Hi, guys! It’s winter vacation, so I spend much of my time on sleeping and didn’t come here for a long time. (It sounds like hibernation…I’m a reptile, hehe~). I still have a subject, Molecular Biology, to teach next semester as my department needs time to find someone to replace me. So, I’m planning to fly to Canada in July, after I watch all games of World Cup. I’m a soccer fan, the same as my Fluffy…
But my heart is ready to go. I keep some necessary staffs and leaving most others to my relatives and friends. New life has new start, doesn’t it?
I found new slaves for ALL my pets, except the homeless cats. My pals would go on to take care of them. For me, that’d be a hard time to say goodbye.
Here is a surprise!
Awww such a cute kitty! *pet pet*
I like the ones with the pink ears, I’m a pink addict hehe.
You also now know more french than me, and I’m from Canada! Good job Lancy! You’ll do fine in Canada, and I’m glad you got good homes for all your pets there in China, and I also know that you will find more to give homes to once you get to Canada
Hi Lancy! I know what you mean about sleeping the winter away…I wish I could, but my pets have kept me hopping during this time. ^_^
Currently Mimzy is recovering from a tooth filing. I hope he will be back to normal soon.
I love the idea that you and Fluffy will be watching the World Cup together. I know it will be a very special and yet probably bittersweet one, yes?
Did you say you have found folks who will take care of the kitties? I love the picture of the one in your second post. She is lovely! What beautiful colors in the fur as well as the eyes. My youngest cat also fell asleep in my arm to charm me when I first brought him home, but it was while he was inside the sleeve of my jacket! xD If he could still fit, I bet that’s where you wold find him today!
Awes! Manjyu buns! ^_^ They’re like little dumplings. I feel odd to be the first one here to claim one, but I like the brown one, he reminds me of Mimzy.
Are you going to have special celebrations for New Year’s? I understand it’s supposed to be the 14th this month so it coincides with Valentine’s Day. The Year of the Tiger.
Just like the little tiger kitty in your post! ^_^
EDITED TO ADD: Aha! Monkeybun got here before me! ^_^ Good!
And I meant to comment on your learning French also, because my family were French and I heard it spoken quite a bit as a youngster. I am not as versed in it as I used to be, but may be able to assist you with the odd phrase here and there if you need it. Probably you will find people speaking a more conversational dialect than the technical type they teach in school, but I always found it was all about regional accent. Plus, most folks speak the language so quickly and fluidly you have to ask them to slow down so you can understand what they are saying. ^_^
Ha! Beat you MM! I was first
Yes, I see you did! I should’ve known.
Ninja Monkey! *hides behind the curtains*
Monkeybun, you have the pinky, who also has pink color on the face. I’ll try my best to help homeless animals in your home country.
Hi Lancy! Good to hear the big event is near. What Canadian State (Province?) will you be settling in? That’s so funny you are already checking out the adoptable animals! I think I know just the creature for you…
Bizzaro Totoro!
Canada has provinces, and territories
Yes, it’s important to chosse where to live, so, before I made my mind, I did my homework to learn Canada’s culture, history, geography. It’s an amazing country, every corner attracts me. I even started to learn how to sing “O canada” . I once was thinking of Yukon, the territory of wonderland consisting themes of Matthew Lien’s music… Anyway, I need to think of my career as priority, so, I preffer to settle in Ontario Province, as there more zoos and aquaria, and several colleges providing AHT or VT courses. It remians an immature decision, as all my information came from web checkeing and, LonelyPlanet. I’m still digging something. I wish I could be a pro and serve animals better, that’s the biggest dream in my life.
Jerseygirl, Is Bizzaro Totoro a mix of a Bizzaro and a Totoro ? I’m viewing the imaginism studio’s website now.
Boo east canada. Booo!!!
West coast forever! *waves BC flag*
*innocent expression*

