snow like soapflakes
gotted a letter from wakikaki. :DDDDDD nanka, kyuu ni ureshii~
jamie's talking about being gone for the whole summer. *rubs hands together in anticipation* if for no other reason, I hope she gets her summer teaching job.
Though i would have to get into the habit of checking the mail myself.
someone got hit by a train. van dorn station. blue line. D:
Something Kaori's husband told her after dinner on Friday (paraphrased into English from Kaori's constructed dialogue in Japanese): Kuro-san understands everything; Nikki-san I'd say probably understoond 80, 90%; and James-kun, maybe he understood around half, maybe not. Kuro-san is weird; he doesn't count. But I'm surprised that Nikki, who seems like such a mature, normal (American) woman would (bother) learn(ing) Japanese so well.
XDDDD i am so amused. At the very least, it says something about Japanese ideologies about (American) JFL learners.
there's a lunar eclipse tonight 10 PM EST. If you've got a clear sky, check it out. It sounds pretty cool.
Got a quick coffee (or apple cider, in my case) with winterspel @ Caribou Coffee @ Metro Center. Got all the paperwork taken care of ^^; and sat for a bit before both of us hurried off in opposite directions on the Red Line.
sillyandmorbid: What the hell, I can do math with fractions.
;__; i probably should have taken mycroftnext up on her offer to help me with my 6th grade level math phonetics homework. Oh well. Over now. They drop the 3 lowest. (this is one of them. DDD: fractions). I think, I think I'm just going to do what I did in math classes for years when i didn't care enough to put in real effort and just kind of fake it until the section is over. It's always worked out for me before :D (also, I'm really fast with Praat compared to the class (since i've used it before), so it's one thing I don't have to worry about)
you know what would be an interesting paper? intertextuality in rap & hip-hop.
+reading for tomorrow (i suspect a pop quiz :\ who does that?)
+make dinner. fried rice, or gyoza.
+CODING. i am not kidding this time. 400 tokens by Friday.
+write up your article report for Monday
+transcribe sections of interview
+pull out sections of interviews for data for Monday
+phonetics homework for Monday
+Type up project notes, send to group. Discuss how we're going to do our group write-up.
+start section on performance as performativity
+re-read Eckert & McConnel-Ginet. (1992) Think Practically and Look Locally. Annual Review of Anthropology, 21: 461-488. (...it bothers me when I know both the article title and the authors I want off the top of my head. :\\\\\)
+do dishes. TONIGHT.
+wake up early to wash face before they turn off the water
eta: bacon is not a good meat for fried rice. I think i'm going to end up picking it all out. blegh
eta2: i ate the rest of my cookies yesterday evening to augment a mediocre dinner, and now i'm sad, because i want one now. I wish i had something to snack on. (that is, i wish i had something to eat that i don't have cook first)
