About meMonday Bleargh
New look for this page: I went shopping over at the MT templates page and picked out this “Rusty” style. I might play with color combinations later on, when I have time . . .
But there isn’t too much time for that. The office shelves are getting empty now, and we’re left with just about a month’s worth of newspapers and the dictionaries on our own desks. I have a pile of my own personal books I’ve been meaning to take home, and today I have a backpack to do just that. They look so heavy, though . . . Should I just stick them in a box and ship them to my desk at the new office? Hmm.
I’m not too sure if I’m busy or not. There are some assignments on my desk that have been here for a while but none of them are of the particularly urgent sort. I have to read through this presentation that a police official made at some sort of gathering in Berkeley and decide what it needs (beyond heavy editing to make it real English) to whip it into shape for publication in Japan Echo. So far I’ve come up with things like “an introduction” and “a point.” But perhaps it doesn’t really need one of those after all.
Speaking of our pubs, we just got copies of the very last issue of Japan Review. It’s too bad this one is coming to an end; the JIIA was a good client, most of the time, in terms of letting us do our “professional English output” thing without trying to muck about with our translation and editing choices, and the material itself was often interesting.
Not much to say, really. I need to read this article and I need to clean up my desk and I need to stop posting on this weblog, even though I have at long last brought it back to life and made it sit up and roll over and all those neat tricks. More later.
