It's Super Bowl Sunday but not really b/c it's only Saturday in the states. I think the game will be aired live, which means 6am on Monday. I don't think we'll be watching it this year.

So I think I'm slowly becoming Thai...as much as possible I mean. I feel soo uncomfortable wearing tank tops. I feel like no matter how nice the top is, it's not nice enough. I think in celcius even though I can't feel the difference between 30 and 35. I definetley think in Baht and will save 200 baht if possible ($5USD). I don't ask for mai pet (no spice) at restaurants anymore. Last night, we went to the little place we used to eat at every night (before we bought cooking stuff). We used to only be able to eat the food if there was no spice and no chiles. But we had both last night and it was awesome! I can't believe it. I have a Thai tongue! Dave and I do NOT generally show signs of public affection. I mean, we weren't all over eachother in the states or anything but no one kisses in public here. Hilare.

The humidity is back with a vengeance and it's not cool(literally). I started taking in my dry clean shirts to work so that I can wear them more than once. If I bike over to school (10 minute ride), they'll be drenched and I'll only wear a shirt once. Lame.

I'm really excited for this week at work. I'm having the world famous horn player, Hans Pizka give a master class for my horn students on Tuesday. That'll be a great learning experience for them and for me. My graduate students are sharing a non-degree recital on Wednesday. They're playing Beethoven's Sonata and Dukas's Villanelle as well as some shorter works and duets. And Dave's first big jazz band concert of EVER is also Wednesday night. YAY! Should be a fun and easy going week.

I made up a theme song for Cheddar and he sings with me! It goes "I want a cheddar cheese sandwich" and he goes "meow" and then we keep doing that over and over and it's awesome!! YAY for Cheddar!

Have a nice super bowl sunday and as the Johnny Walker signs here say "drink, don't drive." hahahaha
