schluss damit

Been back home for the past few days. Fun with funerals. Not one, but two. Deeply depressing events, but then what would one expect?

Ah well.

Had a little bonfire yesterday. Set fire to old journals mentioned earlier. So now they're gone. Was an impulse thing, felt very much like doing it there and then, so did it. A moment's pause and they'd still be here. Seemed somehow appropriate... dunno. Endings, new beginnings... something wanky like that.

The girls had painted their mum's coffin with loads of flowers. Something Van-Gogh-esque about it. Very impressive anyway.

Back up north Thursday.

Things are slipping out of my control.

Gah.

Trying to replace something I have lost.

Foolish.

Rhythm stick

Taking up kendo.

Which is completely hysterical. Had to got watch a training session last
night before the course proper begins next monday. After some fairly
intense warm-up, the students have to take turns pretending to hit
eachother on their (unprotected) heads. The hit-ee has to lock eye
contact with the hitter despite the fact that the hitter is screaming
"MEN" into their face. What fun.

If I see it through, which I sincerely hope I do as the course is
slightleee expensive what with having to buy swords and bamboo hitting
sticks and jedi robes and things, I am going to be Mr Fit McFit. Lots of
repetetive movements and one armed waving of shinai. Also, painful
looking squat-rise-strike-squat proceedure.

Anyway, it'll be grand.

What else?

Lots of reading. I know now a lot more than I used to about the human
Vomeronasal Organ (or lack thereof) than I used to.

This blog is getting really, really boring.

Jesus. I'm going to have to do some things worth reporting.

My supervisor has asked me if I want to go to Australia.

My job's great.
