Also 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship are now ongoing, just started. Tiia would be happy... Pretty nice start from Finland so far. Finland vs. South-Korea 8-1, Finland vs. Latvia also 8-1.
Amazon Prime added few Japanese Prime Original shows. Watching one currently (Tokyo Girl) - not too bad actually.
The reason why I'm almost exclusively watching Japanese anything (really), playing games with Japanese voices (or voices and texts) is that I have plans to take the JLPT N4 exam this year. I bought the official exercise book for N5 level (i.e. the first level) and it's really easy at this point for me. N4 would cover what I've learned grammar wise at least so I guess it should be about right. Wouldn't look bad in the CV...

Watching all that Japanese stuff would certainly be helpful then. Took a few days off of work and I have plans to visit a zoo tomorrow. Weather should be pretty good too. Should work a bit on my garden too and get a few new plants to liven it up Meanwhile I'm catching up on Fear The Walking Dead.

I came back from the "seminar trip" on Sunday. I swear, Finns have black holes in their stomach where liquid and alcohol just disappears. I don't get it what's so fun to get drunk. I was expecting that I would be warmer there... Also houses are so damn cold there. Everything is steady 21c here in Finland and well insulated.
The best thing? I didn't spend a single cent.

I don't understand what's fun about getting drunk either. I always think it's best to quit before you start embarrassing yourself heh. That's quite an achievement spending nothing on a trip

I don't drink at all. Might taste a bit and regret it shortly after. Beer, wine, champagne... All taste like water with detergent. The taste is so bad that it makes puke.
What is really surprising how much they can drink before it really starts to show. I still wonder where all that liquid goes... and how on earth they manage to keep on drinking.
I don't think that I can top that anytime soon. Pretty nice achievement though!

Saw a guy today who had 大麻 (taima) tattooed on back of his neck. Judging by how he looked though, I'm pretty sure he knows that's it means cannabis... Definitely uses something.

Bah! So... frakking Syfy axed The Expanse after 3 seasons. It barely even covers all the novels *sigh* Might be sold to another network, but I'm not holding my breath

That seems to happen to many scifi series (getting axed rather quickly). :/ For some reason.

That would be great although I was really hoping it'd be Netflix picking it up, but still it'd be better than nothing!
We need more auntie Raan And badass Martian marines in power armor.
I think she'd be a perfect FemShep too btw.

Great news at least I suppose I should do the 30 day free trial on Amazon when the time is there.
Btw next month the European Parliament will be voting on that 30% European content on streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix. I'm pretty sure I already know the outcome O_o

Catching up with Black Mirror again: season 4. This is a pretty interesting series about modern technologies with a twist. They're standalone episodes, each dealing with a different technology, so pretty accessible for those who don't like sitting through a whole series that could be cancelled way too early
