I bought my Japanese textbook and workbook yesterday for uni. It was expensive, but getting away from the PC and being able to dig into something on paper helps.

I’ve self-studied the language for a good while, but the last thing I want to do is miss something important in the curriculum that will bite me in the ass later, so I’m starting with the first class. Hopefully as a result it’ll be a less stressful course that will start my GPA off on the right foot.

Bought a tent for two, but it's just for me. Store was out of one-person tents.

bring me when you go camping

my old mouse broke so I got a new one
I decided to try a trackball mouse ^o^
the driver came on two floppy disks

>>12266
Those mangas look very nice and up my alley. Are they all in the same series?

The camera is very pretty too

>>12271
Is that a youmu mousepad? It looks cute.

>>12272
They're anthologies with some very unique settings
>>12269
I've always wanted those little mini tent displays but apparently they're handmade and several times more expensive than a normal one

>>12275
yes :D

A nice cup of coffee from the local cafe keeps for going for half a day.

I found a translation of Diogenes Laërtios' Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers in my native language at the bookstore today. It was very surprising and appreciated.

>>12289
That's a great find, sushi! I love Laertius, even if he can be kind of an unreliable weirdo.

I really loved invitation from a crab, but I went hunting for the other anthology and I couldn't find it anywhere. Is it in english as well? I was under the impression the second one getting an english release got delayed.

On topic, I recently purchased a nice little mini-ottoman cause I have a habit of putting my feet up at my desk, previously this was on my trash bin, which got somewhat broken due to this habit. The ottoman is much much more comfortable, but I don't think I'd have appreciated it as much if I wasn't a lazy bum who kept using a cold metal tube as a footrest for so long.

Ashizuri Suizokukan was done by Illiminati manga 6 years ago, don't know if the links are still alive outside of Madokami.
As far as i know this is the only other tranbslated panpanya work.

>>12283
Indeed. A little boost to end the work-day.

I nabbed a book about Saddam Hussein for 3 buckaroonies at a milsurp shop in some Harley Davidson town where boomers were hitting blunts outside the bar.

Bought an old arcade machine that still works.

I bought this very small keyboard. The build quality is very good and i like it. (not my pitcture because I dont have a good camera so this is just one from google images. it's the same keyboard.)

>>12320
Coffee!

>>12733
Why a small keyboard?

>>12753
small things are comfy i think. More desk space for mouse when im playing vidya is how i justify it to myself but really i just thought it was cool

Bought a second hand dslr. Wish I wasn't too anxious to go out with it though. For now I will go to my campus on the weekends to photograph stuff

Dedicated cameras > cameras on smartphones

have fun carrying a dedicated camera with you everywhere you go. the tiny camera you have with you is better than the medium format you left at home.

i know some people do carry a camera with them everywhere, but i think they live more interesting lives than me.

I'm getting into hydro farming and bought water testing pens and various chemicals for pH regulation and fertilization. There is a lot to learn and great potential for food production on limited space.

It's not life, choosing the motive for a worthwhile shot. The intention to take pictures with a dedicated device lets you see the world in a different light, like a skateboarder noticing good spots to shred or a sprayer pinning down their next canvas around town. I stopped taking a camera to hikes for example, because I just kept hunting for good pictures instead of enjoying nature.

I bought:
* a friends old laying unused camera, some csushi roll amateur grade dslr
* a bunch of old external drives, need to figure out a structure for it all
* first in a while actually well thought out b-day-gift for my sister, it's rad as heck
* some caffeinated chocolate
* some clothes from a surplus store (special catch mention: a pair of really cheap full leather boots)
* a portable stove

Most exited about the stove actually. Really need to get out more, and I'd feel more inspired for mini adventures out in nature if I'm also planning to cook a little something out there, or just brew up something hot and nice. Really lucky that I found it too. All the other ones are all bought up, lots of preppers vacuuming up all the survival type gear right now.
The camera is also exiting, just so much stuff to learn. Dense material to absorb, even if it's theoretically simple. Will add to get the pull into the forest though, practice taking photos out there.

Already planning my next little bag of shopping,
* board game (either-of; chess , shogi , backgammon) (anybody know which is easiest to play casually with friends?)
* deck of cards
* some books from my read-bucket

>board game (either-of; chess , shogi , backgammon) (anybody know which is easiest to play casually with friends?)

For casual play backgammon. Chess and shogi can be fun if you're both really in to the game, but they are 100% strategy games and if there's a significant skill difference the better player will almost always win.

Makes sense, thanks a bunch!
Also explains a situation with a friend lol, I always want to keep playing a game with him (I barely know the rules, only play for the simplest of funs), but he keeps being weird about it like I've been practicing in advance or something to pwn his butt.

>>13116
why not a horizontal garden?

>>13610
Not them, but I think the main motivation is space saving which can be especially significant for plants that dont grow very tall.

well, I've never been one for dressing stylishly but a man gets tired of wearing plain black and blue clothes years on end. after looking through some old clothes I wanted to get rid of I tried looking up the brand of one shirt I had found on asos listed(though I bought it at goodwill) and tried finding it again, to asses its worth I suppose. I noticed they were having a killer spring sale and in myriad pages of my trademark obsessive scrolling a couple things caught my eye. I'm not one to kowtow to high priced name brands, something unique that fits my personal aesthetic and offers function and style is enough for me, and a good price tag rounds it out nicely. plus I get to finally live out my childhood dreams of dressing like a cool anime character. now I just need to get the personality down.

Got some green (raw) coffee beans that I'm gonna try to roast.

>>13651
Nice! How do you plan to roast them? Wait for the second crack! ^u~
