I was going through my LJ looking for something I had posted a while ago.

I couldn’t remember when I had posted it, so I was just browsing through.

I came across this post, which for some reason just made me laugh. I can still picture my dad doing it. Since I had written it before Pink-Spider.net was redone, it’s not on this site. I’d like it to be on the site, because I think it was a cute story, and my dad is awesome.

oh dad.
So, we’re in the living room. And my mum goes, “Hey, come here and teach me how to use the search thing on the thing”. I asked if she meant the TV or the computer, and she said the TV. She wanted to search for a program to find out when it was on, and she wanted to know how to do it for next time.

So I said okay, and got the remote from my dad.
We get to the screen where you type in the program name, and it says something like “Please use the on-screen keyboard to type in the program name you are searching for”, which is followed by a keyboard where you select the letters (using the remote).

My dad goes, “Wait a minute, I want to try something”.
He gets up and goes over to the TV. I thought he was going to try to make the picture more clear, because sometimes he thinks it’s fuzzy and tries to adjust it.

But no.
He takes his finger, and starts pressing the letters on the screen – like you would one of those touch sensitive screens at the ATM or movie theatre.

I said to him, O_O What are you doing?
And he goes, IT SAYS USE THE ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD.

No dad. No. That doesn’t mean you press the screen.
He sat back down all, I don’t know why it says use the on-screen keyboard.

Hahahahaha. He’s … not exactly totally in touch with technology. As you can tell.

Here we go.

We all need more random questions in our lives.

One of my students drew a picture of me! Haha.

She’s a really cute girl. One day she was singing 「さくらんぼ」 and because it was super popular when I was in university here (and because barby played a cover of it at their oneman) I know it quite well.

So I sang along with her.
She was really surprised. WHY DO YOU KNOW THIS SONG!?

Haha. Cute.

Sir Patrick.

A W E S O M E .

since I updated last.
Again.

No reason really, just not a whole lot to say.
I’m back in Canada now, until Saturday when I have to leave at the ass crack of dawn. Not looking forward to that.

It’s freezing here, but it’s been nice seeing my family and friends.
Christmas was good. Same as every year, really. My cousin’s baby, Zion, is the cutest thing ever. Watching him and Watson together was absolutely hilarious, because poor Wattie didn’t know what to make of him. He started barking at the baby because he wouldn’t pet him… and you know how Watson is. Watson gets what Watson wants, so if you don’t give in he doesn’t know how to react, haha. He calmed down after a while, and kept trying to lick Zion’s face. The expression on the baby’s face was priceless.

Kat and I went to see Avatar in 3D… which was AWESOME. And 3D glasses are super hot.

Got my hair cut (needed it).

And… that’s about all.
Not really looking forward to the flight back, but what can you do.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, and has a wonderful New Years.

I don’t think any commentary is necessary.

For some reason, I was thinking about this the other day, but I couldn’t remember how it went down…. so I asked Nels. Luckily, she did.

So here it is again so I never forget.

Nels, Matty, Wouter and I were all watching some movie about a Mountain that had like, Nicole Kidman, and some other people in it. Cut to a scene where a very familiar actress comes on screen.

Wouter: Is that Natalie Portman?
Matty: What?
Wouter: Is that Natalie Portman?
Matty: What!?
Me & Nels: IS THAT NATALIE PORTMAN?
Matty: YES A GUN IS A LETHAL WEAPON.
