This time let’s do some sentences about 見る (みる, look, watch) and 聞く (きく, listen, ask).

デートムービを見ても忘れさせると願った。
デートムービをみてもわすれさせるとねがった。
I watched Date Movie, but I wished I could forget it.

狼男を見たとずっと聞いたけど何となくそいつ無視してた。ボケ。
おおかみおとこをみたとずっときいたけどなんとなくそいつむししてた。ボケ。
I kept asking her if she saw the werewolf, but all she did was ignore me. Jerk.

彼がラジオを聞いたらめちゃ怒るよ。
かれがラジオをきいたらめちゃおこるよ。
He gets seriously angry when he listens to the radio.

Now go ask people if they saw the takeover of the world by the mole-men.

Checking time in class is quite an annoying thing to do on a cell phone and the annoyance evolved, like the whale, into me wanting to buy a watch, like the whale. So I went to Nara (the capital of Japan before Tokyo and Kyoto. Japan likes to play the musical capital game!) to get a watch. I really have no more to say about this. My watch looks like a watch and the band is a leather band. Too much about watches. Now, purchase number two.

So, on Thursday, I had to do a help shift at Shin-Tanabe (the location is pretty much immaterial). Being the wonder that I am, I mess up and think that I was supposed to start at 10; this was not even close to true. I ended up going to a cafe to order a chai tea and, forgetting that such a thing as a chai coffee existed, I ordered a chai latte. That’s always lots of fun, expecting something that you love and getting the warm rich taste of something that you’ve never enjoyed, ever. Anyway, since I had plenty of time to spare, I went to the shopping center. Being 1/4 Otaku (on my mother’s side), I head to the electronics section. There isn’t anything interesting to look at in the games section so I continue down to general electronics section.

I had been looking for one of these for a while. In Den Den, I found some for about 6000 yen, but I was holding out for cheaper. Lo and behold, I find two models in front of me; one is 5000 and it’s younger brother, Nathaniel the extraordinaire, was 4000. What was this machine of momentous importance to my well being? A rice cooker. I’ve barely had it, but I already love it to death. I had been making rice in a pot, which works as well as trying to deal with a whale carcass by blowing it up. Using this method left me with rice that was sometimes not completely cooked (mmmm!) and the pot was not nonstick. I now have a machine that freaking cooks the rice for me and the bowl is nonstick. Huzzah.

Also! Any questions about an issue I have brought up or an issue you would like to hear discussion on, tell me. If you do not tell me, I will continue unimpeded.
