Japanese input method

It's always difficult to input Japanese correctly, especially to differentiate "zu" and "du" - "daku on". For instance, take the word "tetuzuki" - "procedure". When you input them "tetuzuki", I might type "tetuduki" for "tetuzuki" because they sound exactly the same - the same phonetics and phonemics and sometimes "du" is easeir to type than "zu" for its position in the keyboard. Yet, "tetuduki" doesn't produce a correct Kanji by converting. Only "tetuzuki" converts correctly. How do I know?

When I write them in Pen, I use them interchangeably, although I know I shouldn't. I write "zushi" for "dushi", the seaside city in kanagawa prefecture. How do you write in kana - "izu" or "idu" for "izu" or 'idu" penninsula?

Hey, when I do a new entry using IM, there's no title. The only way is to enter "Edit" mode via AOL interface or web interface. That is not neat.

That is my understanding about commenting

Well, I tried it myself and found out they asked you to sign in with an AOL screenname. That's strange as "Help" page says otherwise. I've sent a questin on this to the Help desk. Let's see then.

So you've got a new "Rena-chan". Is she cute? Have they come all the way from Japan to see you or just rather Canada? Do you keep in touch with JT somehow if you cannot forget her? I guess it's about time to decide or you won't get married for good.

By the way, I don't understand why Korean people acts like they way ther are, especially their President towards N. Korea. They are so lenient. I hope they act tough in the 6 countris meeting in Beijin. Don't you agree?  Korean people are really inexplicable.

Retort curry

Today I bought a retort curry ( you know what I'm talking about - a sort of instant curry food packed in aluminum pouch after retort-processed) and I really liked them. It doesn't taste like one of those bland retort or freeze-dried food. It really tastes like curry - good one. It's "Shimokitazawa France Tei";you know where Shimokitazawa is and "France Tei" is a name of the curry house there. Have you been there? Maybe I should try one of those days. It's a "Hotter" type and comes with egg plant and beef. Recommended.

By the say, how's your love life? Are you seeing someone lately? Or have you sneaked back to Japan lately for Omiai - Matching? Give me your memment anyway.
