Day 131: Dinner

I have been in love with Chicken Voilà since college. Now Tim is in love with it too.

Day 130: Crochet

Last night was the closest I have come to forgetting to take a photo since I started this project. I was actually getting into bed, ready to watch some Lost episodes with Tim, when I sat up and started chanting, "I have to take a photo! I have to take a photo!" Panicked, I snapped a shot of some of my latest crochet projects sitting on the dresser. Crisis averted.

Day 129: Cones

Beautiful day for a walk.

Day 128: Fan

I can't stand seeing people be rude to store clerks. Particularly when the customer is a cocky, 18-year-old Marine who clearly thinks he's god's gift to humanity, and the clerk is an adorable old Okinawan lady. I always make sure I'm extra nice when I'm the next customer in line after that. Today it paid off when the adorable old Okinawan lady snuck an extra fan into my bag :) Serious warm fuzzies.

Day 127: Tim V

Tim and I spent some time at Araha Beach today, and he felt like showing off his Kindle.

Day 126: Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for this guy.

Day 125: Ocean

I have been in the habit of neglecting my zoom lens lately, so I took it for a walk today.

Day 124: Scarf III

I figured that if I'm planning to give scarves as Christmas gifts, I should probably get started...

Day 123: Champagne

Oh no big deal, just your basic Champagne Monday :)

Day 122: Tree III

Just a pretty tree on my walk today.

Day 121: Sunset V

Crazy sky tonight! It went from orange to pink to night in about 10 minutes. That's our building in the bottom left.

Day 120: Scarf II

Behold, my latest creation! Finishing a crochet project is so satisfying, even if it's not perfect (they never are...).

Day 119: Hydrant

I took my camera with me today on a walk to the shoppette. My mission: to acquire cold medicine for Tim. Apparently Marines do get sick. Don't tell him I said that.

Day 118: Tub

I can't help but see a face in this....

Day 117: Mop

More library time today, and more time to take photos while I waited for Tim to pick me up. I love the gritty look of all the concrete.

Day 116: Phone

After what seemed like weeks of just picking up my camera and photographing whatever was around for my post, this week I promised myself I would go outside and try to take great photos again. This is at least a first step (in other words...out of the BOQ).

Day 115: Dew

See previous post for explanation of unrelenting laziness. I didn't even get up from my prime tv-watching location in the living room to take this shot.

Day 114: Candle

Tim and I are having the laziest weekend ever. So lazy, in fact, that I have almost forgotten to take a photo several times. So here's a candle.

Day 113: Fish

Tim and I went out for sushi again tonight, which led to an impromptu trip to Yogurtland in American Village, which led to an impromptu trip to the Doctor Fish. For ¥500 (about $6), you get to stick your feet into a pool of these fish for 5 minutes. They nibble all the dead skin off of your feet and produce the most maddening tickling sensation. It's incredibly strange and wonderful.

Day 112: Walk II

I got this shot of Tim walking as we were heading to the shop on a junk food run. I love long weekends. Happy Veterans Day.

Day 111: Ball II

Tim and I actually left the ball a little early tonight. It was kind of boring, and we wanted to come home and drink champagne and take pictures.

Day 110: Sunset IV

I can't get enough of this view as the sun is setting. This is just from our window - I can't wait to get a tripod and actually get this shot from the top of the hill outside.

Day 109: Self-Portrait

A strange combination of variables led me to this very vulnerable self-portrait, with no make-up and crazy hair. I woke up feeling brave today, and happy. Also, I've been feeling inspired by Chookooloonks and her discussions of beauty (when will I stop finding new blogs to read?). She's awesome. So, here I am, internets!

Day 108: Memories

My feeble attempt at decorating this place. I printed out some happy memories and paper clipped them up around the apartment. I like being able to look up from the computer and see something that makes me smile.

Day 107: Sushi

Had a great date night with Tim consisting of delicious sushi and a free movie (our prize from the costume contest!). Awesome.

Day 106: Ball

The Marine Corps Ball was actually pretty fun. Dinner wasn't that great, but I actually knew more people than I thought I would and there were good drinks. And I felt pretty. And there was just a little bit of Lady GaGa.

Day 105: Blues

Cinderella Man getting ready for the ball tomorrow.

Day 104: Glamour

This shot was supposed to be my first submission to an online photo forum weekly assignment, "Glamour." I spent so much time today setting up shots and manipulating lighting and finding backdrops, and then choosing and editing photos. When I went to submit - it's closed! I missed the contest by mere hours. Oh well, I'll get in early next week.

Day 103: Wall

Yesterday's weather was no fluke - I was actually wishing for a jacket while I was out today!

Day 102: View

It's gotten a lot cooler here lately - I didn't even have to wait for my lens to un-fog today! That's a first. I love this view from right outside the BOQ on a clear day.
