Well miss Rose, I know you are up later than you usually are because you usually clock out soon after I clock in…
ugh is late again, I am gonna have to give her some more demerits!!
Time for me to get on the road, I will be back in about 30 min.
If you aren’t here anymore when I get back, then have a good night… if you are, see you then!!

I teach here, and I can get a pretty nice job. I lived here way back for about three years in my early twenties, and I’ve used Japanese for work in Australia, though I am not fluent, so it’s a pretty easy place for me to live.
Whenever I go home for an extended period I feel as if I will never leave again. More a feeling of being trapped rather than contentment, though I also love Perth. They say Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world (though I don’t really know what they are comparing that against), but they are probably right.
I’ve never really had pets introduced to each other at different stages of their lives get on, so good luck with that.

Yes, I happened to see you had buckwheat, right?
Big Sis Crack Kitty has been trying to kill the little one… I hope it doesn’t keep up, otherwise I will have to get rid of the little one cause I can’t be an umpire forever!!
Little one went in the litter box this morning, I was so proud!!
Now just to get her to go in there without me placing her in there!
A couple years?? Wow, that’s a long time, why exactly are you there again? (stoner… but you knew that!)

Comment #46398
I’ve got a couple of years. I don’t think it’s indefinite, but I don’t know. It’s getting pretty expensive to live in Australia.
Is big Sis Crack Kitty accepting the little one any more?
Just read Claw’s comment - it was a good one (the *baset* hound one).
Did you read back? I ate a weird flavour for you yesterday
May 2, 2008 at 9:14 am
Comment #46397
Baby crack kitty is attacking my feet currently.
Thanks for the menu, that way I know what I want to order whenever I might happen to end up in Japan!
At least it’s not weird flavors, cause that might ruin ice cream for me altogether!
How long are you gonna be over there, or is it an indefinite thing?
May 2, 2008 at 9:10 am
Comment #46396
I haven’t read Claw, yet. I’ll have to pop over.
Here are 27 flavours! I had to edit some out of the photo - and I wrote on just a few of the flavours. If you squint close enough, you can see the descriptions below.
Fairly standard.
How’s baby crack kitty going?

Something for meeee???
I feel sooooo special!!
Anyone up to anything fun? I’m just sitting here waiting for the time to head out to one more fun day at work!
Wow, each time I think Claw has done the best he can do, he outdoes himself… his rant about his suicidal dogs still has me ROFLMAO

I’m working on something for you, Mishee.
See you Wade, hon - so, seriously, would pin collectors be interested in such a thing for when you come back?
Keep those home fires from burning…

That photo is stunning, Amy. Thanks so much!!
Wade - the cure for the hand is to not be on here right now, and to not use the mouse for surfing and scrolling, really. Getting a proper desk, chair, etc. - but they are the kinds of things you need to get rid of at the end of a contract - and they take up space.
I have a Swatch pin from the Sydney Olympics, I think, that they gave us when I was working in the duty free. I guess someone somewhere would like to collect that.

Comment #46387
yeah, sorry rose
it’s the pin handed out by cities that are trying to get the olympics. usually has an early attempt at a logo. it is really pretty. if i get ambitious i will take a stab at macrophotography and post a pic.
how are the hands today?

Later,when your far enough away from their nest: Ha! I was just acting !
I have to get ready for work now, but before I go, a rose for rose
May 2, 2008 at 8:13 am
Comment #46385
Even though there is not much backreading there is enough backreading to make it a bit much (the whirling dervish of sentence construction).
I was going to say ‘what does bid pin mean?’ - but logically I guess it’s from when they were bidding for the Olympics.
Like I said yesterday, they recently got a bit of flak for refusing to have the torch, but good on ‘em says I. It had a nicer feel to the Nikko temple.
I bought some yummy pickles (including mushrooms), and I ate a buckwheat icecream just for Mishee. Couldn’t bring myself to try the miso icecream. They are novelty items in the area - just tastes like a normal soft cream, really, with a hint of the other taste.

i have a bid pin from nagano. traded for it at the ‘96 olympics in atlanta.

