the jon charity: a public service announcement

so. jon. he's a good dude. he's funny. he's friendly. he and i like to take the piss out of other people, when it's just the two of us. and oh how we laugh.
so jon, like me, is a photographer. a bloody good one too.
jon's aspiring to be a photo journalist. but jon's first got to put together a portfolio. particularly, he's got to include some photo essays.
so jon needs a topic.
let's brainstorm here. something he can work on while he's in japan. any ideas?
(you're buying the sushi tonight, right jon? *wink wink*)

in other matters:
if it's sunny on sunday, who's up for climbing mt. yahiko? i however might be singing a different (not so genki) tune come sunday morning after the festivities saturday night...right kate? if it is warm, maybe the beach is a better idea. though lindsay was there on monday and said that the ocean is already filled chock-a-block with jellyfish. apparently they come early, go away for a couple of months, and then come back in august.

i taught a class the other day in which the japanese teacher referred to me during the entire class as 'jennifer'. and because he's really hyper and somehow this lesson was tied into me and saying my name over and over, it was almost as though the focus of the class was about jennifer. during our meeting before the class where we were discussing the plan, he had called me jennifer a couple of times and i had pointed to my nose and said, in an inquisitive way, 'justine?' and he said eee? and apologized profusely for about 10 minutes. and then we taught the class. please repeat after jennifa sensei. jennifa sensei, do you think...? jennifa sensei, is this...?
good thing i like him.

and i'm going to kobe. hotel booked and everything. yay for kobe.
