タlけdと手ぇあrtて阿智ぇr亜棒t... dang it. Okay start over. Hate it when that key gets pressed. Talked to my art teacher today about the "student work exchange program". Maybe small paper works would be doable. He's gonna talk to a couple of art teachers in Osaka and see what they think. He gave me my own set of oils today, too! Man, haven't held a brush in my hand for so long. Got some other sketches if you wanna see 'em, but I haven't put them up yet. Mochi tsukue tomorrow, if I'm not sick. Been trying to be sick all week and now that the weekend is here, I'm sure I'll be konked. I can feel those bastards sneaking up on me... they won't get me without a fight though. My immune system is like the VC, man! Hiding in the rat tunnels of my body, eating rice. While that cold is waiting for it's next mission, like Martin Sheen. Don't get out of the boat, cold bugs! Absolutely goddamn right. Anyways. Planning a trip to Cambodia and S. Thailand. You know, where they have all that avian flu and political unrest? Figured less tourists would be there. Plus I like to freak my mom out. (Hi, mom!) Planning to go in March, when we get a big long break.
Dog issues. Princess Kino (my dog) is going to new digs soon. I would like to publicly and profusely thank Greg and Ani for giving her such good care these past months. It means so much to me. And I promise to pay for the screen door and the vet bill. And, mom, I love you! You rule the school! Moms rule, everybody! Thanks for taking Kino fer a bit before she goes to Stacey. And for driving out to get her. And Stacey, you are also a ruler of a learning institution, perhaps two. Thanks fer taking el dogo next!

Lookit all these people I depend on! And more besides. I feel so selfish.
