I wrote a book. As many of you have heard, no doubt.

Anyway, it's available now.

The thing about stupid candles is that my typical method of disapproval, burning, doesn't work as well for obvious reasons. The inanity of the very concept!

I think it is, in the end, advisable that I stay on pay-as-you-go, possibly with a texting package, and use Skype for long calls instead of R and I getting a shared plan. I simply don't use the phone enough to make it worthwhile - and I will use it less when married. It's like a total of $20-25/month.

Social necessities required I attend a meeting betwixt my wife and two other English-speaking expats today after picking up some books and DVDs from some Scottish bloke. It being just past my birthday, just prior to RIG's and with Mildly Naughty Puppy's arrival imminent, gifts were presented.

I probably won't actually be solving the sudoku turlet paper but Mildly Naughty Puppy's gift could only have been even excellenter if it had been in English.
