allekha: Figure skater Hanyu performing (Dark Yuzuru)
I finally finished that Japanese novel I've been chipping away at for forever... so now I can finally say I've read a Japanese novel :D (Which makes two 'real' books, since the first one was nonfiction. Onward and upward!)

Watched some of rhythmic gymnastics Euros this weekend - as an occasional watcher, the code changes seem to be working to make for much more likable routines with actual moments that match the music, though I was disappointed that the commentators didn't actually say much of anything - and it was nice to see Kaylia Nemour making good on her transfer out of France. (Is there something up with French sports lately? Their gym fed is a mess, their skating fed is a mess - Didier trying to sabotage P/C out of their Olympic gold by threatening judges because he didn't want the fed to have any accomplishments without him is hilariously petty only because it didn't work - and I saw a tumblr post talking about their issues in other sports as well. Guys, you have an Olympics next year, what are you doing.) I also got in exercise of my own by hoeing some of the garden plot - maybe the blade of my hoe is just dull, but it's surprisingly difficult to cut through grass roots even after they've been starved of sunlight for months.

One of Z's friends unexpectedly dropped by town yesterday, and then his parents came by today, and we had already treated ourselves to Indian on Friday, so between eating with the visitors, the leftovers, and the pie his parents gave us, I don't think we're going to have to cook for a couple of days.
