I daresay this is rather more irregular than some of the other local "events" I've experienced so far. Quite unlike the alcoholic drinks ( Read more... )

I HAVE BOUGHT A KITTEN. SHE IS FEMALE, I AM QUITE SURE OF THAT. I HAVE NAMED HER BILL, BECAUSE IT IS CUSTOMARY TO GIVE PETS A MEMORABLE NAME. IF YOU FIND HER WANDERING AROUND THE ACADEMY CAMPUS, PLEASE DON'T BE ALARMED. SHE IS NO MORE HOMICIDAL THAN THE AVERAGE CAT, EVEN IF THE AVERAGE CAT DOES TEND TO BE RATHER HOMICIDAL ( Read more... )

THERE HAVE BEEN PICTURES WITH WRITING APPEARING AROUND THE TOWN, PROMOTING A TOURNAMENT. I CAN'T SAY I SEE THE POINT IN TOURNAMENTS, ALTHOUGH I DO ATTEND A LOT OF THEM. MY AREA OF EXPERTISE IS REALLY WHAT HAPPENS AFTER FIGHTING TAKES PLACE ( Read more... )

HMM. UNUSUAL, AND NOT LOGICAL IN THE SLIGHTEST. NOT MARKEDLY DIFFERENT TO THE USUAL OCCURENCES IN THIS WORLD, THEN.

HOWEVER, IF SOMEBODY IS ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY I FEEL A SUDDEN COMPULSION TO WRITE WITH COLOURED PENS AND SKIP THROUGH THE TOWN WHISTLING A POPULAR TUNE, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD OBLIGE. ERM. ONCE I AM BACK IN MY CLASSROOM ( Read more... )

I'M EXPECTED TO HAVE STARTED TEACHING LESSONS BY NOW. I DID LOOK AROUND A CLASSROOM IN PREPARATION; I ADMIT THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN IN VERY MANY, BUT I DID NOT FIND ANY POTENTIAL HAZARDS. ITS MAGICAL FIELD IS NO HIGHER THAN THAT OF OUTSIDE, AND GRAVITY ACTS IN THE NORMAL WAY ( Read more... )

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACADEMY AT THE CENTRE OF THE TOWN IS LOOKING FOR NEW STAFF POSITIONS. I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR A SUBJECT I FEEL I AM CAPABLE OF TEACHING. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE STUDENTS ASSIGNED TO ME WILL BE LIKE, SO I SUPPOSE I WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND DO THIS THE CONVENTIONAL WAY ( Read more... )

I CAN'T SAY I PARTICULARLY MINDED THE SPARKLING OBJECTS, EVEN IF THEY WERE UNSEASONAL. THEY KEPT GOOD COMPANY ( Read more... )

ERR. DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME IT SNOWS AROUND HERE? I'VE ONLY EXPERIENCED IT THIS ONCE.

I DO REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A HUMOROUS PHRASE ORIGINATING IN MY WORLD WHICH IS RELEVANT TO YELLOW-COLOURED SNOW, BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO RECALL THE EXACT WORDING. I SUPPOSE IT WILL COME IN TIME.

...THESE THINGS ARE RATHER DISTRACTING, I MUST SAY.[[sparkles on ( Read more... )

THAT WAS... EMBARRASSING, I THINK. TELL ME, IS THERE AN APPROPRIATE PLACE IN THIS TOWN WHERE I WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND ALCOHOLIC DRINKS FOR FREE? I WOULD LIKE TO FORGET THAT IT HAPPENED, AND I'M AFRAID I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT. I MUST HAVE DROPPED MY PENNIES SOMEWHERE.

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SOME CATCHING UP WITH FAMILY. SUSAN HAS NOT CHANGED WITH THE PASSING OF A FEW YEARS, I SEE. AND THE FAMILY SHE WAS DINING WITH WERE QUITE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE ENTIRE AFFAIR ONCE THEY HAD STOPPED SCREAMING. I DO HOPE THAT THE SMALL CHILD OF AMBIGUOUS GENDER DIDN'T BREAK ANY MORE FURNITURE AFTER I LEFT. THAT ONE LOOKED LIKE ( Read more... )
