Well, the good news is I won't be without internet for nearly a month waiting for AT&T to install uverse - I'm going with direct tv instead. Yay! I will have BBC America! Well, the tv is direct tv. They have an agreement with at&t for internet, but through direct TV, I can get the internet installed on Friday. Instead of three weeks from now. O.o
I don't know why it works that way. But whatever.

I am home. I love you Canada.
car troubles; not the battery; won't jump; been f+#%ing around with it for the last while.......see you guys later tomorrow maybe.
AND both my older kids need glasses.
What a f+#!ed up day. I'm just so f+~#ing tired of getting hammered over and over again.
We need zanyness to cheer up FAWTLY. But I don't think I have it in me. :(Don't look at me. I'm bare here these days. Too much grooming... :(
Overgrooming can lead to baldness. Don't fret, your feathers will grow back. You'll likely grow feathers in your ears though.
<----total culture shock
Free flowing traffic? wtf?
People driving safely. Using signal lights. Whoa.
The streets seem empty. The grovery store isles are like HUGE. You don't have to push people out of the way to get what you want! It's amazing.
Why the f+#! did I ever leave?
After seeing armed guards everywhere for 4 months (we had two checkpoints to get into out condo in Manila)...
After seeing cops everywhere daily in China.
I didn't see a single cop yesterday in Vancouver.
Just f#@!ing slabbergastered.

** spoiler omitted **Wow. That is rough.
Taig, you took the words right out of my mouth. Mairkurion, thank you for sharing this with me. It lets me know I'm not alone.
Finally slept about seven hours last night. Its time shower, breakfast, and another visit to ICU. They brought him out of his thaw last night so I want to see how he's doing.
Day 2 after a short staycation. Got caught up on my dbase work yesterday. Found a new glitch in the new software today that stops my preparation for a 9/1 abandonment of the old system. I'm dead in the water until someone fixes this. Argh!

Also, don't forget: Everyone understands you when you speak to yourself in English.
I got in the very bad habit of externalizing my internal monologue after two years in Japan, since nobody could understand me...then I got back to the States...
Taking the people on my caseload to eat at Nathans on coney Island today! Non brooklynites, eat your heart out!

Happy 90th Birthday grandma! Staying awake for 29 hours so I could attend the festivities did get a bit tired (ha!) by the end, but here's hoping you do get to live long enough to see your 103rd like you always say you will.
And with that said, tea, then bed!
Goodnight Ougadougo!

Wait a minute! You're here in Philly?!?Taking the people on my caseload to eat at Nathans on coney Island today! Non brooklynites, eat your heart out!One day you'll have to come down to Philly so we can debate on whether Pat's or Geno's has best cheesesteak.
*sigh*
Been through this. I live up in Allentown, work in Cherry Hill. And yes, one Friday we're going to go get a beer. ;)
today is a sad, sad day here in germany
our greatest and most beloved comedian: Loriot passed away at the age of 87.
He was the master of fine, observing everyday-humour, the master of sharp political (but always neutral) sketches, the master of funny cartoons, of ridiculous costumes, silly slapstick, intelligent social commenary.....
shortly said the best
his importance for german humour can only be compared to Motny Python.
I don't think he translates good to english but here are examples of his work:
Grocery Shopping
Airport security
Fire fighting

I will have to watch when I get home.
