Silly Dishwasher!

Hi! Well, last night we watched Slumdog Millionaire. It was good, not sure if it was movie of the year type good though. I know the slums are depressing, but watching the stuff that goes on kind of gets to me and I don't like it. It was cool how he knew the answers they all related to his life in some way.

We have a messed up dishwasher! Gets me angry! >.< We loaded it up, and set it to clean. I didn't really look at the dishes and silverware and assumed they were clean and put them away. Later, I find out that there's this weird filmy stuff on everything I put away. Apparently someone had set up the dishwasher again after I had put things away. I looked at that stuff, and it was all dirty too. So, we had 2 loads of dishes and silverware that were dirty! So, my dad looked at it and said the drain was clogged with sardine bones. He unclogged it luckily, and let it drain. He had dumped all the sardine bones in the dishwasher after that sardine dinner, smart, real smart! Oh well, after a while everything was clean again. :P

I read more of Naruto. I didn't remember that Hayate had died so early in the story. I liked him a lot. He always looks like he's sick, but is an awesome ninja. Apparently not awesome enough, though. I also liked that all Naruto could summon at the beginning was a tadpole, not a frog. It's still hilarious! I think they might actually talk more about the 4th Hokage. In the anime it seems they haven't talked much about him. I'm kind of curious.

I found another anime that I could watch. It's called Nabari no Ou or King of Nabari. It's hilarious! It's about ninjas in a similar world as ours. Apparently the main character, Miharu, has like a "book" or something inside him that every ninja wants. It gives unlimited power to whoever gets it. I love Miharu's personality! He knows how to get his way. As they say he's like a little devil, that looks innocent on the outside. The way he was drawn kind of reminds me of the main character in Loveless. Very odd. The advisor to the club he has to join is hilarious too! He's afraid of riding on moving vehicles, and passes out if he's in them. He hates rain. Plus, he's from Ireland, which is kind of interesting. It seems a very promising anime, hopefully it will stay that way. :D

Gintama was great as always! At the beginning they acted like they were at a funeral. They basically said it was the "death" of the anime. All 3 of the main characters came up with different versions of what they thought the last episode should be. They even had an Evagelion parody. Towards the end, the mascot for the people who publish Gintama called "Shounen Jump" came out and said it's just the beginning. He yelled at them saying to the producers that they just ran out of ideas and needed more inspiration. Since this was the 150th episode they had a look back at some of the other episodes. It was awesome! ^_^

For Japanese I did the n's row and since there weren't many I started on the h's. I've typed up about 5 rows now. I'm breezing right through! Kind of nice. I like how they have one word for meow, moo, sing, etc. It's naku. It's funny, because I swear they have more words for those types of sounds. I'll have to look at that some time. What, is awesome looking in kanji, at least to me. It's 何 or nani. It looks almost like a house. :P Name is 名前 or namae. Part of it looks like a TV. Today is 日曜日 or nichiyoubi or Sunday. It's funny because it starts with the kanji for day and ends with it too. Talk is interesting too. It's 話 or hanashi. It actually looks like someone's talking on the side. :D My mother is 母 or haha. Funny, because ha means teeth. I think they're afraid of moms, or it's a don't miss with them kind of thing. ;)

My mom is still dizzy and is still using a cane. Apparently one of her meds isn't working anymore so things get to be a little too much for her at times. We're still waiting on the results. I hope we get it soon so we can do whatever is needed so she at least doesn't have to feel this way. Of course she feels really good at night, because she stopped taking Valium during the day and now takes it at night.

Hello everybody!

Hi! Welcome to my first post! Hope you'll enjoy it. I guess I should introduce myself a little first. I'm a college student taking a break. I love almost everything about Japan! Anime, manga, food, J- horror, music, humor, folktales, history, fashion, and so much more! I made a website called Sugoi Japan! I haven't updated it for a while though. I'm teaching myself Japanese at the moment, so I can become certified in it through the JLPT. (Japanese Language Proficiency Test.) I'm hoping to eventually live there and become a translator, tutor, or teacher.

I know about 8 languages. Hebrew, French, Yiddish, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, and Greek. I know some more than others though. Languages seem to be just giant puzzles to me. They're just so fun! ^_^"

I've been playing the clarinet for about 14 years. I've marched for 6 years. I had to stop marching because of an injury that never healed right. I was in my high school's pit orchestra for West Side Story. It was so fun! I was one of the few clarinetists who actually wanted to be in it. I was forced into pep band also in high school, since there wasn't a separate band for it. That's the reason why I couldn't play on the basketball team, even though I wanted to so badly! The marching band in college told me I was so good I should be section leader. I told them that wasn't for me because I don't like yelling at people.

I used to be into drawing and then junior high hit, and suddenly I wasn't interested in it anymore. Ever since getting into anime and manga (which was only a few years ago) I've rekindled that love of drawing. I'm even thinking of making my own manga once I become good enough. It's kind of exciting to me!

I love to cook, play basketball, watch anime, read manga, learn Japanese, play games, play my clarinet, listen to music, talk to penpals, do things with my family, hang out with friends, learn about other people, watch TV, to walk, be a part of Hadassah, my cat, and more.

Well, hope people like this. I'll try to update on a daily basis. Bye!
