Yes it is.

------------------------------------
So today, I tried to get some Japanese study accomplished. Figured it'd be a good idea to find out how to say something's stuck on the bottom of your foot. Like "I got a splinter stuck on the bottom of my foot". So I tried to google it and long search short I came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jY7BLQVMc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-z7-do7Zu0. And I still don't know how to say "I got something stuck to the bottom of my foot" in Japanese............

Thank you for the support guys I do appreciate it.

RE: IPA
I have learned some of the IPA but not anything in depth. I basically have a vague idea of how it's all pronounced. The hard part with IPA is that most materials out there don't take advantage of the IPA. So then the issue becomes finding materials that do take advantage of it.

...of course the real question, good Twister, is what has happened to you that has so derailed your linguistic improvements? It is hoped it was not overly traumatic...?
Well.....
Alright to cut it down to the bare minimum to just post this thing. Basically someone I thought was a friend and someone else I was romantically interested in both thought I was crazy and wanted me dead over things I said while majorly sleep deprived. Again I'm strong enough that I didn't get depressed over it or anything of that nature but yeah. It just takes time to get back into the mindset to learn all these languages. Day by day I improve my mindset to get back into the mode of thought needed to learn all this. And I will get back to it. I'm charging forward and I will accomplish the quest I set out to complete. It's just going to take time and effort.

(je ne compte pas le manque d'accents, qui est sûrement la faute de votre clavier).
Actually I can use accents on my keyboard. I was just lazy. éùûîôâêàçè and more üöäßìòàù. I can type most any language on my keyboard because I know how to set it up on my system. It's just inconvenient and I didn't feel like putting in the effort when I posted that.

I'm going to be somewhat lazy on improving my other languages other than Japanese for the next three weeks or so. I'm still going to be maintaining my current level in them but improvement is going to have to wait. And unfortunately my level on some of them slipped drastically because of some bad things that happened in my life. Which is why I haven't posted much here. It's just I kept on thinking of how to explain what happened in one of these threads to you guys but I just didn't want to do it. And I kept getting caught up in "which thread should I post this in" because I didn't really get depressed over it so it didn't fit in the Emotional Support thread. And it just didn't seem to fit anywhere else so I just ended up not visiting here at all because it was easier than figuring out the where and how to explain what happened.

But while I didn't get depressed it did knock me off my mindset to learn so many different languages. I still want to do this. It's something I'm going to do anyways. I just needed some time to get back into the mindset needed for it and right now I just want to focus more on becoming fluent in Japanese over these next three weeks. My mindset is back to what it needs to be in order to learn so many languages I just want to focus all of that, or at least most of it, into one language at the moment.

Do you watch the entire end credits of a movie/tv show?

I seldom ever do. Primarily with old TV shows like Batman. With modern stuff I tend to just leave it on for the video beside it or I'm not really watching just waiting for it to be over for the end credits scene. I came close with the end credits for Buried because I heard there was typos in the end credits. Even then tho I only watched like 80% of it.

When you click the bell notifier in the upper right hand corner you can click where your getting comments. If it's not showing up click on previously read. Then click on the notification message such as "Youtube user mentioned you" or "Youtube user commented on" and scroll down within the notification popup. At the bottom you can click "view post" and that goes to the comment on google +. Therein you can view all the comments on a thread via google +.

I posted a picture somewhere in the General Star Wars discussion a couple of years ago of Luke gazing at the trio of Force ghosts at the end of ROTJ and being surprised to not only see Hayden is Anakin, but also Ewan is Obi-Wan and CPY is Yoda.  I can't find this picture anywhere, and I want to show it to my wife.  I'm sad. :(


 It looks like the picture was here.

The picture link is broken (at least for me). Looking at the next page, Doubleoffive put the picture on twitter so it may be retrievable ?

We need this picture back.

Tracking it down it appears it was hosted on a blog that was deleted and web archive services didn't cache it because of robots.txt. Pic is gone unless you track down the original uploader.

1)Why is this all one image?
 Why did you need to quote it?
Because if it's changed later to be individual pics in the other post I have a quote showing what I was talking about. I also originally meant to just quote the Vader chestplate pic but was prevented from doing so as it was all compiled into a single long pic. So, since you asked me, why'd you have to quote it?

Wow.  I haven't updated this in a while.  Aside from the awesome, awesome twister111, I got the impression this wasn't much of a Dragon Ball crowd.  But maybe you'll like this:
