Describe the pictures using the polite request form. (I hate describe the pictures exercises. Hate. They're all ambiguous.)
１．この　ネクタイを見せて下さい
２．この　せーターをとって下さい　/　見せて下さい
３．この　かばんを　つつんで下さい
４．この　はこに　くつを入れて下さい

And the rest is basically just repeating those same five verbs, so I'm going to do this a couple more times with all the verbs given. And maybe other verbs I know.
漢字を書いて下さい
このカセットを聞いて下さい
プールでおよいで下さい
日本語で話してください
水を飲んで下さい
この本を読んで下さい
この時計をつつんで下さい
家にかえって下さい
お風呂に入って下さい (especially at Dragon Con this is a good phrase to know. Ew.)
グレプを買って下さい
しょくひんうりばに行って下さい

Okay! So, that's done, and now I have a crapton of stuff to check in at work. Still. Finishing my grapes first. Hah, there's a phrase I should write in Japanese, please eat your vegetables.

I got part something or other of my Cheetara costume today: my yellow unitard. Which is actually a really damn good color for it! Now I just have to make sure it fits, which I could do here but will probably do at home anyway since it's a unitard. And at some point I need to make a list of all the parts of my costumes and, well, here is as good a place to do it as any. And then check them off to make sure I have them. Seriously you guys this is going to be so awesome I can't even begin to describe.

Started practicing my French again, and promptly realized that while my reading comprehension and listening comprehension is good, my ready vocabulary sucks the monkey's left testicle. And listening to and watching movies apparently only does so much because the vocab goes in one side of my brain and out the other instead of out of my mouth as it properly should. Which probably is something worth noting about the way brains work, or at least my brain works, but I can't be fashed to note it right now.

My life really isn't that exciting, you guys. Tonight, I think the plan is to ... let's see, I've tried the makeup, I am not walking around in 5" stripper heels until next week, thank you bad back muscles. I might walk around in the considerably lower Cheetara boots. Tonight is for trying on the unitard and probably just writing, no costume stuff required. Oh! Tonight is also for trying to match the gloves I have with the sleeves of the store-bought costume, because they're idiots and didn't do a leotard and gloves, just black vinyl sleeves. It's possible I can tear off the vinyl sleeves and pull up the gloves to up above where the yellow ends, but I don't know. It's also possible I can just sock glue the gloves up to the top of my arms under the black vinyl, but that would look considerably worse. Decisions. And experiments I will make tonight. Also, possibly, doing the blouse-bodice-skirt thing, but only if I can find my damn blouses in whatever box they're packed in. However, sewing a blouse is the work of about two hours, so that's no worries if I can't.

I'm really loving this whole going in costume aspect of Dragon Con. I can't even begin to tell you. I don't get to dress up often enough, although I suppose I could if I really wanted to, it's not like work has a dress code. It's just that for what I do it's often not practical. There's also something fun about going to cons in costume if you're not in a desperate hurry to get anywhere. Or if your schedule allows padding for having your picture taken, because, really. But last year a lot of people stopped me to get my picture. Double fun every time I saw a Comedian. Triple fun because one Comedian's wife was actually dressed as the first Silk Spectre on Saturday. Yes, that was made of awesome. He gave me a smiley button. It even had blood on it.
