feeling: tired
listening to: Glay - Misery
Dangit, I wanna be in the Blogathon but I caaaaan't cause I won't be home for the last couple hours of it >o< I would SO do that... if I could be home all that day... *whinewhine* meh, I could probably never find 3 sponsors by this Saturday anyway... *sigh*
So last night I went downstairs around 11 p.m. to ask dad to hook up the TV and VCR I used in the dorm this year (I have 2 of each at my disposal so copying anime is pretty easy XD), but he was asleep on the couch so I walked on through to the kitchen, but mom apparently saw through my disinterest, cause she asked what I wanted. So I went back in and sat in the recliner, and she asked me if I could say in Japanese what I'd come downstairs to say. o_O I know she's always interested in my studies and stuff, but in the year (almost) that I've studied Japanese, she's never actually asked for a demonstration like that. Tonight she acted as if she'd been begging me to share my knowledge from the start. *shrug* So finally I said I didn't know how to say "hook up my TV and VCR for me" in Japanese, so she started rattling off other related stuff to translate for her. Eventually she got to "fix my car", which I couldn't do (dunno the word for fix), which led to "I like my car", which I can do. :3 So I said "Kuruma wa suki desu", which really probably leans more toward "I like cars" in general... I should've said "Atashi no kuruma ga suki desu" for accuracy... but she'll never know the difference, so it doesn't matter. ^_~ Anyway, so I said that, and she says "WHAT?" so I repeat, and she gets this >_O look on her face and says "That's not Japanese!!" it was pretty funny XD Then she asked if I could say "I want ice cream", and I can... there are a couple different ways, so I picked the one I know best: "Aisukuriimu o tabetai". Aisukuriimu is, of course, pronounced like "ice cream", because it's a borrowed word. And after I told mom that one, she didn't ask me to say anymore. It was interesting. XD
Ooh, I've seen a couple new animes in the last week or so~ Last Tuesday I FINALLY got to see Akira... I think every anime person had seen that except me :P It was... pretty good, I guess. Animation was great, Tetsuo was ugly, the gore and guts were nasty and abundant, and the shriveled up little blue kids creeped me out. Maybe it's one of those things you have to see more than once to appreciate... I dunno. It was cool, but not the best I've ever seen. *shrug* And Friday night I got to see the first 4 episodes of 3x3 Eyes, which I've always heard good things about. It was pretty darn cool. I like Pai's Sanjiyan form~ *grows a third eye* Anyway... it's a 7 episode series, but it has a sequel series with 3 episodes. The channel it was on said next week (now this Friday) it would finish the series, but the title listed in the promo was 3x3 Eyes: Legend of the Divine Demon, which is the sequel series. If they show the first 4 episodes of the first series and then skip the end and jump right to the sequel, I'm gonna be mad. >n<
...Hay Dumplin', you still owe me 20 random nonsense lines to use in a fanfic XD
