Three, two, one...Bimbo.

You heard right. That's how my 7 year olds do the countdown...three, two, one, BIMBO! Although I'm pretty sure they mean "Bingo!" I also asked my older kids who's their favorite American actor:

Marcus: Oh Teacha yes, you know Black Pig?

Me: Black Pig? (He nods). Who's Black Pig?

Marcus: C'mon Teacha, so famous! You must know. Much handsome!

Me: Why do they call him Black Pig? Is he black?

Marcus: No, whiter than you! C'mon, Black Pig! Umm....yes, the Angelina husband!

Another mystery solved. On with some visuals!

All we really do is play games with the kids, getting them to speak as much English as possible. We get yelled at by our managers if we don't. Talk about being backwards. So anyway, this is how I like to keep score sometimes - drawing ugly faces. Sometimes I get shivers just looking at drawings cuz they're so realistically ugly. Eeegh.

Last night was pretty sad. We had a intimate get together for Corrie's last night out in Taiwan - she's headed back to the States. Boston to be exact. Cape Cod to be even more so. Don't we hate Boston as much as they hate NY? (Except for Cape Cod because they produce very Skaterboy like products. Sorry, inside joke.) And here are some pics showing just how intimate it was....

Corrie and me half cut

One can clearly tell how much we'll miss her...

Me and Hammie - we be thinkin some scandalous thoughts

"Calling all gays!"

Honey, please! I'll do what I want!

This is such a jaded NY face, ain't it? He went to Stuy. Fag.

And here's a brief clip of Rebecca, also a fellow teacher I met during training. She lives a bit far so I visited her for the weekend and had an awesome girly girly talking, DVD time. She's headed back to Spokane for July 4th...I'm so jealous.

You'll Always be My Seattle.

Do you hear me, I'm talking to you
Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying.
Boy I hear you in my dreams,
I feel you whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart,
You make it easier when life gets hard.

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home someday....


Wherever that may be. We'll meet again one day. Promise.



What we wanna be when we grow up...complete idiots.


The clock tower in Vancouver...what the hell were we doing in Vancouver?!






The Moore Theatre & Hotel...you'd leave if you had somewhere to go.



Our one and only Starbucks, iced non-fat vanilla chai please.


BPC ain't got shit on...on this water that runs along Pike St. Market



Ben Ben's bathroom the night before our hiking trip...





Calling Mr. Rusty Thrasher...










At the edge of NW America. Seriously. Any further and you'd end up in Canada. It's a scary thought.


Hey remember Ginger? Of course you do, it's that dumb bimbo GPS that kept giving us wrong directions. And don't go thinking "yeah, cuz it's a girl" cuz Ginger was a trannie.



The family...well, like two of them. I don't know who that girl is. Who is she and why does she keep popping up in my pictures?


My grandma says kiwi makes you go poo poo








And some footage from our days in the land of vampires. It was...most awesome.
