ambience

As of today you can’t describe ambient noise or recount the ambience of your recent dinner date in my comments, because my blacklist will nail you as one of the annoying-as-fuck spammers that keeps trying to sell the prescription drug Amb*en 1000 times a day on my blog. Take that goddamn spammers! I need a different plan of attack, this blacklist thing isn’t working well.

Ambient mood lighting aside, it’s Tuesday and I’m back at work. Last week was the famous Golden Week, an entire week off which I spent rafting and canyoning in Shikoku, followed by hibernating (vernating?) in front of the second downloaded season of Lost. Good show, by the way, despite its obviously republican Bible-consulting writers.

Anyway, Monday classes made me want to jump out the third floor window for something to do (let’s recite verbs from the textbook together! “He….went-o….shoppingu….”"ximena sensei is the ing-verb correct?” “yep”"I….am-u….lookingu”"ximena sensei is the ing-verb right?”"you betcha”) so we’re trying for a better Tuesday.

In other news, I haven’t complained of the cold in over two weeks, and today it’s actually a bit hot. Summer is around the corner, time to get out the old ats’! As in atsui, nee, as in “damn it sure is hot in here.”

In sports, the Lakers were tossed out of the NBA playoffs, after losing depressingly to the Phoenix Suns in a tie-breaking game 7. Too bad for the Lakers, but Steve Nash is a much cooler guy anyway.

Lest anyone who knows me panic at the sight of sports news featured on my blog and justifiably fear that I’ve gone daft, well, what can I say? The laptop that houses season two of Lost was taken over by the NBA. I had no choice but to become interested in basketball and learn the names of the players and choose a team based on character analysis of both sides and schedule the rest of my week around finding out what happens to them. Nothing else to be done about it.

    Wait, choosing a team based on the players, rather than tenuous geographic/scholastic affiliation? Unamerican! I think. Maybe. Actually I have no idea.

    Also, wrt spam: Akismet.

    Thanks, I’ll give that a gander.