bye ((((( ♥ glo ♥ )))))
hope your work day is both swift and pleasant
hey rose ♥ how was today?
amy, my favorite nest protection strategy belongs to the killdeer… when they wander around pretending to have a broken wing and lure the predator away from their nest.
May 2, 2008 at 7:53 am
Comment #46382
Damn ‘glo! Well I’ll be waiting on your blog (*mental note - check now*)
Show for dough, Ames - only way to go.
Went to a temple in Nagano today. One year it is run by an abottess the other year by a monk. Very interesting, as most major religions traditionally do not have such an influential female element.
Took some pics - they’ll be up later. I should have stayed the night… but, oh well.

Currant Scones, Cherry Coffee Cake, Poppyseed Bread and Roasted Apples, along with fresh fruit, cereal, juice, coffee, etc. Oh, and fresh begals.
Time for me to sign off, alas, just as rose appears.

I know, Wade. Mockingbirds love to swoop on anything anyway.
What are you baking today, Glo?
May 2, 2008 at 7:36 am
Comment #46376
It’s usually busier once school is out. Fall and pre-Christmas are typically the busiest time of year. We definitely do not have the occupancy we had pre-9/11. Part of that, I think, is fewer business travellers due to less business travel in general due to technology like teleconferencing, fewer businesses in our immediate vicinity, and several newer chain hotels built nearby close to the freeway. We are also seeing fewer tourists as well, not sure of the underlying reasons behind that. Lesser Podunk is certainly less of a Tourist Trap than it used to be ten years ago.
And Wade, don’t underestimate me. I am a woman of many talents.

*marvels at glo’s ability to hug and bake simultaneously*
is it normal for it to be slow this time of year, glo? do things ramp up in the summertime?
i think the most aggressively protective momma birds i have encountered are mockingbirds, amy. they will go after you with beaks of fury.

Comment #46373
Not this time, Glo. The day before, I was trying to get a good ce-up of her and was standing in the same spot. She and the father landed on the branch chittering a me and moving their wings as fast as a hummingbird (or so it seemed to me).

*squeezes wade with renewed vigor*
I’m baking. Since I did not work yesterday, I don’t have a lot to do because yesterday’s baker is a lot more into pre-planning than me and already has the fruit cut up, etc. for me. Plus, only 15 people today, very slow.
Did she say “chickadee-dee-dee” at you, amy? I have heard the more dees at the end of that call, the greater the perceived threat.
May 2, 2008 at 7:14 am

just be glad she didn’t flit over and peck your camera lens

Wel, I was standing very close to her babies, Glo. She had to give me the eyeball, make sure I was okay.

too late, glo. that toasted begal was, well, you know
speaking of toasting, are you baking or hosting this morning?
May 2, 2008 at 7:04 am
Comment #46368
Hi amy! I love chickadees. I like how you caught her (?) with her head tilted like that.
Wade, please don’t toast the begals. You don’t have to bring them to the mall and leave them locked in the car! Let your begal stay home and be cool!
*reluctantly lets go of wade’s knees as he stopped hugging her half an hour ago*

Maybe, Wade. I’m thinking of going to Magnolia Mounds Plantation (I have free tickets) and the Planetarium.

Comment #46357
I won’t comment on the main thread, due to the fact that I am a crazy animal lover. I have not yet broken out the windows of anyone’s car, but I have numerous times chased down mall security about dogs locked in cars, who generally then go and have the owners paged. I like to stick around and glare disapprovingly at the offending owners when they finally come out to their car. I’m way to P/A to actually say anything, though. I leave that to the shop cops. It has never taken less than 10 minutes before the owner has come back, and who knows how long the dog was in the car before I saw it?

“Ode To Claw”
How do I love thee,
Let me count the ways,
Your racist/sexist/heightest/weightest/anything else-ist rants light up my day,
Your sarcastic sense of humor, which angers many a newbie,
Your long ass comments that sometimes have nothing to do with the topic, but crack me up more than anything else posted at the time,
and finally,
The porn story you wrote in regards to The Office of Water thread…
for that I will be eternally grateful…
