not to do too many of the dizzying Ken Burnsy effect zooms that I love and adore to do.  I guess that kind of thing is kind of my filmmaking trademark, though, and I shouldn't try to stifle that kind of creativity.  People won't recognize these films as mine without these signature effects.  I'll finish this tomorrow, so come on back now, you hear.  That sounds just like the Okefenokee Swamp ride at Six Flags when I was little.  Maybe I've been in this remote north region too long...
