Look out Mickey-here I come!!

If things go well I should be visiting a Disneyland for the first time ever on Tuesday. Fumiko doesn't know how many times she's been before but she claims to be a Disneyland/DisneySea expert and has already bought the tickets and has an itinerary that begins at 7am on Tuesday morning-and I thought this was supposed to be fun. We'll see how it goes anyways. I'll be sure to bring the camera along so you can bask in the joy.

My roomie is leaving soon which is both sad and great. Sad because she's a great person but great because there will only be two of us in the house and it means we'll be able to turn that bottom room into a dining room. Our rent is going to go up a little but she got a heck of a good deal to live down on the first floor so it isn't going to be too bad of a hit. A house for two people for less than the price of what those (expletives deleted) charge at NOVA-fantastic!

Things are starting to warm up (as in WARM up) and I'm looking forward to the summer nights when we can go to the convenience store and buy a bag of fireworks and go down to the local park and set them off. It should be good times!

My katakana 'vocabulary' is growing at an exponential rate. Actually I've only memorized 20 but I've only sat down for 3 sessions so that isn't too bad. I demonstrated my initial progress to Fumiko which produced an uncontrollable bout of laughter because apparently although my characters look the same as anything else I've seen I have the stroke order of a monkey. She'd really be shocked if she knew that I have poor stroke order for english too! So anyways I bought a kids book which teaches the proper stroke order and I can give myself a sticker at the end of each session.
