Random Kanji Knowledge: Sotsugyou
Random Kanji Knowledge time! This past weekend, I went down to a wonderful place called Pullman to attend my younger brother’s college graduation at Washington State University, which is my alma mater as well (if it is not obvious already, the cougar is my favorite animal in the world).
It is thus fitting that today’s kanji is 卒業 (sotsugyou — pronounced sow-tsu-gee-yoh), the Japanese word for graduation. 卒 can refer to stuff like “soldier” or “graduate,” whereas the 業 can refer to aspects like “vocation” or “arts.”

Tux and Kuro sure know how to lounge around and look cute. >^..^<
Early Easter
Nhan-Fiction Note: So I came downstairs to find an early Easter basket from my host family. >^..^<
Puppies and Kitties
Nhan-Fiction Note: This is Tramper, Zoey, Kuro (who is hard to see) and Tux waiting outside. They all want back into the house at the same time. >^..^<
The Pride of Australia
This is a dog I live with named Zoey. She is an Australian Terrier. She is a bit of a pudgy puppy, not the brightest crayon in the box, can be a bit noisy at times, will pester you for treats and “good” food but she is a very sweet dog.
She is Zoey, THE PRIDE OF AUSTRALIA!

Rusty Machine Gun
Lyrics
As you’re walking along
Feeling so burdened and lost
The lights of the city
As you’re passing by
Seem like they’re swallowing you up
Our dreams are all broken
Our hopes have all died
And we can’t wait to leave
All these memories behind
We’ll head for a place
We’ve never been to before
Even if people think we’re out of our minds
We’ll take this rusty machine gun
We’ll fire away and we’ll blast right out of here
We’ll take what we’ve got
We’ll rise to the top
And we’ll leave behind our fear
[instrumental break]
We’ll take this rusty machine gun
We’ll fire away and we’ll blast right out of here

Kuro and Tux are very good buddies. They love their cat naps on the couch.
Baked
So I made my own pizza for dinner tonight. I ran out of tomatoes or anything to make a standard pizza sauce, so I improvised and used salsa instead.
For toppings:
- Grated cheddar and pepper jack cheese
- Sautéed onions with fresh garlic and ginger
- Chicken slices that were cooked with the sautéed onions
- Diced red peppers
- Jalapenos
- Fresh basil
- Various seasonings
Surprisingly, the pizza tasted pretty well. The salsa ended up baking a lot better than I thought it would, plus it added a bit of a kick to the pizza’s flavor. I feared that the salsa was going to get super runny and drip off the pizza. Though it doesn’t beat real pizza sauce, at least I now know that salsa is a decent alternative.
MANJA!
Having Your Cake and Eating It Too
So I baked a cake for my host mom’s birthday. I made a white cake that had M&M’s mixed into the batter. I then used white, fluffy frosting and then topped off the cake with some crumbled Kit Kat bars for additional texture.
And of course, French vanilla ice cream was served along with the cake as well. After all, everything is better with a scoop of ice cream.

It certainly has been awhile since I have posted pictures of Tux and Kuro, the two kittens my “host family” got awhile back. The two cats have grown by quite a bit. They are very smart, albeit mischievous at times, but they are real sweet when they aren’t wreaking havoc around the household.
Below are some random pictures of the two just feline fine. >^..^<
