“Let’s Learn Japanese” progress: 29/52 I started the second season back in August and watched 27 & 28… then got off track. Posting here to keep myself in-line. It’s not directly tied to the material covered on the JLPT, but … Continue reading →

Goals in life: Questionable

Posted on July 15, 2007 by baudattitude

Back from Alaska, and it was a fine time indeed. Saw lots of natural beauty, plenty of wildlife, and a few museums. A good trip. Much good food, in fact, too much – I came home at 193.6 and need … Continue reading →

The world is a tiny place.

Posted on June 25, 2007 by baudattitude

Translator’s Nightmare?

Posted on June 19, 2007 by baudattitude

I watched the 2005 movie “Linda, Linda, Linda” tonight. It’s Ouendan’s fault, by the way. I got hooked on the Blue Hearts song in the game so I looked it up on stage6 to see if there was a video, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2007 by baudattitude
