My current favorite super hero movie

Thursday, April 28th, 2016

I’m a big super hero fan. I have been a comic reader and fan for a long time. I especially love the movies being made these days with the great computer graphics (CGI, but usually just called CG here in Japan) and special effects that are possible.

I really loved watching Avatar with all of that great CG, but I prefer movies like Marvel’s Iron Man or Captain America.

I recently saw Ant-Man, another Marvel movie. I really liked it a lot. It’s funny, the story is good (though not particularly new or surprising), the action is really good, the special effects are different from what we’re used to seeing, there’s a bit of a romance and side story, and it was great watching Paul Rudd be the hero in an action film.

Some people think I am not a nice person. I can get angry and have little patience. True.

However, I’m not a person who is angry about nothing or even easily.

If you make a mistake, I may not be happy about it. Things happen. I get that. Really! 😉

I can live with people making mistakes. Even big mistakes. If I think the person is doing their best or just made a mistake because they didn’t know better.

The problem for me comes when things are not right, there are mess ups, mistakes, simply because someone does not take the time, or care enough, to do something right.

If that makes me a bad person, well, okay, I can accept that.

Do your work. Do it the best you can. If it’s wrong and you can fix it, fix it. I respect that even.

If that is not the case, don’t expect me to just accept that. I won’t. I can’t.

Great example of this I found in my mailbox. Someone spent money, resources, and time, and probably planned to reap some benefit from this flyer. Really? You had one job, and this is the result.

I’m putting this next to my son’s junior high school basketball tournament t-shirt from last year that says 2th Annual Tournament in very large letters at the top.

Spring time 2016 is here!

Thursday, April 14th, 2016

Well, it’s that time again, spring, and new classes.

I have had a little time to get out and enjoy the cherry blossoms and other trees and flowers blooming. I live close to a large park where we can walk and see a beautiful lake and trees and grass and flowers.

I’m looking forward to another good semester.

Here’s a photo I took at the park.
