kittydesadeOKAY, JAG. Enough screwing around. Back to your languages. No matter how damn tired you are tonight, back to your languages. You do not get fluent if you do not do the work. And you enjoy it, and you do feel better afterward.
いくつ or おいくつ is often used instead of 何さい, as in the previous example sentences.
番目 （ばんめ） converts cardinal numbers into ordinal numbers, and is used to describe one's order in the family, as in:
一番上: the oldest (literally the first from the top, the highest)
上から 二番目: the second oldest (literally the second from the top, the second highest)
まん中: right in the middle
下から 二番目: the second youngest (literally the second from the bottom, the second lowest)
一番下: the youngest (literally the first from the bottom, the lowest)
~は ~が ある/いる is used to express one's ownership.
~を もっている in Chapter 8 also indicates ownership. However, もっている is used for concrete inanimate objects such as a car or a bag. ~は ~が ある/いる can be used for people, animals, or abstract things.
Mmph. Rules only, those next three exercises ... five exercises are all group or partner exercises and I need more brainpower to come up with ones that don't involve real existing groups or partners.
The boy took me to the Japanese steakhouse Ichiban tonight. Because he is an awesome boyfriend even when he doesn't know I have had the day from hell. He also bought me (all?) four issues of House of Mysteries trade paperbacks as compensation for not punching the dogfucker in the face. No, I'm not going to elaborate. Except that the man has already been kicked out of one gamestore for conduct unbecoming a gentleman and I avoid going to game stores he'll be at if I can. He irritates me that much, in physical person.
My legs hurt. My back hurts. I got in to work and did the mail pretty leisurely, then waited for UPS. And UPS brought me 60 pounds of yarn that, for a general estimate, usually comes in 4 oz skeins. That I had to check in and label. And then parcel out because that was ten or twelve orders right there that we'd ordered for, and that took up a good two hours. And then I had to pack boxes like a mofo because we already had about 10 orders to pick and there's a whole rant about a co-worker here that I'm not making either because I'm tired, but basically after I was done with that it was about 1.30, I hadn't had lunch yet, I and I still had to pick about 10 or more orders and pack them and run papers and labels by 3.45 pm. Yay. Thank god for the Beej. Still, we managed to get it all out. And THEN I got to sit down and do customer service emails long enough to stiffen up before I unloaded the shipping boxes that had also arrived that day. A bundle of about 25 boxes weighs anywhere between 10 and 20 pounds. I was schlepping about ten, twelve? More? Sizes of boxes, so... yeah, I don't have teh brain to math anymore, you do it.
All this by way of telling you how fucking tired I am. I hurt. I can't complain too much, I am gainfully employed, but god I hurt.
Stuff. Things. If it's quiet tomorrow at work I might actually be able to take some time to call up Asus and deal with my damn netbook. I miss having my netbook at work. I miss being able to look at things or check languages or write or just listen to my own damn music. I suppose, though, now that I'm knitting, I can do that when it's slow. Not that it's likely to be slow before January. Life in retail.
Murdock-kitten continues to be clingy. Someday he will allow me to be on the laptop and not ram his head into my chin like a very tiny brawler. Until that day, I get to amuse all my friends on chat with abruptly breaking into current discussion to type MURDOCK GET YOUR ASS OUT OF MY FACE. Ah, the glamorous life of a kitty mommy.
... Speaking of Murdock, I haven't heard him around in a while. Uh-oh.
Oh, does anyone have a favorite hat knitting pattern for a Jayne hat? I figure if I'm going to start making hats I might as well start with that one.
