It's a rare man who is taken for what he truly is.

Here is the b-day cake I made for my hobbit.
It is the board game of Catan made out of cupcakes!




And just for fun here is my small collection of hannari tofu!

Just thought I'd let everyone know that my cat seems to be bouncing back, thank you for all your kind words.

It looks like my cat Max got into some type of accident and if he doesn't start to feel better in the next few days he is going to be put to sleep. Fuck. This day had some high highs and some very low lows.

I am fed up with over half of the people I am working with on the UWB's literary journal.
I just send out an email to all of them about how they are treating each other and the work that we have reviewed.

Basically this is what I said:

This is just a reminder to all.
 
We should be handling all work with respect regardless of how many submissions one person has submitted. Not only that, but each of these people have take time and thought about what they would give us and it would behoove us all to remember that without their submissions there would be no UWB literary journal.
 
We have had major ups and downs on how we have behaved while picking what work that we said we would allow into the journal. In our first selection meeting it was ridiculous how some people acted, most of the air was cleared by the second week of selections, however the last of respect and outright brutality in the cases of some people was completely out of line.
 
I truly hope that our last selection process is nothing like the previous meetings. I ask that people to not try to toss their weight around. This happen too much last time and made me sick to see how large some egos were growing during the meeting.
  
If you are leading the discussion it does not mean you are the ruler of the land no matter how much you wish you were. Your option is only as valid as anyone else’s no more and no less. If your augment is just as weak as some else it does not mean you are right because you are sitting in front of everyone. Why are we not in a circle anyway? Wasn’t that how we were meant to do this process so as to eliminate any hierarchy and to create a feeling on inclusion for all not exclusion to some?
 
One related thing,
If you ask for material to be posted early and you yourself do not take the time to look at, read, and think about the submissions do not ask me to push up packets. I was not able to turn in work for other classes because of the push up and then to find out that you did not take the time to look at some of the submissions I worked hard to get to you early is a slap in the face.  

I have said my peace,
 -Mika

Maybe I shouldn't have said what I said but by the end of the last meeting I wanted to punch the lights out on one of the people on the journal board.

 It is hard to believe it but it is snowing again here in Bothell.
BLEH!

It looks like we'll be moving by next fall to Bellingham, Washington.
Read: Hobbit got into grad school.

Wow, I've been reading journal entries from my first journal to the end of this one for one of my classes...
All I can really say is things have really changed in my life over the past 7 years.

The gig today rocked!
I couldn't believe how many people made it to the gig!
cleothyla made a crazy awesome alligator cake it was yummy too!!
I finally was able to give Alec that wall scroll of the four Chinese guardians today too!
He and Kore really seemed to like it which made me very happy indeed!
Each of them wanted to put it up their work space :)
I think Alec won though, for now.

That is really it for now, been busy with school and the work but not too busy yet.
I'm really happy that I was able to make it to the gig today.

Made true Irish soba bread (4 cups flour, 1tsb. salt, 1tsb baking soda, 14oz butter milk), corned beef, cabage, potatos. mmmmm Yummy foods.

And now back to homework.... Damn finals on st. patty's day.

o Final Project for Northwest Indian Myths and Tales (Due Monday)
o Final Essay on Sigmund Freud  (Due Wednesday)

That is all that I have, but my god this is going to be intense.

I think it would be that I make kick ass drinks. (sorry kiddies I don't mean alcoholic ones) 
Here is where I work by the way.

I forgot to post images of the cards my hobbit and I made for eachother!

Rusty made me this one:
 

And I made him this one:

I worked until about six an then my hobbit and I just hung out really, he bought dinner and then I cooked it. ^_^ It was nice.
 

            Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought—

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

When I grow up I'd like to be a well known author... 
Well known enough to have Alex write songs about the people and places i've created. 
*cough* that is something i don't think I have told anyone..
Well that cat is out of the bag. Oh well.
