Card Captor Sakura volume 2 or Aria: the masterpiece volume 2 โ€“ progress report

Yesterday: Read up to page 341, finished chapter 19.
Today: Read up to page 376, finished chapter 20 and Aria: the masterpiece volume 2. :tada:

I still have a lingering anxious feeling today but at least itโ€™s better than yesterday. Finished chapter 20 which was cute albeit predictable, and with that the second volume. I have officially reached my goal of reading the first 2 volumes of Aria before the end of this year with several days to spare. :smiling_face:

While the 3rd volume is already at my disposal, I have just gotten the message that my next order may take a while longer (around a month). Therefore, Iโ€™ll switch to mostly reading Card Captor Sakura during the week again and Aria on the weekends which will prevent me from finishing Aria volume 3 too soon.


Word or expression of the day:

ใƒ›ใƒฉ่ฉฑ - (ใปใ‚‰ใฏใชใ—) - tall story, tall tale, cock-and-bull storyโ€‹

Honourable mention(s):
ไบบๆททใฟ - (ใฒใจใ”ใฟ) - crowd of people
ใƒใƒใŒๅฝ“ใŸใ‚‹ - (ใฐใกใŒใ‚ใŸใ‚‹) - to incur divine punishment, to pay for oneโ€™s sinsโ€‹
็ฒพ้€ฒ (+ใ™ใ‚‹) - (ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ˜ใ‚“) - adherence to a vegetarian dietโ€‹

Can always recommend taking some calm, deep breaths.

Indeed, taking deep breaths is very sound advice for anyone experiencing anxiety or stress and I want to thank you for mentioning it. :blush:

I wonโ€™t elaborate much on the kind of anxious vicious cycle I went through. Iโ€™ll just say that it also involved my blood pressure being too high that made me even more anxious in return โ€“ but taking deep breaths is exactly one of the strategies I employed: did a few short breathing sessions yesterday and today in the form of slow, deep abdominal breaths while lying down in a relaxing position and it helped a bit.

ๅนปๆป…ใ•ใ‚ŒใŸใ€‚

Bookmarks can be saved (a little inconveniently), with percentage, by scroll screenshot on Android. On web browser version, percentage doesnโ€™t show. Sync can be done by pasting in Notion, where long vertical images arenโ€™t shrunkened.

  • ๅฒ่จ˜ (front to page 44, half of Ch.1)

Perhaps around the start of ๆผข Dynasty. I would be nice if I can associate names with my Chinese dialectโ€ฆ (where I donโ€™t need Hanzi), not really the Mandarin one, and I donโ€™t always find an answer. (I donโ€™t give up the hope of learning Mandarin in the future, though. Perhaps next two years.)

Bind play

I also touched a little of BU$TAFELLOWS. So, I reinstalled on my Android tablet as @MissDagger started the club, and has a good idea on how to make the VN linear, and not hurried; so now easily manageable.

Prologue + Chapter 1 is free on Android, but more than twice as expensive than Steam version. (Around 3.5 times.) However, Steam has no free version. (Steam is translated-to-EN sub version, though.)

Interesting words
  • ใŽใ“ใกใชใ„ = clumsy
  • ็‰นๅ…ธ(ใจใใฆใ‚“) = special benefits. Extra stuff from the game.
  • ๅคไปŠ(ใ“ใ“ใ‚“) = all times; ancient and modern times.
  • ้‡Žๅคช(ใฎใถใจ)ใ„ = audacious
  • ่ˆ—่ฃ…(ใปใใ†) = pavement
  • ้›ช่ž(ใ‚†ใใฉ)ใ‘ = melting of snow. Alternate version is indeed ้›ช่งฃ(ใ‚†ใใฉ)ใ‘ from ่งฃ(ใจ)ใ‘ใ‚‹.
  • ไธก้šฃ(ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใฉใชใ‚Š) = both sides
  • ไธ‹ๅ‘(ใ’ใณ)ใ‚‹ = to become vulgar. Also see ไธ‹ๅ‘(ใ’ใณ).

  • ๅฌ(ใ‚)ใ—ๆ•(ใจ)ใ‚‹ = to arrest (e.g., of a police)
  • ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใ›ใ—ใ‚ = setting as example. I see as ่ฆ‹(ใฟ)ใ›ใ‚‹ + ็ท (ใ—)ใ‚ใ‚‹.
  • ๅฟƒ็ฅžๅ–ชๅคฑ(ใ—ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใใ†ใ—ใค) = of an unsound mind
  • ใปใจใผใ‚ŠใŒๅ†ท(ใ•)ใ‚ใ‚‹ = things calm down. The particle changed to ใฎ in context. ็†ฑ(ใปใจใผ)ใ‚Š perhaps comes from ็ซ(ใป)้€š(ใจใŠ)ใ‚Š?
  • ่บซ(ใฟ)ใใ‚‹ใฟ = all one has. Dictionary suggests ่บซใใ‚‹ใฟใฏใŒใ‚Œใ‚‹ and ่บซใใ‚‹ใฟใฏใŽใจใ‚‰ใ‚Œใ‚‹, but in context uses ๅ‰ฅ(ใฏ)ใŒใ™.

