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!

Van Damme On the Dance floor
Speaking of "Kickboxer", this priceless footage--the cornerstone of Errol's dancefloor prowess--is now posted for the benefit of all six Crepuscular Ray readers. I found this on Bill Simmons' ordinarily sports-related column on the Youtube hall-of-fame. Enjoy!

Morgan and I are going to learn this step for step.
My dearest Jon..
thank you very much for two things.. 1) the belated birthday well-wishings.. and 2)for getting me kicked out of the libary for laughing while watching Van Damme and picturing errol and Matt and my weddings, I seriously had to wipe away tears. You have no idea how right you were!! In my expert estimation that only thing missing would have been, a drunken "Van Damme" asking a member of the weight staff to dance over and over.. until she tried to tell him that she was married, followed by the "Van Damme" eruption of profanity and finger pointing saying that ring was not there before, I made sure to check before I started talking to you!!
Good times.
Ryan
P.S. Errol.. did you ever figure out/remember her name?
Wait, wait, wait! When I heard from Errol about the incident involving him hitting on the waitress after Matt's wedding, he failed to mention (1) an eruption of profanity, and (2) the fact that she was married.
Errol ... ju got sum splainin todo!
It ain't Errol on the dance floor, but it'll do:
Errol performs "The Boxer
(sorry for the audio delay ... I have no idea how to fix it)
~Z :-)
Ah, yes! Beautiful clip, Zach!
It's (1) Classic Errol (2)in the town that I love (3) causing me to wonder
for the millionth time if something's seriously wrong with his brain.
I like how you tagged that as "silly". I'd say that's an understatement.
I still don't think she was married. All I can remember is that it started with a "V".
I too found this video to be totally hilarious! I think that I pee'd a little in my pants.
Matt
