I thought it would be fun to see what these ranking lists said, but wow it's been hard work to just do these two! Some things I've had to spend literally hours on google, grammar books, dictionaries, kanji dictionaries, and phrase books to figure out, and in the end I still had to make guesses. Ugh. Ah well, I think the got the gist of those couple ( Read more... )

This is what I do when procrastinating on my writing, so... ;)

Today, we'll get a closer look at Ooharano and Gion-kun.

I'm back with more All Out!! player profiles! Because of course I am. ;) I'm finding that it does get easier to translate these things... partly because of the repetitiveness, but also because I know now how to tackle unknown and blurry kanjis. :)

This time, let's say hello to the Kirishima twins of Ryouin High:

It seems like all I can post about, except for fic, is All Out ( Read more... )

I'm telling myself I'm learning useful stuff while trying to translate these... ;) And maybe I am? At least, I've had to read up on relative clauses, among other things, again, because... ugh. Sometimes it's just hard to get things into something that resembles English, and I'm sure I'm mangling the meaning in the process. Ah well, it's practice, ( Read more... )

Oh boy. I knew minerals are important, but not that important. ( Read more... )

I feel a deep need to be saved from my other Japanese course book right now. It's trying to make me translate sentences containing fractions of numbers, like "how many fractions of 9 is three"... It also wants the answer. :( Not that the actual text of the chapter has at all gone into how this is constructed or anything. Nope, just pointed to a ( Read more... )

It was a false alarm. I am, in fact, not turning into Uruha. Damn. *pouts*

I sort of celebrated my 2000th post on LJ by making the first drunken post in over two years... and then my Muse promptly began craving tea instead of alcohol when I'm writing. LOL So, nope, not really turning into Uruha. I'm still hoping my parents will buy me alcohol when ( Read more... )
