The weekend is flying already. Yesterday, Paul and I took a trip up to Brattleboro, VT, where we met up with Dave & Ren, and had a lovely day exploring shops and enjoying a delicious dinner at India Palace. I picked up a tiny little book called Japanese in Thirty Hours, which promises great things. I took myself through the first lesson this morning, and can now point at Lucy and say, “This is a dog.” Very exciting.
Today, Paul will go hiking, and I will attempt to do some writing (with perhaps a bit of laundry on the side). I have a lot of ideas swirling around in my head, and I need to get them down before they flee.
Tomorrow I will be leaving the house before the crack of dawn to make it to NYC in time for auditions. We are booked solid (with a short lunch break) from 10-5, and we even have a waiting list, which is a very great thing, but makes for a long day. I will be lucky to make it back home by ten, at which time I intend to collapse on the couch with Lucy and anyone else who will join me. If I am still capable of speech at that point, I will point at her and say, “This is a dog.”
Happy weekend, folks!

(All I remember from Intro to Latin is how to say “The dog is in the street.” and “The dog is not in the street.”)

Been a long time. Hope you and Paul are well.

October 23, 2007 at 7:23 amIt *has* been a long time! And we are well! How are you? *Where* are you? What are you up to?
Sadly, even the amazing book does not think it can teach me to *read* Japanese in thirty hours. So you’d have to use romaji for me to even have a clue. :)

はい
Or (since I’m really only learning romaji at the moment): Hai!
