I remember

When I was growing up my mom used to have me type up her homework for her while she watched TV.

On TV in Japan

Oh

The only thing I got for Christmas was let down.......

Also, my body is broken, the whole thing, I need to get that replaced.....

That's not cool.

Maple and brown sugar oatmeal with -50% less sugar, I think I got ripped off........

1300mg

And I had two.

Classes

I have finished all the finals and tests, just got my philosophy class next week and I'm done with this semester :>

wanderlust

I want to go some where.

Oh, "age"......

My head is cold

Trying to be healthy

べんとの釜バターうどん

Party.

It was my birthday today. I had a big party with all my friends.

I wander.

Going to bed hungry.

Lendy's

Lendy's on rout 66

Last night.

It was 1C/33F when I went to the gas station. While I was there I figured I'd wash off my wind shield so I put half frozen water of my freezing windshield and then spent 15 minutes scraping ice off my windshield. I make terrible decisions.

I wish I would have kept working; then I could have went on vacation, but now there are so many things I have to do. I want to get the ccna and the cna. Also I have my regular classes that I have to finish. I would have liked to have traveled this year, maybe to Japan again. I could have just gotten; a cheap hotel around Tokyo, a green pass, and some walking shoes. Then I could have pretended like I live there...

Shoulda woulda coulda maybe next time.

Also got my books for next semester. Gonna be trying out mythbuntu here soon too; Pretty happy about that.

R.I.P. Andros.

Haven't been eating right lately.

Uuunnnnnnnnn

I need to take a cold shower..

Sigh

So next semester I will have 4 to 5 classes. 4 at the community college; logic, Spanish 1, music appreciation, and a linguistics course. At the university, assumming the let me in, I'll be taking Japanese 102 if I can test out of Japanese 101 which they offered last semester; the one they wouldn't let me in. Either way it's kinda nice because I'm now starting to take my degree classes.

Philosophy.

I got a 90% on my phillosophy midterm exam.

Oh, not to long

I feel better I suppose.


Tried to get in on some FFXI and got told no.



仮面 wrote me some letters...and even transcribed one of my English 102 essays into Japanese. I wrote them a letter, a small little piffling letter in JP. I hope they can read it.

Got told to go outside even....

Not being online is nice. So is being so. Wasn't gone long either way.

Yeah...

I'm going to go, for a while; off-line. I'll be back...late November mid December maybe.

With our power combined!

I finally got all my speakers....Now to start speaking......

Kai Jr.

It's back

But I hope it's gone by sunrise.

Nuzzle

Na mean?

That purple grining guy that always starts shit with anpapaman? Yeah, I'm going to curb stomp the shit out of that motherfucker.

Castillo de Kai

At the laundry mat!

I have spotted a rare species of crocodile known as the kawaiidile!

Purple drank.

Karaage Donburi

Brushing up.

Someone I know recently had a new baby. Lotta people I know are spawning....someone else I know has a kid who asks questions and then says "okay" no matter what the answer is. Would sometimes say okay just to say okay.

Today there were two of them; they ate through my patients almost immediately? and they were here for less than 30 minutes.
Brushed up on my languages and the game "my Japanese coach" says I'm about a kindergartner and "my Spanish coach" says I'm a toddler.

aw damn

Like, before...if I recall correctly, she normally had maybe 8 or 9 spots that she had to hit. Now she has 24


And she has a new rule to her game. Although I'm not totally clear on the details it seems like if she gets either snake eyes or two consecutive 1's she returns to some point; I'm not sure if it's the beginning of the "zone" (read prefecture) or the start of the game in its entirety. She does have two dice now though....

Oh

Yesterday in biology class the "smart-guy" almost got into an argument about how plants acquire energy, with the biology teacher......the botanist with the doctorits. Not saying people don't make mistakes just that you'd be better off arguing about something that someone hasn't spent the greater part of their life researching and writting books about.

'Choose battles you will win and abandon those you will lose'

I think Sun Tzu said something like that.

Although

Found out I ain't gotta go to Arizona state university for extra classes however it might be a nice to go anyway. That is where I was born. I could try and find the house. I just remember I was w "court" or something.

Ugh.

Why do I leave the house without my camera?

つっ-

I can't take business classes towards my associates. May end to taking an art class.

Back in the day

I remember when I could get these for like fifty cents a piece. Cost me $2.25 today.

Some one told me to make it....

釜バターうどん

It took me about an hour to find out what the name of this dish was even though it was plastered all over the screen and they said it like 14 times.... Then it was a good while later, a bit of poking and prodding until I got some semblance of a recipe.

The stuff is called 釜バターうどん (かまバターうどん/kamabataa udon/buttered iron-pot(kettle) udon(noodles) and it’s an very simple dish.



