…and that’s where I come in. She has sent me a sheet written in Japanese that she found on the Internet which intends to explain her condition, what she can’t eat, and what she can. To ensure that this sheet is accurate, she has asked me to take a look at it.

The vocabulary I’ve picked up alone is well worth the time I’ve spent on it. I’ve even learned some new English vocabulary in the process! Here’s a peek at the vocabulary that I’ve grabbed from working on this sheet:

• 小麦（こむぎ）　wheat
• 小麦粉（こむぎこ）　wheat flour
• ライ麦（らいむぎ）　rye
• 大麦（おおむぎ）　barley
• キビ（きび）　(common) millet (a variety of grain that I didn’t know about previously)
• 膨らし粉（ふくらしこ）　baking powder
• 麦芽（ばくが）　malt

First, I’m required to post the rules:

1. Link to the person that tagged you. (Done, above)
2. Post the rules on your blog. (Done, here)
3. Share 6 non-important habits/quirks about yourself (Done, below)
4. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (I guess that depends on if I can find 6 people who won’t be incredibly irritated and ultimately want me dead *gulp*)
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Now, to list 6 non-important habits/quirks about myself.

1. I can’t resist British humour.  Most recently, I’ve been watching British sitcom “The IT Crowd“.  I’d like to see “The Office”, but the British version, not the American one starring Steve Carell.
2. I recently read “The Game” by Neil Strauss, cover to cover.  It’s really not as evil as you might imagine.  Actually, it’s largely autobiographical and the author wants out of “The Game” by the end of it because he realizes that the pursuit of seduction skills is starting to negatively affect his life and the lives of those around him.
3. I’m subscribed to way more RSS feeds than I can actually keep up with.
4. I’m actually more informed about Japanese news than local news (thanks, Japan Probe!).
5. I’m starting to become addicted to the kendama I bought for myself when I was in Japan.
6. I love going to Vancouver because there’s a Book-Off in the Downtown Vancouver area.  It’s the only one in Canada.

Well, there you have it.  Hopefully I won’t get flamed for doing this just this once for my sister.  And hey, you now know six more things about me that I’ve never mentioned on the show.  Well, except for the bookstore maybe.  How’s that for listener interaction?  =)

Below are the people I’ve tagged, which will be updated as I tag them.
