i think i just made a new friend today no no promises

and no pressure i just talked to a girl for an hour

and a half and i just i loved it i loved it

so much i know you liked her do you have anything to say

so today i want to finish the hound of the baskerville

which i started yesterday and i'm just

so in love with it i knew i just knew

that i was gonna like it i did put it off

for like two weeks i didn't have it in my august tbr

but i put it off for some reason for

so long the notes

that i'm taking are some some really good ones we have

some philosophy some keeping up with the detective stuff going on

i also have notes from the previous owner of this book

and i think she was trying to keep up with the

mystery as well trying to figure out who the killer is um

and it's really confusing me

but yeah what we're gonna see i love this cover i'm not sure

if these sprayed edges came like this from the publisher or

if the girl that read it before me sprayed the edges herself

which is something that i did do with the night circus i painted the edges black

and it looks so beautiful i made some cookies yesterday let me show them to you they're

so so so good i want to have cookies

and some tea i think yeah i want some tea i

did get a pre -packaged mix it just came out to be cheaper

that way and i didn't really feel like baking anything yesterday but these are so good

60 pages left things are getting pretty heated i have to say i thought

that something was happening

and it was indeed true this is the third book in the sherlock holmes series right

so i think that naturally i'm getting to know the characters

and know what they would do and what they would give

and what they would sacrifice to figure out what the answer is to the mystery

and i also feel like that requires a lot of skill from the writer

if a writer is

so good as to make the characters feel human you also

get to kind of figure out how they would act arthur

conan doyle sir arthur conan doyle is a great great writer

don't sleep on him yeah i'm gonna try to read as much as i can

right now maybe get 30 more pages read right now i have something on my lips i'm just loving it

so much i'm having so much fun

i realized recently

that i haven't been focusing on being present the moment i wake up i just open the laptop

which is something

that i don't want to do this morning though i started it by reading a few pages

that was nice but usually i would have started my morning by writing down the dreams

that i had the night before there's something cathartic in that

and i feel like it brings you in the present

and it just makes you happy to be awake depending on

what kind of dream you had yeah i don't know i

feel like i've been kind of avoiding myself without even meaning to

because i feel like right now this could be the perfect

time to get to know myself in a different light

because i get to stay at home

and i get to read i get to do whatever whatever

i want for the next few months well actually i do

need to look for a job that's also a thing anyway what i'm trying to say is

that i'm in a very privileged position right now

and i don't want to waste it by wasting my time especially my morning time

which by the way you have to listen to this song

it's one of my favorite songs ever my morning time is my time okay nobody gets to take

that away from me

and i feel like i'm starting to take it away from

myself i wrote a little bit in my journal i just

wrote really some very trivial things i think i'm gonna go a little deeper right now

and try to uh figure out what i need from myself

and what i haven't been giving myself

so i'm gonna take maybe 30 minutes to do that

and getting back to the book i have less than 30

pages left to read of this this is heavenly i mean

if you don't like detective novels i don't know what's wrong

with you i do have to write down all the new words

that i found in it and by write down of course i mean screenshot them

and put them in a new folder on my laptop

and i have been neglecting writing about the books

that i've been reading in my reading journal

and i i need to do

that that's the reason why i don't really give reviews on goodreads

because i already write my own reviews in my reading journal

anyway i'm gonna take some time to get a little closer to myself

what i love doing

when i don't have any space in the margins to write

a lot of words i write them on a clear post -it

and put that on the page like this actually i haven't read this page

so i'm gonna i'm gonna put it on this page

I love when I have questions that aren't answered up until the last page.

I showed you before that I wrote this.

This was a question that was not answered at all.

What the hell?

And for me, it did not make any sense.

If Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not mention, did not allude to this question

or an answer to this question at all for me this would have been weird like a loose thread

but he referred to it just now

and i have only literally one page left this is

so fun okay let's see what's happening i already know who

the killer is of course yeah we just got some more details to uncover i guess i have decided

that tomorrow i'm gonna go thrifting

because we're gonna have a huge sale i mean i'm not

gonna have a huge sale on anything those guys are gonna have a huge sale the guys

that i'm gonna buy clothes from but anyway the thing is

100

that tomorrow because i'm going out of the house i want to stop by a coffee shop to read

101

so i want us to choose a physical book to read i did already choose some books for september

102

that i don't own but i want to read at a cafe

103

which means that i want to read a physical book

104

and i really don't know what to choose these ones i

105

already read i'm trying to find maybe maybe a 300 page book

106

or less than 300 pages would be good i was thinking of vonnegut

107

but i'm not sure

108

that i want to read of vonnegut right now i think

109

i need a little bit of a pause from his books

110

this is the 39 steps by john buchan booken no actually

111

you know what we need to pronounce author's names right john buchan hitchcock made a film after this book

112

and the person that had this book before me has watched the film first

113

and then read the book and you might wonder how i how i know

114

that they left a bunch of notes on the book well actually i don't really know

115

that they might have first read the book then watched the film

116

and then re -read the book so i should stop making assumptions

117

but this is a book

118

that i bought very recently i think i bought it this month in august it has 120 something pages

