Humidly Yours, Ushiku

Wow, has it been five days since I posted last? Where has the time gone? No, seriously, what the heck happened? Its like I got abducted by a U.F.O. or something (last thing I remember was those strange clouds boiling into an otherwise clear sky... oooh beautiful lights...).
Yeah, anyhow, we've been having the same old cycle of heat, rain and humidity. Been very busy; we finished putting the rock in along side the house (my friends' obsession with completing this particular project kinda reminded me of Lt. Col. Nicholson in Bridge Over the River Kwai; except we didn't get to blow anything up at the end). I've unleashed my resume onto the job market, and, as expected, it is ravaging the countryside. So far I've gotten a few tentative nibbles, but woe betide the fool who tries to reject this monster outright - it goes back and gets some! Actually, it might be a tad too strong for this job market (Kentucky might not be ready for it - shoulda taken it out to the Nevada Test Site first...). Gotta get back to the paperwork, but I promise not to disappear again for so long. In the meantime: "Look to the skies!"

Hi!

Thanks very much for commenting me on my blog. You lived near Katterbach? It's in Bavaria, isn't it? I hope you had a great time there.

See you
Fabi

Grüß Gott - Hi Fabi!
Yes, Katterback is in Bavaria (in Mittelfranken). It was a lot of fun, especially during Fasching!
How goes your Japanese study?
Good luck!

Hi Kit Ten!
Thank you for your support - I hope to have some good news, employment-wise, soon. I hope the HR folks are wearing dark goggles when they open my resume... kaboom!

When I was in Japan I used to waste a lot of time and money on UFO catcher games (UFO being pronounced as one word). I wish they could actually catch an alien space ship, but the prizes inside were usually pretty cool (or cool enough). What do we call these games in the States?
