Very relaxing. Unlike Grandma Jed, I strongly approve of rabbits over rugrats. ;-)
Oddly, according to this site and sundry other things I've seen online, rabbits are "supposed" to shed every three months (although only every other shedding is heavy). Of course each bunny is different and it's entirely possible that Faraday is just working on her own unique schedule.
Were it not for the risk of allergies I'd be buying my bunny as soon as I could---as it is, I'll probably have to stick to caged animals for the rest of my pet-owning life. Damn my overly touchy mast cells and basophils.
now I understand. bunny's are great because they don't some how figure out how to open a bag of rice and then throw handfuls of rice all over the kitchen floor within the two minutes that I wasn't watching him because I had to use the bathroom.
Sorry Matthew for never answering your question: we will probably have to pass Farah on when we leave, because unfortunately I don't think we could carry enough food for her--she eats about her body weight every day!
Yay! A plug for one of my favorite things! Now where did I put my Windy Tales backup...?
Those fansubs are getting disastrously old---they never looked all that great to begin with, but looking at them now I almost can't believe how poorly-encoded they are. (Not to mention that the subtitles could occasionally really do with another round of editing for clarity and goodEnglishness.) I should buy the DVDs, rip them, and redo the subtitles someday when I've got about a month and a half of free time.
[Um... total cost of complete Japanese Windy Tales DVD set: $203.25 plus shipping. Blast you, Japanese DVD market! Blast you, shortsighted American distributors! Blast you, Matthew, for turning a "yes-Windy Tales-is-so-good post into a rant!]
This I would have loved to have seen.
We should start a new family tradition: exercising with poodles at all family events. I'm sure Toby would find it thrilling . . .
Ahhh! So cute. I've been telling all of my friends about her. I think they're a little confused as to why I'm so excited about a bunny that lives in South Korea, but whatever. :)
Well, I'm assuming that only you could have come up with such an excellent name for a lagomorph, but did she have a previous identity that you have changed? Well, I can't imagine a better name regardless. I can't wait to meet her.
Will you pass Faraday on to someone else when you leave Korea, or will she become a globe-trotting bunny?
I like it! You 2 are truly a campus couple. You could title your book that, about dating at Bethel - it might even be, "from campus couple to..." (whatever you want it to be to). Sweet. :-)
Thanks, Ben, for adding the Korean perspective. It must make Koreans feel a little bit better about America, thinking that we, too, have our own version of kimchee! :-)
Aaaaaaaaaand I now have to add yet another chalk mark to the number of times I've heard "Nobody." My students will sing the thing to me at random intervals. They've even started playing it from every lampost in Chungju's Honam Park, a place through which I previously enjoyed walking but to which I now must bring my own headphones and MP3 player.
I assume you'll be adding more to that post; I wonder if you know the song that starts with the singer cheerfully talking to the audience (or herself), with some horn blasts punctuating her sentences? I remember not hating that song the first four or five times I heard it at E-Mart. After time 20, of course, it got almost (but not quite) as bad as "Nobody."
my pregnant Korean wife thinks its the perfect craving combo: pizza and pickles. she has talked the local dominoes into sending her four xtra pickle side dishes with each pizza when she orders. She says Koreans think pickles are America's kimchi.
This week's lesson for the Chungju Middle School 3rd-years involved asking students what they thought it meant to "live well":
Class 1: "Money!"
Class 2: "Money!"
Class 3: "Money!"
Class 4: "Money!"
Class 5: "Money!"
Class 6: "Money!"
Class 7: "Do the volunteer work!"
Me: "Yeah, yeah, mon... wait, what?"
Class 7: "Volunteer!"
Me: "Are... are you serious?"
Class 7: "What? Yes! Yes! Volunteer!"
Me: "You are such a good class! Everyone else said 'money.'"
Class 7: "Oh. Answer change! Money!"
Me: "...I am not surprised."
Class 7: "Money! Money! Money!"
All I can say is that the educational system would have to be extremely different before I would even consider more school to be better. They should focus on the "better" before they get carried away with "longer."
And talk of standardized tests always drive me crazy. People always worry when some country beats them at standardized tests. But honestly, what does scoring well on a standardized test ever get you? I'll never forget in Hong Kong during exam time when they would play the "don't jump out a window" public service announcement. What kind of life is that?

Thanks Ben, but we like our bunny :)
Ok, I think Paula & I might want a bunny now. Instead of the Persian cat. Unless we can find a skunk...
Or at least to share yours. :)
What are you listening to in the background?

Actually, this video shows how boring life with a bunny is. you need kids.
peace

I want one!! We are thinking of getting a Persian cat. The big, fluffy kind. But your bunny is really cute!!
Personally I'd be pretty happy with that particular name change. If I were a rabbit.
I don't know if it's right to divulge the previous identity of a recently adopted family member, but her name might have been Babycakes.
@Matthew: that's hillarious.

brilliance!
...Actually I need to share this with other people.
genius!
