me only green crayons

I live in Japan making a living teaching things like fruit, numbers, and the concept of plurals to elementary school kids. I am also a lazy writer, a pretend photographer, and I hate biking when it's really windy outside.

This is sort of a response to an article ‘Being deaf’ by David Peter.

BEING DEAF

At 36, I am a programmer who is Deaf, cannot speak a whit, use American Sign Language, and I love it. I am married to a lovely Deaf wife and have a 5-year-old son who brings me nothing but joy. If I attempted…

I’m sick of rap songs telling me what to do… “Bend over! Slap your ass, girl! Drop it like it’s hot!” Yeah, I’m gonna write a song back and be like, “Boooooy, brush your teeth! Yeah boy. Bump that jacket off your back. I’m fucking cold as shit.”

Holy dang, y’all! I just managed to clean up 2 years of, what turned out to be, hard water stains!

Thanks to UFYH’s recommendations and lovely tumblr user and fellow unfucker lorimakesquilts (who suggested that it was hard water problems and lo and behold it was). Anyway after the 3rd time of attacking it with strong cleaners and lots of arm strength wielding a hard sponge, that crap is gone! 

In fact, the floor is just so dang clean that the “after” photo kept coming out blurry (apparently it’s just THAT clean! that… that’s a thing, right?).

Mary Gonzalez told them she was the best candidate to represent them and El Paso voters agreed, but along the way, the 28-year-old doctoral student at the University of Texas at Austin broke her share of barriers.

"Obamacare is socialized medicine,” says the Republican Party. No, no — excuse me — socialized medicine is what we have now! People without insurance can go to an emergency ward or throw themselves on the mercy of a doctor, and the cost of all this uncompensated care is shared by all those who have insurance, raising your rates and mine. That is socialized medicine and that is what Obamacare ends. Yet Obama — the champion of private insurance for all — has allowed himself to be painted as a health care socialist."

Actually, Friedman is probably right that Obama should just sell his record … and sell it hard and uncompromisingly.

Everyone go read both of these books righnow.

His Dark Materials…
Hm.
First book is wonderful! Second book was an awful disappointment. Third book was mildly better, but mostly the second book just pooped all over the series so hard that it was hard to want to keep going.
Plus that kid love story is just some of the dumbest crap ever.
But Iorek is the awesomest forever and ever.

Hello wonderful, fellow-unfuckers! 
I would like some advice on this icky thing in this picture. It’s the floor of my shower room (I live in Japan where instead of showers you get, like, this whole little room with a door where the whole room is a shower/tub). 
Anywho, the whole thing is pretty clean… spare these awful stains on the floor. They’ve been clean, scrubbed, bleached, bleached, and bleached again (so, technically it’s “clean” but it looks so awful, and can it really be clean if it looks like this?!). Most recently I used baking soda and vinegar… twice! It’s gotten lighter in a few spots, but it’s still stubbornly hanging in there.
Any ideas? Should I just do more baking soda and vinegar? Let it sit longer? Fellow unfuckers! What do you suggest? ;DBrand name-product recommendations aren’t as helpful ‘cause I live in Japan and may or may not be able to find it or something like it, so types of cleaners would be useful, but I really like the homemade things like baking soda/vinegar ‘cause I can buy the simple things and make the cleaner myself. But all suggestions are welcome!
