I had two cheeseburgers for July 4th!! 90% lean meat because I have no gallbladder and cannot digest fat easily. Ignore the tomato underneath this cheeseburger in this image.

A cheeseburger with sad unmelted cheese and an unimpressive bun. For some reason there is a slice of tomato underneath it. It sits on a winter cardinal plate. It is on a desk in front of a computer mouse and keyboard.

Anime scene with three teenage girls in an old house. One of them says "I have a lot of old-fashioned hobbies."

Dear Bluesky I am in Japanese flashcard hell.

A screenshot showing that 402 flashcards were reviewed in one day. The image also shows a "durtle" (of WaniKani lore) telepathically piping Japanese into a sleeping woman's head as she sleeps.

HAMmer or HANdkerchief (btw these two words totally rhyme). Which would you like?

An anime girl in a school uniform with a cloudy sky at her back leans over you. "トンカチとハンカチ　どっちがいい？" she says, holding a hammer in one hand and a handkerchief in the other.

Best way to get a guy to like you: talk him into looking at a train route display with you.

A screenshot of Final Fantasy 7 showing Cloud talking to Jessie on a train. She says, in Japanese:「ミッドガル列車路線図ディスプレイ。二人で見ればきっと楽しいと思うの。私、説明してあげるね」
"... the Midgar route map display. Come on and look at it for fun with me and I'll explain all the details."

It's not actually possible to separate these two so my picture has both.

Cocona and Papika in their sailor uniforms smiling fondly at eachother in the dark. Their faces are lit by something glowing Cocona is holding in her palms.

Why did someone create that book??

"This is the book that will cause the identity of whoever reads it to collapse?" asks a woman in a dungeon. A person wearing a mysterious black robe is presenting it to her.

Phantasy Star II continues to find all the most incredible ways to make me angry...

The resemblance is uncanny.

No One Can Stop Mr Domino box art. Mr Domino is running on a checkered thoroughfare through an amusement park with a ferris wheel and fireworks in the background.

He has a large grin on his face and has just ran onto a booster pad avoiding a cue ball and a spike track. He leaves a trail of dominos in his wake.

The scene has a frenetic chaotic feeling to it. One gets the sense that Mr Domino is the sort who cannot be stopped.

The anime knows I have trouble with kanji

A woman guild receptionist, in front of a large bookshelf, is smiling gently and asks a very young and inexperienced adventurer: "Do you have trouble with reading by chance"?

Here's the JS that runs when you submit the form: It changes the text on the page, but doesn't trigger any network requests.

A JavaScript script to implement a "fake" form submission. It is called fakeSubmit.

<script>
function fakeSubmit() {
const btn = document.querySelector(".button");
btn.innerText = "UPLOADING TO ICE DATABASE...";
btn.disabled = true;
setTimeout(() => {
btn.style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("result").style.display = "block";
}, 2500);
return false;
}

Watching Drifting Apartment in a language I'm still hopeless at and... hh hey it's the German word of the day! die Heulsuse - Crybaby This will be a completely useless word for me to remember, which means it will probably be the word I remember best of all.

An young anime girl with brown hair and a red shirt crouching outside a dark moonlit building says "Ich bin eine Heulsuse." She looks pretty word out, with scuffed skin, messy hair, and it looks like she has recently cried.

I have played (and cleared!) this game a long time ago. It's a good one! As for me I shall post Battle Hunter.

A guy in a shop room wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses says "Find this metal.". He is asking for a level one relic.

The main character thinks maybe battle butlers and maids are common, but actually these two characters are just weird.

A scene from an anime showing a maid and a butler. The butler is in some sort of fighting pose. The text at the side says ”この二人が異常なだけ”, translated as "These two are just strange".

There is apparently no escape from learning German even when relaxing by watching anime.

A drawing of a chalkboard from a Japanese German class. It says:

ZU下定詞
～することが
Deutsch zu lernen ist toll.
To learn German is nice,
Es ist toll, Deutsch zu lernen
It is nice to learn German
ドイツ語を学ぶことは素晴らしいことです
～することを
Sie hat versprochen, mir zu helten.

As you can see my flashcard review progress over the past month has a steady upward slope with absolutely zero setbacks.

It is a graph of "reviews progress" which is super bumpy with a huge dip in the middle.

The year 2035: after years of one-upmanship the anime industry is completely dedicated to more and more elaborate animations of people cutting cabbages.

Which is almost certainly one of the worse ways to learn German. But that's OK.

A giant schoolgirl hunched over in the back of a classroom looking embarrassed. Another (normal sized) schoolgirl to the side looks at her in shock.
The subtitles say: "Was ist los? Ein Titan?"

You can make me say that you're a nice owl Duolingo, but you'll never make be believe it in my heart of hearts

Read and respond: Duo ist eine Eule. Duo ist sehr nett und klug!

Duolingo is some weird form of psychological torture, but the earliest real language lessons are March. Here it is trying to convince me that I am a cat.

A duolingo character with a bushy beard and wearing a turban saying "Du bist eine Katze!". The translation below reads "You are a cat".

A good day to you, bluesky!

An anime woman with a black ponytail, black eyepatch, well-fitted black dress, and black gloves says "A good day to you laides" very elegantly while black flower petals blow past in the background.
