40 minutes listening to Ruslan 2 CD - dialogues and listening exercises. I put these on shuffle, and just listened to them for a while. I could understand almost everything, since I've studied them in the past. I want to get audio from a few different textbooks and so on (for a few languages), and make a collection of audio that is mostly comprehensible for me to listen to.
20 minutes listening to Russian music. I'm pleased how much I can understand.
Watched another episode of Naruto (subtitled). This is my regular anime at the moment. Once I run out of episodes, I'll probably move onto some J‐Drama.
Did about half of MT Russian CD 6.
Tomorrow I have to catch up on my flashcards and kanji.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them some time.
While you're at it, could you recommend any Japanese music?

I could, but it honestly depends on what type of genre you would like me to recommend. I have grown up listening to Japanese music.
I will reccomend some popular and some not so popular main stream artists and see if any of these suit your tastes.
Hamasaki Ayumi is very popular and I am sure if you even slightly looked into Japanese music you would have found out about her. As is Utada Hikaru, two very big mainstream artists. YUI, Otsuka Ai and ayaka are also quite popular good artists. And... just for good measure I will reccomend Nakashima Mika and alan (she is a chinese singer but also has some songs in Japanese which are quite good.) I will also reccomend to you my favourite singer, Onitsuka Chihiro. Hopefully I have provided you something of interest.

Thanks. I'll take a look at your suggestions. To be honest, I like most genres of music. Rock, trance, classical...
I'll find some Japanese music I like and see if you can recommend some more that's like it...
