A summary of my life:

fandom: Battlestar Galactica. Yes. Not generally a fan of spaceship/robot things, but I'm into it, very deeply; i.e. have had far too many BSG related dreams!! And use 'frak' in conversations. There's also this house I pass that now looks like a Cylon raider to me. Creepy! Also watching season 2 of Sarah Connor Chronicals. More robots??

work: have left the bakery and am selling furniture at Archipelego living. Yay for idulging interests in design!! My head is overwhelmed with all the newness though...I hate having to pay for bread now. *angsts*

uni: deep into my research project on the dominant methods used to teach kanji. Am loving this project as I get to obsessive-compulsivly organize kanji textbooks into catagorizes that make them managable. Also, I have at least 70% of Perth's kanji textbooks stuffed in my tiny bedroom...

nano: will write a novel version of one of my short stories. Vel would remember it from our writing class a few years ago: Night/Snow. But there's something missing in the plot... So I've been reading a lot of scifi lately for inspiration.

Tis all for the next few months! *cough* Am such a lazy blogger, though I read my friends page obsessivly...

I would like to come out of hibernation to announce that I have discovered a new talent. I can determine the approximate word count of a word document just by looking at it.

*cough* useful? Maybe. Will it stop me from being obessivly attatched to the word check tool during Nano? Highly unlikely.

And on that topic, to celebrate my first year of nano with a debit card, I finally purchased something from their store: a coffee thermas. Will not drink out of it until November. I'll just stare at it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: while I was getting a blood test today I saw a vial labeled "JOHN CONNOR" and had myself a fangirl squee.

Why yes, I AM watching the Sarah Connor Chronicals, and, yes, I'm enjoying it. NO, it's not just because of Summer Glau.


*cough*yesitis*cough*

Ok, so I may have missed the last MILLION episodes of Tsubasa RC, but seriously W.T.F. is going on?!?! I'm just saying, this crazy story was crazy enough without all these twisted plot twists!

(Though, admittedly, I'm probably just a little confused from having to catch up with all this from Wikipedia.)

And I don't know why, but hearing that by canon law, CCS Sakura and Li DO in fact get together and have a child makes me a little sad. Like, I fangirled over CCS so much I just wanted it to be a fond memory...not have anything added to it...

*giggle* BTW, I squealed in fangirlish delight this morning when I saw a number plate with CCS in it!! Ha, I'm such a geek!!

To end this crazy speal...I wonder if it's true about Fai becoming a vampire...mmmm...that could be good...

GREAT news.
Just found out that of the people who took JLPT l2 in Japan, only 37% passed. Outside Japan, only 27%. !!!!! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND IT REALLY, REALLY HARD AND THUS FAILED.

Though, to be fair, I knew it would be hard and didn't expect to pass. But, I'm pretty sure these stats are harsher than usual, so it WAS a hard test.

...

I BOUGHT A CAR TODAY, YEAH BABY!!!!!!!





Now if I could just get my licence...
^^;

My JPLT results should be arriving any day now... It would be a pleasant suprise if I've passed, but I'm not expecting it. I just really hope I get over 50%, cause even though my study was pretty messy, I did try really hard, so. I think that even if I did pass, I would take it again. There's so much level 2 stuff I'm not comfortable with yet.

In other news, my ears are still blocked from seeing a band at the pub last night. It's weird. And the concert was SO dirty, it was hot and there was beer flying everywhere, and I got elbowed in the head. But it's a really good band (British India), so it was worth it...

In other OTHER news, I am entering a period of severe LOST fangirling with the new season, but actually, I have yet to see season 3, so I am backtracking to that. YAY!
