Alright, so apparently logging in from the 'post an entry' page doesn't actually leave me logged in. I can't log in at the top of the site because the proxy bar blocks the top of the screen where the 'login' area is. Anybody know how to get around this? ;n; there doesn't seem to be any separate 'log in' page from the site map...

Anyways, the flight was really long. Obviously. 13 hours omgggg. I still can't wrap my head around flying over time zones like that - like landing just after 1PM on Sunday, when when I woke up that morning it was Saturday. o-o;

Watched some movies on the plane. Rango was...weird. Even for me. Beastly was pretty good :D although, am I the only one who found the 'beast' much more attractive than the 'prince'...? Just me? Okay.

Major jetlag yesterday. I was super cranky by supper time, but after we ate I felt a bit better. The food was pretty good. I have no idea what it was, though. There was some beef with um...celery? Leeks? Those are two really different things, right? It tasted like celery. And there were some sweet&sour meatballs that were crunchy on the outside...fried, I assume. Chopsticks are hard ;n;

One of the girls asked "is this considered fast food here?" when it was obviously a sit-down restaurant. With waitresses and everything. Buh???

Anyways I don't think I realized exactly how many sites are blocked here. All I can get to is aol.com and aramii xD; I took a few photos but don't feel like figuring out photobucket through the proxy right now, so you guys can see those later. I'm going to try to find a way to log in so I can see my friends page+friendslocked posts.

So I come home from work. The yard smells like skunk, eww. Then I notice Tripper's walking around out front...ffffff-

Fortunately I was able to handle it fairly well, showering him upstairs with the tomato V8 left over from last time. I think it worked better this time because I got him right away, and he only got hit in one spot. It was a very dramatic ordeal though, he refused to look at me the whole time, or move anywhere I wanted him to, just standing there with his head down. I do not understand a dog that loves swimming and loves to be wet, but hates being bathed/showered, regardless of water temperature...he'll dive readily into a filthy lake, but the shower or the hose? TORTUREEE.

He loves being dried off though, or more accurately, sharing his wetness with everybody :P as soon as I got out a towel and started drying him, I was his best friend again. And then while I showered myself (since I had just gotten home from work) he rolled all over the bathroom rug, then ran downstairs to rub himself on Paige and the couches despite only being damp...he also only gets the zoomies when he's wet :P

Okay I am using this entry to get some interview questions to Amanda that she's helpfully answering for me...although if anybody else wants to answer them (or even just a few of them) that would be very helpful :D comments are screened for privacy on this entry.
