Well, I could ask you to translate scurrilous limericks into Dutch and Japanese, but that would just be for my amusement.

Ain't that the truth.

Of course, my last houseguests included my brother's girlfriend...who happens to be one of my least favorite people on the planet. Very, very glad to see the back of her...

I like having guests, but I'm the kind of person who usually says: make yourself at home, and mean it.

I could of course translate some of the love-poems I had to translate today for you
Japanese classical poems on love... you'll love that...
But shoot. I miss teaching languages, so if there is anything you want to know or learn (that I can teach) go ahead!

No.

But I wrote you a limerick.

There once was a sheltered young mooter
Who spent all her time on computer
The strain on her wrist
Gave her postings a twist
That earned her a lithified suitor.

(What does lithified mean? My dictionary doesn't know the word and my spellingcheck says it is spelled wrong, but does not have an alternative...)

One of the privleges of doggerel. The rules of limericks involve breaking standard grammatical rules.

"Lith" as in Lithography, monolith, means stone. So "Lithified" would be "made into stone." It's also a Dutch town, so I awarded myself a bonus point.

Some days is like that. It'll slow down when people start taking their paper writing seriously, again.

HATE that rule!

Somehow I feel oddly ... like I am starting to hear my thesis screaming for attention again. Darn! Just when I thought I drowned that out...

Clinic. School health center. Doesn't your Google finger work?

We have not much of a health care system in this country, but a lot of Dentists will work on that kind of thing. No teaching hospitals?

Yeah, I have two essays and three exams left this term, then my master's thesis to start after that. So I should be working.

But I don't want to right now.
