I came home and my mother was chewing me out because she couldn't get online all day . I had told her that since I was using a DSL modem upstairs, All she's have to do to go online downstairs when I was done was plug in the phone line and TURN ON THE DSL MODEM. I had unplugged mine from the phone upstairs, and...

I get free coffee at the coffee shop I used to work with. Well, really it's not free, since part of the secret hookup-contract is that you tip the person comping you, and there's this lady outside that I always feel compelled to give money to.
It's weird, it's been a year since I've had my current job, and 10 months since I quit the...

alright. I just spent a silly amount of time playing with making a brazilian blog. If it works out I'll put the site in my profile for visitantes, but I dunno, I seem to be having issues with actually getting the blog to show up.

oh that's cool...
I was kind-of / not-really fluent in Japanese myself when I lived there.
I've been into buddhism and related for a while too.

yay! thanksgiving family marathon officially over. I just got approved for 8 extra shifts in the month of december, which rocks- I totally thought I'd only get like half of them. this still puts me around 40 hours a week on average for that month. so, not too bad, extra $$ for moving and paying the bills.

I have books in my bed, and all sorts of things. Now I should clear it all off and go to sleep.

yuck too much smoke in the bar/danceclub. Well at least I got to dance. I got to see a bunch of old friends from capoeira that I don't see at class anymore, and haha! in the roda I got a near perfect rasteira off on the teacher. Not the he falls down kind, but the I could have knocked you over if I'd wanted to,...

I think it's always best when the kitties choose you. Bill's one of those guys, he is awesome, thanks.
Now, I think your armband is awesone too. The high tongue looks so lovely, and this is beautifully done. As more of a dwarf myself, I've considered having some runes done in ink, but I'd have to choose carefully what to say. I could find it, there's a challenge.

My collection of Buddhas is growing larger than it's aloted space. Man, when we move I may have to give them their own little table (read:altar) since they are outgrowing their shelf. Sorry, buddhas, I am visualizing giving you a huge, airy home, and all sorts of good things, but for now you must be content with one whole shelf.
Okay, I admit it, the...

Wow! You're pretty sneaky, getting more books in Sad Stuff... Your step-mom conversation reminds me of the step-mom & dad conversation I had earlier...was able to heave my guilt boulder of for this holiday. PS- I wouldn't worry about Buddhas too, too much...just a feeling.

okay thanksgiving, and then christmas.
yuck. Here we go with the mothers side, father side, etc, multiple event holiday marathon. What this means is that I have to spend time with my father.
SO far, no step mother. Now that she dislikes all of his living relatives, it kind of makes it easier to avoid her. she's really

" the best is to have a sort of anti-holiday or holiday alternative party with your friends seprately from all the sturm and drang.
just good food, and hanging out and relaxing.
much calmer."
This is it, you're right. The family stuff never goes away, mutates into those predictable minutes, the time with friends and real loved ones is the time for celebration. I have a solstice party every year for just that reason... leave the trappings of christianity and commercialism behind, and celebrate the return of the light to the sky, growing longer daily.
Something I can believe in.
Good luck with the folks, and the season.

Ugh . . . sorry for the sucky family stress. What is it with families anyway? All of mine live in the same tiny town in Wyoming, and a "big do" is always expected during the holidays. Talk about small town politics and a seething under current of negative emotions. Stari says, "Just stay away." Luckily for me it costs a fortune to fly to WY, so I have been able to avoid the entire circus ever since I fled the state. Wooo!
Hope that something which brings you happiness and gratitude comes your way on the silly holiday. Something just for you, so you can celebrate in your own way. *stari wishing there was a "hugs" icon*

ive never had coffe at willoghbys (sp???) but its right down the street from my work, maybe i'll check it out. ive gotten so addicted to green tea from koffee i had to order a pound from the distributor. im drinking it now. ah, warm beverages in the cold of winter...
I still stand in awe of your language skills. Wowie with extra wow! I sort of studied french for three years and I suck. I keep thinking that I should really learn a second lauguage, but I just can't seem to come to any sort of decision about which one it would be. Arrrrrghhh! Curse my indecisiveness! You are pretty amazing for a dilletante.
Capoeira sounds very neat. Your mentions got me out on the web learning more. I really like the idea of combining elements of dance with martial arts. I wonder if there are any instructors here in PDX? I will have to investigate further.
Hope that yer mommie was properly humble. Tee hee! Poor mommie. At least your's uses a computer. I can't even get my mommie to write me email.
Late afternoon wishes for a pleasant and most mellow Sunday evening . . . it is all grey clouds and samba music here on the pacific coast. *smiles*with extra smiles*
