Work with a partner. Ask your partner what he/she often did in high school. Then ask whether he/she still does the same things.

A: こうこうの　とき　よく　なにをしましたか。
B:そうですね。よく　ともだちに　てがみを　かきましたね。
A:いまも　よく　かきますか。
B:いいえ、　いまは　あまり　かきません。いそがしいですから。

高校のときよく何をしましたか。
よく友だちと電話で話しましたね。
今もよく話しますか。
いいえ、　今はあまり電話で話しません。インテルネト話しますから。

高校のときよく何をしましたか。
よく友だちと出かけましたね。
今もよく出かけますか。
いいえ、あまり出かけません。忙しいですから。

高校のときよく何をしましたか。
よく勉強しましたね。
今もよく勉強しますか。
はい、よく勉強します。日本語とロシア語が勉強します。And here is where I would say because I’m a baby courtesan but I haven’t yet figured out how to translate that into Japanese, which probably would have a nuanced expression for it.

Tomorrow, wall o' kanji!


Oh! Something I forgot to mention this morning. The hawk is back! And evidently none the smarter. It sat in blue jay territory. Whereupon the blue jays took turns in correcting it of this grievous error. The poor thing looked deeply harassed, but I imagine the blue jays felt more harassed at having a bigass interloper in their territory.

... Oh my god, Jim Butcher just tweeted me twice. Like, I had a mini conversation with Jim Butcher. This makes me squeeful.

... Three times. THREE. TIMES. I about had a fangirl heart attack and died! (And then I did my Japanese like a good little girl, because Jim told me to.)

Ahem. Breathing. Remembering to breathe. Squee! Jim Butcher twittered me three times! Three! Times! Squee!

Care package sent. Other package sent, minus dress because I am a dingbat and forgot to grab it when I left this morning. I will grab it either tomorrow morning or (possibly more likely) put it in my satchel over the weekend and then bring it Monday and ship it then. Because I am a dingbat who can't remember stuff. I still have a blanket at home that's a baby blanket sample for a kit we sell, that I took home to finish sewing the binding on and never actually remembered to take back in. I should do this Monday, too.

Care package sent, UPS shipping gone, bills paid. I has paycheck! Which means after I finish wicking I should run up to the bank and deposit that sucker. I will say, my Japanese is getting smoother both to type and to think in; I'm remembering more, and it's kind of nice. Russian is getting easier to read although I still have vocab flubs although! If vocab is one of my biggest problems right now, a) that's relatively easy to solve if kind of time consuming and b) it means I'm retaining more of the grammar and structure and rules and things. German, as always, is just weird. I have very little idea of how I'm doing in German. Probably well. Possibly just screwy.

Ugh. Thinking of something. Thinking of something. I can't think of anything else, which means it's time to get down to writing. And think of what I want to cook for dinner tonight, which, fortunately we have some chicken already cut up and ready. That was a minor bit of panic/irritation. Needs moar meat foodstuffs. Ah well. Writings happen now. Because Jim Butcher said so.

Squee!
