Each year, I'll try to learn how to say it in a new language.

I wonder if I'll really have the time, the patience, or the wherewithall to really take conversational Japanese this year. I might. My love affair with languages began a long, long time ago and I've never really gotten over it.

Not that that's either here nor there, nor is it particularly interesting, but what can I tell you? I watched my first Bebop of the new year with lostinapapercup today; as far as I'm concerned it was a day late. Heh. Time to petition CN to put it back on the rotation.

Our power outage lasted about six hours yesterday. Not too bad, all things considered. I also can't wait to have our house back again. This last month is going to inch by. I'm thinking that we'll have to move out about when Mitch's next business trip is scheduled. If it works out that way, I'll have to stay in the hotel with Hannah, just the two of us. I think I can handle that. Realistically, if it was just the two of us we could bring sleeping bags to work and stay over there. Heh. That'd be something. I'm not so sure I'd like that.

But there is a light at the end of the remodeling tunnel, and then we can slowly reclaim our house, and that will be that, and we'll be poor forever but have a lovely new kitchen.

I could go on a long drawn-out thing right here right now about why Cowboy Bebop is one of the best shows ever to be on television, but I'll bore you all silly. Or at least most of you. So instead, I'll just link to Spike & Beth's latest Venusian adventure for those of you who want to read a sample of my RP writing. Hope you enjoy it. (I suppose I should be polite and tell you there might be spoilers in here for Vertigo Comics' Y, The Last Man Issue #40.)

Just wandering in to share a paragraph from my journal of today:

Whilst wandering through the graphic novels area yesterday who should come right into my line of vision? Why it was sit_good_dog 's friend, Spike. So, of course, I pick it up and try to read it/skim through it to see what all the excitement over Cowboy Bebop is (and because I have yet to see it on tv). Okay, why can't people explain things to me like I'm four? I had no idea until my step-d pointed out to me that you're supposed to read it backwards (cuz the book opens "backwards" too). I didn't get too far...but just so you know there, Lady N, you were thought of yesterday 'round noon , in case your nose was itching. ;)

Hope you had a happy new year!!!

Spike says: "Hey. Put down the damn book and watch the show."

Then he goes off to kill a few guys ("don't die on me!") and have a smoke ("Shit, there goes the bounty.").
