My なかま　textbook just made a new ともだち!　This is exciting; fluent にほんご speakers are crawling out of the woodwork in ぷりんせとん.  All the better to practice with!   

And I'm finally done fiddling with the blog template; I had greater and more noble intentions of filling the HTML with links to ねこ pictures -- alas, I'm too lazy to figure out how to host images, while my unfinished schoolwork calls to me.  My background image is a piece by Takashi Murakami, one of my favorite Japanese contemporary artists, and who's very popular all over にほん. Stay tuned for the self-introduction and PE work - I need to find some group members for peer review!!
