I have many things I'd like to say, but not much time in, or energy with, which to say them. That sounded horribly incorrect, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to put it ( Read more... )

This Saturday was a crapload of fun. I'm really glad I got to go to Astroland one last time before they close it down. I had intended to last summer and was very disappointed when I wasn't able to make it. Luckily, I had a second chance to make good ( Read more... )

Taylor Mali (of "The The Impotence of Proofreading" and Urbana Poetry Slam! fame) has several appearances scheduled at the Bowery Poetry Club in April, but the only one I'll definitely be able to make is on Tuesday, April 22nd at 7pm.

Anyone who's interested is more than welcome to join me.

There's a bar. ^_~

Oh, you should check this one ( Read more... )

I passed the JLPT4 I took back in December ( Read more... )

Tuesday night I got home at 3am and had to wake up at 7am on Wednesday morning. Normally I'd be fine on 4 hours' sleep, but with working at the con this past weekend, not much sleep was had, so yesterday I was pretty tired ( Read more... )

I really enjoy my weird dreams. Good thing, since I have a lot of them. That said, I wonder sometimes what the hell my subconscious is up to. >_<;

In any case, it was quite a novel feeling to take the JLPT today. So reminiscent of SATs and such, which I haven't taken in YEARS. In fact, I haven't taken any tests in years. You'd think I would ( Read more... )

Judy came over today and we studied, with Liz's help, for most of the day. I'm not going into this knowing 100% of all I have to know, but I figured it's worth it to take the test anyway. $40 isn't a waste for an official assessment. And hopefully it will motivate me to actually study more intently before my next session of classes starts. I ( Read more... )

I finished Jim Butcher's Cursor's Fury and, of course, I did like the ending. It was satisfying, though I still say that this particular installment is still more set-up for the next book than anything else. I'm pretty sure book 4 takes place directly after this one, whereas there was quite some time between books 2 and 3. Again, there's some ( Read more... )

I registered to take the JLPT4. So I have two months to study for it. I'm hoping that the next 9 weeks of classes will help prepare me for the test. I will have to do some studying on my own, of course, but the classes will probably be a big help. I did print out some very basic study material/guidelines from a site yoshiinjapan recommended to me ( Read more... )

I know I had a weird dream about hanging out at Carrie's place. I think it was because I was looking at Judy's photos just before I went to sleep ( Read more... )
