Idag är tisdag.
Which is about as much learning/practice that I got today. I'm also watching Higurashi: When The Cry on Hulu (for Hulu is one of my gods), but, alas, the animé is the English DUB.
Which makes this mostly a fail post.

Report 001
Today, I ignored the fact that I was supposed to finish a book for English and jumped onto Hulu. I watched the latest for Scrubs - and used Spanish closed captioning, which makes it all a learning experience. (Yeah...) And then I jumped over to Destination: Bollywood, which is an up-and-coming Bollywood American Idol sort of thing. I mean, they have their own, but this one is hosted in America and it's low-budget... but very educational for Hindi learners. (Or people that really like music ._.;)
Then, because I'm not swamped in emails enough as it is, I set up a thing on a linguistic community (link to come later) that lists International artists in one post - for neatness. And since I made it, I have to work with it. It's rather fun ~ I even learned a new term: Nederpop (Dutch popular music). I didn't know that term existed, because I assumed Europe's pop all went under Europop. And then there's JPOP and KPOP that I can recall, and just pop here in America.
Old habits die hard also today. I tried watching an episode of an animé today- デュラララ・ Durarara. Not sure if I like it - but hearing the familiar babble in Japanese was relaxing. A friend referred me to the site so I could watch Weiss sometime (and, therefore, understand her fanfiction)*
Well, the site has a sister site that hosts Japanese dramas, and let's just say:
I wonder if those dramas will become my next addiction? This is totally not a waste of my time - It's all about the Immersion and the Japanese and I'm totally learning things. Sure...
And, hey, do you see my Japanese kana writing? I'm fairly certain that the second bit doesn't read as "I love... Kimi Wa Petto!!" but you can't blame a girl for trying. And she will. Now that she's figured out how to convert her keyboard into the IME Japanese input system. (It's fabulous) My keyboard, otherwise, is entirely in International setting, dates and all. It's so... lovely.
See you lovelies later! =(-.^)=

*I'm amused by the mere fact that Flagfox says the website is from the Netherlands. First that, then Nederpop? I see a trend...

This is My Blog
This is my blog, and I'm mad enough to believe someone will want to follow it. :]
As an American, I felt extremely sheltered to the rest of the world. So I'm going to catalog on two separate topics:
(1) Culture - and what I learn
(2) Languages - and how far I'm progressing in them
Culture posts will be absolutely random, but the languages may be contained with the ones that I'm actually learning~ Spanish, Swedish, Italian, Japanese and Hindi. (Didn't I say I was mad?) And whilst I am showing off, I'm sure you will learn a few things yourself :]
Onward!
