• I’ve been studying Japanese pretty diligently. I have consulted my handy dandy online J-E dictionary at least 10x today.  I also completed the process of enabling Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope) to type in Japanese.  It’s quite satisfying, even if I can only say things like とうふすきです。(I like tofu.) and べんとうとてもすきです。(I really like Bento.) so far…. it’s something, and I know I’m learning a lot along the way. While having a ball, even. ^_^
• Also related to learning Japanese is learning about Japanese culture…tonight it was specifically the culture of otaku (おたく).  Even more specifically, I read up on ‘moe’.  I’m not quite understanding it, but I was just told by my good Otaku friend that I am well on my way to becoming an Otaku myself.  This is probably both good and bad.
• I am moving soon, from no room, to LOTS of room (woohoo!) and a porch.  I am really excited about this for a lot of reasons, but tonight especially excited because I was planning my porch garden!  I need to research all the plants still, but if they all work in pots, I would like to do tomatoes, cucumbers and/or cabbage. I also have plans for the start of an herb garden.  For that I want to do garlic, chives, sprouts and cilantro. I have pots for the herbs already. I have a couple of bigger pots too, but I’m not sure if they’re quite big enough or not. I will update when I find out whether any of that will work or not.  I also did a bit of looking around on the site You Grow Girl. The pictures are very inspiring to me! They’re so pretty, and not in the ground! Very inspiring for a wannabe porch garden grower.
• My gmail inbox got a good scrubbing tonight; I wanted to do my bookmarks too, but it’s late, and the task is daunting. Maybe tomorrow (<–    あした; I gotta practice what I know, right?).

My lids are getting heavy, my brain fuzzy. Will update some more another time.  Good night!  Jaa ne!  じゃあね！
