Jen and I are using a new collaborative livejournal while in Japan. I'll likely be hard pressed to maintain this whirlwind pace of regular updates on this account, so if you want to know what I'm up to, you'd best check out

Yesterday I was at the dentist's, having my teeth cleaned. I enrolled in a four-week session at the college's dental school, which gives the students a chance to practice. My teeth are in pretty good shape, brush twice a day & floss, etc., so I imagine it was a nice variation from the little old ladies that make up the bulk of the clientele. This ( Read more... )

Right, so, flushed with victory and with a pile full of dishes that I am eager to put off cleaning, I've decided to gloat a little. Just got back from the UVic asian languages speech contest.

I'm secretly hoping that she'll attempt to make it up to me by purchasing some 90% alcohol in Alberta, if they sell it there. We could use it to make more limoncello or bergamotto or something. Right, so... well, let' ( Read more... )

Well, put a big X through another day - over and done, this one is. Not too awful, in truth. I woke up right in the middle of a cracking dream about soccer, then went to work, putting in another Poruguese system. The second job I did was for a guy who had just got out of the hospital after a successful bout with flesh-eating disease. He was pretty ( Read more... )
