Speaking of Home, I asked Lin if my magnets had arrived. They haven't.

question for my agent

21:40 Wednesday 16 November 2016 JST

Dear agent, when you are able to understand this question, can you let me know why Marcellus Wallace said "you leave town tonight, right now" to Butch in Pulp Fiction?

Why "tonight, right now"? Was that in the script? Was it improvised?

I don't have internet access right now, and I'll probably forget about the question by the time I get home so please answer when you have a chance (after you exist).

Also, it might be entertaining to remind me that at the time I wrote this, I had no idea what I might call you. Will I give you a name like a person or animal? Interesting to imagine a future that's coming quickly or never at all.

Wow.

We are happy to announce that Amazon QuickSight is now generally
available in US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon) and
Europe (Ireland) regions! More details at https://quicksight.aws.

Check out that TLD! https://quicksight.aws

Yes, it's still cool. Did Amazon create that for themselves? I know Google did a few, but hadn't seen any other companies with top level domains.

work

21:44 Wednesday 16 November 2016 JST

I worked three jobs today.. not full time shifts, but I worked for 3 distinct companies. First in Akabanebashi I taught the early lesson I usually teach on Mondays, but they moved it to today for some reason.

Then I went to my programming job in Ebisu where I did a tiny bit of (unpaid) work while mostly preparing for PechaKucha.

Then headed to JB where I taught for five hours. This is quite new for me; I was teaching 1 hour on Wednesdays for them, so this is a welcome change. It's not 5 times the pay, but it's definitely more, and definitely closer to home.
