Sorry I’ve been so quiet. Classes are super hard here and I’ve been really really busy. I just wanted to let everybody know that I am still alive and well. Spinny has finally been turned off and placed in the closet. It will remain there until the warm weather comes back in September/October. Right now I am shopping for a space heater which I will lovingly name Toasty, Roasty, FurnaceFace, or if it has a fan Warmy McSpinnagin. Not sure on the name yet. I need to buy and use it first. I’m sure I’ll talk about it here when I get one
One interesting thing that was pointed out to me was that while I tend to name almost everything I own or encounter such as my fan (Spinny), my water boiler (茶), and the possum that keeps eating the plants on my balcony (Barak Obama. Thanks to Lorraine for the name!), I have not named my iphone or ipod. What is worse is that no matter how hard I try I cannot come up with appropriate names. The only name I could think of was Jane, which is a stupid reference to one of the books in the Enders series. Jane is an awful name for a phone! It just doesn’t feel right. For some reason this has really been bothering me. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I’m rambling, which isn’t all that uncommon in the world of blogging, but I’ve tried to keep mine at least somewhat entertaining. I should probably get back to work. I just wanted to say hi *waves to you* and let you know that things are fine. No injuries, no more sunburn, no abnormal body hair, and no giant spiders or wild animal attacks.
Actually the animal thing was close with the possum, and my housemate was bit by a pigeon which I ended up kicking lightly. Not even really kicked. It was more like shoving it with my foot.
Uuuuugh… homework… Hopefully I’ll post something more interesting later!
