I hope you're feeling better, darling! You're a beautiful, wonderful person and you can get through this. Take some time out for you next week!

P.S. If I got the date wrong, I am sorry.

My Birthday was AWESOME. Thank you for your wishes everyone. I went to Eigamura in Kyoto, which is where they film a lot of the period samurai dramas for TV. Saw a demonstration of how they choreograph the action scenes, a boatload of cosplayers there for a cospa meet of some sort, and a bunch of other cool stuff. It was quite thrilling.

Oh test days. How I dislike sitting at my desk all day with nothing to do at all. Oh well. I discovered this interactive map where you can read and/or listen to historical bits about BC. And I have rediscovered my love of Rick Mercer. You should all go watch the Beard of Bees clip from Oct 7th if you haven't already seen it ( Read more... )

First actual update in like two weeks. What have I been doing? Lots, fortunately and unfortunately. But only because I've been scraping my me time together in fragments again. Not feeling depressed though, only icky because of a cold.

I may or may not be typing my attempt up as keyboard + wrist has not been a good combo lately but we will see if my new (not by choice, thanks to a morning klutzy/coffee incident) USB keyboard works out. There are always notebooks. I am deciding between ( Read more... )

After over a MONTH of communicating with the travel agent and those coming with I have booked my Christmas/New Year's adventure in Bali. Oh thank %$#*&)$%&@*($%)& goodness. The very last two tickets for my return date, and the last 3 for the other's return date. The departure tickets were the final 5, too. Talk about awesomeness in one travel-agent ( Read more... )

I went to the Nagoya Port Aquarium today!! It was exciting. You can get really close to the dolphins in the tanks. And I got to see lots of fish and penguins and a baby beluga and rays and got face-to-face with some funky looking eels. Strangely no seals, sea lions, walrus, or otters. But it was cool anyway. Took lots of pictures but will post them ( Read more... )
