Important news flash! My niece has a 11 toes. That isn't the big news; I noticed this the first time I held her, I thought it was freaking awesome then, and I find it even more awesome now. The news is that apparently it is genetic and since she is my brother's daughter that makes my brother a carrier, and since I am my brother's...brother...I'm a carrier. Slowly it is sinking in that I GOT ROBBED! I got an 11th toe in me somewhere and I plan on doing my best to grow it.
Live Long and Prosper!
I'm not a Trekkie but I had to put that there in the hopes that my Manager, a Star Wars fanatic would see it and become agitated because once I made the assumption that since she liked Star Wars that she would at least tolerate Star Trek. I was very wrong and she became very upset that I would even consider them to be on the same level.
Geena, Are we still on for the Vulcan Mind Melding during lunch tomorrow?

GO BACON!
Been a long time, things have gotten interesting at the job. Lay offs are coming. Not a stretch to say that everybody has been affected by layoffs in the past year; whether it is a loved one or at your job, layoffs are everywhere, thankfully this post is not about layoffs.
Its about Bacon. It seems vegetarians have devised a clever weapon in their fight against bacon. They have created this panic around bacon in hopes that they relentless thrashing they take from bacon daily. Last I checked it was Bacon: 1,763,926,746,119 Vegetarians: 0. It is an accepted standard that Bacon will have earned another thousand victories over vegetarians worldwide by the time you are finished reading this post.
The weapon I am speaking of is the supposedly highly fatal swine flu. For a good week or two humanity was collectively soiling its britches over this new killer. People stopped going to Mexico! That is a lot of middle aged housewives and horny teenagers deciding that it isn't worth cheap legal and illegal narcotics.
Also Egypt took great caution when it came to the Swine Flu. It was reported that the government ordered all Pigs slaughtered and burned as to eliminate the chance of any outbreak. Even though it is not actually transmitted from Pig to Human.
Turns out the "Swine" flu is no worse and actually less dangerous-more people will day of the common flu this year than Swine flu and is treated with fluids and rest. One of the "Swine" flu deaths in Mexico was from a woman who contracted the disease from her middle aged son. The woman died about a week after contracting the virus. She was 98 years old! Nobody thought that she might have possibly died because she was an old sack of bones?
This is the first blow of any kind that Vegetarians have dealt to bacon in the thousands of years that the war has been raging on. However; they will not be awarded a whole point for the victory because of the deceitful nature that they went about it. So here is the official update. Bacon: 1,763,926,747,119 Vegetarians: .75!
It is actually VERY impressive that even in the face of a global panic Bacon has taken the biggest right hook it could have been dealt and it hopped right back up. Given humanities unmatchable capacity for panic this can not be overlooked. GO BACON!

I don't even know what this is about
So now that I'm a full time employee I've gotten a lot busier (I'm learning Chinese) and haven't had the energy to share my stories. That makes me sad.
Go here and check out my friend Jamie's blog. Interesting take from a girl trying to make it in the big city. Contrast it with my sis-in-law's blog and you've got both sides of the spectrum covered.
Side note about my Sister-In-Law's blog. If you didn't come to my Blog from her's then you need to know its all about her kids. It is because of her son that it will appear that I will live for an unbelievably long time, because somehow at 3.5 he looks more like me than I did when I was 3.5! Also her daughter hates me because I refused to hold her as an infant because I thought she was too fragile for me to handle. I hope some day she will be able to recognize this kind act as something that contributed to her success in life.
A few realization I've had over the past two weeks...
I've never met a Japanese person who is remotely close to being rude or a jerk. They are the nicest people I've ever met; so polite! I think the closest is one of my best friends Marcos (His name is actually Marcus but...you know what I'll save that for the next post.) but he's half German so its a push. But his Mother (Full blood Japanese) is an absolute sweetheart!
In Japan a Corn Dog is called an "American Dog" and the Japanese that I know love 'em! I also am told that they are 50 times better in America.
Chinese is hard!
Now that my birthday is creeping up I'm realizing I never thought I would ever be 25. Until now, a week and a half before my 25 birthday I was never able to picture myself as 25. It is kind of tripping me out that at 25 I'm feeling the same as I did at 21. The only difference is that I have a college degree, a job, and drink less Busch Light. (Yes, I said "less")
