極限脱出 9時間9人9の扉 (12.5k characters)

Did that and two puzzle rooms in between. Had a lot of fun but wowee I’m spent. I’m also either dumb, tired or didn’t understand the language of what I was supposed to do with a certain puzzle (for those caught up with week 9: the ones with the ON/OFF switches that light up) but I got past that, somehow. In one of the puzzles I spent like 20 minutes looking for something that I had in my inventory all along… xd. Was about to quit and just try tomorrow, and of course then I noticed . Annoying, but was fun.

@rikaiwisdom

a certain puzzle

Nah, that puzzle is just miserable and poorly explained. I’ve played 999 a good half dozen times and it STILL trips me up every time.

I haven’t tried much, but perhaps also things like syosetu.com.

I would want to avoid learning too many vocabularies per day, or too hard materials, however. In a sense, many vocabularies don’t need to try to remember, as some are just guessable, particularly with context; or remembering would probably eventually come with time.

About historical works, it’s also that there is historical Kanji usage; and makes me consider Kana/audio remembering and No-Furigana remembering separately. Maybe vocabularies can be mined, just also needs to be normalized to more common Kanji.

@Mz-X

On the topic of sick doses. バガボンド baited me. I was waiting for a fight and kept reading, and reading. 150 pages or so and the characters did nothing but stand and look at each other with dialogue in the backdrop. Speaks volumes of an author who can keep a reader’s interest with still images of 2 dudes watching each other sweat without attacking. It was too much I had to bail, surely they’ll move an inch by tomorrow.

This reminds me of one of my favorite pro wrestling matches. This was from March 29, 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic, when pro wrestling shows in Japan weren’t able to have crowds, so they held shows in an empty arena. In this Pro Wrestling NOAH match, Go Shiozaki is defending the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Kazuyuki Fujita.

It’s probably the most avant garde wrestling match I’ve ever seen, which is, uh, really saying something . This is a match that literally was only possible in a show without a crowd, because a crowd would never have tolerated this, haha. If anyone tries to watch it, some important context is that it’s a title match, so there’s a 60 minute time limit by default (and if it ends in a draw, the champion retains his title). There’s also no Japanese commentary, so there’s not terribly much Japanese practice here. Don’t read the title of the video if you want to go into it unspoiled.

Spoiler for the twist: the match starts with a literal 30 minute staredown between the wrestlers. As you can imagine, it’s a pretty polarizing creative choice, haha, and some fans hated it and others loved it. It made me a big fan of Go Shiozaki, personally, so that’s where I fall on that scale .

ジョジョの奇妙な冒険37
28 - 46

桜蘭高校ホスト部1
123 - 137

Seasons was about a southernly wind that brings lighter (as in not dark clouds) rain.

The handwriting is Ouran is usually a pain to read. But today? I feel like the heavens aligned or something because I could read infodump panel #4 with no problem until it got to the fan mail address. I got no need for that bit. Anyhow, that means I’m done with this week’s reading

JoJo is onto one of my favorite parts of Part 4. It’s such an absurd scene- a serial killer having to stalk a child during lunch in order to get his “lunchmate” back

[windupbird]

Summary post

Day 4: July 4th
What did I read?: 宝石商リチャード氏の謎鑑定 light novel
How much did I read?: 2.5 pages
How long did it take me?: 54 min

How did it take me an hour to read 2 pages Am I that rusty The lack of furigana was killing me a bit, but somehow it is endearing me already. I like how our narrator Seigi describes Richard’s 日本語 as fluent/smooth when he’s literally said one word so far Like guys, I can’t speak Japanese but I can say one word fluently, come on now, did we just 日本語上手 him because he’s the most beautiful human in the universe that is not me editorializing, Seigi calls him the most beautiful human he’s ever seen on multiple occasions, with eyes that you could look into forever, quote unquote. Adorable

That is the absolute weirdest thing I have ever read, thank you for that synopsis With the ending I think I can kind of see where the “horror” label comes from but it’s all a bit too absurd to actually be scary xD

Had a busy day today, so just read about half of a chapter of 花野井くんと恋の病 vol 3 for something a bit lighter.

・７月４日・

• バッテリー ch 34
• 18 pages of あの空はキミの中, finishing ch 8 and leaving off on pg 184. Ah, maybe it was “○○回裏の攻撃は” that I heard in oofuri and I’m just misremembering, since I saw that phrase in here today.
• 106 pages of さいとう市立さいとう高校野球部 (上), reading ch 1-4 and leaving off on pg 116. We went to visit family nearby and I wanted to bring a smaller (page size rather than thickness, though this is both) book than あの空はキミの中, so obviously that meant I had to start another new one, right? (sigh…) In any case, I think the prose in this one is actually easier than in 透き通った風が吹いて, since I doubt I’ve gotten that used to あさのあつこ’s writing after just one novella, but this one’s not too difficult. There’s also no 岡山弁 (though I feel like I’m p much used to it from Battery by now). I greatly suspect our MC may be ADHD though. I can’t remember when exactly I got this book, but I’m kinda glad I’m not trying to read this early on in my foray into reading in Japanese lol he gets off topic a lot in his narration and I’m sure I would have gotten very lost (heck, I do a bit now).
  Before each chapter title is a single line introducing it, and it’s the same every time but for the ending, and it’s funny how it advances: (1) さいとう市立さいとう高校野球部について、おれは語る。(2) […] おれはさらに語る。(3) […] おれはさらにさらに語る。(4) […] おれはまだ語る。(5) […] おれはしつこく語る。(6) […] おれの話はどんどん続いていく。(7) […] おれの話はどんどんどんどん続いていく。 On the one hand, I’m glad it doesn’t just keep adding on さらにs, but on the other hand, that would also be hilarious. I look forward to seeing what those look like in the second half.

