Misso misso, fighting in the Dojo!*

Misso misso, oriental friends in the land of soup!*

I have indeed just recently enjoyed a miso soup, brought in all the way from Sobey's in Toronto. I've managed to drag my ass outta bed before pm hours (though regetably not by much**), studied decently (I've finished reviewing the chapters and my notes, now all I have left is exercises galore and the utter fun of memorizing irregular verbs in the past tense), and watched two (!) episodes of Lost. In one Catch 22 Desmond was momentarily a jerk before his conscious got a hold of him, and then in D.O.C Sun was kick-ass the whole way through. There was much fist-pumping. Oh, and Juliette's "I'm honest, really, I am" constancy, no matter what side she's playing - if she is, as that - is still confusing as all. I'll give the episode trivia a quick lookaround.

Also, my old, faithful suitcase finally showed signs of wearing out, after over a decade of heavy use. So I got a new one over the holidays. Guess what happened after 10 minutes of dragging it along on? ( Ten-year warranty for ten-minutes use. )

And now, pronouns.

* The Soup Song, The Might Boosh
** Recovering from jetlag in this direction is harder, 'cause it's just an extension of the "stay up late and sleep in late" system which I so love.

Nederlands is niet moelijk.*

I'm still studying - albeit with much more procrasty-pauses - and I'm bored out of my mind.

So, memes. ( Read more... )

ETA: And of course, I misspell "Nederlands" on the first try.
ETA2: If I have to make a list of plurals one more time I will hurt a book. Not just any book, either. *glares at workbook*
ETA3: Die, past tense, die!!! (Also, maybe that headache I've been having is hunger-related? I don't seem to be eating enough. I brought a scale from my folks. These two facts are not related***.)


* "Dutch is not hard." Answer to 6.5i. Also, a lie.
** Terry Pratchett, o'course
*** Two which are related is my gasp**** of horror after weighing myself for the first time in 4 months and my reluctance to being a glutonous fool. I currently weigh n.8 (though over the holidays I'd see n+3, so I dunno what's what), and probably ought to weigh n-4. *sigh*
**** Originally spelt as "gask", which, if not a word already (it isn't), totally should be. There's gasket, though.*****
****** Why yes, I'm still bored.
