Long way to go

Mon, 7 November 2005

Correction: Thanks, Paul. I obviously can't spell "scarf". (T_T)I've been busy as usual. I sold my soul to the corporate devil long time ago. I finished delivering bad news to people who have to go by the end of this year. I tried to make it as less shocking as possible but it's bad news however you say it. I shouldn't have but I suggested them to call some of the job agencies I know of..... Anyway, let's just hope I won't get stabbed out of nowhere... Better yet, it's really not great to stay at this company anymore as there will be tons of work with less staff. On a different note, I had been wanting this gray nice skirf Scarf as the winter is on its way. But I couldn't find it anywhere. A nice cable stiched gray skirf Scarf with lamb wool. I haven't knitted for a very long time. The last time I knitted was like when I was 22 years old. 8 years ago (did I just say that?) I know I've been busy and I think I am stupid to make this decision but since I really want that skirf, I decided to knit myself. I wouldn't come up with this idea unless I started blogging this year. As some of blog friends knit brilliantly. Why not give it a try? I think this is so wrong as I can barely afford my time. I went to this handicrafts shop to pick up 5 balls of wool. (4000 yen!!! = U.S. $ 34.26 = 28.39 Euros!!!) Darn, it'd better be a damn nice skirf Scarf. Well, if I can do this, I can be a better husband. :-) At this point, I have no intention to be in a realtionship. um.. there is no legitimate reason to say so but I feel it's a nice skill to have. Alrighty, tonight, I will just knit 10 rows. Wish me luck on having this done by the end of this year! Happy Monday!

Shigeki-chama,

Wait. What the heck is a skirf? A scarf that's as big as a skirt?

OMG, now I know TWO guys who knit!?

maybe you should knit yourself a jaunty little gray hat to match your nifty gray scarf.

And I find cross stitching back in primary school frustratingly hard. Yeah, they teach us how to cross-stitch in this little subject called Home Economics. Bleh.

Hi Leigh,

Oh yes, it's absolutely a girlish thing to do but I can do it. I used to do it when I was a student. :-) It's just simple. A lot of repeated work. Once you get to know how to knit various patterns, it's not that hard at all. :-) But it's not good for a short tempered person. Thanks for your wish, and you have a fantabulous evening!

Hi EnviroBoi,

Yay for knitting! I am sure I cannot be productive as you are but I will see how far I can go with this. :-) Stay tune! You have a fantabulous morning!

Hi GaijinGirl,

hehehehe. Since this blog is sloppy English blog, I thought I'd use several conversions to get every visitor the idea. I usually use it for currency and temperature. Sometimes, length. All that. You have a fantabulous evening!

Hi Paul,

Thank you very very much for pointing that out. I didn't even notice I spelled it wrong until you pointed it out. Damn, I can never be a good writer... Anyway, you have a fantabulous evening!

Hi Kevin,

Oh yeah. I am certain there are some more who haven't told you? hehehehe. :-) You have a fantabulous morning!

Hi Raph,

That's a brilliant idea. I'd love to do that if I have some time left :-) But I am not sure if it can be jaunty... hehehe. I will see. You have a fantabulous morning!

Hi Mark,

That's kewl that you got to do that. I didn't get to do that as I was not taking Home Ecs at that time. huh... :-) Anyway, you have a fantabulous evening!

Hi AJ,

Well, it's not really big deal at all whether you can knit or not. Maybe, you can have a boyfriend who can knit. Hint Hint. You have a fantabulous evening!

Shigeki-kun, I owe you an apology for not correcting your horrible spelling!!!!! ;p GG Sensei

Just kidding. I am happy to help edit your English grammar, but I am afraid of incurring the wrath of SHIGEKI in doing so. But I think you know how we foreigners feel now--always being told our Japanese is so jyozu when we know that it is SHITE and that hardly anyone will tell us when we make mistakes!!!!!! That's how I know who my true friends are (they are also the ones who will tell me when I have sauce on my face or nori in between my teeth) ;D

Please let me know if you want me to be a strict sensei or a loyal fan reader who knows you are perfect even if your spelling is not! I'm happy to oblige!!!!!
