Another update. How many comments will I get this time?
I hate waiting for replies or comments on the internet. I get so impatient. And there's always that disappointment when you go to check to see if there's anything new, and there isn't.
But anyway
I'm getting promoted to a front end supervisor at Michael's. This means more money and more hours. Also, this will be more responsibility than I've ever had in any previous jobs. I've never really been at a job long enough to get promoted, and I lucked out at Michael's because they needed another FES so badly that they were willing to train me as one even though I'm leaving in September.
I went to the art museum today. They have an entire Japanese tea house in the Asian Art section. It was pretty awesome. Unfortunately we couldn't go in it, but we could pretty close. We only saw the Asian art section and earlier European art, including armor and weapons, but it was all really neat. I'd like to go back though to see more contemporary works.
Speaking of art, it sounds like something could be arranged for me to study Japanese art or do something art-related while I'm in Japan. I'm not really sure what options would be available, but I'd love to learn how to do sumi-e. It's so pretty :D
Finally, I must make a TV show plug, for yet another good comedy has been discovered. Watch "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on FX, everyone! The new episodes air each Thursday, initially, I believe, but you can pretty much find it on several nights a week, as well. (Check your local listings ;) )
