Coming Into the 90's

I just got my first digital camera...EVER!!! As my co-worker said, "Congratulations! You're coming into the 90's!!!" I'm realizing that I'm a bit behind in the times. Better late than never I suppose. I quickly learned too that you have to upgrade on the memory card it comes with otherwise you can only take 15 or so pictures. Aah...learning. Now I'm really blogger ready.

To the right is a picture of Lucy. I hadn't quite figured out how to use the camera, so I only had about 3 seconds before the last picture would fade out from the viewing screen. Then I didn't know how to pull it back up. Poor Lucy was trying to hurry so she could see her picture. Thankfully, I've now figured out how to view pictures. (She was telling me a story from the book she made. So intriguing. She's got the greatest imagination. It was really sweet.)

Bringing Shame to the Asian Name

Everyone once in awhile I'll come into contact with someone that makes you say to yourself, "Honey...honey...honey! Please stop. You're bringing shame to the Asian name." There's a girl that rides my bus. Well, she's probably in her 20's. She always wears these fleece Mickey Mouse earmuffs. Then she's wear a patterned outfit that doesn't match at all. It's just accentuates the earmuffs. Such a fashion emergency! (I've wanted to take a picture of her on the bus now that I got my digital camera. I haven't figured out how to without having her and everyone else wonder why I'm taking a picture on the bus. Plus, I'm afraid someone that would beat me up would think I was taking a picture of them. I have enough issues with the bus without getting myself killed...any ideas Matt?)

Or every so often I'll run into Asian tourists. You can always tell as they're in groups and they have cameras. Plus, a lot of them have designer wear clothing. I must say many Asians dress in top of the line designer names. My sister gave me a small box of candies that say, "I'm not an Asian tourist." I'm not FOB - fresh off the boat.

In all honesty though I admire anyone that can be themselves and express themselves without any reservations. That is definitely something to respect.
