Well, today I was able to write all the basic Katakana in the chart. I just picked up a blank and did it. While feeling good about it I know I will have to draw the chart to take any tests since I still do not know all the letters right off the bat.
It does help the apt has a plethora of Japanese products lying about in every single room. I pick something out and attempt to sound it out.
I am utterly horrible at speaking the language though. We learned kore, sore and are last night and lots of other phrases and they just do not sink in. Of course, my goal is not to speak it but to read it. But I know I need to know the phrases so I recognize them when I am trying to read it.
Watched the last eps of Saiyuki last night. Got a little misty at the end. Now I want more. Guess I need to hunt down the scanlation manga.
While looking for the two Saiyuki doujin I purchased over a year ago (liked the cover art - the only reason why I purchased them - didn't know the charas) I have been finding I own even more doujin than I thought. I dug through a box and threw away almost everything in it except for the magazines I purchased and the doujin. It was a big box. rat was amazed at my heaving shit into the trashcans. Got rid of all the cross-stitch catalogs, since I haven't touched it in ages. Thinking about sending all the quilt mags to the local nursing home, the one where my grandmother was until she died.
I am so wired after class I cannot sleep. The last few nights I have had class I have ended up sleeping only two hours or so. Not good, especially since work has been hell recently. Lots of administrative crap, plus this semester we have a bunch of baka students who are clueless about computer basics.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
