No, it can't be! You! Me?​
Blindsided you didn't I?
No foreshadowing could
ever have prepared you for
such a shocking revelation.
:o I, for one, am
completely shocked.
Why...why did you
drop a moon on me!​
It's not like I wanted to stop
you o-or anything. I just wanted
to have some villainous fun.
Riiiiiiight. I also
dabble in bad bear
buffoonery as well.
I guess I can understand.​
The point is I can't let you
become the baddest bear
in all the land. That title
belongs to me.
Welp, wanna janken to
settle this or what? I'm
exhausted.​
Here catch.
*throws senzu bean*
I...really!? *chews*
Soo...wanna anime fight?​
You're on loser.

You are correct on both counts. Platted right before traveling for a friend's wedding and just got back from that tonight, so today is my day 0 for starting again.

Thanks, I appreciate it lol.

Congrats on another 100 Ultimate! Do you feel, enlightened?
I wish I could say yes, but I feel more attuned to my surroundings than go that far. I do feel less nervous tho, which I've may have interpreted as confidence. Or perhaps it it just a component of it, I dunno.

In any case, its a great means for focusing, reviewing, and relaxation for me. In the beginning of practice I was fidgety and tense in my facial muscles. Not sure why. As I progressed, I calmed my breathing and adjusted my body subconsciously for better posture.

Then I began recognizing old and new interests alike that I wasn't fully aware of. Long story short, this felt like an important one.

Hey thanks Qwark! I'll be around again for sure, I've inherited my next habit with duolingo next.

But that one is more long-term. 66 days so far, but my metric this time is to finish all units for japanese. I'll use sporadic tracking because I'm going to let the courses dictate my motivation this time.

Got my ringfit and medicine ball in yesterday, back to the gym tonight! My buddy already flaked out on me sadly.

But by myself I get time for weights in as well.

Oh my gosh, hope you're doing ok!

My schedule's been all out of whack the past couple weeks so my habits have fallen off. I'm going to try and get back into the swing of things tomorrow.

I haven't posted in a long time, but German study is still going fine. Up to day 97 on the Duolingo streak! With the recent announcement of a new Monkey Island game, I think I'm gonna try to play one of the old ones in German.

Hope you're alright, Anustart!

You're doing great. I'm still struggling to finish off Unit 3 in japanese. I'm making slow progress with the conditional grammar and practically everything is in kana and kanji.

This recent activity feels like an uphill battle with compound sentences and tricks like hiding particles within word bubbles. Testing to see if I'm paying attention lol.

To be specific, it is the word はこ which by itself means box. However, it is used as two separate particles at times that just are bunched together to mess with the learner. (This is still inaccurate as only は is used to denote a subject, and こ begins another word.)

I'm really proud of my progress though. I've almost acquired kana reading speed as it's pronounced. It's pushing my cognitive load though and I have to take breaks.

Lol, is this about Duolingo? Also, dang you're already at the end of unit 3?? That's really fast work. I'm mid way through 3 and struggling too. It's really hard, but I'm just kinda trying to brute force my way through it. I go back a lot to the older lessons and have a lot of those mastered so that helps with memorizing patterns.

Yeah you got it lol.

I've been brute forcing it too at times, but had to change it up because my misses were higher from such tricks as I tried to explain above. Understanding where and when to use certain particles is a challenge, yet pretty consistent.

I think I'm still weak with the some conjugations of compound verbs, modifier verbs, and verbs that indicate when something is given to or received from someone. It's complicated.

Welp, I messed up my streak already. Accidentally slept in this morning. Will try for day 1 of PFK tomorrow. Productive mornings are the hard part for me, I'd be such a better adult if I was a morning person. Oh well, at least flossing and kanji are going well. I'll nail this habit eventually.

Also I've started playing some of my favorite games in Japanese. Pokemon Yellow, which is kinda tough cuz it's all in kana so I have to sound everything out. The other one is Chrono Trigger, which is Kanji, but also very slow for me. Google Translate on my phone has an option that I can trace the letters with my finger and it'll tell me what they mean. That's been a godsend and has really sped up the process. It's been tough and slow, but also a fun experience so far.

