and The Graveyard of Discourse

The World. It Likes Irony.

So, I tutor at the ELI (English Language Institute). Every semester, I get between 1-5 students to work with one-on-one. They're usually from Korea, and usually girls (although I had one Korean guy last spring).

So, I get my roster for this semester, and it's just one person. A guy. From Japan. Whose name is Toshiro.

Somebody out there is having a good laugh right now. (For those of you who don;t get it, look at my pen name, please).

Boredom Doth Strange Things

Sunday afternoon: done with homework.

Time to do something, but what?

I made a pillow! My first quilt!

A Weighty Issue

In November, i was feeling horrible. At 195 pounds, I was the heaviest I'd ever been in my life. I was excersizing and eating decently well, but my body was so used to my routine that it just... blahed.

So I decided it was time to Do. Summin' Bout. It.

I upped my exercise routine, went on Weight Watchers, and joined Kendo.

It's now Feb 21, and I've lost 17.5 pounds. I've still got more to go, but I thought I might take a minute to gloat in my little victory.

Here's a pic in some new clothes I had to buy, I'm a MEDIUM now!

Yes, that is Tennant on my shirt (and a Jack Harkness figurine on my nightstand, my webcam's rez is horrible).

NY ComicCon

TC, please don't kill me... please don't kill me...

NY ComicCon photos!

I'm Back! (Doctor Who/ TW news, too!

GO! check my flickr page, as there be some mad updates there. Still have jet lag, though. Uch.

I leave tomorrow for the NY Comic Con. Colin Baker and some members of the cast of Torchwood will be there. I'm gonna see how much crap I can get autographed. Too bad Barrowman isn't going, but, oh well.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU TC. YOU WANT SOMETHING SIGNED, YOU LET ME KNOW PRONTO.
