Working in the Future
Glad you asked. teamEggers is… working.
Mrs. teamEggers is rather grumpy about said arrangements, but I think she’s handling it rather gracefully. After all, actually working 6pm-7am, 7 days a week, sucks significantly more for Mr. teamEggers.
But you don’t see him complaining about it.
You may be wondering what *I’m* doing in my now jon-less time. I haven’t been terribly inspired to conquer new territories alone, so I spend my nights quietly. Having exhausted my supply of Murakami books, I’ve taken to reading trashy novels and drinking wine at the Spanish bar we recently found.
I’m also working on a coffee table book with the photos from our trip. I expect it to be around 100 pages long – 11×13.
Rereading all of our blog posts from the past four months has been really interesting. I look back at the posts from January and can honestly say I’ve learned some things about this crazy country. I no longer leave the house in well-disguised-terror and I can accurately tell the difference between a shrine and a temple.
My goal is to finish the book before May and send it off to print a week before we leave. I would really love it if we had it right away to show everyone when we got back.
In 1999 we were still developing film and showing off our photo albums. In 2009 we’re actually publishing books with the help of software like iPhoto, WordbPress, and Blurb. I love the future.

M- Love the idea of a coffee table book. I have so many favorite pictures. One that comes to mind is what I call blue boat in Yokosuka.
Too many favs to mention here.
And with all that time on your hands think of what we could have done
Does John have to work this schedule for the remainder of the trip? Yuk!
So I missed a bunch of postes but I did check out the ones in the most recent section on the right from “working in the future” to Baseu-Baru. How do I get further back?????
Auntie C.
Hey! I’ve been thinking about you a bit lately! I’m hoping we can get together sometime this summer – any olalla plans yet?
Huh. the “older posts” link isn’t working! DOH! I’ll work on fixing that!! In the mean time, you could check the calendar on the right side >>>>
The dates in bold have posts on them.
Here’s a link to all of the posts in March. http://teameggers.com/archives/date/2009/03
I LOVE the boat picture too! It was my desktop-image for a while! Thanks for the compliment!
I miss you guys. Would love to see you this summer also!! No plans as of yet. I’m sure we will be there at least once or twice before the year is over.
…please translate DOH???
Cool…the calendar will work for now.
Besides blue boats, of course I love the chai photo, the coffee cup, liitle cafe with two chairs and a blackboard, the doors are also great and that turqoise Korean place. Some of your temples(?) are awesome too! Gold maybe?????? Another fav is this white girl on a purple genie
…and the same white girl with the google eyes mimiking the cartoonish character above her! Oh and the night shots of Yokohama.
hahaha.
doh. like Doh! like homer simpson?
yes! doh!
man, i wish those night shots were higher quality. I’d like to have one printed, but I’m really weary of it because if you zoom in to 100%, thye get really grainy. I’m not so skilled with the night-shots yet.
oh! we just got our g9 back from Canon! It was fixed under warranty! hurray!!
