hey you know when you have some dead skin on your feet or whatever, you just have to peel it off ( or is it just me? )? yeah so i did and i peeled a bit too much off and now i've got a small patch of raw flesh ( tasty! ) on my sole.

or did you not want to know that?



this past week has been pretty busy because the aussies are down.

also, on monday tuesday and saturday morning we had these body combat workout sessions in camp, and they're conducted by this guy named issey tan. i think its pronounced 'isetan' like as in the department store, if only because it's much more fun to imagine that it is prounounced that way. his allusions to a 'qi bowl' - as in "now bring your hands down slowly, right over left, holding your qi bowl" - have clarified what i've always wondered - what the hell are ryu and ken in streetfighter shooting when they go "oh-you-ken!"

they're throwing their qi bowls at each other, of course.

me: so that explains streetfighter - they're throwing their qi bowls at each other!
me: but hey wait. guile does that too, and he's a chao ang moh!
reuben: guile does a sonic boom - ang mohs have got those.
