War…and visit.
Sorry it’s been so long since the last update. Things have been very busy at the school, and it’s all I can do to heat up some ramen when I get home, before I fall asleep.

World events.

God Clarifies Thou Shalt Not Kill
I am thoroughly disgusted by the actions of my supposed home country. Bush is apparently as megalomaniacal as Kim Jong Il. In one broad stroke, he has forsaken the UN, destabilized the entire geopolitical climate, and increased the danger […]

A new co-worker…and I’m sick.
Last night we had a party for a new teacher who’s starting next week. Shawn, the current teacher, is leaving next Wednesday and Edward will be taking over. He’s a little older (read: 50’s) so it should be interesting seeing how well he fits in with the current crop of spring chickens currently […]

Dio was on a little Honda scooter. Dio has rocked for a long, long time…

I’m a cookin’
On the weekends, I don’t get home at 11pm like I do during the week, so I have more time to do things. This weekend I decided to do some cooking. Really, I did! Yesterday I made a great sweet and sour stir-fry with soy sauce, sake, mirin, and rice vinegar mixed […]
