On a morning when I started homework late

Since I come across a decent number of things I find amusing, I think I’ll start making some random in-between posts with them. I’ve written some entries in hard form these past days– I’ll try to find the time to transcribe them in the next week and a half.

Combinations that catch my attention:

Me and the realization that the computer thinks combination can’t be plural, or conjugated into an adj. What’s the deal with that?

A lack of fundamental copier skills, and a copy machine with multiple paper sizes operating in Japanese. I swear it spent 10 minutes asking me to remove the paper from tray 5, and I spent those same 10 minutes assuring myself that there were only 4 paper trays.

Weather growing steadily colder, and a building (yes, my dorm) with half inch unsealed gaps around the main entrance doors. Combine this with a lack of central heating, and leaving my room is going to be daunting.

I’m really gonna miss America this season. When Ayako prompted me to finish the line “If you talk about Autumn. . .” a few weeks ago, I found myself able to answer for winter, spring and summer, but had no response for fall. To speak of it now,

If you talk about autumn, it’s gotta be pumpkin pie and pecan pie, Thanks-Giving turkey and American football with the family, after all.
