feeling: not bad
listening to: Cowboy Bebop - Blue ;_;
...asked myself what it's all for... y'know the funny thing about it... I couldn't answer...
Lord, I love this song. I wish I'd gotten it as my Cowboy Bebop Theme Song. But instead I got this, which I had never heard before this prompted me to download it:
what's your cowboy bebop theme song?
It's a nice song. I like Blue much better though.
Erg, school in 2 weeks. I am going to really, really regret not practicing Japanese over the summer. My CD-ROM has been sitting untouched for 3 months, and only a couple days ago did I pick up daily kanji and kana practice again. Also for the first time since June. It's coming back pretty easy though... just can't let myself slip anymore. And I WILL break out that CD-ROM and do some intensive review very soon, because if I don't I'm gonna seriously embarass myself once I'm back in the classroom. It won't be pretty. I don't expect to go back BETTER than I was at the end of last year, but I really, really don't want to be worse. I was already starting to slip halfway through last year. Can't go on that way. Eh, at least I listen to Japanese music every danged day and watch non-subtitled Japanese TV every Sunday night, and before I discovered that I had lots of subtitled anime to keep my ears tuned to the language. Better than nothing, it really is... but it ain't gonna be enough. I need to get back into speaking it, not just hearing it.
I'm rambling. Stop me. Nah, I'll stop myself.
Speaking of Japanese though... I've gotten my dad interested in it. :3 Today I wore the shirt I got from that East Asian language fest I went to right before last year ended, and it has "Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures" written 3 times on the front, once in each of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Tonight he learned which was which, and I also showed him how the Japanese and Chinese characters were mostly the same... then he asked me stuff about order of names (family name comes before given name in east Asian languages, etc)... I dunno, I just think it's cool that my dad actually takes such interest in my major. I thought he thought I was insane for making the decision, like everyone else seems to. He probably still does... but he's interested. He says he's interested in languages in general, especially dialects and such, which we discussed a lot while I was taking that linguistics class in winter. He notices things and asks me about them and I can put a name or definition to them, and such. Anywho... he's probably just trying to encourage me, but I still think it's pretty cool that he takes interest at all instead of picking on me for choosing such a... weird... major. In fact, I think if he were younger and not busy with work, he'd probably go to school somewhere to study languages and history (another subject we discussed a lot when I took those classes).
Man, I'm really in the rambling mindset tonight. Happens when one has no life, I guess. I even left town tonight, and still nothing to talk about. :P Except, of course, that I found the most awesome CD wallet ever at Walmart. I have never owned a CD wallet before. Always just carried my CDs around a few at a time, in their own cases (or putting a couple in one case), and even that was rare; didn't help that I've never really owned that many CDs at all. Anyway, this thing... I can't describe it well... it's black, and the back side is covered with soft tiger-patterned fur, which wraps around and turns into a tiger's face that sort of lazily lies diagonally across the front. And the zipper is adorned with a tiger tail, maybe 8 inches, as a puller. I would say I'll probably never use it, but... I have a feeling I'll try to make use of it this year. Something this cool doesn't deserve to just lie around and collect dust.
now listening to: Escaflowne Movie - Sora... ah, I love my playlist ^^
Know what sucks? These past few days I've actually felt like drawing for the first time in I don't know how long... but I have zero inspiration. None. So I kinda resumed working on this Photoshop thing I started ages ago of two chibi catgirls... but... arg. My muse is the laziest little snot ever to walk the earth, so to speak. Oh, that reminds me... Dumplin-chan, remember the stupid tablet doodles you made me do when you were here Monday? I swear by all things holy that I intended to fill that page and send you a screenshot, but... then the power went out. Gomen ne. >-< It was almost filled too... you'd have liked what I did to the rhino. XP Ahh, and I have an excellent idea for your Christmas present already >:D *snortcackle*
Oh yeah... my grandma's gonna start asking for Christmas lists really soon. This year went by way too fast. T_T
now listening to: Utena Musical - Welcome
kimi o... mamori-TA-iiii... iiiiitsumaaa-deee-moooo... *sway*
I think I'm finished now. Sing, ramble, ramble, mutter, hint-hint, mutter. Another absolutely pointless blog from yours truly.
