Tumbling in the wave

My attempt at being creative with the title to introduce my 2 latest geek-obsessions: Tumblr and Google Wave.

Tumblr

In an effort to improve my Japanese, I decided to start a Japanese blog. I wanted something simple, no fancy features or fluff, preferably remotely hosted, but still fun to use and look at. I considered Livejournal, Blogger, Chyrp, and even Habari, but when I stumbled upon Tumblr (no pun intended), I knew this was it. My Tumblr serves as my daily Japanese journal and every once in a while (more like every day right now, since it’s so fun to use), I post random things on there that I like.

Does anyone else use Tumblr or even better, uses Tumblr and is willing to help me improve my Japanese? A cookie for those who say yes!

I got my invite for this a few weeks ago, but I never really got into it because I found it damn confusing, and having to watch a long-ass video to learn the features didn’t help. It wasn’t until a couple days ago my boyfriend got Google Wave as well and explained to me what it was capable of that I went “ahhhhhhh”. But really, this thing is only fun when you have friends on there you actually WANT to talk to, and with the slow invite system (because apparently, Google has too many stamps to lick), this is what happens:
