…trying to figure out why there is a side scroll thingie. Hmmm…

The first piece of good news is my friends Ray Vazquez and Shannon Jamieson from NYC are coming to visit in late March! I can’t wait to rock the Osak. Oh, and Shannon, I got your books! Thank you thank you thank you! I’m suddenly very popular around the school these days….

Also, I got a terrific Valentine’s Day package from Michele, and it had all sorts of goodies in it, but the topper was without a doubt not *one*, not *two*, but *THREE* bags of cookies. Sweet, sweet chocolate chip cookies. The other foreign teachers at my school were slavering over the site of homemade cookies. It was like we were in jail, and I had just gotten a carton of cigarettes. I was getting ready to barter cookies for a shiv and bust outta the joint.

While posting, I was rocking out to Need You Tonight by INXS.