You will need (exact measurements):
Bonito shavings (Dried fish flakes) or あげ玉(あげたま, agetama(tenkatsu))
A pinch or two of roasted sesame seeds
A small green onion green onion
A spoon or two of soy-sauce
A hefty crack nail of butter
An egg or two or whatever
Udon noodles

To prepare the dish you’ll need to perform the following tasks mostly in parallel or quickly

0. Flash boil the udon noodles.
1. Chop the green onion into small rings, you can use the whole things
2. Give the sesame seeds a light go over, or two, in the mortar with the pastel
3. Drain the noodles, drop them in cold water, swirl once or twice, drain the noodles, put them in a bowl.
4. Get a bit of butter, not even half a table spoon more around a clean teaspoon, toss it in a corner of the bowl.
5. Sprinkle the bonito, sesame seeds, and onions over the noodles ‘n butter.
6. Yeah boy!
7. Crack the egg over the noodles.
8. Take a picture
9. Pour the soy sauce on that.
10. Mix.
11. Eat.

Unless the noodles were left to sit they should have just enough heat to melt that small amount of butter.
You might have extra broth/sauce stuff. You can mix that with rice, and eat.

Goodbye tomorrow and hellow yesterday

We have finally reached the end of Saki's journey.



Aw, yeah....good times good times indeed. It has been a fun trip but the end is here, our trip is over.. These past few months have been interesting and, looking back we've seen new and interesting things, none of which I will go into in any detail about.

However all is not lost as there will be a THIRD season!

And what?

"It could be worse" is what a lot of people say a lot of the time. And they're right; a lot of the time it could be a lot worse. And though I've seen worse and know of worse and felt worse all of that was then and there and all of this is here and now. And, any way, it isn't any good. Even though nothing is really wrong.

Sweet and sour spicy Korean chicken

With rice and gomaae. Had taroko yesterday but I forgot it syn home today.

aw

I've got my plan all....planned out....but the more I think about it the more impossible it seems. Not loosing sight of my goal, loosing faith in my ability to reach it.

あら？何これ？

Oh.

I put some of my project outlines under my development journal.

Okonomi yaki.

Waiting for class to start.

A murder hole

You go down there because some one took you down there.

I made two of each.

Left: Fish on a bed of rice covered by a sheet of nori, two rice balls, and kimchi sandwiches.
Right: Chicken on a bed of rice covered by a sheet of nori, two rice balls, and tamagoyaki.

Popcorn lobster rolls.

Scallops

Remind me to pickup some Japanese mayonese

Fw: Laundry Day.

Only a few more days until classes start. I want to ace this semester and all those following. Maybe be an honors student or whatever. That would be nice.

!

Today I made "Cutie Giri"

あ！

も〜本当にどもありがとうございますかめんよそもの

So...What now?

I’ve stepped down from my development position and will be asking to be put on part time status so I can devote more time to school. I feel like I have made a mistake with the company but at the same time I feel like I’ve made a good decision for myself.

So I got a watch, mostly because I didn’t have one. It’s a little 20USD~ Casio.I’ve also gotten a tether for my phone. Most of my important things are strapped to me. My keys are on a chain and my phone is on some kind of nylon or whatever string. All of this is to help me not lose them. I think I have Alzheimer. Every so often, when I go to leave the house I’ll get yanked by the chain and I’ve left my phone at work more times than I want to count. The things I put in my hands often are the ones that get put down and lost. I mostly use my phone to tell time so maybe with the watch I can wean myself from it.

I’m going to start walking and riding the bus again. I hope I can make it to work. It’s been a few months since I’ve walked that far....

Google maps is nifty. I was able to sync it with my Berry and ThunderBird. I put all of my classes there and I can put my to do lists there as well. Today I used it to make a paperless shopping list. I’m green.

Now that I’ve done what I’ve done regarding work I have to figure out what to do about classes. Right now I’m taking 13 credit hours divided between 5 classes. Is that too much or too little? I don’t know...o＜＼＿

あ、見ましたか？My layout is different. Most things don’t work but I’ll slowly put things down as time goes by. Today one of the neighbors puppies managed to wiggle out through the window and spent a good hour or so crying outside until I let it come hang out with me. It was nice, so nice to have a dog in the house for the full 30 minutes it was here. I want a pup.

Pink!

ピンクです〜

Should probably get back to work...

Ugh.

Book cost like 30USD, I could have printed this out myself.......

...

This shouldn't be this hard... I don't know what to do with myself anymore.....

まだまだ

I watch this show where some tv/internet personality runs around living off dice rolls.
The rules are pretty simple, she gets a six sided dice and rolls it at a certain time.
Depending on what comes up she a few bucks based off of the number of comments on select blog posts of hers....

