I think I could argue that listening to this stuff is practicing for the N2 listening test. You have to practice listening to what they’re saying as they say it at the speed that someone would speak at. Though the later content looks a little more extreme… we’ll see. haha…

We had nachos catered for lunch at work today to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It’s nice but we ran out of chips pretty fast. Maybe they could have provided some tortillas or something for tacos once the chips ran out. Unfortunately, I have no idea what Cinco de Mayo is celebrating.
this dog does not appear to be a service animal
There’s a cute dog on the train. I remember reading some person’s spiel about how we as people care more about people’s pets when they’re walking by in public, rather than about other people, even though other people have more intrinsically deeper lives than pets. But who the hell has all that energy to care about people they cross by in public? I don’t. That would be an incredible waste of energy.
But more importantly… today is こどもの日! and we’ll celebrate by listening to more of the voice work tonight! hooray
At least I got the tapestry I want… and not the boob pad a prize… haha… did I really need to get 4 of the same b2 tapestries though… smh…
koi palast
We have shu mai, some carrot mushroom roll thing, steak cubes, sea bass, and some dessert thing for lunch. My brother complains that the place is quite expensive, but each dish is indeed elevated compared to to other dim sum places. So you do get what you pay for! Notably they do not provide a bottle of soy sauce for you to pour out, so we had the shu mai as is and it is perfectly fine without. The roll thing has a good contrast in texture with the outer tofu wrap being gelatinous yet firm, steak cubes are nice and juicy and the sea bass is crispy on the outside yet moist in the inside.
Today’s lucky item from Costco is is conger eel jerky! It’s kind of like the dried squid you can find at chinese markets, but it has a sweet soy sauce flavor added to it. It costs 9 dollars which is perhaps a little expensive for 7 ounces but its JAPANESE so any price is ok. I’m a fan but probably wouldn’t make it a regular thing.
if i can draw 0p then i can toss 2p…. that’s what I had in mind… but maybe i should be considering the ura dora rate on 5p vs 2p instead (2 1p visible vs 1 4p)
I guess I don’t technically decrease my ukeire to accept iipeikou for +yaku.
HONORS
… Do I need an extra 6m/9m pair? I suppose 11s would be safer to break later?
come on bro its like 40% chi don’t do this to me
fixed blocks already so move to safe tile
trying to atozuke… interesting that kagashi has a LOWER pon rate here
I was thinking if I draw 4m then I can use it better with 224567m vs 224678m but uhh I guess it doesn’t matter. so let’s hold the more outside tiles
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you that’s what
>rips his 1 shanten hand apart WHAT i dont want to deal in ok?
atozuke gods i kneel
more 1m/3m dead than 7m/9m so 2m is safer. also 2m is genbutsu to shimocha whereas 8m is genbutsu to NONE
Definitely more unhinged in this one than the others and kind of what I was more expecting for a freaky looking character. I like it!
Spent most of the morning running through Pragmata on Lunatic and wiped a few times on the last boss.
lease due soon
A routine visit to California’s Great America to start the day. Luckily, ride ops are much faster than opening day this season two months ago in March. 5 minutes a dispatch is slow (but not worse than Fuji Q Highland’s, hehe), but 2-3 min is good enough.
a detroit pizza
I feel like this Detroit pizza has two contrasting sides to it, the soft pillowly breaded portion and the thicc crispy buttery crust. It’s like chinese cuisine, where you have two contrasting textures together in the same dish. It’s nice! I should learn how to describe and critique food, probably, could be a good skill to have… soon ™
a tantalizing balance of pure vermont maple syrup
and today’s grocery shopping. Since we have season ‘dining plans’ for Six Flags parks, we get a panda express meal to go from California’s Great America. Luckily, I won’t ever get bored of orange chicken. mmm chinese fast food slop
this is, unfortunately, easier than touhou lunatic 1ccs
Came back and finished up the last boss. I opted for a tanky/defensive build so I can make lots of errors and outlast the boss, rather than trying to blow it up with big damage. I think the ‘perfect dodge’ window is probably a little too big in this game, but it’s just a single player game. if i want self e-fame i can go back to dark souls 3 or something. or go back to elden ring and finish malenia and its dlc, which i won’t.
I thought about this but I didn’t wanna cut 0s or 7s to get to tenpai. too dangerous!
*cuts 0s anyway*
1m < 124s. I think this will take some time to INTERNALIZE. also, hon itsu?
true
damn 7m is bad now even though it was like 2 turns ago… it’s after 3 calls though lol true
im leaning chiitoi/toitoi but I guess we should still prefer 4s tile acceptance if we dont land it
kanchans > isolation as back up plan. but 2p is once cut! ahh
my dora 3…………………………………………………….
HONORS
somehow I figured 8s could still pass after the 7s cut from kamicha. But it could have been like, cut 7s from 777899s or 45667799s. greedy!
dora greeders… btfo…
I dama’d shanpon haku to win but riichi dora ryanmen is *probably* better. if I wanted to fold i woudn’t have dealt 4m, but kamicha hasn’t overflowed manzu just yet so I still have time! but what if I want to fold later? maybe I don’t care with only 4 draws left… which… is why I should have riichi’d? woah
Hard drive isn’t big enough to include the first three… I wonder where all the space went?
I did deadlifts today but I don’t miss how much the bar roughs my hands up. I’m not even using a power bar! Now I’m gonna chafe up my dakis again. I suppose this is the price of progress.
maybe not quite like that
played a lot of tenhou today. hopefully i don’t have to play on mjs until next event. hehe
we have a pair already, so don’t need aryanmen 7899p
wrong honor lol
7s acceptance?
I didn’t actually think these were so close. Only cause 3m came out after the fact. Hehe
terminals?
Honors
If nothing is safe then everything is safe! but we should use the 3 2s already cut as reason for 1s instead of randomly tossing anything else. Once chance 23s tenpai
>4.6% 和了確率 ok my bad ill fold this correctly next time since we’re 3shanten. maybe you could also just not rippatsumo on my dealer turn too? sheesh
w-what if i get itsu….
CHI? I guess chanta nomi is alright too but kinda valueless, but we should focus on ending toimen’s dealership asap. i got to 3m tenpai in two turns though
suckygiri. but muh 0p acceptance
what do we need 1z for?????????????????????????????
