Someone broke into our school and vandalised it... I haven't been inside, we don't have much information, but it's closed today.
Which led to me walking though the city with 6th grade, then having coffee with a gaggle of 10th grade girls and- I don't know, it's a weird but actually quite nice day.

It's my nameday in Czech Republic. My friends in the village all sang to me and made a toast (hruškovice: pear liquor, if you're keeping track).
And I made a lumpy basket.
Good day.

Sometimes bouts of pop-up depression get coupled with NHK coverage of sumo tournaments, and wow, what a balm for my soul.

Panelák on Steam looks so forking cool and dark and Czech, but it's for PC only, so whomp whaaaa, my streak of not playing any video games at all (which is excellent for my productivity, but at what cost?) continues.

I'm in #Paris.
Such culture! Such art! Food (though I did get food poisoning, so...)! ...but a true highlight was finding this sarcastic rock outside the national archives, we have named "Ignatius".

I cut my thumb open on old paint (no blades necessary!) while making puppets... but now it looks like cute little guy!

#Mikuláš in my little village in #CzechRepublic
It's like St. Nicholas (it is), but nothing like St. Nicholas we'd think of in US.

Spent the afternoon making little candlelit paper lanterns with children for the Mikuláš parade in my village next week.
Good stuff.
