Rock It Down (Again)

Mood:


By M.O.V.E. Still kind of a fun dance song.  I need to get more new songs for my playlist!  Since I've already posted this song, I won't do it again. 


It's starting to warm up a little. Wahoo!  I worked myself a little too much this morning. So, I now have a pretty big headache.Oh, well. I wrote a bit more of chapter 11. I'm also in the stages of making a new character. I'm not even sure what to call him at this point.  Maybe tomorrow I'll figure him out. I played some more Irish tunes. Sounded even better and smoother.  I actually got into it even more than usual.

In Kuroshitsuji, one of Queen Victoria's helpers took the trophy and gave it to her. She comes out of no where and says she'll be a judge to break the tie. She decides Sebastian's curry won, and hands the trophy over to him and says this is for you. Since, it can be eaten without utensils and everyone can enjoy his curry donuts. Soma finally sees Meena. (Soma's on the chapter cover pic.) Finds out that she wanted to sneak out of India anyways before she met West. She didn't want to live her life bound by her social class. (Caste system.) She thought going from a lowly cook to a rich wife would be much better. Agni didn't want Soma to know, because he thought he'd be devastated. He was protecting him. While Meena's speaking he's crying his eyes out. Soma goes over and asks him if he'll stay by his side and be his Khansama. (Like a butler and Chef.) He gratefully accepted. Both Agni and Soma feel that Ciel and Sebastian have taught them many things about life, and thank them.

日本語

I finished and started another sentence from the grill's manual.無理な力や衝撃を与えると、変形や破損の恐れがあります。(Murina chikara ya shougeki o ataeru to, henkei ya hason no osore ga arimasu.) Don't use too much force, it will cause a variety of damages. 

In Hetalia, they began with Germany introducing Italy to Japan. Italy was worried he'll something inappropriate or stupid. Then, Japan told Italy that his paintings and literature have left a deep impression on him for a while. He tells Japan that he loves Japanese history. Then, they talked about the Roswell UFO Incident. Which was in July of 1947. A farmer had found it, and told America about it. After he went to his boss, thinking it was the news of the century, they tell him to forget about it and that it was just a weather balloon. While he's kind of moping around, an alien taps his shoulder. This is when America met his alien friend, Tony. He shows Tony to England and they hate each other right away. (That's them in the pic. This was after England asked what planet are you from.) At the end, England goes home, and laughs about it. While showing the pic of Tony to his unicorns and fairies. I didn't think they would cover the Roswell Incident. But, I guess if they hadn't, we wouldn't know the background to Tony? He's in previous episodes. Similar to Canada's little polar bear. 

In Letter Bee, they explained a bit more of each region. The country's Amberground. Capital of it is Akatsuki, where it's lit by an artificial moon and only the first class and elite live there. Next, Yuusari is a place for the middle class. And, Yodoka is where people of the lowest class of society live. There are bridges linking these areas, but only people with government issued IDs can travel through it. Lag passed the preliminary exam, and is going to the interview section of the national postal worker entrance exam. He's a little worried since he still doesn't have a dingo. He finds a little girl who was a package that's been abandoned at the train station. (She's in the pic.) He decides that he'll try to deliver her, even though it's against the 'rules'. She doesn't actually have a name, but lots of people have given names to her. After some thinking, Lag decides to call her Niche. She's very strong and has fast reflexes. After he called her beautiful, she was a lot more accepting of him, and agrees to the name. I think she's somehow going to become his dingo. There's hints of it.

I played LunchTime by Minoto. Very funny, cute, short, and bizarre like always. Then I played another Japanese game called Balcony 2. I've played some of their games before. They're not as funny and they're more challenging. The cat's stuck outside, and halfway through the game, you get in contact with the dog and call for help. He goes off to help. I didn't finish it all because it got a little tiring. 

I started coloring Zero. Got to his hair, skin, mouth, and shirt. The reds in his hair and shirt are still not quite right to me. So, I'm thinking next time I should add a little yellow and orange to them. Maybe the blend will look better. 

deviantART faves: Ohhh The Crowbar Welcome to Canada Hetalia- Origin of THAT OC Profile, Bio Sheet I did not make these! First, a comic that's fits Russia a little too well. Second, a cute drawing of Canada giving maple syrup as a gift to China. It's actually based of a recent real event. The president of China was welcomed with a bottle of maple syrup, since it was Quebec's Birthday. (Quote from the author.) Third, a comic about the origin of the song Caramell Dansen. Fourth, an awesome very in depth original character profile sheet! Even if I never fill it out all the way, it will help a lot with developing my characters.

