1. World Cup and other events This year was full of many events. World Cup, held in South Korea and Jana, was a good example. Seeing Manchester United players in Saitama where I live might be an amazing event (I actually did not see them, though). 2. A film from Steven Soderbergh I watched his films, "The Limey", "Traffic" and "Ocean's Eleven" at my place. Especially the last scene of Traffic was really beautiful like a dream. Soderbergh is a writer specialised for the entertainment area. But his high knowledge of "grammar of films" gives him a new attempt. The type is different, but his artisan spirit reminds me of Hitchcock. 3. Wrote many articles I am a designer but I got many writing offers. I tend to make a rash promise so that I was easily in trouble. 4. Looking after my cats I was too busy to take my cats to a veterinarian. This job gave me a chance to know the veterinarians in my area well. 5. An advance hint to 2003 Recently, I am fed up with web jobs. I think I've got bored with my stance and I feel there was several chances I could break this boredom in the latter half of this year. Getting to know new people and finding new way to step up... I am inwardly expecting to get these chances.
