The sun came out this week and we went and sat in the park with the giant tulips and discussed some exciting ideas!

My Hamtaro watch also arrived, the second hand is a little hamster that ticks around the watch. Not everyone appreciated it, but I think its awesome!

I went bowling on friday night with the guys from work so I stayed at Gregs friday night. In the morning we put together his lego dalek kit before I went off to the theatre to see legally blonde. I was lucky enough to be allowed to put together one dalek! I called him Terry, short for TERRORence! :P

How to type in Hiragana on a Mac

Came across a great website in my japanese learning studies a few weeks ago, Tofugu.

They do some pretty handy guides, one of which is about how to type in Hiragana or Katakana on a mac. You can see it here. Much easier than writing it into google transliterate and copy and pasting it into whatever document you’re working on!

The only down side is I keep forgetting I’ve left it in Hiragana, I tend to type without looking at what i’m writing so I’ve sent a few garbled tweets recently! I have to keep deleting them!

がんばって!

RIP Pluppy

Everybody’s favourite freak fish died yesterday.

His mother and all his siblings were guppys and yet he looked suspiciously like a platy with an elongated body! There were no female platys in the tank he was born in only one male platy!

When he was born he stayed about 1cm long for months, even after two years he was much much smaller than his siblings.

Some people thought might have a recessive wild type gene or something, but we liked to think of him as a half guppy half platy, pluppy!
