Hi all!
I spent 8 hours in training, learning about supply chain optimization (which is what the company I work for does). Surprisingly, it was really cool. But I think that's because I like stats and problem solving and learning about new stuff.
So
s to those that need them, and a big HUZZAH! To Bettie for the apartment procurement.
After work, I took a walk along the river (there's a walking trail) down toward the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela (aka, the Point), and then back. It was glorious.

Yaaaaaaayyy!!
Evening all. Easter break starts now, woohoo! Unfortunately Easter break will be full of wedding planning and awkward, tense meetings with the parentals but oh well...
Whut up?
Mine shall be full of chocolate and grading, but I am on break, too.
Uni jobs are grand, aren't they?
I'm less concerned about the Easter bunny and more focused on the Cadbury bunny.
Did you know they make chocolate Cadbury eggs now? I did not.

Thank you all for the apartment congrats. I am very stoked. And relieved. And looking forward to actually seeing the real-for-true unit.
I know all about this now, thanks to a newsletter from last year!!
You see, there is a bird that makes a nest on the ground similar to the nest a hare will make (this is in Europe, see) and people would find eggs in the nests and think they were the march hare, laying eggs! Plus, the Pagans were all into eggs and fertility and such.
You do know that Christianity basically snagged all the Pagan dates to ease folks into the new religion, yes? Sneaky!!

Pretty much all our holidays are Pagan, near as I can tell. But just try saying that in public. The 
will burn you alive. What is it with and fire. Clubs are very satisfying on a personal level.

And caramel ones...

You know what sucks? I've been in Japan too long. Sweets here are not nearly as sweet as in America. I can no longer eat the Cadbury eggs. They are so sweet they make me sick just smelling them.
This is from the guy who used to go to the mall just so he could eat those giant super sweet cinnamon roles, or whole boxes of cordial cherries in one sitting.
Hell, I can't even eat a snickers anymore.

Well, in Easter's case, Christianity got the spring timing from the Jews, from Passover. (In fact, in non-Germanic languages, the name for Easter is some variant of Pesach, the Hebrew for Passover.)
The egg and bunny, yeah. Taken from the Pagans, 'cause it fit the whole resurrection thing. Though, in Eastern Christianity, the egg also goes with the legend of Mary Magdalene.
:O What has Japan done to you!?!
Honestly, you're probably better off. I did buy a Dove Easter bunny, but so much of that candy (like the Peeps) looks sickening.

And if you lived in Middle Earth, sometimes known as New Zealand, you could have Cadbury eggs All. Year. Long.
Dude, make your own low sugar chocolates and desserts
little Debio will be enthused. Then how do you get past the first syllable?

It balances out. You get Pocari Sweat, green tea Kit Kat, Gamera and a 1:1 scale Gundam standing vigil over the land. I'd say it's a fair trade off.
Speaking of Australia, and because I have mentioned my theory of how everything in that country is out to kill you, I offer this:
