Definitely need to watch the German at night. That's a habit I can't afford to get into.

Note to self: Read over this later and pay attention. Kiki pasted me a motivational poster this morning that had movie!Ivan Vanko on it and the caption "Russkii, motherfucker, do you speak it?" which led to me wanting to make an icon to that effect and then a brief discussion of what the Russian for 'motherfucker' would be, both literally/grammatically and semantically. Which lead to that link. And now my brain is trying to translate that into other languages. So far I've got Spanish and French and I'm working on Japanese. I'm not sure I want to google for rude kanji, but it might be hilarious. Expect icons to that effect oh god. Kiki, want an icon with Oscar on it that says that?

Seriously, I've got Spanish, French, probably German, and Japanese eventually down, and we're working on Russian, anyone else want to volunteer "[Language], motherfucker/language equivalent, do you speak it?" in [language]? This is almost as much fun as "Oh god, there's an axe in my head."

Ghetto Spanish rice was made even more ghetto by basically being a can of Hunts' chili tomato sauce, rice, and water. I think actually next time I won't use the chili tomato sauce, because the spices were slightly... my taste buds associate them with chili. But someone else's taste buds might not! Anyway, it's good enough to eat the rest, which means it's in my bento today. And fruit-and-nuts, and something else. Blargh. Did not get enough sleep last night, and somehow still managed to get all my exercises done. And my Russian. And be almost ready to go on time. I managed to solve the stretching dilemma by going back to my yoga program and making a routine. It's still a bit awkward because the volume is so soft it makes the cues almost inaudible, but I may solve that problem by just attaching it to my clothes.

Aaand then I splurged on Battlestar Galactica, because it was in the Gold Box deal and I've been meaning to watch it anyway, and I still had gift certificate money. Not anymore! Right. Really going now.

Also, why is Gibbs suddenly in my head being my physical trainer? Make him stop.

No, Jag, stop screwing around and do your damn Japanese.

I think what I may do at this point is look ahead or in the other book for some exercises that deal with grammar points I remember more clearly and also use the plain present form of verbs so that I can practice this. Because I'm running out of sentences and I'd really like to get the construction of this form down.

Spanish rice did NOT need to be in the big box (I'm actually finding it hard to find things that do need to be in the big box, maybe because I eat more small meals than any one big meal?) but at least it's good cold? So I can leave it on my desk and just sort of nibble. Still have a crapton of stuff to get done today, but first, some bento note-taking.

What? I can write bentou in kanji if I want. :)

Right. Packing stuff in a blitz attack because after I do that then I can do writing stuff, and this is my last day to get all that done. Well, except for maybe a couple hours tomorrow, but still.
