Ad Mundo Exteriore,
The other day I was bothering all my Chinese-speaking friends if they knew what a certain character meant. My father is giving me hanja lessons, see, and that was one of the forty characters that I've learned in the past few weeks. (Technically, it's up at about eighty, but I already knew the first forty characters.) Anyway, no one, not even L.P. who's been going to Chinese school for ten years, had the slightest clue and told me, "It looks familiar, but I don't remember what it actually means." So I thought perhaps it was this abstract, complicated idea until I went home and looked it up again.
Guess what? It means to stop or to end. -_- How simple is that? Father says to tell them that they're all incompetent.
I downloaded the first three chapters of Tennis no Oujisama, and it looks like a fun manga, though I don't know if I like it yet. The scans are from the Korean version, so I can even read all the untranslated sound effects. I suppose I should also download Full Moon wo Sagashite one day, for Angelette-oniichan's sake, but...but...okay, I do like shoujo manga, but I have a certain tolerance limit. From what I've seen so far of Full Moon, it looks like it exceeds that barrier. Actually, what I really want is to find Shaman King scanslations, but since it's licensed it's near impossible to find any groups that are still working on it. >_< I suppose I'll have to be satisfied with stealing the monthy English Shounen Jump magazine.
Currently, I'm trying to customize a Perl guestbook script, but I have no way of checking the actual entry format because I don't know where to upload the script. Argh. There's no cgi-bin folder on the server. >_<
The other day, I was in a public bathroom, and there was this sign that said, "Please pick up toilet paper from the floor." The picture that accompanied it was this cute Jack Russell terrier. I unfortunately immediately thought of all those signs that tell you to pick up your dog's...er...feces from the sidewalk and collapsed in laughter.
Also, we were grocery shopping, and I was looking in the Korean and Japanese candy aisle, when I noticed that the Japanese gummy candies all came with this message: "We hope you have fun with this gummy." O_O Again, collapsed in laughter.
