Well, as I'm writing this, Mikomi is taking a test which will hopefully get her into school next Monday. And yes, this is the "reely cool" school that allows girls to wear slack in the winter. They're pretty strict about that though. You can only wear them from December 1st until February 28th. And it has to be colder than 30 degrees outside ( Read more... )

Or maybe I should say "our turn" because Mikomi has a part in this. We woke up and went to training today. Gokou was passing out these tapes I guess Kia made of the snow day we had last weekend. Mikomi suggested we grab one for Vezelay too.

Well, after training, she also suggested we drop by her place on our way home and give the tape to Vez. ( Read more... )

Compared with yesterday, today was fantastic actually. I don't know what was in that tea that Vez brought over last night, but it did the trick. I felt a lot of the stress leaving me as I finished it. I was a little worried that Vez left so quickly, I hoped I hadn't given her the wrong impression. I was really grateful that I had someone to ( Read more... )

Well, I should have known the day was going to go like crap when I came into work and was told we had a meeting with marketing right away. Not just a normal meeting, no, this was a very important meeting and we all had to go.

Of course it turned out to be bullsh*t. They were rushing us to finish the product and we had to explain once again that ( Read more... )

...is something I don't have a clue about, to be honest. I just know that life for me lately, has been pretty busy. Between having some problems with my internet service and work being demanding, I haven't really had the time I'd like to update this. Oh well, at least I am now, right?

Wednesday, Vezelay felt she had to make up for the burgers and ( Read more... )

This weekend was good, I have to say. Saturday was the "frolic festival" of snow (Sorry, Father, I couldn't resist.) and Sunday Grandfather came over. We played Chess for a bit. Finished our one game and actually managed to play another. He won both of them. It's pretty apparent that he's very good and I'm very out of practice.

We did some ( Read more... )

Get my daughter and Vezelay together and they do more than just discuss swords, they conspire against me. Yes, I got pelted with snowballs today by the two of them when my back was turned. Of course, revenge is sweet, and I did get them both back.

It was a pretty good day. We had lots of people and two dogs all playing in the snow. Lots of ( Read more... )

Working all night turned out to be a good thing, because I don't have to work today, and with all this snow, I Mikomi's home from school. This gives us a chance to spend a little time together. Although I think she's more interested in training right now than spending time with me. I really should be thinking about making her some lunch soon, ( Read more... )

I was asked today if I'd be willing to work late tonight, because we have a rush job on something. No, not the capsules that we're working on to transport living things. This is an older project, something for the military. But, we've been asked to burn the midnight oil tonight and seeing that I was gone all of last week, and I haven't even ( Read more... )

You know, you could hand Mikomi the moon on a chain right now, and she'd thank you and then tell you about her sword. Trust me, I have heard all about the wonder that is her sword. Several times. How it's a REAL SWORD and not a WOODEN SWORD. How this proves she was right, that Vezelay thinks she's a real warrior, and I've been trying to keep ( Read more... )
