What did you do today IN Japanese?

#51
Read thank-you-note attached to a payment (for a translation).
Chatted with girlfriend for an hour or so.
Used various websites which I have set to Japanese interface (google, gmail, youtube, etc).
Used my iPod touch which is set to Japanese interface.
Listened to Japanese music on said iPod touch while driving.

Less than normal since I didn't study today..

After that, it's reading a bit of Harry Potter book 1, which arrived yesterday. Odd that that's a popular book to read around here.

Of course there's the listening to iPod, but this time I put a week's worth of Yomiuri Shinbun news on it.
My Harry Potter book arrived yesterday too (but I've had the ebook for about a week). Since I'm not very advanced yet, what I've been doing is just reading it as the audiobook plays (not bothering to mine sentences just yet). It has really helped my reading speed and I've picked up the readings for a few kanji here and there which is cool.

Other than that I've been watching Tiger and Dragon today as well as doing my RtK and KO2001 reviews.

Later I will prepare a 2 minute speech for my Japanese class (not fun, and I really don't think I'm at the level where I should be trying to output, I make a lot of mistakes unless I copy sentences from my textbook/other sources Sad Oh well.)

Had a doctor's appointment earlier, so I had my blood exam results explained to me (in Japanese, of course).
Then I went shopping. I wanted to buy new make-up, but now I know it's almost impossible to get a "normal" color for European people here in Japan. It's all way too white for me (x___X)
Bought a few new manga at Book Off, because I've finished almost all of my old ones.

Now I need to talk to a few people on yahoo auctions with whom I've some business going on and after that I have to review my old Heisig deck (up at 1000+ expired cards again x__X ...) and then do some KO2001 sentences.

Performed in the 第47回全日本合気道演武大会 (47th All Japan Aikido Demonstration) at 日本武道館 (Nippon Budoukan) Smile

I'm enrolled in the beginners class at Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Shinjuku, so I hung out with my classmates for about 5 hours total, speaking Japanese (quite poorly) almost the whole time. I was actually thinking almost completely in Japanese for an extended period of time, which is still new for me and very cool Smile
