daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
I was listening to a podcast the other day, and the host said something like, “… whatever hobby you might have, whether that is photography, quilting, reading, etc.” And I thought… is reading a hobby? I mean, to me, reading is just something that I like to do. Like watching movies, or listening to music. I wouldn’t consider those hobbies.
Or is it just me?
mesmerizing.
Happy hump-day! To celebrate, here’s a video of a 101-racer Super Mario Kart. It’s pretty great.
It’s been a while since I’ve made a Fuchico photo. Here’s the classic フチ子. For those of you who don’t know, Fuchico or “Fuchico on the cup” is a series of small plastic toys of an office worker named Fuchico who sits on the rims of cups. The one in the photo is the original, but since then, there have been so many different poses, outfits, and spinoffs. It’s cool because these little figurines make the photos a lot of fun! Here’s another one of my favorites that I took.
Recently, my wife showed me this video of SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi trying to recreate some of the Fuchico poses. It’s so funny. Enjoy!
I grew up thinking the word ‘Narrate‘ was actually ‘Narrarate’ and pronounced it with that extra syllable. It only took me about 35 years to figure out I was wrong.
