今日もお疲れさま!超回復めし | L 32 | 100% | Cookbook |  |
Haven’t had much time at all to read this week as graduation creeps ever closer, but I just wanted to make an update post about finishing 超回復めし for the “non-fiction” category of bingo. I was skeptical at first because there is such a clear prioritization of foods that aid exercise performance (a complicated topic for me these days aha) but there ended up being several really delicious-looking recipes that I studiously read through and bookmarked for future meals ^–^
Keep reading! See you next time

tiny reading update, it’s been 2 weeks since I restarted anki for sentence mining, and about that same since I started reading 怪人二十面相 (with some days off), and I think I’ve definitely hit the part where it’s a smooth read now. There was a lot of new vocabulary initially since mystery/crime is a new genre for me, but once I got those, a lot of the words get repeated a lot. Even reading late at night before bed I’m managing 7 or 8 pages, which is a huge improvement from my ability to read maybe 2-3 pages of とらドラ！ with full focus last year 
So today I wanted to see how much of it I could give it with like a solid day of actual focused reading. Didn’t end up quite doing as much as I hoped because of some social stuff, but I still managed to read about 20 pages today!
For anki, it looks like I’ve added 105 new words, which is a fair chunk, but I haven’t felt overwhelmed or anything or had bad recall. I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing differently this time with anki compared to sentence mining last summer. Maybe just reading so much has primed my brain better or something
Also it’s apparently my 
day! I spent a lot of time on wk before joining the forums, and didn’t really start posting or anything until joining the read every day challenges in 2022, but I guess it is the day I joined the forums! A mere 3 years ago, oh how much can change in 3 years

STEINS;GATE 比翼恋理のだーりん (+new Ending)
I got myself a new laptop, but it comes with severe graphic glitches, which seems to be a problem with on-board graphic card.
Something like this. It happens with settings, tips, achievements, and backlog. At least backlog is readable (not pretty), but not anything else. The original STEINS;GATE appears to have no problem, however.
Maybe it’s time to boot my old desktop PC sometimes, to see Achievements.
Words of the day
- 素 = raw material; stock
- 副次的 = secondary; byproduct. Also 二次的 and 付随的.
- 人騒がせ = a scaremonger
- 仰角 = angle of elevation (e.g.
aiming upward). Angle of depression is 俯角 or 伏角. - 鉤爪 = claws; talons
. 鉤 / 鈎 is a hook

A few more pages from くまクマ熊ベア. Away from home visiting family so I can’t read a lot. But a little is better than nothing!

I ended up finishing the book! The ending was better than I expected. Almost makes up for all the messed up stuff that happened earlier. Just almost.

I just wrapped up アオハライド, which was one of my goals for this challenge. The characters’ actions in the latter part of this series got a bit irritating, but it pulls together towards the end, with an almost excessively sweet happy ending. Up until now, I’ve mostly read single manga volumes, so completing a whole series feels like a milestone!
As for what’s next, I’ll decide tomorrow, but probably some prose.
- アオハライド (13) (pp. 138-184)

Still one day behind with tracking as I intend to play some more 13 sentinels after shutting down the computer. I was recording with the ingame progress bar for 13 sentinels, but now I discovered there’s 3, so it might total to 300% by the end. Oh well. Anyway, also finished out 放浪息子８ to keep my one a week completion rate up. Nitorin and Takazuki have both socially transitioned in school for the first time which is exciting and nerve-wracking, even as the reader

Chapter 2 of 葬送のフリーレン today.
The BBC is only reading half of the chapter this week but I powered through to the end because I wanted to know what happened.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve read manga, but today I completed two volumes. Was looking through my email inbox and found the cover art for the first volume. Ended up reading it since the entire volume was for free on Bookwalker. Had some coins to spare so ended up reading vol 2 as well. The art style is just up my alley.
I’m surprised by the visual quality, even on a big screen zooming in it looked good both in the art and the text bubbles. There’s full furigana, so it’d probably fit the Beginner BC.

Reading on the island went well. Ive caught up with the IBC now (including finishing this week’s reading). Now just また,同じ夢を見ていた and the intermediate dictionary to catch up.
This week will be busy with diving and conference stuff so will aim just small reads each day.

didn’t get a whole lot of reading done (aside from some longer bits on pixiv) but notable things were this nhk article (nandenan article) and the renshuu book club harder read, which was a short fantasy story about the best friend of the hero who saved the world. was split into two parts, one from the friend’s perspective and one from the hero’s, was pretty good!
also learned the word メタい which idk why this stuck with me? just feels unexpected

A lot of Harry Potter this week, as chapters have been getting considerably bigger, so I got a bit behind. Now I’m back on track, but still need to catch up with the other book clubs.
