Birthday Pottery

My birthday was about a month ago. I turned 37 years old. Sevens always make numbers look bigger, or more significant, or something. I dunno. Anyway, I don't really feel much different, though.

Chiho took the day off work and we went to Nara City. She surprised me by taking me to a pottery shop, where the owner taught us to make clay coil pots and cups. We talked with him for awhile, and then he took our picture and put it on his blog. Really fun and cool!

Afterward, we went to MosBurger for dinner, and then we went to see Eagle Eye. Not very good, but the violence looked very realistic. Eh.

I also picked up a "sound drop keychain" with the 1UP sound from Super Mario Bros. - It has since become my possession most coveted by my friends. It's the green one in the picture:
