Zǎoshàng hǎo! Nǐ hǎo ma?

Wow.

::looks around::

It's been a while. Feels kind of strange to be here. In my mind, I'm still an active LJ-er, and it's odd to realize that that really hasn't been true for a few months. No clue if I'm still on anyone's friends list, but a friendly hello to you if I'm still on yours.

I start Mandarin class tomorrow night! I'm sitting here listening to my first lesson on Chinesepod and trying to activate my little-kid brain, the part that first learned a language by listening and imitating without fear of sounding stupid. Good morning. How are you? Zǎoshàng hǎo! Nǐ hǎo ma?

Meanwhile, I'm downloading the penultimate episode of one of the best television shows ever. "Life on Mars," man. The only TV I'm still watching. kispexi2 and I have been madly dissecting every episode and are waiting with chewed nails to figure out if we've discovered the key to the mystery. Don't know what I'll do when it ends next week.

Study Chinese, I guess, huh?
