Which is actually a wall o' hiragana with some sprinkling of kanji. Translation to follow tomorrow. I'm a little pleased that I can pretty well read and comprehend all that almost off the bat. On the other hand, reading is one thing, writing/speaking is another. Context fills in a lot of blanks when you're reading, but trying to pull the words out of your head...

Practicing Spanish is filling me with ridiculous amounts of enthusiasm. I apologize in advance if this becomes obnoxious but I will try to keep anything that might be relevant to everyone in English, which I'm pretty sure everyone who has me friended speaks. You're welcome to follow along as I babble, bitch, and moan about practicing other languages in other languages. It's encouraged, even. If you need to practice your Spanish (or, eventually, French) you might find it helpful! You might just find it annoying.

Work work work. I'm not entirely sure that, if I get all of this work done right now, that I'll have time for editing afterwards, but I kind of hope so. I'm much less surly today, much more enthused about getting stuff done that I need to get done. This may also have something to do with fewer annoying/confusing/both phone calls, and more water and healthy eating. No, I've not been binging per se, but there's been more chocolate than there should have been. Also probably has something to do with the getting to bed early last night and actually getting to sleep when I went to bed since the boy was up glomping music or something. I'd almost missed getting real, recuperative sleep. Or at least, enough of it. Earlier bedtimes for the win, yo, I can't believe I've managed to keep it up this far.

Semi-randomly, I feel like I need a drabble challenge or something to write things about people in Spanish. Just a small drabble challenge, but I'm not sure what.

Mmm definitely feeling better, though. I like this whole feeling better thing. I could get used to this.

Dragon*Con people! Which is, I think, just one or maybe two of you right now, depending on who's reading this. The boy is poking at hotels as we speak, con hotels, so we'll have much much less far to travel. Also known as, downstairs. Let me know if you want to stay with us so the boy has a rough head-count for how many people to tell the hotel. It won't be cheap, but it won't be expensive either if we split. And with the boy and me sharing a room card most often anyway we can fit room cards+1 people into the hotel room. Or less, if we want to not be sardined. I even think I have my costumes planned. I think. I hope!
