This is the very last speech for first year students! The usual chaos was replaced with respectful attentiveness as the speech was recited. Congratulations students on a year well done!

This is a 100% real screenshot from World of Warcraft. In an unusual situation, I was somehow able to take complete control of my gryphon and fly as I pleased. I think it has to do with being hit with enemy "sap" but that's just a guess. The horde was raiding and I was trying to escape on a gryphon, so as soon as I could move I bought a ticket to Ironforge. But my gryphon didn't take off! I soon realized I could fly it myself, and went for a swim. -- For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, never mind. Probably 50% or more of my readership play this game, so it's not lost on everyone.
In the absence of food, I baked a sphere of bread in my rice-cooker.
Today is graduation day for the students of Sosa High School. The ceremonial drum always starts off events like this.
This is "the duck" pond. Quotations deliberately placed to emphasize the singularity of the duck. This duck is something of a mean spirited waterfowl. I saw it attacking and chasing out a snake today. I'm not kidding. I have a video if you don't believe me. There are never any male callers in this pond, nothing else lives there. Come to think of it, there is a striking absence of orangutans in this pond as well. Clearly this duck has chased them out.
My friend's birthday party. A smashing time.
Karaoke after the party.
"I need you to type chapter 1 to 22." "WHAT???"
This is my neighbor's dog. I remember thinking as I took this picture, "I really shouldn't drink the milk here, it's never properly refrigerated."
This is the building I turned 24 in. The Youkaichiba Community Hospital. I know what you're thinking, but no, birthday alcohol was not involved. I caught a nasty stomach thing and went in just to be safe. I wish I had a better picture of all this. But while riding in an ambulance, I didn't want to look like a tourist. Don't worry mom, I'm ok now.
Rice-cooker French Bread. Made completely by hand, no mixer!
Early morning drizzle.

Do I make a pretty woman?
The Bon Voyage party for one of our brave teachers headed to America. Some students are going to New Jersey for about 20 days on a short home-stay. The supervising teacher is a little nervous!
