I just changed the address for somebody who is moving to a street called Dingly Dell. I had a hard time not laughing as I was reading his address back to him.

Before that I had someone moving from some small hick town in Edmonton to some small hick town in BC. He was living on Pickles Crescent. I said “So you’re moving away from Pickles Crescent?”

“That’s right” he replied.

“That must be disappointing”

“No.”

Oh My Leg!

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

This morning I was woken up with an intense pain in my right calf. It was unbearable. It was horrible. It was some kind of cramp from scorned girlfriends past (or maybe future?). I was writhing around in bed hitting my calf with my fist in a vain attempt to beat the pain away. It was difficult to walk in the morning so I called in pain. That’s like calling in sick but different. I’m at work now, a few hours later, and I took advantage of the leg rest time by also getting some everything else rest time.

I can walk okay now but I was too worried to ride my bike, which is sad because it’s a perfect day for it. And I haven’t been getting any exercise in the past 2 weeks because I’ve been too busy drawing. I’ll have to make up for it soon with extra tennis and badminton and drag racing. Oh wait, scratch that last one.

Who’s with me?

Has anyone heard of or seen “Robin’s Big Date” http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0487044/ starring Sam Rockwell as Batman? Clearly, I’m interested.

My last Mandarin class is next week. Yesterday’s class was crazy - I don’t know if it’s from lack of sleep or if the lao shi was going through words and phrases too fast for me to keep up, but I was having a hell of a time following. But nevermind, it’s all written down and I’ve been listening to my language tapes so I’ll be asking for chopsticks in restaurants in no time. Especially Denny’s.

Oh, AND I watched The Thin Man last night and it was great fun! Scratch that from my list.
