IWAMI GINZAN IN MAY

SUNNY ON MY CLOUDY DAY

somehow pippen is now called major pippen mclarry i don't know what transpired.

pippen's behaving like a human and thinks the couch is his. he swept mom off her feet and mom is contemplating to take him home but shuuhei ain't budging.

my sabbathical plan is pretty much on the way. Papers are submitted, the bosses are encouraging, the parents are too (although you can feel 'that' aura around them). the boyfriend is torn in two while the best friend isn't too happy. but i reckon it's gonna be a short posting; 4 months max.

another good news is another best friend from the west is visiting (on business trip-cum-holiday) next month. whoopers. a very nice arrangement before i leave for fieldwork again.
