Back at FA, ni ka getsu buri (after 2 months)
19 years ago
minna, hisashi buri na...
(Everyone, it's been a while, ha'n't it...)
Today was a national holiday in Japan, "Culture Day"! Although I enjoy my job in general, this morning had one of those few, welcome moments where I wake up thinking I have to go to work, before remembering it's a day off. I forget how he phrased it, but C.S. Lewis described this feeling at one point in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe...
Today was also a beautiful fall day... while the sun was still out. Normally I'd be walking and exploring outside on a day like this, but... somehow, I hurt my back. 'Probably happened yesterday while rearranging piles of papers, chairs and desks in my classroom. Normally I'm really mindful of lifting with my knees and all that, but must've gotten careless at some point. Didn't even notice until waking up this morning, either --:=/
Since my backlog of unread stuff at FA had already exceeded 500, today represented a good excuse to go through it. Was tempted to fave a lot more pictures than I did, but, well... Ended up being a Subculture Day for me today at any rate --:=)

has been really busy these past few weeks, but has still managed to produce a lot of beautiful work, so please go check that out. Similar story for Fen,
fen4554
who's been having a real rough semester. But, take a look at his page, too!
While things are still a little busier-than-usual at my end at work, the pace has slowed down a bit. I'll need to hit the books for a rather hard Japanese-language correspondence course I'm taking... but when I have free time and creative energy left, I hope to be working on a few writing projects, which I hope to post to FA and other parts of the net before too long. I would say "Watch This Space," but if you are reading this, you most likily already are --:=)

Welcome back!
I s'ppose you're right. Beavis and Butt-head, on the other hand, needed only eye-patches.
Oh, forgot what your name was on irc. If you could note that to me I could find you out there.
