Well.

Hippo birdies, etc.

I love you ladies and you gentlemen quite a bit, I hope you know. You know who you are.

I'm divisible by a multitude of lovely numbers again. Though it was nice being prime.

My seventh- and ninth- graders in Absolute Favorite Backwoods Middle School gave me cards. And I made mochi-based leaf-wrapped steamed treats with my eighths and a contigent from the local old folks' home.

Plus, chocolate cake for lunch.


~*~*~*~*~*~ETA~*~*~*~*~ i do this transition because too lazy/tipsy to remember how to sparkletext.

ATSUKO MADE ME GINGERBREAD CAKE ;A; oh god life is so good

also the pub gave us a round of free drinks, local specialty, 山桃 (mountain peach?) booze? I am told they are not really peaches. IT WAS REALLY DELICIOUS and kinda strong and went very well with beef skewers and squid tempura and local specialty of deep-fried cheese, not even kidding. Hell YES it was the right idea to go out tonight!!

I gotta. Clear off some of the stupid stuff on my studio wall so I can put up ADORABLE BIRTHDAY CARDS omg. ♥
