Matsuri a Festival of Japan

The 26th annual Arizona Matsuri is this weekend, February 27th & 28th. The festival is from 10:30 am - 5 pm both days. There are many vendors of food, crafts, travel, etc. Also, several stages with performers and since it is at the Heritage and Science Park which is right by the ASU's Downtown Phoenix Campus, there is also an ASU stage.

I went there yesterday, and if time permits I'll go there again today.  There was a parade on Saturday at 10 am, but I did not make it in time for it.

Many people dressed up in Anime costumes. There was also a group who among them had one dressed up as the Joker and another as Harley Quinn. So, feel free to dress up in your best Anime character.

feeling better...

just a quick note to say feeling better now, still have a little cough... haven't focused on adding updates. was being sick a reason or an excuse ? don't know... just need a kick start... this is so short i could have tweeted it... here's to better days... :)

A place I like

I still have this minor cold that is not letting me think clearly to write about what I wanted so this time just a photo of a place I visited once that I really like. I should take a trip up there again. It's been too long..

re-blog

Before blogger I was at the now extinct yahoo 360... so I am thinking of re-blogging or more like adding those older blog posts here somehow. I enjoy reading my old posts, they crack me up sometimes... wonder if I can put a way older post dates here on blogger, so they stay true to when I originally posted them... hmmm... and before the myspace, blogger, facebook, etc. I had a geocities, didnt update it much but from time to time added stuff... I think eventually I want to to have just my own website... hmmm....

I have been a bit sick these past couple of days, although still managing to go to work. I do like my job. A minor cold, but each day is a different symptom. I never get colds with all symptoms at once. One day it will be aches, the next fever, then sore throat, etc. I guess I'm lucky it doesn't hit me full blown. I think Monday I should have stayed home if not left early, but I do like my job. Enough that I prefer to work than go home. Weird never had that for a job before. I do wish I'd get paid more, but doesn't everybody... hmmm...

Well that's why this post is posting today with yesterdays date, the cold part was not to be here just the blogging part... no photo.. really need to take photos.. Maybe I should take photos of everyday things... hmmm...

Just a photo

Just a photo...
