Papi がんばって!
Papi was only a Lady for about a month and a half, but he was my lucky #7 draft pick and it made me sad to see him do so poorly today. You KNOW he feels awful. I don't want Boston to win the AL East, but more than that, I don't want Tampa to win the AL East. And most of all, I don't want Papi to get put to pasture. Rally, Papi! I support you.

some more general expression of sorrow
final guess would be
breakfast time
personally
ReplyDeletei blame bostons ugly new jerseys for papis slump
I'm sorry to have doubted your Japanese skills from a whopping 6-credit introductory class. I think I thought your reading skills were limited to your speaking skills, which I know is rather confined, to "I am eating breakfast."
ReplyDeleteI think the rough translation is "YOU CAN DO IT!" though I'm not sure what Jenni had in mind exactly.
actually the 6 credit introductory class was worthless to me
ReplyDeletemy ability to read hiragana/katakana solely stems from some freeware game i found online sometime after madison
ripoff of nes dragon quest/warrior
where to attack enemy you have to type in the characters that appear on screen
and if you dont play every day the inn charges you extra money
but since the learning was hidden in video game form
it was appealing to me
i stopped playing though once kanji appeared
thats too nuts for me
actually the class wasnt completely worthless
ReplyDeleteof the handful of brief phrases i can speak
id say half i learned from the class
and the rest i learned from taiko games
I was notified by the Moral Police Mordecai that the last sentence of my last comment could be read as potentially rude--"though I'm not sure what Jenni had in mind exactly"--so I just want to clarify that I didn't know what literal translation Jenni was thinking of herself. It did occur to me at the time I hit "Post Comment" that I really ought to know, verbatim, what Jenni had in mind, because twins are often known to do supernatural things like that.
