Hello, it's been a very long time as work has kept me too busy to do much else, but among all the Livejournal panic I figured I should post. I'm not sure whether Livejournal is at risk or not, but it doesn't pay to be too careful so I've put together some info below.

This Journal

My Livejournal has been backed up to Dreamwidth for years already, ( Read more... )

I've seen a lot going around in the last day or so about people who do translations and whether or not they should be. I thought it was a very interesting discussion and I agree with a lot of the points, so I wanted to address a little as to why I continue to post my article translations here and a bit about the process of my translation, which to ( Read more... )

It has been a very long time since I posted a translation... I actually started this one in November, but there were a lot of changes in my workplace just after I started it, I ended up doing 3 different jobs at once with no time to myself. Actually, that's still what I'm doing! But I've had a little more free time in the last week and thought I'd ( Read more... )

Something a little different this time because he's my fave and I felt like it; Fuma's interview about Hamlet in the October 2019 edition of Wink Up. Just reading this made me tired lol and I wasn't the one performing the play.

The usual caveat, I am NOT a native Japanese speaker and am very much still learning. So although after I translate these I ( Read more... )

Continuing somewhat with translating Wink Up, because despite the stress it causes me (I'm looking at you this time Shori), it's kinda fun and I end up learning from it. Planning to continue, hopefully not as slowly between updates as it was this time but I doubt I'll have a new one up in a week, trying to rest my arm a bit before I cause it any ( Read more... )

I just wanted to say on the record here that I'm so happy for Nino getting married! It's a long time coming and I wish the two of them every happiness. I know there are people that disagree with me, but I'm happy regardless. And I read Sho and Aiba's statements and felt so warm ( Read more... )

I quite like Wink Up so I thought I'd give translating this article a go. It was quite fun but I'll admit I struggled with Shori this time, though when my teacher checked over his part she decided she quite liked him haha. After all the trouble he caused me, she can have him!

The usual caveat, I am NOT a native Japanese speaker and am very much ( Read more... )

Lately I've been using magazine articles to practice my Japanese for a change of pace so I thought it might be nice to start posting them when they're finished. I don't know that anyone would read my blog lol but just in case, I am NOT a native Japanese speaker and am very much still learning. So although after I translate these I always run ( Read more... )

I don't really write personal entries often, I'm more of a commenter,  but it makes sense to write at least an introductory entry I think. I'll try to post a little more in my new journal, I just find it a bit  overwhelming sometimes because someone has always said what I want to  say, and said it better haha. I've set up a new journal just for ( Read more... )
