Spring Break

Well, I'm ready for spring break now. yesterday was a wild wednesday. two tests and a super-face paced lecture on the heart. I think my teacher was talking as fast as a pacemaker cell depolarizing! It was crazy. but, it was nice to get that all done and over with. today and tomorrow's going to be relaxing.

so, yeah, that's all. people out there are probably thinking "what kind of post is that?! we don't care about school and silly tests! we want randomness!"

okay, here's randomness: I bought a half-pint carton of chocolate milk, exactly like the ones I used to have for lunch in elementary and middle school. It was fun drinking it. And it was cheap. only 39 yen. It was great.

I finished the last book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Awesome! And it left me in that familiar void of "Now what? What do I do after an ending like that?" but, I solved that in picking up "Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians" figured I could get caught up with those books. but, yeah, for all you out there who haven't read the Percy Jackson books (a.k.a. The Lightening Theif) I highly recommend them. they're really good. And: don't judge a book by its movie.

the movie was nothing like the book. It was just a scratch of the plot line.

so, yeah, I'm done now. Time to see if my teacher posted questions. I like answering questions. (not!)

And that was some good advice from the Elvish Pirate Gypsy: You can't run away from your own two feet. Wise words!

toodles!

Snow craziness

Hello Jekka Jones, this is America!

I feel like doing a post, but I don't know what so I'll fall back on the good ol' weather approach.

Besides my cousins coming down and spending the night as they were on their way to Zion's *jealous growl* it was quite the interesting day. I got up in the morning, had breakfast and went to institute. As i was walking to institute, it was a really nice morning except for the super strong wind blowing from the south and a big ominous dark cloud creeping over the mountains. It was actually quite pretty. The sun was on the verge of being covered by the clouds, but it still shot out a sunbeam through a little indent. I wish I had a picture of it. It was really cool.

then, within twenty minutes (I was well and comfortable in my class) it all erupted into a blizzard of the Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend's white bugs which last until 1:00. Then the clouds disappeared, taiyou-sama came out, and the two inches of snow melted away. Now it's a beautiful day and hardly any snow on the ground.

So, yeah, it was a cool day. coolio enough, it stopped snowing by the time I was walking home from classes. so that was nice.

I watched gakeno ueno ponyo. It was cute, but I really wanted to watch it in nihongo. Alas, I was watching it on our TV and the DVD remote has been lost for many months. so. . I watched it in english. It was cute, but I was dying to watch it in nihongo. especially because I kept translating it into nihongo in my head. And, when it came to the awesome theme song I was dying to hear, it was in english! yeah, I was bummed. I'm going to watch it in nihongo next time. most definitly!

well, America reporting out! Catch ya later Jekka Jones!

(I wonder how many people will get that. . . .)

FOUND

Found: Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend

Circumstances: a shiney sword and strawberry cheesecake WITH the strawberries

Place: my house

Events leading up to finding: a wedding, emails, and a phone call made in a hospital

current status: URESHII!!!!

So, yeah, last weekend was lots of fun. My cousin got hitched, I found my fiend, and saw a really good movie called Blind sight (site? something like that) with Sandra Bullock. I also watched Princess Mononoke. eigo de mitandesu. zannen. shitsurei sareta!

but, I got an email from my companion, hamada shimai. I was happy. she was one of my favorite companions. then again, all of my favorite companions were my nihonjin ones. nihonjin wa saikou desu! banzai!

but, yeah, that's about it. the wedding was really nice. my cousin got sealed for time and all eternity at the Manti temple. that's a really pretty temple. I like going to the old temples, they really do have a special feel to them. these temples are huge, but they were built by the sweet and blood of the early saints. no machines, cranes, or computers helped in building these temples. It was all man labor. And you can feel how sacred they are. They truly are special places on earth.

So, I'll make a brief comment before I scurry back home to work on homework: I really like those Percy Jackson and the Olympian books. They're very good, and lots of fun. It's like a fun review of greek mythology and I'm learning more about it. Lots of fun.

and I can't smash two chapters into one but I'm fixing some parts to make the beginning better in my opinion. then I'll have to keep the typing going. gotta finish typing it so I can get other stories going.

well, that's all.

*poof*

This page is in Japanese. Translate using GoogleToolbar!

So, in an attempt to maintain insanity in a college officially devoid of nihonjin (japanese people), I have changed my gmail account so that it is in nihongo. It's not hard to navigate. I understand quite a lot of the kanji. When I say understand I mean that I don't know how to read it correctly but I understand the meaning. For example I think the "send" button is "tenshin" but when I plug it in to my awesome little white demon denshi jisho. . .

boop bleep blawp

it turns out to be "soushin". But, I understood the kanji characters so it was no problem before. but now I can read it! kampai! *smashes glass of water into air*
Drink water it makes you happy!

So, I just thought it was funny that google keeps badgering me that my email account is in Japanese. As if some crazy person logged on and changed the language settings and I am utterly incapable of changing it back. Oh wait. . .a crazy person did do it.

*insane cackle*

but, I'm currently in limbo right now. I just finished reading The Lightening Theif. I give it 5 stars. I'm going to see the movie tomorrow with my roommate. I'm debating whether I like the new addition to Samurai or not (I'm currently in the process of taking two chapters and smashing it into one. My only concern is that I'm rushing it, but I think it's better than the first write-up. I have a knack to dilly-dadle too long in starting off the story). And with that change trying to make that fit in with the parts I do want to keep.

Whoever though that writing a story was as easy as eating ice cream never tried to take on a novel.

So, your latest update from Jekka Goaty Senoj chan.
sayo~nara!

*sneaky MANDI moment*