• 1: They take any and all money she has aquired up until now.


• 2: She gets $comments * 0.1 (i.e $comments = 3,000; $comments * 0.1 = equals 300; ¥300 = $3.15, €2.21)


• 3-5: She gets $comments * 1 (i.e $comments = 3,000; $comments * 1 = equals 3000; ¥3,000 = $31.53, €22.11)


• 6: She gets $comments * 10 (i.e $comments = 3,000; $comments * 10 = equals 30000; ¥30,000 = $315.39, €221.10)

(Convert that: 30,000JPY in: EURO, USD, AUD, CAD)

Today she got a 6! with 6050 comments, that's 600USD~ They didn't have enough money to give her so they gave her an I.O.U. while o'l-boy went to the A.T.M.
However if I recall correctly I've seen her win big and loose it all the next day. She is pro at orz. It's a pretty interesting show.

ごぞんじでしたか？もっといっぱいブログを得ています！
Jumping on the blog-bandwagon full steam. I’ve gotten more than one blog for me not to write on/in.
layouts for them aren’t done yet they will be later on....much later....
I’ll have to get around to using a bunch of API’s and such but here they are:

• http://aggijp.blogspot.com/ 私のブログの日本語！I'll be putting my Japanese language blog here


• http://aggiko.blogspot.com/ My Korean Blog, I don't speak korean. My korean language blog will be here


• http://aggisp.blogspot.com/ mi blog de español, I can speak a bit of spanish and will soon be taking classes, my spanish language blog will be here.


• http://aggidev.blogspot.com/ My dev blog, I'll put fixes to problems I come accross here!

Not a whole lot on any of them at the moment and that'll probably be so for a good long while but there will be things there...eventually...

Snow cones!

I had a snow cone today, perhaps this would be best described as a snowbowl though. It has been years since I have had one. Was nice nostalgic

I have relized that: since I've vowed to go out more. I have stayed in more, that's not how it is supposed to work....

I've been thinking of making this private.

Anxious about class, I have 4 classes that take up 5 days. My previous free time will soon be gone. I learned about procrastinating. All of the early birds got most of the distance learning classes(internet courses) and I only got one of my potential two. I hope I can make it through the semester. Then I can probably get state aid, that is free and often covers all classes. Pretty nice.

Hm.

I’ve decided that I don’t want to hit 30 without a degree. I’m 25 now...24? 24 or 25, one of the two. And I have been doing pretty well, but not well enough for me. Over the next 4 years I want to dedicate my life to school. I’ve started on that but I am only taking the minimum to be a full time student(12 credit hours(4 classes)) I want to more but the question is can I do more ? And of that I’m not sure. I know I am not very capable person and need to do what I can do the best that I can, or at least well enough.
Since I wasn’t permitted into the local university because of my retarded GPA I have to go to the local community college (read: trade school) to increase my GPA however I figure if I go there and get a 2 year degree then I can use that as a bases. I’ll end up taking the majority of my core classes at the community college anyway; they’re cheaper there....
But can I work a full-time time-intensive job and go to school full time? I’m not sure, we’ll see.

I’d like to be in a band:

They have something I don’t though: skill.

I’d probably:

( ò .ó)-何???? I want one-(°o ° )

Maybe I could sing? I don’t have any training or singing practice but I can hold a tune. How hard could it be:


Huh...

All I need now is to grow my hair out, get a white robe, start pop-locking it wherever I go, and I’ll be set!

Looks like Japan is having a hard time keeping it’s peeps from offing themselves and it isn’t so much the elderly but those in their early and mid thirties, the working range of people. Depression may be directly proportional to someones feeling of self worth. Also seems that more people are dying than being born
Don’t know if that’s in seconds, hours, days, years, what though.

I need to find time to get ahead in Spanish. I took a few classes in high school but never really “wanted”can’t learn something you don’t want to and didn’t want to at the time, are things different now? I think so.

I’ve signed up for the kanji-a-day level 4 list. And I’ve realized that I know most/all of the rules that come to me from the yookoso daily grammar lvl 4 list so I’ve added level 3!

I went out of my way to get this retard a friend so he wouldn't be all kinds of on-all-fours-sad but they don't even hang out.

There are even two fish in there, I want to get four but we'll see how well these do. I'm kind of afraid the frogs might eat them since they're so little. I asked everyone involved not to eat anyone because I'd feed them properly but we'll see how well that works. Savages never listen.

I cooked, I think I leveled up. Learned how to use an empty jar of furikake to make rice balls.
Rice balls, eggs, fish, and shrimp.....It was alright.


So no, I didn't get a giant snake to live with my liddle frog...Tomorrow I'll getteded more frog and a few fish.
