Country From Where The Sun Rises, Zipangu

Mood:MSN Onion Icons


From the Hetalia character CD. This is one of Japan's songs, and the voice actor who sings it is Hiroki Takahashi. Zipangu was what Marco Polo called Japan. Onion IconIt's an awesome song! Sounds very traditional, what with the deer chaser (or the Shishi Odoshi. The sound of the bamboo hitting a flat rock is used to startle or scare off deer or wild animals.) sound at the beginning, and the traditional instruments. Really cool! MSN Onion Emoticons


I got a new purse yesterday! Onion IconI haven't gotten a new one in a while. I tend to wear them out, and forget about getting another one. Onion EmoticonThis one's kind of beige-ish looking. Has a long strap, and is by far the biggest purse I've ever had. Means I can stuff a lot more things in! Onion Icons


I also got new sandals. They're strappy looking, have plastic cut to look a bit like diamonds down the middle. Top part is dark brown, and bottom is somewhat tan. Kind of nice looking. MSN Onion IconsAlso, a lot more comfortable than most of the sandals I have. 


I'm thinking of starting my own garden. So, I got broccoli and Bibb lettuce starter plants. I love those! Onion IconsI can make lots of salads and stuff with them. I might grow tomatoes too. Before I actually put them in the ground I have to fix our garden area. It needs a lot of work, but I really want to do this, so it'll be worth it to me. MSN Onion Emoticon


I made matzah toffee. It's a layer of matzah, then a layer of caramel, then a layer of chocolate, and has sprinkled walnuts on top. So good! Onion IconsI can't wait to have it during the holiday! There was a little extra caramel, and it tasted so good! It was hard to get it evenly distributed between all the matzah. Also, I think I got the chocolate pretty even. I put it in the refrigerator to harden it. 


We just saw a chicken walk across our deck. Onion Emoticon SetThere is a farm behind us, but this is the first time we've seen them venture out here. Plus, they have a pen. And outside of that a wide field, then there's a barbed wire fence that separates our property from theirs. So, it's kind of amazing that it made it over. Onion IconsIt had huge feet, and tried to ram itself against a window. It walked further, and got to our screen and glass door, then stared at us. MSN Onion IconsIt's still wondering around our yard. Onion EmoticonsIt's probably going to get eaten by a dog or some other animal. Hope it finds its way home.Onion Icons

Really big fish!

The seder symbols song. Before you watch, there's a couple things that are off. One Charoset, it doesn't give you constipation, matzah does. Charoset just helps counteract it. Second, the egg is boiled, most people put a roasted lamb or chicken bone on the plate. We eat the egg as kind of an extra thing. The bone symbolizes the lamb's blood we put over our houses so the angel of death didn't kill our first born sons in the story. It 'passed over' us. Other than that it's a funny vid. ^_^

Woof!

Japanese Klezmer band! :D

Zessei Bijin

Mood:Onion Icon


From the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei CD. Means Absolute Beauty. If you know the lyrics, it's got a lot of dark humor in it. If you don't, it just sounds like a fun, jazzy, light-hearted song. So much like the series! Onion Icons The girls from the series are singing this one too. Well, I slept in again. (Only not as much as yesterday.) Still feel pretty drained. MSN Onion IconHad internet problems too. 






I gave my Selfy a new outfit, since I didn't feel too great. Onion Emoticon(She's in the pic.) Selfy's are avatars similar to Gaia's. They're on TinierMe. She has darker shorter hair, darker eyes, gave her a bow for her hair, 'ethnic' earrings (really are just funky and dangly), a retro looking maroon and white dress, and black high-heeled shoes with a red heart on the side of them. It looks classy. MSN Onion Icon The other one looked like a cross between punk and lolita. Onion IconSo, it's interesting to see a different look on her.


I tried using the Hebrew keyboard on here, just for fun. It was really messed up, similar to how the Japanese one was at first. I had to do something big like reinstall it to get that to work. Onion EmoticonI felt it was too much of a hassle, so I took it off my language bar. Next thing I know, it has Chinese as my default language. MSN Onion EmoticonIt was a bit scary, but after restarting my computer it was fine. MSN Onion Emoticon


Mom made the granola that we use as breakfast during Passover. It's such good stuff! Onion IconsIt has Matzah chunks called farfel, honey, a variety of dried fruits, and nuts all mixed and cooked in the oven together. It becomes almost like candy. Plus, it takes a very long time to get soggy in milk, because of the honey becoming hard. So, that's another added bonus.Onion Icons


日本語
I did 10 example sentences for 上がる. 何は私たちはこれは山が上がりませんでしたら。What if we didn't climb this mountain? 何を私は上がればか。What if I go up? 何を私は上がらなければか。What if I didn't go up? 何を彼はそこに上がりますならばか。What if he goes up there? 何を彼は上がりませんならばか。What if he doesn't go up? あなたはてっぺんまで上がれるか。Can you climb to the top? 私はてっぺんまで上がれない。I can't climb to the top. 私はそれは山が上がれます。I can go up that mountain. すみません、私はそれが上がれません。Sorry, I can't raise that. 彼は7時で上がられる。He will be going up at 7. 彼は今日は上がられない。He isn't climbing today. 

We're going to have salmon, peas, and pasta for dinner. Also, we got apple fritters for dessert. Good, since most of those things we won't be able to eat during the holiday.Onion IconPlus, all of it is really tasty anyways.
