Damn you,

junsiew! The truffles you gave me are too delicious! ;p I haven't eaten all seven of them, though, so that's probably a good sign.

Anyway, I got an e-mail today from a male NJ who is looking for a conversation partner. I'm jazzed about that, but also weirded out, because I've never had a conversation partner before, and I have no idea how it's going to work. I'm probably far too mystified by and worried about it. Still, any Japanese practice is good, especially since my speaking and listening skills are getting pretty awful, as of late.

I picked up my print at Kinko's today, and it's actually looking pretty good, I think. I hope this turns out as nice as I envisioned, even if probably I can't afford a frame for it. It's 30x7 inches, so it's a non-standard frame size, and the guy at the frame shop gave me some exorbitant price as a bottom-of-the-line, starting figure. I may scout out more frame shops tomorrow to see if I can do better, but I don't know how that will go. I wonder if I could make my own?

I also went to the Rec and did some lifting, *and* some wushu. My lifting session was good--I've kept active enough to not lose much ground in strength training. I'm already starting to lose some of the flexibility I gained through wushu, though, which is annoying. But, if I stick to it, it'll come back before January. I'm still bummed at the lack of practices over the break, though. Apparently I'm the only weirdo who hangs around Eugene for this long after finals. ;p

Naruto 63 is out! It's not the ANBU-AonE release, but I'm downloading it anyway. :D

I felt like posting right now, for some reason, but I should really get on the knitting--I made a lot of progress yesterday, but there's still a ways to go, yet. I'll probably hop on the computer again later for some late-night scripting or graphics work.
