Thanks for the comment! I’m getting into cocktails myself, or at least thinking about them, researching recipes online. Almost bought a shaker today, plus a jigger. Need to proceed slowly though, so s.o. doesn’t freak out by the sudden inclusion of more “hardware”!

I’ve noticed the highball places but never really thought about them either. I’ll have to try one next time I’m out.

My personal boom is cocktail drinks. I bought enough types of alcohol to mix up a few different cocktails.. but it’s been so hot that I’m delaying making many in favor of beer… Oh well.

Kevin, you could hardly go wrong with iMovie, which is ¥1700 in the OS X App Store. I actually used FCP for this one, but mainly to teach myself the software — not sure there was much I did that couldn’t have been done in iMovie. By the way, not cheap but sort of minimalist, this video was shot with an iPhone.

Really great. It realy captures the feel and mood. Sellabe.

I have just recently purchased a cheap (10,000 yen) hand held minimalist video camera, and have started looking for cheap or free editing software. Any suggestions for osx?

The last comment is interesting. Elsewhere, I’ve heard editors complain about the increasingly bloated manuscripts that have become standard. No more Flauberts rolling about on the floor sweating and biting the carpet, looking for the perfect word. And regarding photographs, I know for certain over half my iPhoto collection would be thrown out if it were printed.

you’re right jason, i couldn’t be content with just a cellphone pic, but had to gussy it up (it was a cellphone pic, but I did Photoshop it a bit). Anyway, good to hear from you….but no blog anymore?

Geez Kurt, not even the photo of the tofu is ordinary… you gotta get all fancy with the kakkoii label eh?

Best,

Guy, if by local helper you mean one of the Japanese staff/volunteers, I didn’t see that. And truth be told, I can’t verify that the people I did see tossing flags were coaches, but they were officials of some sort with that country’s delegation, I’m pretty sure about that. I think this is what got me….I mean, in the past, this sort of thing was spontaneous, some exuberant fan would thrown down a flag and the athlete would wrap himself/herself in it. These days, there’s no spontaneity at all. (Not helped by press photographers yelling to the athletes to turn the flag the proper orientation!) And no subversiveness as well. I mean, can you imagine what sort of hue and cry there would have been had one of the US relay team members decided he didn’t want the flag cape? Would be interesting to speculate how that would go over in post 9/11 America vis-a-vis the Smith/Carlos action of 1968.
