Teunis and I discussed dance styles, Tetris music, the Cossacks, church, clothing, towels, rotting, my cracking up, mold, floors, damage, showering, writing software, (broad)swords / Jordan / axes / hatchets / knives / guns / cocaine / marijuana / juggling dangerous weapons / perspective, and more. Eric called at 11:10 to say that he's doing sound tomorrow; I can live with 8:45 as the time to leave in the morning! He also wanted to know whether I got his email about Slapchop / Shamwow... yes, although I haven't yet watched the videos. Yup, that's what he was referring to last night, hehe! (COMMUNION TOMORROW...)


Trivia fact for Sunday, Aug. 1: What elective office did disgraced former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori seek - and lose - in 2007? A seat in the upper house of Japan's National Diet, or Parliament. Fujimori, who has dual Peruvian and Japanese citizenship, fled Peru after ten years in office when his government collapsed in 2000 amid a corruption scandal.
