1. I’m not feeling very energetic right now. Three hours of Japanese class just saps my strength some days.

2. I’ve re-discovered my Palm pilot. Actually it’s a Treo, which makes it a smart phone, only they don’t use the same cell phone system here, so in effect it’s just a a Palm pilot. But anyway, I found some Japanese-language apps and games online and have been making good use of it again for a change.

3. I’m trying to eat out less. And happily I found a taco-making kit at the import shop the other day. Mmmm, tacos… Not to be confused with “tako”, the Japanese word for octopus — which is also good, but probably not inside a tortilla shell with cheese and salsa.

4. I enjoy Japanese stationary.

5. I ordered a couple of CDs from the Japanese Amazon site Friday night, and had them by Sunday afternoon. Using the standard shipping option. This has never ever happened to me in all the times I’ve ordered stuff from the Canadian site. I’m not sure I’d get it that fast with express shipping even. I’m impressed.

6. I have more videos and photos on my cell phone to be posted online, but I can’t seem to beam them to my computer anymore. It worked before but now it won’t. Wakarimasen!

7. Prayer meeting is tonight at 7:30. I usually like prayer meeting, especially the praying part. But sitting through the Japanese teaching time can be tough, especially if I’m tired. Like now. Maybe I should make some tea…