Update: Got drunk with my bowling team last night (it was our last week of bowling), so once again I did not have a productive morning :/ Will try again tomorrow.

Don't sweat it too much. As per Anustart's astute observation I have been lounging around in my base cub form.

Personally I need the lower stress activity, but I know I want to get back up to snuff again at some point.

So I'll take a sporty serpentine route a la inspired by resident Tentacular Green Tentacle.

Finished an activity today and trying to be more consistent. I'm on track to moving back up and trying not to overuse my supervillain powers. I don't need to be number one, my goal is the language. Just the learning yep. Just the learning.

Ugh, I don't want to crush them in the top three but I also do-hoo-hoo. Conflicted. You know what, I'm just gonna chill.

It has been getting more interesting lately though. Some of the words and phrases are broken down to their kana atomic levels on the hard exercises. I can't just be safe with a whole phrase bubble anymore. Luckily my brain is kicking in some muscle memory. Day 86 so far.

My German study streak is now at 106 days. I'm gonna try to go for that 200 streak.

I also bought Curse of Monkey Island and started playing in German. Learned how to say "cursed", "uncursed" and other useful piratey terms.

I also want to try starting up some kind of exercise-related goal. To keep it simple, I'm just gonna do some push-ups everyday for now. Just did some, so day one for push-ups is done.

I made it to Day 91 so far. I decided to get a little more serious and doing some Anki sessions to supplement the kanji learning.

Qwark and Anustart, you two keep sniping victories on me and now I gotta keep on my toes because of you! How dare you!

Today I got a 3.1 on one of those Duolingo quizzes and I was a little stunned with the progress. I dare say I know some Japanese? Hell yeah. Let's go.

I'll follow you into battle for the 200 day prize as well Green Tentacle. This isn't just a regular habit mountain, this is a quest into the stratosphere.

Yeah, odd thing was after the wreck my leg felt fine, but 2 or 3 days after right my right has been jacked up. Figured it would go away but here we are a month later :/

Not unbearable by any means and it's getting slightly better each day!

Alright, I'm officially going to finish Unit 3 tomorrow. My resistance to the massive influx of words learned is giving way to familiarity.

Anustart, your ability to bear that beating and keep going is impressive. I may start a running routine too. My family is doing a 10-miler over in D.C. in the fall and I have to start training.

Congrats! I kinda hate to admit it, but that streak-milestone-firing-up animation in Duolingo does really motivate me to keep going, lol. Hope your recovery keeps on progressing!

My German study is still going (I think I'm on day 115 or something now), but my new push-up habit didn't last long. Gonna start it back up again today.

Did an 11.5 mile bike ride after work tonight. Was super windy but relaxing and a great way to decompress at the end of the day.

I know it was a good work out because I ate after and I'm starving again 30 minutes later.

Doing a new rotation since I've thrown long cycle sessions in, going to do Weights day > Run Day > Bike Day > Rest Day.

Since I've been doing longer and longer runs I've been doing less and less weights to make time. So I've got to rectify that by separating them into their own days.

Yesterday was a rest day so tonight was weights for an hour. Got more lifting in tonight than I have in quite some time and feels great.

Tomorrow will be an hour of running, maybe hour and a half depending on how I feel!

Hey awesome Anustart! You are doing great. It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been in a strange headspace lately (not bad, just weird), but I'm going to be pumping back up once again.

Still doing the duolingo (Day 113), but I've been getting a lot more supplemental material to support myself. Anki, Wanikani drills, and some physical books I ordered.

I took a page out of Green Tentacle's book and changed my Switch language settings to Japanese too. Started playing Origami King again and just taking my time pronouncing everything. I learned that Bowser uses wagahai as a pronoun? Pretty boss if you ask me.

Edit: Ohohoho you bums sneaking victories over on me. I'm lightin' this bonfire up.
