mangas

Hooray my mangas are here

The crew knew the bugs get bigger in the summer, but this was unexpected. #modelrailroading

oh i was so confused about the carousel post saying "swipe through to learn more" it just straight up wasn't rendering the carousel at all for me. doesn't seem ideal tbh

my girlfriend had a dream about matching halloween costumes for us- as weather reporter and Weather-themed Demiurge

le gentrification

hōjicha time

oh!! packidge tomorrow! and also the other packidge which, i'm not sure what it is but i think it's the boards of canada album i ordered

fuckit i'm gonna make some fries (and by make i mean put in the oven from a bag)

still find myself saying "goedemoggel" to people... god, how old is that ad now

also man bluesky search in japanese is bad. i was trying to confirm what a mufo's cats are called and i searched for their exact names but only one of them yielded any results... so i thought i got the other one wrong but then i scrolled their feed and found them mentioning that exact name

why is firefox advertising a "split view" feature to me... i could do that already through my window manager... that way i can even do it with other applications than just my browser

ﾖｯ

once again forced to look up who the main character is

read a bit about bike trailers again. tbh what i think i really want is a good excuse to do some welding

always fascinated by people who build stuff without using a tool that seems like it would be very obviously useful in this case (as is often the case) it's mainly a welder. maybe also machine tools

kinda regretting not buying a new bike this weekend tbh. i should have decided on friday instead of like, saturday night

oh huh when i was in matsumori i saw a lot of warning signs for マムシ which was a word i didn't recognize (but i knew from the drawing it was a snake), turns out the mamushi is a kind of pit viper, one of the most venomous snakes in japan

time for more tea

maybe i'll get around to fixing my irrigation today. still a bunch more rain forecast though so i'm not really in a hurry

ugh woke up at like 2-3 am again for some reason. did i accidentally give myself biphasic sleep anyway went back to sleep eventually and i've been catching up on dishes this morning

i decided i gotta read another manga that's not yotsuba and that i have available (packidge hopefully arrives next week)... nothing really calling out to me so maybe i will continue houkago teibou nisshi (the fishing one)

okay i did some more research and chamomix c8 is probably better for me. difference seems to be shimano nexus 8 vs alfine 8 hub gear and i think i'm ok with the nexus 8 if that makes it like 20% cheaper

one thing i'm still pondering bikewise is whether i want a belt drive again. previous bike had it and i wasn't super impressed but it also seems hard to buy a new bike in the price segment and with the features i want (i 100% want hydraulic disk brakes) without one

i meant to sort out a bike purchase yesterday but it's a significant expense (probably will spend like a grand) so i kinda chickened out lol

there's a bunch of those "women's art" accounts and i can never remember which ones are terfs they should just put in their bios whether they are, to make it easier

oh yeah i've been trying to take pictures in the yard but it's been kind of difficult to not just make it look like an indistinguishable mass of green. i think i managed a bit better earlier today though

repeating "i do not need a new hobby" to myself like a mantra

it's absolutely pouring out time to sing along to this

extremely cool handmade ceramic plate from a friend

oh it's already nearly japanese lesson time but my teacher asked me to think about new goals and i kinda forgot

Goedemorgen Kleine plevier 🥰👀 (vanuit een hut) #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth #birds

saw the word 針葉樹 (shinyōju) and i recognized all the kanji but i was like "what the hell is a hook leaf tree" but of course 針 means "needle" here, not "hook", and it just means "conifer"

saw a video by a channel i didn't recognize in my youtube subscriptions and got real confused until i realized the place i bought the knife told me i'd get a 5% discount if i subscribed to their youtube channel that's how they getcha

huh i forgot i attempted to plan this out beforehand. i ended up kind of winging it but this is nearly exactly how i ended up cycling anyway lol

getting to see my trip pictures again in the notifications because a beloved mufo went through my media tab :)

learned a new word 肥大化 hidaika 'swelling', 'enlargement'

saw some AI-generated-looking "people also ask about" thing on that reddit post and it says "Best anime for beginners to watch" is watching anime a skill now

thinking about Hellshake Yano again

hmm... tummy hort for some reason

Every time one of my beloved mufos talks about a movie they like I get a little sad at how much stuff is out there and how bad I am at getting around to watching it

Dentist time let's see if my many crimes have caught up with me yet

i'm always saying this

oh yeah so i get the impression work wants me to use AI stuff more but i couldn't really think of anything i wanted it to do so yesterday i was like "here fetch my myanimelist page and give me some recommendations" and it just uh. failed to parse my anime list properly. baffling stuff

same
