This weekend was supposed to be great; me myself and I, relaxing no people just time to write and talk online, cook a little, maybe bake a little, post some letters and potter with my plants…so much for that. I should’ve known on Friday that this weekend was just destined to be shitty. On Friday … Read More
I don’t like it. Well to be more acurate, I don’t like SG-1. I had this gut reaction to the episodes that I saw before leaving Britain but was unable to accurate defend this reaction. I don’t like that. So every evening (more or less) I have sat down in front of the TV and … Read More
It has gotten markedly easier for my elementary pupils to win stickers as of today. I have an introduction to The United Kingdom (which is really four countries: pause for gasps and cries of `honto?`) which I have now done for over four hundred pupils; only five hundred more to go, this is taking so … Read More
I sometimes wonder about how I personally define real. Skimble and I went to watch bunraku today which is traditional Japanese puppetry. The sets are elaborate and the puppets are about a third the size of real life. In fact all the puppets are are maskand wig with clothing and hands. There was an explanation/demonstration … Read More

I spent the morning swimming and cycling; the countryside was beautiful, the last of the farmers are cutting … Read More
I feel completely and utterly ashamed of myself. I have no musical taste whatsoever, this is a standard fact that is bandied about my various circles of friends. I would like to take this opportunity to again point out that I did not buy that damn S Club 7 albulm it was a freebie from … Read More
Watching Battle Royale after having taught in Japan and also with people who are teaching in Middle School in Japan is a very different experience. Suddenly a whole lot about the movie makes more sense; the announcement music is familiar and everyone can do the excercises. I just can’t figure out what the teacher and … Read More
” I squeal really prettily when I’m spanked” …no not me! (Although if you asked some people…) That was Skimble the other day we had some great conversation about her having a lucky arse…and I thought mine was good! 🙂 Yeah. So Skimble and I spent yesterday plotting for Nesuphyn’s birthday. We are currently dressed … Read More
