Much fun was had watching the second set of three episodes of of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu with serinthia tonight. (After a quick run to the Piggly Wiggly to pick up a frozen pizza that is.) It is so nice to have friends close enough to drop by like that.

I had nearly as much fun, though in a different way, watching all the Japanese writing and trying to pick out characters that I recognize as I did watching the animè. Though I feel a bit like a little kid thinking it's awe-inspiring that he can now read the letter "E", but I'm happy to be making some progress. Let's see; once more from memory:

あ い う え お
a i u e o
か き く け こ
ka ki ku ke ko
ち し す せ そ
sa shi su se so

I'm at the phase where I'm having fun doing things like putting けいこ into Google search and being delighted when it turns up cutesy little blogs that belong to girls named Keiko. I can only hope that said amusement will continue as I get through the Hiragana and start into the Katakana and Kanji.