119

but the writing is it's a little smaller than usual i

120

haven't heard good things about this book i don't know i want to give it a chance

121

because i want to watch the film i have read 10

122

pages of the 39 steps by john buchan i don't know

123

what everybody's talking about with this this book is not

124

that great i think the writing is simple

125

and beautiful it kind of lost me in the beginning honestly it didn't even have me

126

and it lost me i told you that the person

127

that read this before me wrote down some stuff about the movie i keep getting spoiled

128

and i'm referring to the movie here okay we got a

129

little interrupted hey yeah would you give mommy a kiss what i was saying the person

130

that read this book before me took many notes in the

131

margins well actually not many i think in total we have a maximum of 15 notes maybe

132

because they watched the film first

133

which at this point i'm absolutely sure of they keep on spoiling me on the movie

134

because the movie is kind of different from the book for example there's this one character

135

that can't talk properly in the book this person wrote in the margins

136

that well you know in the movie this character actually has another defect

137

which is the fact that he's missing half of his finger

138

or something it's interesting to read i will say i never

139

had an experience like this before this is a totally new unique experience to me

140

and a very specific situation

141

that i am in right now with this book again the

142

writing is really good i've only read 10 pages don't get too excited

143

but i am kind of kind of getting excited i kind

144

of wanted a head start on this before i go to the cafe tomorrow

145

because i just wanted to get into it first to get more excited tomorrow

146

and to go through it faster actually we didn't even take

147

a second to appreciate this cover does this collection have a name actually we are pushing our luck

148

and I need to go to sleep

149

I am back from the outside world and I can confidently say that was kind of a fail.

150

I just got my ass out of the house to just walk my legs around.

151

I couldn't find anything at thrift.

152

That wasn't the only thrift that I went to.

153

I also went to another thrift after that and they didn't have anything.

154

Plus, I could barely even stay in there because it just smelled so bad.

155

And then I went to a third thrift store that was closed, actually.

156

So, no luck today.

157

And that's fine.

158

I won't go to the thrift for the next two weeks because I don't feel like going through this again.

159

And I just want to focus on some other things.

160

But it wasn't a complete fail.

161

Because I did go to like a natural grocery store.

162

And I bought some stuff that I've been really wanting to get.

163

I got some soy.

164

I'm thinking of making some pasta with this.

165

Rice flour.

166

And it was very cheap.

167

At my usual grocery store, this is maybe like $5 or $6 or $7.

168

And this was $2.

169

Some ground cardamom, which I will use to make coffee with i first had cardamom coffee

170

when i went to amsterdam that was five years ago almost

171

when i went to a peach pit concert

172

and it was one of the greatest times and i really did enjoy

173

that coffee a lot it was as

174

if this whole universe opened up to me

175

and then i bought this wait let me see what it's

176

called in english i forgot i remembered without even having to

177

look it up i was starting to look it up

178

but then i remembered

179

so trust me trust me it is all in here castor oil i used castor oil

180

when i was a kid i think on my eyebrows

181

but i'm planning to use it in other ways now i just have to do my research

182

and last but not least i have been wanting this mist

183

thing for a while and this is glass

184

which is amazing i do have some leftover from other products

185

but i just wanted a clear one

186

and i might put rosemary water in here for my hair

187

or rice water for my skin i should have bought more maybe

188

but i just love it i love the way it looks

189

and i love that it is made of glass

190

that was my haul unfortunately today we have no thrift haul

191

trust me i'm crying about it inside i didn't even get to read i was at the cafe

192

and then there was this guy that was talking to me

193

and i was trying to tell him that i wanted to read

194

but then he kept on talking

195

and i was like okay you know what i'm gonna have this cigarette with you

196

and then i'm gonna go i didn't want to talk to him at all

197

but honestly i was kind of scared to just tell him

198

to leave me alone it's very delicate these situations he seemed

199

to me like he didn't mean any harm i really just wanted to read

200

and i couldn't i think i read a total of maybe seven pages

201

because then i stopped at the spark to read

202

and i read one or two more pages in there

203

but i'm really enjoying the book i want to finish it

204

tomorrow i want to finish it by the end of august

205

so that i will have read six books this month i really wanted to make those cookies again

206

but for that i need to go to the grocery store

207

which is a 10 minute walk and i don't really feel like it

208

because I just came back from the outside world

209

It seems like the theme for today is restlessness i just woke up

210

and i don't know i feel like doing so many things

211

but i don't really want to do everything

212

that i have to do i'm really thinking of picking up um the artist's way

213

by julia something julia cameron i heard of this book

214

so many times

215

and i'm sure you have to probably i just feel like

216

i need a lot of inspiration for the amount of energy

217

i have in me to do stuff i actually picked up this book this morning

218

and i wanted to read a little bit

219

but then i realized i don't feel like reading i want to do something

220

so then i thought i could help a friend with something

221

so i did that for like 15 minutes now i want to want a journal

222

but also i have something to do i don't know i

223

feel this sense of urgency you know what actually i just realized it's helping me

