Lazyness

Yea so we're all back in Canada, and we were all to lazy to upload pictures and update the blog while we were there. So once I get my pictures(1.7gb worth) I'll either do an outdated blog thing. Or just upload to facebook, as that seems to be a better choice >_>

DS on plane

13 hours is a long flight. And 13 hours without having anything to do is even worse. So I tried to find out what kinda power source planes have and I got mixed results. Some people said they have those cigarette lights and others say they have none. So I figured the least I could do is get a cigarette lighter adapter charger, and I was meaning to make a usb charger for DS so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. 15$ later and some soldering and its done, and Its pretty good.

Just unplug it from USB cable and plug it into the cigarette lighter and thats all that has to be done to switch between the two. And it looks pretty pro too : >
Though I might have to redo the cigarette adapter cause i think there might be a short circuit or somethings acting up. Don't want my DS to catch on fire ^^; So now I can look forward to (possibly) 13 hours of pokemon. That is if I don't fall asleep.

Hiragana MKIII

I took a japanese course a few years ago, but I guess I wasn't too into it as I never got hiragana down when I took it, and once the class was going to be written in all hiragana, that would mean I wouldn't understand it. So I dropped out. But now that I look at it, it's pretty easy to learn it.
I could never remember anything but writing it down 500x, but once I found mnemonics(sp), it made it a lot easier, albeit some didn't work for me, I was able to pick up most of hiragana by using them. I'll post a couple of links that helped me a lot.

-A lot of the m'nonics here, I just didn't get. But it still helped.

-I'm lucky I found this site, just cause it helped a lot. I related to his stories (like remembering he, with his ski hill ;p) Although I'm lucky I found it when I did, because I have this itching feeling that it'll die any minute : s
4 pages and not that much repetition and i know most of the hiragana : D

Catchup MKII

I wanted to make this blog and actually update it, but I was lazy so here are the posts that were ment to be made but I didn't make.

Intro MKI


So I'm going to Japan in a bit, so I figured I'd make a blog for myself, and for anyone else who wants to look at it.
I'll try to cover as much as I can about everythign Japan, just cause I want to.
I tend to get unneccesarily wordy if i feel like it, so sorry for that in advance. Anyways thats that, so I guess I'll start posting.
