Nifty thing I figured out. If you double click on a word in the online New York Times, it pops open a word that tells you the definition.

I sit now on a fixed chair. Yep, the DIY project of the moment is now finished. I successfully put back together the chairs that had broken apart with some well placed glue, screws and nails. These chairs, which I am the guardian of, are now stronger than they have ever had been in their lifetime. And they look as good as new. Who-Ra.

I have no exciting pictures to show you, however. Despite the pleasure I get from putting things together, it just ain't no fun if you're not holding the hammer. Trust me, you don't want to watch a video on chair repair. As I have avoided injury this round, there isn't really much entertainment to post. What is a good project for me is boring for you.

In other DIY news, I tried my hand at sushi making this weekend, and it came out as surprising success. While this Gaijin may lack superior rolling techniques, I did it well enough keep everything together. And that was all I needed enjoy the amazing tuna and salmon that we picked up at the Sydney fish market. Yum, fish plucked fresh from the sea, rushed straight into my belly. If only all my food could be like that.