224

so much to talk to the camera because i realized

225

that the thing

226

that i should do right now is close my laptop i

227

think my laptop is a distraction right now i just keep

228

going from page to page from browser browser without a goal in mind at all i'm gonna close it

229

and i'm gonna write in my journal

230

and then i'm gonna see what i'm gonna do oh it's

231

just i don't know how to deal with it i feel like i want to do

232

so many things and i don't i'm not inspired enough

233

but i it's like my body doesn't want to stop

234

but my mind is not in

235

that creative space you know i feel like my body is

236

but my mind isn't i don't know how

237

that makes any sense to me

238

but that's just exactly how i feel i've been feeling this way for a week at this point maybe

239

if i'm feeling the vibe tonight after i finish the 39

240

steps i'm actually gonna watch the movie as well with my

241

boyfriend it will be i think my first hitchcock movie i've never watched a hitchcock movie before

242

i finished the book some more thoughts on it later i

243

don't have it near me right now i left it in the kitchen

244

but it was good it was better than i expected

245

if you want to read it i really recommend it it

246

was such a unique experience for me to read a book

247

that was annotated by a person

248

that watched the movie first now i can't wait to watch the movie i already know 50 of the movie

249

because that person already spoiled it for me yeah i'm very happy

250

that i finished

251

that book six books in august that's amazing i still have two days left of august it's august 29th

252

so can we read another book in two days do you think do you think well it is possible

253

if i choose a short book.

254

We'll see.

255

You can see it there that the wind is flowing and I feel so good right now.

256

I cleaned Fievel's litter box.

257

It took me 30 minutes to clean the whole thing and

258

while I was cleaning it he peed in the place his litter box was supposed to be

259

and i want to shower because

260

after showering i want to watch my own private idaho i want to do my nails in a way

261

that i haven't done them for probably 12 years

262

but yeah that's what i'm gonna do and then we're making crips

263

because i bought this amazing jam it is an apricot jam it's sugar free

264

There's been a change of plans, as you saw I already started watching my own private it Idaho

265

and I'm not really liking it that much so I'm thinking

266

that I should start a book now I'm gonna show you my nails a lot more I'm

267

so proud of them

268

and they're not gonna last too long I um already fucked this one up anyway

269

so I want to start reading a book

270

while I'm eating doesn't matter the length something

271

that I want to read shut up what about a Sherlock

272

Holmes the valley of fear wait what these aren't the valley

273

of fear did i buy the valley of fear oh my god okay the valley did i not buy it

274

because i bought them in order the adventures of sherlock holmes

275

the return of sherlock holmes the memoirs of sherlock holmes i just realized

276

that i'm too hungry to look for it i am gonna check my order history to see

277

if i did buy it before i go through all these books

278

So I am gonna watch my private my own private Idaho while I read because I again I'm too hungry to wait.

279

I hope I did get that book.

280

Otherwise, I have to buy it now

281

And I hope that somebody forgives the people that have swayed your fond thoughts away from me

282

this is the one that i would love to get they don't have it in stock anymore

283

and by the way of course i checked

284

and i did not buy it it's the same collection as the 39 steps

285

that i just finished do you see what i'm talking about

286

look at the design the class on this cover is immaculate i'm so sad

287

and i can't actually find a copy You at all i mean i could buy a new copy

288

but i want a used copy with a cool cover it's bugging me

289

but you know what i did subscribe to some editions so if they're back in stock They're gonna let me know.

290

It's sad.

291

I really wanted to read some Sherlock Holmes

292

I was just journaling earlier and i realized

293

that i would want to end the vlog here i feel like i'm in a limbo

294

because i don't have anything to edit

295

and i just really want to start editing something

296

and i'm gonna start another vlog tomorrow i am going to read the memory police tonight before bed i'm

297

so excited i'm gonna make myself some tea

298

and i'm gonna have a great time what are you doing

299

i have heard many things about this book before i heard

300

that it's good i don't believe charlie goffman would get himself

301

involved with a bad book i think i was apprehensive about starting it just

302

because of the title because it seems to me

303

that it's a very childish title in the past few days i've been really getting into reading a lot more

304

which is not to say that i wasn't already into reading

305

but i i think i'm just starting to enjoy sitting in bed

306

and reading for hours and this is something

307

that I used to do a lot as a teenager I was always in bed reading

308

and I feel like now I'm getting back into that

309

and it feels

310

so good thank you for being here I hope you did

311

enjoy this little vlog of mine I'm not sure how it's gonna go whenever I film a vlog

312

and you know just film my days whatever pick up the camera

313

and really random moments I sometimes think about the fact

314

that i don't have enough footage or my footage is actually trash

315

or i don't talk about anything interesting but then

316

when i get to editing it feels a little better

317

but i think this is why i'm so eager to start editing just

318

because i'm eager to see exactly what i'm gonna make of

319

this i hope you enjoyed this i hope you have a great day week year

320

and i hope you take care of yourselves and yeah have a good one

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
