Field of Daize’s

The kindness from others will never sieze to amaze me. On Friday, Victoria (one of the Aurthur Murray crowd) gave me the coolest presents ever. Well, it makes more sense if you kinda where at the conversation we had the day before (where under my hobbies, I listed “long walks on the beach”). So… it turns out, she bought me a Toltec book (cos I’m a spic ho), a little cartooning kit (cos I’m the comic king of the universe), and a pedometer (to count the steps on those walks on the beach)!

As a curious aside, I “walked”2.4 miles while at work today. I consequently burned off close to 200 calories. Interesting stuff!

I also got the sweetest (literally… a box of choccies) present from one of the students. Man… I’m never going to get over how groovy people are.

On the subjects of presents though, the official “awesome person of the week” award goes to none other than the evil Sal, who made her presence felt through the mail. Two packages… .one with a Zoolander DVD, and another with a stuffed Epstein-Barr virus! I cannot overemphasise just how cool it is to get a virus through the mail. And the kissing one, none the less! Much joy.. much joy indeed.

Things are going well around here. My parents are over from France, and the usual wonderful chaotic behaviours are in the air. It is nice to have them around for my birthday…. it turns out that we haven’t done THAT in the last 7 years. Life is good.
