Update
October 17, 2003
So it’s been awhile.
First an update about Eri’s dad. Yesterday she told me they were going to operate at the end of this month. I’m no oncologist, I’m not even a lowly GP but I’m guessing since they are willing to operate, the tumor is probably benign or at least malignant but in early stages. Eri saw some pictures of the growth and it scared her into quitting smoking. She’s doing much better than I am. Well she smoked way less than I did. I’ll have to admit that I’ve had cigarettes these days. I’m very tired lately and haven’t relaxed nor slept very well – smoking helps. Luckily I’m smoking about 40% of what I used to. It’s a start.
Anyway, things might be looking up! Thanks for all the well wishes everybody.
In other news I’ve succeeded in singing my first Japanese song at the karaoke. What an accomplishment! I’m rather proud although I had cheated by reading Englishized lyric on the internet before so I knew what Japanese to expect.
Last night I had some well deserved and welcomed rest. I did nothing but stay at home, listen to Coast to Coast, eat some convenience store food, and watched some Dragonball Z and MST3k. I also deleted my Palm Desktop and ported everything over to Outlook. I hate Outlook, it’s so user unfriendly. There are so many more buttons and different navigation styles than other Office programs. The reason I switched over was because I was sick of having two different address books. Now, Outlook and my Palm synch and make contact information easier.
I haven’t gone to my Japanese lessons in two weeks. I haven’t had time to study so it would’ve been a moot point to show up and not be able to speak anyway. I’m off today too to help and something tells me I’ll be quite exhausted when I’m back. Still, I want to look back later and say to myself that even though I was exhausted, I helped someone out instead of turning my back (which I may have done in a past life).
And Dennis, I couldn’t find that video clip. Too many porn hits came up and I feared for my sanity if I dared entering one of those links.
