I went to SITACON this year, and came back with a Sitacon T-shirt, some kawaii buttons & a new d10 set. Woot! There was lots going on, but I did get to talk to the people from OCRemix. Cool people they are.

I did take some pics of some nifty cosplayers though:

She got her kimono from her Aunt when she was living in Japan. Rock On!

And of course, the legendary Vash the Stampede!

Today, I came back to my room to find that my oldest betta, Bubbles, had crossed the rainbow bridge. My boyfriend, the sweetheart he is, offered to let his betta, Kalec, come hang with Momo & Downey to keep us company. I would have taken him up on his offer, but I’m not sure yet what happened to bubbles (other than that he is no longer living …) so I’m being super careful with his tankmates. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to any of them, in case Bubbles had something contagious to other fish.

In remembrance of Bubbles I have made this compilation of pictures set to “To Zanarkand” from FFX .

じかん (Jikan - Time) is the next section of numbers we’ll be covering. This post will cover hours & half past. (i.e 4:30)

Fist things first: Questions & Answers.
What time is it?
Ima nanji desu ka?
いま なんじ です か?

It is ___.
___ desu.
___です.

To get the hour, basically take the number & stick じ (ji) on the end.
3:00 would be さんじ (sanji). Ji is kind of like adding “o’clock,” but it literally means hour.

**Take note of 4,7 & 9. They use these specific forms of the numbers.

To get half-past you just add はん (han). Han actually means half.
4:30 is よじはん.

Also, to differentiate between am/pm you’d use gozen for am & gogo for pm.

3:00 am
gozen sanji desu
ごぜん さんじ です

5:30 pm (This one makes me laugh)
gogo goji han desu
ごご ごじ はん
