That's a hard one for me, because I rarely listen to a full album (in fact, nowadays I rarely listen to music). I'm trying to remember what I used to listen to, and most of them are compilation albums. If it counts, here's my pick:

Cover of Aerosmith's album "Nine Lives": a humanoid grey cat in white shirt and blue jeans, strapped on a red and orange spinning wheel with knives nailed around him

Cover of Queen's album "Live at Wembley Stadium": Freddy Mercury in yellow jacket and white pants on a stage, bending on his back, with a microphone in his hand

Cover of Guns n' Roses' album "Live Era '87-'93": a group of six different posters of the band, with the title at the center

Cover of the album "Pouca Vogal", by Brazilian musicians Humberto Gessinger and Duca Leindecker: Humberto in blue and Duca in red, both appear 3 times each in the picture, sitting on different red chairs in a dark stadium.

Great, now Duolingo has a monthly badges section to torture me even more with the absence of February's badge. This is the only dent in my list since 2022 😭

Screenshot of Duolingo showing 2 round badges unlocked (January in blue ,and March in light brown), and February in between greyed out.

Day 1: The kindest book?

Это трудная категория, потому что я редко читаю добрые книги. Не знаю, если эти книги идеальные, но может быть они самые блиские, что я могу найти среди тех, которые я прочитал.

Corrections welcome

Brazilian cover of the book "Just Kids", by Patti Smith. The cover is an old black and white picture of Patti Smith, dressed in white, and his friend in black, and there's a wide red strip in the middle where the book title and author's name are written in white.

Brazilian cover of the book "The Tale of the Unknown Island", by José Saramago. The cover is white, with the author name at the top, and there's a light brown rectangle in the middle with a drawing that looks like a green and brown boat. The book's title is below the drawing.

Mein Deutsch is about to steal the Position of mein Französisch. Das ist gut, denn Deutsch ist meine zweite Lieblingssprache (bis jetzt)

Duolingo screenshot showing the language ranking by XP. 1 - Russian, 2 - French (from Portuguese), 3 - German, 4 - Spanish, 5 - French. German is just a few XP points away from French (39354 versus 39373)

Genau, meine Dusche ist seit gestern kaputt, die Wasser ist nicht heiß. Zum Glück das Wetter ist sehr warm

Duolingo screenshot with the German sentence "Die Dusche ist kaputt", and its English translation "The shower is broken"

I was today years old when I found out Gummy bears are actually a kind of candy. I always thought it was just the name of the bears (I never watched the cartoon by the way).

Ma lecture courrante en français. Peut être je comprendrai enfin l'histoire française? Je me souviens de quand j'ai lu Les Misérables, j'étais très perdu avec tous les changements de pouvoir mentionnés par Victor Hugo 😂

Tenho preguiça de vilão baladeiro. Botou gelzinho no cabelo e deu festinha com música eletrônica, já perde imediatamente qualquer respeito como vilão. Fora os piti de jovem playboy mimado.

Each day my languages get more and more mixed up in my head. I've been doing a lot of German lately, so today I decided to do some French lessons on Duo. I like to think the whole sentence before looking at the screen, so here I was translating this as "Les chaussures costent fünf euros"
