Hina Matsuri

March 3 is Girls' Day in Japan.
Here is some sugar candy I received from my manager. It looks too pretty to eat.


Thought for the day: GIRLS ROCK!

Update: So Miss Grammar Warden, are you happy now? Just because I teach English grammar doesn't mean I understand/remember it!

Being wooed by sweets? Did she happen to follow this little gift up with notice that you're working the next 20 days straight?

Sorry, i'm really confused: is that a picture of candy... nestled on a bed of smaller pieces of candy??

PS: hey grammer warden, get a load of my lack of capitalizations!! does that make your head hurt? how about my; random semi-colons? Muahahahahaaa!!

1) No, I don't have to work for the next 20 days...but my next term schedule isn't looking too hot

2) Taryn, that is indeed candy nestled on smaller candy. It is very cute and girly.

3) Grammar Warden - I saw that when I published it but was too lazy to fix it. I will now fix it, just for you...because I don't want to be like those people in the hostel guest book in Prague.

Man, I can't wait to start posting on strangers' blogs as the Grammar Warden, correcting their errors and judging them!

When your sweet tooth beats your aesthetic eye, you'll have to let us know what the candy tastes like. Does each colour correspond to a different flavour, or does it all taste like reconstituted icing sugar? Knowing those crafty Japanese, the green will be wasabi flavoured, while the pink tastes like ginger!

p.s. Note how Taryn actually spelled "grammar" incorrectly in her post... Oy. Methinks the incorrect semi-colon usage is not the biggest of her problems... ;)