Some vocab of note:

悲壮感 (ひそうかん) [n.] feeling of tragic heroism; feeling of grim resolve; sense of determination
かの [prenominal] that well-known…
※そう、かのエルミタージュ美術館のある街。
※Exactly, the city where the Hermitage Museum is located.
差支える (さしつかえる) [自一] to interfere (with); to hinder; to be hindered (from doing); to become impeded; to have difficulty; to suffer inconvenience
肉団子 (にくだんご) [n.] meatball
青味がかる (あおみがかる) [ラ五] to be tinged with blue
科白 - this was my first time seeing セリフ in kanji not as 台詞
馬子にも衣装 (まごにもいしょう) [proverb] anyone can look good in the right clothes; the clothes make the man; fine feathers make fine birds. Lit. “clothes on a packhorse driver.”
木端微塵 (こっぱみじん) [n., する v.] broken into small fragments; smashed to smithereens; fragments and splinters; smithereens
気を取り直す (きをとりなおす) [expression, サ五] to pull oneself together; to collect oneself (after a failure); to regain control of oneself
急がば回れ (いそがばまわれ) [proverb] slow and steady wins the race
浮世離れ (うきよばなれ) [n., する v.] otherworldliness; detachment from the real world; lack of worldly sense

my cousins’ dog Ruby

She’s extremely friendly, loves people, and especially loves pets and belly rubs. I mostly stayed inside and read or did WK reviews on the couch (I did sit on the porch for a bit when we first arrived, until I started getting chewed up by skeeters) where it was cool, quiet, and bug-less. A while after lunch (and it was a late lunch; if I’d known we weren’t gonna eat until two, I’da had something before we left! I was so hungry I felt like I was gonna die. I’m surprised I got as much reading done as I did… I mean, just in general, but also because of how hungry I was for much of the day) she came back inside and curled up on the couch, then after I moved my bag out of the way, she stretched out along the back of the couch next to me and shoved her hind feet in my lap to demand pets lol. I’m p sure it was more than an hour that I pet her for. I didn’t mind though; I love dogs, and I could still hold my book in my other hand and read. I’m very glad I brought さいとう高校野球部, as あの空はキミの中 is more unwieldy and woulda been more difficult to read one-handed.

They also have another dog, Raven, who’s apparently very friendly too… when she’s not busy being shy. I didn’t see much of her, and I didn’t get any pictures either.

Ouran High School Host Club by 葉鳥 ビスコ : 5ish pages

A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar : 3 entries

I read nothing on July 3rd, dashing early my hope of a perfect month, maybe just as well. Streaks can be helpful, but sometimes they can just become this pressure to do something even if it doesn’t feel meaningful to me. I was gonna read in bed, but when it was time to do that I was tired enough that I decided my body probably wanted the extra 40 mins of sleep. And I was right.

On the fourth (aka yesterday), I read 3 entries in the grammar dictionary. I’m pretty far behind, reading K when the club is finishing up M this week (no Ls though, so around 3-4 weeks behind).

Then a bit late at night I finally got to Ouran, which I’m also behind on. (You’ll notice this is a theme with me, maybe I can get caught up and stay on top my book clubs this month? I can hope.) I meant to read a whole week’s worth, but maybe because I was tired, I ran out of steam before then.

I really shouldn’t be surprised that Ouran is as hard as it is. On Natively it is level 27. While the usual Natively levels I read on are: 17, 20, 21, 23 (x2), 24. I hadn’t looked at this before and yeah, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised, and コンビニ人間 is 29. So I’ve set myself up with two much higher reads than I usually tackle.

No wonder I find myself hesitant to read.

Real late post tonight, so I’ll be quick. I’m continuing to read through volume 3 of the natural version of Crystal Hunters. I am becoming more and more comfortable with the verb tenses that you would typically see in a manga. I hope this ends up proving beneficial when I begin Horimiya in a month and a half.

I tried reading a little bit of Happiness yesterday (wanted to try some native material), but this is like my fifth time restarting it. The manga just cannot seem to hold my attention. I know it’s one of the easier reads, but I may switch it up and try to read Mitsuboshi Colors instead.

Reading
Crystal Hunters (Natural): Volume 1 (100%)
Crystal Hunters (Natural): Volume 2 (100%)
Crystal Hunters (Natural): Volume 3 (59%)

What did I just read?

