Work.

Today was... TERRIBLE!!

I got one ten minute break over a seven hour period.  Seriously?

I was supposed to go to a Polish dinner at a friend's apartment tonight.  I drove downtown and everything... but parking was bad, my phone was dead, and I was alone and tired.  タビ、ごめんあさい!!I really wanted to go.   I have Polish music and everything.   :(  I'll try to find the CD for you ~_~

Now I am trying to relax by watching a creepy J-horror movie called "Premonition" on Netflix (Thanks Schuyler!!) and drinking some cheap red wine. (Though I really must brush my teeth before I go to bed!!

I finished Season 3 of 30 Rock.  Pretty dang good ^_^.

The best part of work today was Joe stopping by, and seeing Christina.  You guys need to come by more often please!!!!

Language and You

This past year has been quite fun as far as languages are concerned.
This past semester I took Japanese at UWM.  It was really interesting.  I think I have a good basis to begin self study.  There is this wonderful website that one of my friends showed me called Smart.fm.  I have been using it to memorize my Japanese vocabulary.

I am also very interested in becoming more involved in the field of translation.  So I will be practicing that, and restudying my old grammar text books.

Currently I have become interested in the mood created by creepy movies.  I love the atmosphere.  I just watched The Ring, and found it interesting to watch, I'll be watching the original soon.

I got a sewing machine for Christmas!!!  So I have been spending some of my free time repairing the old pillowcases I love.  Dorky I know, but I do love to see my repair pile shrinking.

I'll try to post again soon.  ^_^
