My lovely room mate Elena bought for me a much-needed phrase book. There's even a section about how to pick someone up. oh joy!

Eu nao falo Portugues

How do you fight off a giant anaconda in the middle of the Amazon? You ask him to please go away, in Portugese! So ive puchased myself some Brazilian Portugese tapes because buying stuff makes me feel like im prepared. I dont even have to use the tapes, just knowing i spent money on them is enough for me.

Goodbye World of Wonderment

OK, here i am clearing off my desk.  I thought a before and after photo would help illustrate.  I am officially Moving On Up (moven' on up!)

Its been a splendid/ridiculous year at WOW; although i remember bowling and rollerskating more than the work...

I start the NEW JOB on Sept. 1st.  And then i will be kicking the WORLD'S ASS like karate.
