Japanese class did this

There's a large banner hanging outside the Vancouver art gallery right now, and looking at it from the bus, I noticed some characters in an odd font, off to the left of it, that looked like hiragana. 'Te ra', I read (てら), and felt pretty pleased with myself for a couple of moments before I realized it was actually a seventy-five.

Did I ever ask my weblog about the bottle of wine that I received for my birthday? I don't think I did. It came from Rowen; I don't drink, but I respect the cultural provenance of alcohol as a birthday gift. What should I do with it? It's been sitting perplexingly in my kitchen for three months now. Suggestions so far include:
  • Give it to somebody else who wants it (probably my sister).

  • Learn to cook with it.

  • Use it to christen a ship.

Whoops, 'provenance' doesn't mean what I mean by 'provenance'. I wonder what does?

Also, since Rachel has been making puppy eyes at me, I suppose that if you respond to this post, I will sketch an interpretation of one of your livejournal interests in MS Paint.
