Hamster Birthday and other random things

[charliesmum]

I was just reading my post from last year, and apparently Charlie's hamster Ludo was born one year ago. Which I guess means he may be approaching the end of his life cycle, but I had a gerbil who lived for close to 4 years, so I won't get too worried yet.

I find it amusing that the wankiest community I read tends to be the Buddhist community. Weird, no?

In cute Charlie news, he's been 'learning' Chinese. We like to go to this Chinese/Japanese resturant in town - excellent food, not expensive, and fabulous service, and one day Charlie asked the server how to say 'hello' in Chinese. She told him, and he repeated it, and he has such a good ear that apparently he said it without a trace of accent, because she was impressed. Every time we go there Charlie will ask how to say something, and she is happy to oblige. I think she finds it cute.

We went last night and Charlie said 'hello' to her when we came in as well as 'thank you' when she brought our food. It was very cute. And asked how to say 'you're welcome.'

And that's all I got for now.

Why are you surprised? You think buddhists are immune to wank? We are all learning, all at different stages on our life's path. I'm quite certain we will all be guilty of wank at least at one point or another. Pride goeth before the fall and all that.

Well, I'm not surprised. It's just funny because one would think that the spritual places would be all serene and stuff, but they're not. Because, as you say, we are all learning.
