Yes, oui si да はい, true 1. ja, .i go'i!

RSI frightened me into getting a wrist brace. With many hours of sitting on comfy couches with bad typing posture in front of my laptop at my dad's apartment, my left hand started to go slightly numb. For someone whose livelyhood and thus life depends on his hands, this is very freaky. I am wearing it as much as I can and will continue trying it out for the next month or so. Hopefully it'll help, but I'm skeptical. I should probably start looking towards other prevention techniques besides the heavily advertised ergonomic keyboards and keyboard-alternation (which I effectively do. workstation at home, laptop at *).

Oh, as for the text at the start of this post, I was boredly thinking of all the different languages I know how to say "yes" in and managed to come up with an english-sounding sentence from them all. If you can't figure out the language, peek at the source - it should give you some clues. See if you can "decode" the "hidden" message!

Back in Rochester again. I'm glad i came back a day early - i need it to unpack, unload and fall into the routine again. Oh, and do some homework (bugger).

On a related note, I finally finished reading all the archives of Megatokyo. I now see what all the fuss is about - it's an enthralling story. I'm quite amused how certain characters remind of Anime Club peoples. (Largo reminds me heavily of Scojew, for instance). Unfortunatly though, as with any time i do this, i'm now frustrated to having made it to real-time. The story is slow enough, let alone being delayed by days instead of mouse clicks.

Ryan and Cassie are presently here. Melissa will pro'ly end up here tonight, Mariah should be arriving tomorrow, and hopefully Care will be able to come by before long. It's going to be a fun time in the Geekhaüs.

Care and I baked chocolate cakes. We even made one for Cole that was vegan. This all makes me quite pleased, mostly because chocolate cakes are tasty and we were able to make them together. On a related note, plain Silk is quite a edible thing. Forget the vanilla flavour, plain is just dandy. On a related note, marinated and cooked tempeh is a quite tasty vegan food. I fully intend to acquire some of it as well as other Rochester-rare grocries like Ken's Steakhouse Redwine Vinegar and Olive Oil salad dressing, Five Brother's Five Cheeses Pasta Sauce, and Malted Milk. Why are these so rare in Rochester? I wish i knew.

Well, I've been leaving this post in my text editor too long - new years has come and past, leaving only photos and memories. It was a fun party and so many random people came: BermanNate&Paul (and their respective female accompanyment), James Northrup (who i hadn't seen since senior year HS), and even Boulat. Pink Stucco knows how to throw good parties.
