Got home around 10pm last night. Bananna was home upstairs in Soness's room, so I went up there to chat with her. Soness was still at her Artists' Way group that she's leading. Told Bananna about my day, something like this:

"Okay, we had to connect various types of objects to various other types of objects, so we used a linking system that just listed all the ids of the objects. I noted that the linking system was pretty much the same in all cases (add a link, remove a link), regardless of the actual objects being added. So I wrote some functionality into the objects' classes that allowed them to link to each other.

"Alfonzo was like, 'cool,' and a few months later, 'aha,' and abstracted the linking functionality into an abstract class that all the other classes instantiated," (I used the word "used," but I digress.) "and that solved the very problem I was having yesterday.

"So that was the good news! I used his new classes and was able to write the page I wanted to write but was having big troubles cause the code I was using had gotten all crusty like old peanut butter that had turned into peanut brittle," (now I'm just making shit up I didn't say at all, but it's April Fool's Day now as I write this so it's okay) "and I was like, 'ugh!' and hated it all, especially since after he wrote the new classes, all of my code was not so much superfluous as completely useless.

"All except for two parts, it turns out, so I'm glad we commented it out instead of wiping it altogether, but in the end it was all good. How was your day?"

Bananna was like, "my day was relatively boring compared to your day; I've just been going through my stuff [that accumulated during 3+ months at The Red Ski House in Hokkaido]. And I took a bath."

"Did you take a bath like *this*?" I asked, holding up my arm.

Because I was lying on my back, the joke didn't translate; see she broke her wrist three weeks ago and still has on a brace which she can't get wet. I sat up and tried again and she laughed.

Bananna is so nice.

Lesson with Emiko from 8 to 9pm involved a lot of my apologizing for being so sleepy... She was quite understanding, and we had a good lesson. Went a little bit over an hour because my train in Shibuya was at 21:36. We took yamanoted line from Ebisu to Shibs and she continued on to Ueno (completely opposite side of the loop) on her way home to Chiba.
