At MILITANTPLATYPUS, P Diddy calls Bjork. I like Bjork, but you know, this is funny too.

Back…
We’re home. Not much more to say for now. Slept till almost noon, but feel confident I’m not far off local time now. Lime’s off to the hospital to pick up where she left off. There’s about twenty days of work left for her now, and then she’ll have a short holiday, at least in theory. As for me, I’ve done some of the unpacking, but must start in on the repacking. Once I enter my books into my LibraryThing account, that’s what I’m going to start doing. We’re moving to a bigger apartment in this building sometime this month, …
Narita
We’re in the United Airlines lounge in Narita Airport, in Japan. I got my wireless working, but only in Windows — still, not bad considering I only reinstalled both Windows and Ubuntu Linux on this laptop the day before we flew to Canada. I’m about to go for a wander, but first, I thought I’d post this. Let’s see… we managed to get our upgrade to business class.

Old Friends, New Realizations
Last night Lime and I met up with a couple of Clarion Westies (Guy and Tinatsu) and their respective spouses, and slept at Guy’s place. It was so wonderful to hang out, and Guy and I had another one of our long late-night talks, just like the talks we had in Seattle. It’s funny I call these classmates from Seattle “old friends” since we’ve only known one another since July 2006… but I guess shared baptism by fire tends to lend a depth to relationships that may otherwise require a lot of time to build up. Once again, Lime is …
Poulet en Fuite
Or something. The only person who would get that in-joke doesn’t know enough French to know what it means. Anyway, Yae Rim and I have passed a good day and a half in Montreal–pigging out on foods we cannot eat in Seoul, shopping (we got some books and some winter clothes of a warmth, quality, and price that is unmatchable in Korea), meeting the one friend I got hold of and was available (good old Astrid), and she’s now sleeping. I should be, too, but I promised myself I’d sleep on the plane tomorrow, so I’m not terribly worried. Up …
