Hiatus Recap
I haven't posted on here in a while...
This December, I'm going to be taking the JLPT N3 in LA. Because of that and all the classes I'm taking this semester, I'm pretty busy! I've been trying to keep up on Japanese by reading a lot and also studying all the vocabulary required for the test. I've also been watching a lot of anime and tokusatsu (and the odd drama).
Kamen Rider Wizard finally ended last month; while it started well, it really struggled with writing and character development, so I wasn't terribly sorry to see it go. It was replaced by Kamen Rider Gaim and its breakdancing fruit warriors. Gaim is up to episode 4 so far, and seems to have very good writing and much better handled characters even though there are even more of them than in Wizard. (Also, it's very reminiscent of Kabuto, Ryuuki and W, all of which I liked.)
I ended up being pretty busy over the summer, so I didn't get as much sewing done as I wanted to, although my quilt project did make some progress. For Halloween, I was working on a Captain America costume (since I take costume classes it's fun to dress up), but my sewing machine tragically broke down a mere six inches from finishing. Since the needle froze in the down position, I won't be able to finish that particular project until I can get it out of the machine.
