Added 58 terms to my SRS.

I found another source of a vocabulary acquisition opportunity in card games, or トランプ as it’s called in Japanese. The game – 大貧民. Play three-3s and it’s 革命, reminiscent of France in the late 18th century.

At some point, I’d like to find time again to go through the scripts of dramas as a study method. I still have 薔薇のない花屋, ガリレオ, and CHANGE to study through. My schedule’s a little tight in the coming 2 weeks, though. I’ll be lucky to find the time to even get through my normal textbook-based study.

One thing I enjoy is coming across terms that I have seen being used and which I sort of guessed the meaning of, finding out that my guesses were pretty much correct, or close to being correct. Most of it has to do with my long-term obsession with fantasy-based games, where I come across terms like 応戦 (counter [attack]), 攻撃 (attack), 幸運 (luck), and so on. And here I thought that playing games would ultimately be a waste of my time! Unfortunately, I’ve nearly completely fallen out of love with gaming, save for the times when I get a brief hankering to fire up some modern online fantasy game and give it a go. I’ve completely derailed my entry here.

I’m hoping to pick up speed as kanji begin repeating themselves within the next week or two. Maybe I can get through two lessons per day at that point.

I added another 60 terms to my SRS.

I’m going to take a break and (finally!) watch HERO (Japanese movie) tonight with over a pint of Kirin.
