Literacy
I have been teaching myself hiragana, one of the three Japanese scripts. I’m using Mnemosyne, a flash-card program that schedules cards cleverly so that the cards you remember well get scheduled less and less.
I don’t remember learning to read English – as far as I am concerned, it’s as natural as breathing or [...] -

There and back again.
I have, somewhat to my surprise, managed to survive England. After an ungodly amount of travel (10 hours or so?) I finally dragged myself back to my flat (be it ever so humble). Nicely, it would appear that my fears for my potatoes were somewhat unfounded. I have put together a Flickr [...]

Family visit
I’ve not been blogging much – Twitter has been my normal outlet. But there have been a few things that I could have used longer-form writing for, like my spud-growing project (which I shall be calling Balcony Farm).

Thus, you can’t ever [...]

Yes, well.
I’m trying to come up with a way of writing all this that doesn’t come across as self-pitying whining, but haven’t managed yet. We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve not updated the blog since January, so firstly, I haven’t fallen down any sort of hole, nor have I been abducted by aliens for any probing. All [...] -

Still alive
12.03.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsNo Internet access at home, so I’m now hiking up to the local library in order to get my daily fix. Maybe some regular out-of-the-house time will be good for me?
Work continues on my NaNoNovel, even though November is over. I’m currently back in the outlining stage, as it turns out I didn’t do as [...]