By Watarirouka Hashiri Tai. It's from the first Fairy Tail ending theme. It's kind of a fun song. Kind of fits Lucy's character.  Not the best one on the list, but still a fave. I have to find more songs again! 





Well, I went to the Shabbat morning service again! Wahoo! I'm glad I've gotten back into it. This time our cantor led it. She brought a guest violinist. He sounded really awesome!  It's a bit of a different feel than the guitar. There was only one problem. The alarm for the synagogue was having issues. It made a high pitched sound throughout the service. Sometimes a long tone, sometimes a few beeps, and sometimes there would be silence.  I was about ready to run out the door screaming.  It was a very interesting portion this time. About Balaam being told to curse the Israelites. He blessed them instead. But, it took the scene with a talking female donkey ramming his leg into a wall (because she saw an angel, and was backing away) to get him to come to his senses.  Kind of crazy! His blessing is where we get a pretty famous prayer. We also had exactly enough people for a minyan this time. 


Then, we went to the Havdalah service and study. Havdalah signifies the end of Shabbat. We say some blessings over a special candle, wine, and a spice box. We do this while standing in a circle. Sometimes linking arms or hands. The candle is long and multi-wicked. Usually, it's in a weave pattern. When we say the blessing over it, we usually hold it up high. While we're saying it over the wine, everyone passes it around and takes a sip. For the spices, we pass it around and sniff it. After all of these, we extinguish the candle by placing it in the wine cup. Then, we all sing songs. It's really a nice and warm type of service.  Everyone brought desserts. Mom brought a 3 berry cake, there was homemade chocolate, an oatmeal cookie with cherries and chocolate thing, an oat bar thing, brownies, and some other things. It was all very good. There were 2 more new people. They were very nice. It was kind of a fun Torah study, too.I wanted to contribute more, but when I'd say something it was too quiet. I was losing my voice.  (Which might have been because of the salty food I had at dinner.) The kid next to me was getting into it a bit. I would say something and he'd hear me and comment about it. I was a little surprised.  He'd comment on things quietly too. So, we had almost a side conversation.  Throughout the study, we had the door open. So, naturally the mosquitoes came in and attacked me.  I got bitten in kind of a weird place. The middle of my index finger just before the knuckle. There can't be very much good stuff there, right? We discussed a bit about Moses striking the rock when G-d told him this time to talk to it. A lot of people say that he was a stutterer, and he hated to speak in public. Since, whacking the stone the first time worked, why not the second? It was a nice discussion about the whole thing. We could have discussed it much longer, but the Rabbi wanted to stop. 


I've decided to study the Torah portion everyday the week before.  I'll read a few verses, some Midrash, some of the Haftorah portion, some Psalms, some of the 'minor' prophets, and some proverbs. I'll feel like I'm not just doing Jewish things on Shabbat or other holidays. I feel like I need more on a daily basis.  I guess I'm becoming more and more observant. (Don't know if that's the right word?) I wasn't sure how to go about that. But, this should help a bit. 


Today, we went to an awesome party for our friend who paid off her mortgage.  She literally burned it.She has a lot of nice friends. I haven't been that social in a long time, so it was really nice to me. We got lost trying to find her house, because she gave the wrong directions.  The person who drove us there, is a timid driver. She didn't know what to do when we went the wrong way. After we found it and went inside, someone talked to us right away. These people seemed very open and friendly.  The last person we talked to exchanged numbers with us. It was fun to talk to her, and we might have made a nice friend. (I say 'we' because she talked to Mom, the person who drove us, and me.) It looks like she even wants to be friends with me. Even though, she's much older than me.  I did tell her that I don't care about age with friends. It's true. I have people in their 80s and some in their teens as friends. To me, personality matters more. It's almost discrimination if I do it based on age. After hearing that, she looked like she was very emotional or something, and hugged me.  There was a lot of good food there too. Plus, a triple chocolate cake that said Happy Mortgage Burning. Funny!  It would be really fun if she had these parties more often. We might actually get to see these people more.  Her house has a beautiful view of the water.  You can watch the ferries and sailboats. Kind of a tranquil place. She told us she's thinking of attending our congregation's services again. She's not liking the way things are run with the other one. It would be nice. 


Tomorrow, my parents are going to the retreat and won't be back until Tuesday night. We went out and got some stuff for myself while they'd be gone. Also, I had a chili dog for dinner. Our market makes some of the best ones!  I also got an individual frozen deep dish cheese pizza, and a frozen thing they call Country Cheddar for my dinners. Sounds really good!
