A conversation

Conversation with my friend Evan on aim:

LAFinginKambara (3:52:48 PM): I made myself an office
LAFinginKambara (3:53:00 PM): and wrote up my weekly schedule
LAFinginKambara (3:53:26 PM): cuz these first 8 weeks of class I've basically just been floating
LAFinginKambara (3:53:39 PM): I haven't really known what to do with my time
LAFinginKambara (3:53:51 PM): not knowing how to teach...or lesson plan...
LAFinginKambara (3:54:15 PM): So my schedule has blocks of time telling me exactly what to be doing at each hour of the workweek
theevman003 (3:54:37 PM): yeah it's good to do that sometimes
LAFinginKambara (3:54:45 PM): so now I think I can get much more done and feel like I'm accomplishing things, moving forward. A doggy-paddle at first
LAFinginKambara (3:55:03 PM): I think I'm going to write another blog post here before I go home
theevman003 (3:55:09 PM): at least it's not a cat paddle!
theevman003 (3:55:16 PM): *smiley*
LAFinginKambara (3:55:20 PM): haha
theevman003 (3:55:31 PM): the cat would probably drown
LAFinginKambara (3:55:35 PM): and cats get really mad when they're in the water
theevman003 (3:55:42 PM): yup
theevman003 (3:55:52 PM): yeah, cats hold grudges
theevman003 (3:55:57 PM): they kinda suck like that
LAFinginKambara (3:56:01 PM): I would try and lower my cat Yatzee into the tub and she would poke out all her claws
theevman003 (3:56:08 PM): lol
LAFinginKambara (3:56:12 PM): She tore a huge rip in the shower curtain once
theevman003 (3:56:25 PM): did she claw you to pieces?
LAFinginKambara (3:56:30 PM): that was when I was like 9 years old
theevman003 (3:56:33 PM): or just the shower curtain?
LAFinginKambara (3:56:39 PM): yeah, continuously
theevman003 (3:56:46 PM): so you were doing it basically because you thought it was funny?
theevman003 (3:56:47 PM): lol
LAFinginKambara (3:56:59 PM): the 3 of us kids would always get these raised scratches on our arms
LAFinginKambara (3:57:27 PM): he would lock onto your wrist with his front paws and then kick with his back paws while biting you
theevman003 (3:57:37 PM): wow
theevman003 (3:57:41 PM): that's ferocious
LAFinginKambara (3:57:55 PM): felineocious
theevman003 (3:58:02 PM): lol
theevman003 (3:58:52 PM): my dad took our cat once and launched it up into the air in our front yard because i didn't think they landed on their feet, so he grabbed the cat, and took him outside, and tossed him up in the air
theevman003 (3:58:54 PM): lol
theevman003 (3:59:00 PM): that cat was pissed
LAFinginKambara (3:59:14 PM): did it land on it's feet?
theevman003 (3:59:16 PM): yup
theevman003 (3:59:34 PM): and then it bolted far away as fast as it could
LAFinginKambara (3:59:43 PM): I would make yenti do flips so that she would land on her feet on our guest bed in the basement
theevman003 (3:59:55 PM): lol
LAFinginKambara (4:00:01 PM): one hand under her chest, one on the back of her back legs
LAFinginKambara (4:00:18 PM): then you just swing her back legs under her body and let her drop
LAFinginKambara (4:00:38 PM): I timed it wrong a couple of times and she landed right on her back
theevman003 (4:00:45 PM): eek!
LAFinginKambara (4:00:58 PM): naw, she's still alive 12 years later
LAFinginKambara (4:01:07 PM): minus a lot of hair and skin on her stomach
LAFinginKambara (4:01:11 PM): but that's her own fault
theevman003 (4:01:49 PM): huh
theevman003 (4:01:53 PM): what'd she do?
LAFinginKambara (4:02:15 PM): licked it a lot
theevman003 (4:02:59 PM): ah
theevman003 (4:03:37 PM): so are you glad you're in Japan right now?
LAFinginKambara (4:05:26 PM): yeah, I mean, I miss Eau Claire and my friends a lot, and it would be nice to be able to communicate with my co-workers, but this is definitely an adventure
