How would you imagine coconut curry chocolate to taste like? How about Lemon Earl Grey Tea chocolate? I found out today, as I walked down Lobby 10 and came across a booth selling unusually flavored chocolate truffles. Believe it or not, they were delicious! Maybe it's because Chocolate is normally so sweet that these un-sweet flavors add a nice refined and sophisticated touch--- they tasted so gourmet!


So, I tried out Language Lab today. It was insane! I popped in the tape, stuck on the headphones, and was prompted to quickly respond to, "Kyoo simasu ne?" It took me a few seconds to translate the statement to, "You're going to do it today, right?" and a few seconds to formulate an appropriate response in my mind, "Iya, tigaimasu. Asita simasu yo." (No, I'll do it tomorrow.) By then the voice had already cut in and made the next statement. . . After half an hour of practice, I didn't really improve. Going back and listening to the records of my session was amusing too. So often, I hadn't caught the verb correctly, and would respond to "Are you going?" with, "No, I'll eat tomorrow". ~_~;; We'll have to see how this language thing goes. . .


Max is the sweetest. He gave me a "My Neighbor Totoro" dvd for a late birthday present. . .


Err, off to bed so I can get more than 5 hours of sleep tonight. Oyasuminasai!
