Today's Japanese and a desk shot.

Been doing a lot of (dissertation and non dissertation purposes) reading the past couple of days. Biological functions do be kicking my arse, but we persevere.

White Teeth (Zadie Smith) is turning out to be pretty interesting. There's some good quotes in there. I particularly like Samad's dislike of the English way of preparing vegetables.

Polyglot Pro Tip

Guess what I just learned y’all!!! I went to the library to pick up some Korean & Japanese books, and the librarian I spoke to told me about all the language programs that I (as a library card holder) have to access to through their website! 😱 I can use Mango, Muzzy, Rossetta Stone... all those language learning tools that would normally cost us hundreds of dollars to get, WE CAN USE FOR THE FREE! So you all can probably do the same if you have access to a public library. Go check it out! 

Just thought I’d share that with everyone. Now I bid you all adieu #BackToMyNewGrammarBooks
