Smart.fm<\/a>, I guess that link will take you to their new site soon cause they’re closing this free flashcard service they had. Figure I’ll give it an intro for all the squares out there, I mean everyone in Billyburg reading this is totally rolling all four no-lens eyes and pssshhing themselves cause they’ve never even met someone not hip to the online Japanese flashcard scene, but this is working man’s blog. A family blog. Sure, the family is an army of spambots mostly but you can’t pick your family. But you and I, we can be friends, reader. Internet friends. Friendz, even.<\/p>\nWell screw it then. <\/p>\n

Wait, I’m supposed to stop doing that. This is getting nowhere. But it might not be a bad thing. I had the opinion for a long time that music maybe shouldn’t be written about and it was dumb to try. Gradually I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s only dumb for me to try. But still I will continue. Because I am currently only partially employed. And I don’t know what I’m doing with my own music.

People write reviews for fun, for years thinking they might one day get paid for it. I was thinking that I long time ago, but it became a goof even before I started a blog. Now it seems to be a serious hobby. It’s a good way to organize yourself. You can’t organize yourself through art alone. Of course you should try to get away with being unorganized for as long as possible but eventually you’re going to run into%<\/b><\/p>\n

So they say, so they say. A new note to remark on my own current mental stability: ok. I’ve missed out on some sleep lately, been cramming. There’s no test any time soon, I should really take the JPLT, but that’s not till December.
