In all seriousness, allow me to extend a belated birthday wish to my now-married pal, Ryan. Congratulations once again, buddy! The big 2-7. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to pop out of your gigantic hollow birthday cake ... hopefully next year!
In other news, I promise to give a substantive update in the next few days, but not now. When Zac visited, I put a lot of important work-related stuff on the back-burner. Now that he's gone, I've been trying to get it back on the front-burner, but it has to share room with all the new front-burner stuff which cannot be placed on the back-burner, and so everything's piling up into quite a combustable situation. In keeping with the stovetop/kitchen allegory, imagine my silly-looking chef's hat catching fire, causing me to rush panicked from the kitchen in order to dunk my head in a toliet.
Yep, it's been a rough couple weeks.
But there's only two more real weeks of class, then two weeks of exams, followed by two months of vacation. Yay!
But now I must depart. I need to prepare a speech for a Japanese class I'm taking. My Japanese teacher is a Buddhist monk (no foolin!), so I don't want to disappoint or I can expect a brutal and ritualistic punsihment involving bamboo canings and coconuts falling on my exposed chest from great heights--ala Kickboxer, if memory serves correct. Until next time (which I hope will be a short time) friends, please accept yet another tentacled/octupus themed picture which practically shrieks THRILLS, CHILLS, & ADVENTURE GALORE!
(repurposed without permission ... heh heh heh.)