Iโ€™ve only posted briefly last week or so.

The first week of my overseas trip has been fairly busy but Iโ€™ve still read a tiny bit every day. Today was a little better.

16/12 7 pages ๅคœใ‚ซใƒ•ใ‚ง, 3 pages ใ‹ใฟใ•ใพใŒใพใกใŒใˆใ‚‹ (finished weekโ€™s reading)

So going into next week Iโ€™m quite behind, but I think Iโ€™ve got scope to catch up. Except for ใŠใฐใกใ‚ƒใ‚“ใŸใกโ€ฆ where Iโ€™m falling back quite a bit.

BU$TAFELLOWS :moneybag:

I had so many hopes for today. Holiday reading in Swedish and English. Finish the prologue of Bustafellows, but no.

At least I got started on Bustafellows, figuring out the unmentioned (why?!) keybindings.

I also got my little cat a new toy. A long tunnel with balls at either end. First impressions suggests he liked it a lot. :smiley:

Edit: Apparently I was like 2-3 screens away from finishing the prologue so on the way to starting another game on my Switch, I did end up finishing the prologue. :joy:

Today I read chapter 35 of Happiness, finishing Volume 7.
It ended on a cliffhanger, which seems to be happening to me a lot this week!
I need to get faster at reading so I can stop having to wait to see what happens next in so many books :sweat_smile:

I love Abbacchio. Such a shitty, trashy guy. I sent a pic of the scene where he joins others beating up a guy because in the anime, they cut to him finishing a glass of wine before joining them and a friend asked me what some text in the corner was. I had only skimmed it in my reading last night! Turns out that he was using the now unconscious guy to test the gangโ€™s food for poison. Heโ€™s so awful. I love him. I have awful taste in anime men.

I read ch 4 of JJK0, finishing the volume! 0 was good, I liked it. Also, Yuuta punched Getou in the face this chapter, which was great. It wasnโ€™t as difficult as Iโ€™d thought it would be to stop myself from immediately picking up the novelization, and I spent the rest of the evening just reading in English.

I also took a peek at vol 1, and itโ€™s got normal-length chapters. Iโ€™m not used to reading manga with such long chapters, so it was kinda throwing me off with this (ๅ›ใซๅฑŠใ‘, too, for that matter), which may be why I only managed one chapter a day, even though I definitely went into it yesterday feeling like I could read both 3 and 4.

Some vocab of note:

ใ‚ใ‚ใ›ใ‚‹ [ไป–ไธ€] to put blade to blade; to fight. I can definitely see how this is related to โ€œto match,โ€ especially with the English phrase, โ€œto match blades.โ€
ๅŽš้ก” (ใ“ใ†ใŒใ‚“) [noun, ใช-adj.] impudence; audacity; shamelessness; effrontery. And here I learn that ๅŽš also means โ€œbrazen,โ€ not just โ€œthickโ€ and the like.

Day 37 Progress:
ใŠ้šฃใฎๅคฉไฝฟๆง˜ ๅ››ๅ†Š - 50.92% โ†’ 57.47%

Horrid day for reading. Stumbled over a lot of basic things I thought I knew, and also the book was just awful. Closest Iโ€™ve ever gotten to wanting to drop it, or at least take a break.

ๅ‘จใ‚ใพใญ telling ็œŸๆ˜ผใพใฒใ‚‹ that she shouldnโ€™t be exposing her damn legs because it might attract the inadvertent impassioned gazes of boys. And the fact that itโ€™s justified by every single boy apart from ๅ‘จ and his friends being some insane lusthound for ็œŸๆ˜ผ. What an awful trope that should have died 30 years ago.

Hopefully better and less painful reading session tomorrow.

Word of the Day: ็ซฏๆœซใŸใ‚“ใพใค - computer terminal or device like smartphone, tablet, etc. I like the idea of the Internet being vast and immense and your device is only accessing a tiny tip at the edge of it.

Itโ€™s amusing reading these guys predictions of the future from 100 years ago, they somewhat feel exactly the same as peopleโ€™s predictions these days aka: โ€œoh no we be doomed I tell you, society ainโ€™t what it used to beโ€

Card Captor Sakura volume 2 โ€“ progress report

Yesterday: Read up to page 376, finished chapter 20 and Aria: the masterpiece volume 2.
Today: Started reading Card Captor Sakura volume 2, read up to page 37, finished chapter 6.

My anxiety has passed (for now) and I could read without the intent of distracting myself from it again. Iโ€™ll stick to Card Captor Sakura during this and the next week, perhaps even until the end of the month. No idea, how far Iโ€™ll get until the 31st but it would be nice if I could finish at least volume 3 by then.

Yeah, I know neither of those said Japanese. But that is just how it is sometimes. :woman_shrugging:

I did spend a lot of time on Japanese-ish related things. Just not reading. ^^
