So, yes, long time no see. Life has changed a lot since I last wrote. Long story short, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Japanese and Linguistics, and now I'm living in Korea (as long as I can keep making my visa situation work) and studying Korean. But I've got back into the habit of watching movies (more than drama) so I decided to start ( Read more... )

Hello, again ( Read more... )

Evening's Greetings, Everyone!

So, I haven't been posting much because I've had so much Uni work to do. And it's not (s'not... snot... hahaha :-p) like Uni is too overwhelming or anything, but it's more that I'm actually trying to get the best grades possible because I dearly want to get into Honours and go to Japan. And... I got an HD (High ( Read more... )

今晩はインタネト人！！！
Good evening, good people of the Internet ^_^

Two weeks into Uni and already I am preparing:

• to give a presentation on the orthography of Korean vowels
• to write an essay arguing that Israeli Hebrew is not 'Hebrew Revived', but is instead a Semito-European hybridization of Hebrew and Yiddish as spoken by Ashkenazic Jews (this guy is my ( Read more... )

 Ohayou, Internets!

Guess what? I passed my Japanese test! WOOT WOOT ^_^ This means that as of Tuesday I have five hours of Japanese lessons per week, and who knows how many hours of homework :-p Plus Phonology. Plus Kaurna. Wow. I won't be bored this semester, that much I know.

Therefore, in the next few days I want to finish up a few of the series ( Read more... )

Hello / 안녕 Internet!

So, even though I was just getting into the stride of learning 한국어 (Korean language), going to classes every Thursday for the last month (my only classmate being a high-school student who is obsessed with K-Dramas), I now have NO LESSONS FOR 2 WEEKS :-( It's officially school holidays here, so Alex (high-schooler) wanted to have ( Read more... )

あなたは私のほんのイチブしか知らない...
Anata wa watashi no honno ichibu shika shiranai...

The song gets under your skin, in the best way ^_^

Well, I finished watching ブザー ビート a few weeks ago, but what with FINISHING TAFE (ZOMG! Happiness!!!) and enrolling in Uni (Japanese/Linguistics - ZOMG! Happiness!!!) I have not had time to update :-'( So here we go.

I watched ( Read more... )

 Hi Internetizens ^_^

Sometimes I really hate being at the butt-end of the world. Down here in down under, we don't take telecommunications infrastructure seriously - this resulted in my being cut off from my Internet connection for 全部 先週!!! - all last week!!!!
Apparently, because it has been raining recently (this is Adelaide in winter, of course ( Read more... )

 Excellent beginning! I watched the first episode of Absolute Boyfriend over breakfast this morning and it was very entertaining.

So, so far the story goes that the unlucky-in-love Izawa Riiko is persuaded by the manufacturer/creator of a humanoid robot to take part in a 5-day take-home trial of his prototype - a robot programmed to be Riiko's ( Read more... )

 Dear みんなさん,

I have just finished watching the "Last Glass" of the J-Drama バテンダ, starring the very cute 相葉雅紀 - Aiba Masaki and......... WHAT A MASSIVE LET DOWN!

So disappointing. The series only went for eight episodes, so I figured that at the end there would be come kind of big confessional speech from one of the two main leads about their ( Read more... )
