Silly Mnemonics

So on the way over to Akihabara today, Matt decided to teach me the days of the week in Japanese.  He first tried with a song... which I then managed to demonstrate how impossible I am to work with when it comes to pure verbal instruction.  We went over the song at least six or seven times, but I could neither memorize the words to the song nor show any comprehension as to what the meaning behind those words were.  But later on the train, he suggested that I create a mnemonic.  His advice was to just create any image that I would then associate to the word, but for me in my mind's infinite complexity, I needed to find a way to not only connect the sound of the Japanese word but also the kanji.  So here's the end result (sound associations are in blue and kanji is in red):

Getsuyoubi (月曜日) - Gettysburg fought on a Monday during a full moon
Kayoubi (火曜日) - King Kai, a fiery guy, works out on Tuesday
Suiyoubi (水曜日) - Sue swims on a watery Wednesday
Mokuyoubi (木曜日) - I plant plants in Mokuleia on Thursday
Kinyoubi (金曜日) - My kin gets paid on Friday
Doyoubi (土曜日) - The dirty doe eats dirt on Saturday
Nichiyoubi (日曜日) - Nietzsche hates sunny Sundays
