I've gotten on the track of learning japanese now, using my Let's Learn Hiragana book. So far I've learn to read and identify 4 out of 46 of the basic Hiragana and also sort of write them. A good start I find. :-) I feel this is now a real achievable goal me learning this rather beautiful language. If I keep up my studies this project of mine will be a success. I'll be keeping you posted on my progress. :-)
Apart from that I'm working a lot and is feeling rather good about my life in general. Sure I do have some low/dark moments but I overcome them by various means. Been reading a bit, gotten through volume 1 of the Berserk and Samurai Deeper Kyo manga. And is about to start book 2 of Timothy Zahn*s Thrawn Trilogy. Waiting on october 15th, then Brütal Legend a game I'm so stoked for comes out, 6ft cheeseburger erection type stoked (if you get that one you are a geek), AND I really hope they release the full soundtrack for it!