From the artist’s blog I think it’s bizarro version of Totoro…
For every “thing” there is another version that exists in bizarro world.
I did this shortly after the Totoro Forest Project Auction
(http://imaginismstudios.blogspot.com/2009/02/sf-wondercon-bizarro-totoro.html)
“bizarro” not meaning the character but rather the pop culture style : “The concept of “Bizarro” has been ingrained in popular culture where it has come to mean a weirdly mutilated version of anything” `~Wikipedia
That Bizarro just looks like a Totoro that hasn’t had his Azuki bean bun for breakfast yet today to me.
Lancy, you were thinking of the Yukon Territory? Wow…we would’ve almost been neighbors! ^_^ I think I’m just oh, say a few hundred miles to the west of that, near Fairbanks, Alaska.
I’d wanted to go there, and on up into the Northwest Territory, when I was younger and felt more up to the trip. I think now I prefer the comforts of more populated places. Once something gets a little TOO desolate, I start getting nervous. (Things like gas stations-and bathrooms- only every 1,000 miles or so…lol!)
It is beautiful country. I have to go back someday, just for a visit.

Thanks for teaching me, Jerseygirl! Now I’m thinking to have a bizarro version of myself…what will “I” look like ?
Not really teaching Lancy. Just passing on what I was looking up. I’m not well versed in this sort of thing at all ! ha!
Actually, I stumbled across the image while looking for pics of comic strip “Bizarro” by Dan Piraro after member MikeBun posted a piccture of one. Different again!
I imagine the Bizarro Lancy would probably have an animal tucked under each arm and a few at his feet!
MimzMum, I feel the same way as you do. Especially after I got married, I need to think what will be best for my family. I couldn’t agree more that comfort is essential. So, for me, it’s not how to be a survivorman, maybe still a little… but the factors I consider the most are environment, job opportunities, cost of living and so on. I wish I could find balence between to make my dream come true and to support my family better.
However, Yukon is a part of my dream. My wife said she would go there with me, in summer! Hope we could get visiting visa to U.S.A, so that we could visit Alaska. I know there is a famous highway, being fantastic and worthy to visit itself!

It sounds like Beast King! You made me think of my childhood, maybe 20 year ago, hehe~ I can’t remember the story of this animation, but the character is still impressive.
Gah who is that animation! At first I thought it was optimus prime but no…cats? He isn’t a thunder cat…what the heck! I used to watch a show with him. Hmmmm. Makes my brain hurt!
laaaaanccyyyyyyyy!!! how are you!?!? I wish you much wealth and luck on your move to Canada!
If you come to san francisco let me know, I’ll give you and your family a grand tour!
Beast King and Optimus Prime belong to the same era, but the latter is more famous especially after the movies. I owned toys of both. The Beast King could change to 5 parts and each part was a dog? cat? or tiger? Sorry, it’s really long time ago…My brain hurts too.
Thank you for your blessing and invitation! Besides, I also heard other 3 sweet voices:
“If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to bring some timothy in your hands. If you’re going to San Francisco, you’re gonna feed some naughty Buns”.
Isn’t that one of the Power Rangers’ ultimate robot forms?
Perhaps we’re thinking of the Beast Master, Lin? Only that was recently redone in live action, I don’t think it was ever a cartoon. But it did have a charming young man dressed in a loincloth with two companion ferrets.
Beast King sounds familiar, lancy. I remember some of my favorite animation from my childhood was Kimba the White Lion (they call him Leo now) and Marine Boy, both by Tezuka. You can’t find Marine Boy anymore because of the fire that destroyed the warehouse where the original films were kept.
Oh, yes! Leo, the jungle emperor. I saw it maybe in early 80’s when my family had our firt TV set, a black and white HITACHI. Jungle emperor was among the first catoons I’ve ever seen, besides astro boy. I also HAVE one book of the series from 1982 on my bookshelf! I bought from a school library. They traded it because it’s “old fashioned and useless”… In addition, the pic of the TV on the back was the exactly same type as we had! Sweet memory
