Day 1281: When Demura Sensei asks, we say "hai"!

Bike, a junk mail collage postcard

I had an e-mail from Demura Sensei 

waiting for me this morning.

 

"Hi Jacki. 

Can you put ad for real Miyagi DVD for sale cost $20 each. 

I have at dojo. Next week. FD"

gaman

I responded:

Yes, of course Sensei, I would be happy to.  

What size poster would you like me to make?

You need it now or by Monday?

I normally go to day class Wednesday, 

but since I played "hooky" Tuesday (see here) and 

accomplished nothing on that big to-do list, 

I knew I had to work today.

. . .

But, I started thinking about Demura Sensei's movie.

If you want to see the film trailer, click here.

(I am in the role of blubbering female.)

After many premiers and film festivals, 

the movie is now finally available on DVD.

I know WonderWoman and I want one.

And so I started work on a poster for the dojo.

. . .

Gathering up my limited resources,

this is what I came up with.

Haven't heard back yet if it's okay.

Hope so, he's my only client who gives push-ups!

. . .

Just got an e-mail reply:

"Thank you. Jackie. 

I'll make poster to hung on dojo.  FD"

Phew!
