The Sunrise from my house Yesterday.
The Sunrise from my house Yesterday.A couple things have happened in the past day that I have found amusing enough to write about. The first just happened, so I will relate that.
It should be said that on Wednesday afternoons, (of which it currently is one) Yannik's grandmother watches him. This essentially gives me Wednesday's off except for the hour in the morning when I get him ready for school. So Wed. have become somewhat of a personal work day for myself. Trying to send emails and skype with people so I can stay in touch, followed by either reading, or working on learning german (a feat I am attempting since I live with two fluent German speakers). Then I normally exercise and clean the house up. Well today, I had just finished exercising, after which I was going to take a shower, and then clean the house. So since the house is mine, and I exercise in my room anyways, it seems silly to me to get pants or a shirt all sweaty when no one sees me anyways, especially when I'm going to take a shower afterwards. Well today, I finished exercising, and realized it was getting rather on in the afternoon and the house wasn't picked up yet. So I decided to really quickly do some tidying up. I did this and got the house nice and spick and span, and was in the process of vacuuming when I suddenly hear the door open and someone come in. I quickly thought to myself well this is probably a funny picture, but nothing they haven't seen when I walk from my room to the shower every morning. So I continue to vacuum, and then suddenly, a little head pops around to corner. There is Yannik's grandmother coming to grab his meds for her house, and on the other side of the room is me, dressed in somewhat less clothing than what someone normally vacuums in. I did not at all expect it to be her that had come in. At any rate, she didn't even say anything and just walked in and grab the meds. I tried not to move or speak figuring that if I could stay really still she might think I was a new statue they bought for their living room.
So that just happened.
Now the other amusing thing I did recently was that Leigh and I shared a bonding experience last night as we watched a terrific British educational program called "The Great Sperm Race". I was quite a long program saying ultimately very little. However despite this it was probably the most entertaining thing I had watched on TV in a very long time, as it attempted to discuss the journey to the egg in terms of human perportions. Describing the vagina as a valley 2 miles wide, and 5 miles long. This was of course complete with a about 9000 extras all dressed in pure white running through a large valley. Then in the discussion of the female immune system fighting the sperm, it showed clips of what seemed to me reminiscent of scenes from the end of the Lord of the Rings the Two Towers, and the Black Orcs chasing and slaughtering everything in sight. It was also complimented by such fabulous quotes as, "Landing deep in enemy Vagina territory", and, "They now enter the Cervix, which is essentially Sperm Hell!", along with making the newscaster for the New Zealand National news say, "All that and more, after the Great Sperm Journey" which I'm sure is a line he never thought he would say. I should also say this was all done as well with British accents which ultimately makes anything a little more funny. Overall it was a fabulous night however I unfortunately fell asleep on the couch shortly after the sperm reached sperm heaven, which is apparently the Fallopian tubes according to this program.
At any rate, those were the two major events of my past 24 hours. I am going back out into town tonights for drinks with the CouchSurfers, and probably a nice Korean meal before hand. Hopefully its as fun as last week. Talk to you all soon.

You know, I think that's the same program they showed in medical school!
