Trying Sean out at the dentist office / Taiwan, Thanksgiving and Double Tens

Got up at 3:40 PM, which really isn't a surprise. Finally got some expected mail, and received a phone call from the dentist office. Apparently, Uncle Andrew is going on another missions trip to China, and the receptionist Pauline wants me to try his son Sean. Hahaha, I've heard stories from Phil and Jon about how that is! He doesn't work on Fridays, so Tuesday the 26th at 2:30 it is!


Somewhat relevant Taiwan conversation:

[01:24:41] Corey: woobly doobly
[01:25:49] Flami: POO!!!
[01:25:33] Corey: on you
[01:26:30] Flami: no, man... and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
[01:29:19] Corey: ha, I should remember that! in two hours, I have a two-hour-long class about Thanksgiving in Canada
[01:30:41] Flami: so what have you got in the way of material?
[01:30:53] Corey: an article
[01:31:54] Flami: about turkey?
[01:33:27] Corey: it's about a foreign person in Taiwan from somewhere other than Canada wondering why his Canadian friend thinks it's Thanksgiving, and maybe he's confused with Double Tens (10/10, their Fourth of July)
[01:33:48] Corey: then they go to some restaurant here that will cook a Thanksgiving dinner for them
[01:34:44] Corey: I don't know anything about Thanksgiving to talk about (at least in Canada) for 15 minutes, much less 2 hours, but this is my Superior level class, and they'll talk for two hours without any article at all, so I think it should be fine
[01:35:53] Flami: that reminds me, I knew of at least one XXX party being thrown on Oct. 10 :P
[01:36:45] Corey: XXX party?
[01:39:05] Flami: 10-10-10
[01:40:37] Corey: well, you're a bit late for that
[01:42:11] Flami: as if I'd want to go to that sort of thing?!
[01:43:19] Corey: why not?? is it XXX-rated too?
[01:45:35] Flami: the description I heard of the party was "porn-themed" :P
[01:51:15] Corey: well, go next time
[01:52:36] Flami: next time, we'll both be dead! :P
[01:53:02] Corey: not if medical technology advances enough
[01:56:12] Flami: if we can access it
[01:59:55] Corey: I can access everything, for I am the Accessor, accessiest accessor of all
[02:02:01] Flami: you may be in my family of the heart - and I may be thankful for you in that way - but I still say you're nuts :P
[02:05:33] Corey: I was saying things like that in class earlier today to confuse the poor people that are trying to learn English.. multiple forms of the same word used in one sentence confuses the hell out of them
[02:06:24] Corey: the word was "projected," so I told them that in the movies, a projector projects a projected image, and then they can watch that projected image that was projected by the projector
[02:08:38] Flami: ha. I bet they were sufficiently bemused :P
[02:13:15] Corey: they said it was like a tongue twister, so then I told them some tongue twisters
[02:16:50] Flami: what did they think of those?
[02:21:39] Corey: they speak too slowly to get twisted :P
[02:23:14] Flami: kinda thought so
[02:34:11] Corey: that was my lowest level class, though
[02:34:27] Corey: the ones in an hour might be able to do it
[02:36:58] Flami: maybe...
[02:53:21] Corey: well, I'm eating my Canadian Thanksgiving chicken right now, even though I'm a little late on that, and it's not turkey :P
[02:56:06] Flami: haha, nice...
[02:57:23] Corey: if you go to the bathroom in Europe, you're Euro-peein'
[02:58:45] Flami: har har
[02:58:50] Corey: wow! I made you laugh so hysterically, you could only type out two laugh sounds!
[02:59:59] Flami: more like it's 3 AM here, and I can't think of anything else to type :P
[03:01:36] Corey: quick, tell me something about Thanksgiving in Canada
[03:02:45] Flami: I thought you had that covered :P
[03:03:31] Corey: the article really doesn't tell us anything about it other than some Thanksgiving food, which really doesn't look any different than Thanksgiving in the US
[03:04:07] Corey: we have enough material, but if there are any traditions or whatever other than eating and saying what you're thankful for, it could be useful
[03:05:06] Flami: well, it's six weeks earlier than US Thanksgiving...
[03:11:19] Corey: .............
[03:11:22] Corey: of course
[03:13:10] Corey: well, I need to go
[03:14:27] Flami: I should go to bed anyway...
[03:16:02] Corey: okay... goodnight then
[03:16:05] Corey: talk to you later
[03:17:02] Flami: hope you have fun - later
