Ok, I can type (XP) in Japanese with Word and Wordpad but not in HTML forms like this one. Not a biggie for now but it bugs me a little.

I had the same problem before. You have to select manually "Hiraganna" in the menu that appear next to the language bar once you select Japanese.

Did over 80 kanji today. Listened to vocabulearn most of the day. It was a good day. I will most likely be posting much less.

Kanji are at 200 now. Kinda disappointing, but I've been doing a few other Japanese-related things. Heisig rocks, btw, although some stories simply won't stick. Got a mnemosyne file for it. I purchased a Japanese pictionary, a storybook and the remaining 9 cds of vocabulearn. I really enjoy the pictionary, it's something I can do with my daughter and while she's learning English words I'm drilling Japanese. I also devised a pictionary of my own, looking up basic words in thematic fields that are not well covered elsewhere and coming up with pictures for them. I'm at around 500 words there and I have to say I'm amazed how well it sticks. I wouldn't bother doing it for any other language but Japanese is special in this regard. Bought breaking into Japanese literature and the Read real Japanese book. Just noting that I also bought 13 secrets to learning Japanese and Akiyama's 2001 idioms a while back.
I see an uncanny correlation between the Starbucks, Borders and Amazon shareprice and my buying binges and dry periods.

Administrator, I hold you personally responsible for this latest failure. No more pats on the back, please!
Update. During the last four months I experimented for a few weeks with Russian. I abandoned that too easily. As far as my other studies are concerned, nothing happened. I watched movies here and there, mostly in Italian. It's possible I did a few other things but I honestly don't remember and this is one big reason why I'm continuing with this journal.

Some 9 hours of German fairy tales while commuting and at work. Useful time probably around two hours. A couple of Italian movies. A few pages of Maupassant.
