Frogvasion

Much like the Simpsons episode where frogs decimate the crops of Australia, our humble little home has been over run by hordes of rampaging frogs. Well actually there were only 2... and Yukiko managed to get 1 out. The other one is probably hiding where we least expect it.

Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka?

Poised to attack!!

I was away for the weekend, per usual, and our two little friends smuggled themselves inside our apartment via our watering can. We're quite concerned about the lil' fella that still seems to be somewhere inside.
I had a bit of a stressful week as my first linguistics term paper was due on Sunday evening. I needed to finish typing it out but I had to go to Tokushima for the weekend to do weddings. So I finally got my act together and bought myself a laptop computer. But I figured if I'm going to get a new laptop I might as well get myself a good one as I hear they're not that upgradeable. So I ended up with a nice high end model that is actually more powerful than my desktop.

The little PC that could.

It worked like a charm and I was able to complete my essay while staying at my hotel. Now it's time to get cracking on my next paper :(
I heard from my friends Neil and Rachel in Vancouver that they are expecting a baby, congratulations!! I may finally be called upon to do all that babysitting I promised when I was young & foolish.
More good news, due to midterm exams I have no classes this week and therefore an entire week off! Well technically I have school on Friday, but for cultural experience the students at my school are all going to watch the Tom Cruise movie 'The Last Samurai.' And no, I'm not joking about that. It's a sad sign when a Tom Cruise movie is held up as being a cultural experience. I guess it could have been worse. It could have been that new ninja comedy Ninja Hattori-kun featuring Shingo Katori from SMAP.
