Well, I'm officially abandoning the Heisig method of learning kanji. I decided that the method has outlived its usefulness, and getting around to learning the remaining kanji in the book would not be worth the time and effort. Oh, it'd be useful, sure, but I think it'd be even more useful to finally get off my ass and learn some real, honest-to-God Japanese. After taking a break... a few days of not doing any kanji repetitions will surely lift my spirits, I think.
It's a bit of a shame that I never did finish the kanji book, though. But hey, I still got 89.4% of the way there! It sounds like an insane time to quit, I know, and that's what I had been thinking... but I really have not felt the motivation to add new kanji for months. That's no way to learn anything, is it? So it's time to face facts and move on, I guess.

I'm addicted to the board game Clue. Until a couple days ago I'd never played it before, and I finally got around to seeing what it's all about and I see it's utterly brilliant. On the one hand, it's a shame that I couldn't have discovered it when I was younger, but on the other, I'm not sure I'd have fully appreciated the brilliance when I was younger anyway.
I think in the near future I'll end up writing my own version of Clue. I know there's already a few PC ports of Clue, but it'll be fun anyway. (A new one was released this year, but it doesn't include netplay. $20 for a computerized board game that doesn't include netplay? Please!) I've never done network programming before, so that might be a challenge, but I'll see what I can do...
