Why is everyone around me getting sick?!
They're being picked off like flies!
1. Midget and Lollipop are knocked down although Midget is a lot more serious than Lollipop's condition. Midget is feeling nauseous and achy. She doesn't want to move and a fever has set in. She's been tearing up since 5pm - must be her body trying to flush her systems out. I'm concerned but I don't want to get sick either.
2. Midget's brother was sick first, lying in bed for three days. I don't know why Midget wouldn't think she'd contract it from him but I have noticed how pale and tired she looks lately. Maybe it was eventual. But with both of them down and out for the count, Midget has only one brother left to walk Cubby all the time... which isn't going to happen. Her brothers may be responsible but majority of the dog-caring is thrown on Midget. I will have to remember to make the effort to walk Cubby while Midget's sick. The bigger the dog, the more exercise they need..... and Cubby is a big ol' butthead. 
3. Brother dearest bought a couple books.... I discovered them two days ago, wondering curiously if he was actually going to bother. He didn't. Instead, he gave it to me. He probably intended to give it to one of his guys/minions to follow up on it but now they remain on our living room table. The two books are: The Art of War by Sun Tzu, translated by Thomas Cleary (interested in) and Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki (not so interested in).
4. My kitchen reeks of raw and cooked salmon. Yesterday, my brother went fishing on his buddy's dad's boat and came home with a couple black garbage bags full. Ick. It looks like there will be salmon steak and salmon-related dishes for a while. I'm not exactly looking forward to that. Mom also injured her pinky, accidentally cutting it while prepping the fish to be frozen and stored. We have a hude metal bowl of fish eggs too. Goddamn. One of my brother's friends cut up some sashimi but I declined. I'm not a huge fan of raw fish.
5. Walking to Dressew for some plastic spiked bracelets and white fabric for my costume, I came across this intriguing swordplay place. It even had the umbrella self-defense workshop I remember vaguely from the radio a several weeks ago. It stood out in my mind. I considered trying it out but I don't usually carry an umbrella on me, much less the proper long ones with a hook. *shrug* But I did note on their front page they do host birthday parties.  Guess who is going to have her 24th birthday party at a swordplay training hall? Hehehehe... It's awesome. In roughly 7-8 months, I'm going to celebrate with sword-fighting lessons during the day and improv shows on Granville Island at night. I cannot wait!
6. Meandering through the swordplay website and chatting with Wang on the phone, I decided to look up any ninjutsu training available in Vancouver. There is one: Vancouver Bujinkan Ninjutsu. However, it appears they are trying to cement a permanent dojo location for them to train regularly. The phone number provided looks like a cellphone number. Sifting through the website, I also learnt previous martial art experience would hamper one's learning abilities. This sidenote is a put-off. Le sigh. It looks like Dee will not be a ninja, not even temporarily.
It's all good.
However, I would like to master Shurikenjutsu - throwing shuriken, either the long, thin daggers or the star versions.