Second story in the 穴らしきものに入る collection. It is called 金骨.

This one could actually be horror if it was written differently, and I could see a movie directed a certain way that would make for good, if weird, horror. But what it mainly was, was a slapstick comedy.

The beginning is solemn enough: A son is waiting in the car for his father’s cremation to finish, so he can collect the bones. But as you may guess from the title, a surprise awaits him (and all gathered mourners): the bones turn out to be pure gold.

Full story summary for the curious (spoilers of course):

People see the gold and start going crazy with greed. First the wife and then the daughter try to hug the bones (unclear whether it’s from greed or love or whatever) and of course they get burns from the hot metal. A relative hastily orders for a bucket of water. I foolishly thought it was to ease the pain from the burn, but no, he wants to cool the bones in the water so they can be picked up. Relatives are mumbling greedily about gold left and right. The two women are carried off to hospital to treat their burns, and the crematorium staff soon ushers the family out to a different room because there are other cremations waiting.

So, the father was an avid golfer, and knowing almost nothing about golf myself, it took me way too long to understand why the son was called 七鉄. But the super-obvious names don’t stop there: The deceased gold-boned father was called 金造, and, wait for it, his younger brothers are called 銀造 and 銅造 respectively.

Arriving in the hall where the family is gathered now, with the golden skeleton laid out on a table, the son realizes everyone’s faces are contorted (with greed?). Outrageous shenanigans take place, with full body cavity searches to find stolen gold, ordered x-ray scanners, even the tying down and attempted limb-tearing of the second brother, who they suddenly realize must have silver bones. The crazed crowd uses material they happen to have on hand, like duct tape, a paper cutter, a paper bag, nylon rope, etc. Because who goes to funeral without these items. They even arrange a lottery in an urn for who gets to pick a bone first.

In the end no one is killed, and when the wife and daughter return from hospital with a bento for everyone people seem to come to their senses. They eat heartily around the golden bones and discuss the deceased and the golf he so liked. After the meal, the silver-boned brother excuses himself, takes all the bones he can fit in his bag and trousers, and leaves. No one reacts, and afterwards the widow explains he was owed money by her dead husband. One by one, all other relatives more or less said the same and left with their share of gold. Some bones remained for the immediate family to place in an urn and they too left. What will we do with the bones, the son asks his mother. さあ。

Jump to one month later, the son has invited a girl from the family for golf. His golf club is pure gold. The end.

Slow day, just read a few pages in また、同じ夢を見ていた. I really like the story, but I also notice that I should be investing some time into grammar practice again. Normally I understand most, but sometimes there just comes up a confusing sentence where I can’t quite tell if it’s one thing or actually another.
But grammar studying is so much harder then just reading lol. Gonna try and throw out those excuses by tomorrow.

Day 5! Today was story 6 in 10 Nights of Dreams. Again, there’s a club thread for my detailed thoughts (these stories are short and free so if anyone would like to join and chat about it you should ), but this one was a little odd to me in the context of the collection. Feels a little out of place compared to others, but it also draws a decent bit on historical Japanese figures and the like so I wonder how much I’m missing a richer experience. It was fun to interpret, anyway. The actual reading was a bit rough and slow from tricky description, but I’m also short on sleep today. Here’s hoping I get the energy for Ghost Trick later.

As for new words, 下馬評 (げばひょう）is cool. It can relate to rumors from unrelated people but here it’s more like evaluation/comments from those who don’t have the connection/experience for that to be meaningful.

putting it here, but i actually carried on with yakuza videos yesterday and basically finished the main plot whoops. kaoru really had the worst week didn’t she. just got the majima side story and the last boss fight to go i think, so that’s maybe an hour and a half? i’ll do it another day.

also broke out 逆転検事(ぎゃくてんけんじ) 2 today! didn’t get far (about halfway through the first section of case one) but i was in the middle of other stuff at the same time so i don’t mind too much. it’s currently about the same difficulty as the first one, though i would recommend knowing some kansai-ben going in (a main character uses it fairly often). it’s not nearly as dense as some other stuff i’ve read (光(ひかる)が死(し)んだ夏(なつ) from the last challenge comes to mind) but being familiar with へん and やで and the like would be a good idea before starting it.

today’s fate episode was ロジーヌ’s (fairly average difficulty, except for when まで turned up in kanji) and today’s nhk article was this one on a river stained green by chemicals in nara and how wasn’t harmful to humans. included the longest single string of kanji i’ve seen yet: 奈良女子大学生活環境学部食物栄養学科.

words that stood out:
逆転検事(ぎゃくてんけんじ) 2 - ひょうたん (gourd), 目(め)を光(ひか)らせる (to keep a watchful eye on), 冒涜(ぼうとく) (blasphemy, sacrilege, defilement). also possibly my favourite name in the series so far 王 帝君(おう ていくん) who was a president of a country
グランブルー - 迄(まで) (in kanji!), 邂逅(かいこう) (chance meeting)
NHK - 色素(しきそ) (colouring, pigment)
