Well, this is a pain in the ass.

To answer the question в каком году use в followed by the prepositional case of the ordinal number, plus году (which is a special prepositional case form of год).

В каком году вы были в Европе?
Мы там были в две тысячи первом году.

If the year is a compound number, only the last word in the number will have the prepositional adjectival ending. If the context makes the century clear, the 18 or 19 may be omitted. For the 21st century this is not so.

Also, this section would be SO MUCH EASIER if they'd given us numbers in the first place.

(В тысяча девятьсот) двадцать первом году, тридцать втором году, сорок третьем году, шестьдесят пятом году, семьдесят шестом году, восемьдесят седьмом году, девяносто восьмом году, девяносто девятом году.

(В две тысячи) первом году, втором году, третьем году, четвёртом году, пятом году, шестом году, седьмом году, восьмом году, девятом году, десятом году.

(В тысяча восемьсот, тысяча девятьсот, две тысячи) десятом году, двадцатом году, тридцатом году, сороковом году, пятидесятом году, шестидесятом году, семидесятом году, восьмидесятом году, девяностом году. В двухтысячном.

It'd really make things so much easier if they'd go over the numbers in one of the first few lessons. It's not like they don't have quick-review stuff type in the back of the book, they could keep that in the back of the book, but I'm on lesson ten, they haven't covered learning any of the numbers cardinal or ordinal, and now I'm having to figure all that stuff out. Argh.

Did, in fact, manage to sort out the desk area, yay! Which means tonight I think will be the bedroom, that, at least, will be easier. And tomorrow night will be the junk room, when I don't have to get up and go anywhere the next morning. Guh. And then we will have a mostly to entirely clean apartment! Hey, I'm already pretty stoked that I have bookshelves and room to put everything in the apartment finally. Look! Look at me put my Russian book back on its bookshelf instead of on the stack of books by the rest of my study materials! Ohh I love it. I love it good.

Did some bills today that have been sitting in my bag for a couple of days because my brain is so scattered I forgot about them. So there's that. Not looking forward to all the fucking traveling I'm going to have to do in May. I don't mind the events I'm going to themselves, one I'm very much looking forward to, but the traveling? UGH. Stupid damn security requirements and cramped seating and checked bag fees and can't carry water on board with you and all that other crap. Do not like or want. Still kind of bugged about Rorschach too, more so now that I've re-read and re-watched. "Putting them on, I became myself. Free from fear, or weakness, or lust." See? His ideal self does not include lust. No sexing up Rorschach for you. Christ, isn't his character dark enough without adding that? I still liked the idea of forcing tenderness on him, though. That kind of amuses me.

Anyway. Shoes and socks and jeans and recording Spanish for Kiki before I go. At least it's brighter and sunnier out than it was earlier, I can actually walk without fear of getting rained on. I've got my eye on you, weather. (No, I lie, the rain would actually be good, it's just I don't want to walk in it.)
