  • Slacking off

    I've been learning Cantonese lately so my Japanese exposure is limited to my SRS, Takamiy's voice and some music from time to time. Sure enough my Japanese ability has started to fall off. Not so severely that I can't fu…

  • A much-needed wake up call

    Sometimes you get lazy, you know? You let a day slide here, another day slide there, read a few English sites, listen to a little English radio. A little bit won't hurt, you tell yourself. You even think you've gotten fa…

  • Final Fantasy Tactics A2

    In keeping with the spirit of having fun in Japanese, I've been playing more and more games in Japanese. I recently finished Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for Nintendo DS, the sequel to the somewhat-okay Final Fantasy Tactics…

  • So boring

    Remember last years Kohaku that I complained about a few posts ago? I rewatched a bit of it just now and I couldn't remember half of the acts. It was that boring. Geez. Luckily I've got a lot of other things lined up to …

  • Radio stations to check out

    I came across live365.com by chance just new. Input "japan" in the search string and it came out with 300+ results! I don't have the time to check them all out right now so I'll just save that URL here and check them out…

    I'm trying to watch the latest Kohaku Uta Gassen, but it's BORING! Oh, so boring. At least I got one or two songs out of the last one, especially Hirai Ken's "Elegy". I've listened to that one about 6 times today alone. …

  • Gackt+Yoshiki+Hamachan+Matsumoto = ROFLMAO

    As part of my efforts to ramp up my Japanese input I've been watching all those Japanese videos I downloaded from youtube ages ago and rarely watched. I found a couple of vids where Gackt and Yoshiki sit with the guys fr…

  • Listening to lots of music

    I just moved all my mp3s to a new computer... wait, I should mention that my mp3 player is caput. It's a useless POS, stay away from Sony mp3 players... So anyway, moved all my mp3s, and what I hate most is seeing "Play …

  • Still working at it.

    I've been too lazy to post anything, but rest assured I'm still working as hard as ever. Right now I'm reading a Japanese novel, "Sekai no Chuushin de Ai wo Sakebu." There was a big fuss over it 2 or 3 years ago so I fin…
