This morning I went on a search for Base Ball Bear stuff, trying to find interesting tidbits. I found a lot of cool pictures, and some CD reviews from 4-5 years ago that have a more detailed biography of their earlier history (most of the newer ones shorten it up a lot, I guess because recent happenings are more important). The best thing was an interview from a few months ago, with a "top three things you're into right now" for each of the members. Normally I'm most interested in Shiori's stuff, but after watching a few Richard Dawkins documentaries, it seems kind of dumb, like she's just caught up in alternative healing scams at the moment. I hope aromatherapy and Yomeishu aren't eating up all of the money she makes playing her guitar. (Yomeishu is an alcoholic herbal drink made with Chinese medicinal herbs. Part of me thinks it would just taste awful, but I'm also curious to try it just to see what it's like. It costs about $22 per liter, so a little on the expensive side. At least it's not homeopathic and actually has viable amounts of herbs though...)
I think it's good that Hori-kun is on a diet...and he uses Billy Blanks tapes to exercise! hee. I remember doing those in gym in middle school. Oh, good times.
Job hunting is going all right. If I accept the job that randomly came up yesterday, I may be doing some interpreting at a hospital later this month. However, I'm not confident, especially with the last time I tried to interpret at a hospital, and that was really informal. Lots more pressure this time.
I finished the first story in Novala Takemoto's book Emily recently, and I'm about 33% done translating it. The story is only about 12 pages long, but hey, you have to start small with literature because the author is not always blunt, like in a newspaper. I need to get myself a denshi jisho, badly. I'm borrowing one from a friend right now and I never realized just how useful and convenient they are.
