(no subject)
Things I learned today, in order:
1) How to write the kanji for "snow" (which uses 'rain' + 'pig's head' which I don't understand, but it's easy to remember and write.) Setsu! Yuki! Setsu! Yuki!
2) Armadillos can get leprosy. (Imagines a poor armadillo losing its tail when it crosses the highway, and then curling up and esploding armor plates everywhere. ;____; Pobrecito!)
3a) (from the newspaper) People in San Jose in 1906 were afraid of earthquake victims coming from San Francisco carrying the plague. (Sez I: "Which plague? The black death or something? Whaaaa-?")
3b) (from vandringar) The Black Plague arrived in San Francisco circa 1900, and hikers today can still contract it from ground squirrels. Oy. If getting the Hanta Virus or Lyme Disease wasn't bad enough, the Black Death, too? CURSE YOUR DISEASE-RIDDEN CUTENESS, O GROUND SQUIRRELS!!! *lifts his fists like antennas to heaven*
-----
In other words... memeage! *grabs the nearest book, opens to page 161, sentence 5*
DAN, atata(kai/ka), warm; atata(maru/meru), (intr./tr.) warm up
*bows* Tank ewe, tank ewe berry munch.
