Pretty nice week. Had another eye test and when I get my new glasses I hafta wear em for the next 2 years, which isn't a bad thing but it'll be weird getting used to having them on constantly at my age.
Watched the Expendables yesterday cuz my coworker said she liked that movie and it was okay. Wasn't too bad but it wasn't particularly noteable either, a pretty average action film with with a Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo and that one guy from dexter too, that was kinda funny.
Besides that, I started Katanagatari yesterday too. Waaaaay too much talking during some scenes but I'm gonn stick with it. I like the vibe and artstyle enough and the premise is somewhat intruiging. I was gonna watch it monthly but then I realised I'd be finishing it in 2027 and that scared me so I'll finish it in 3 months time instead.
Today though, I finallly got my skates and they are pretty cool. Gonna go other my fundamentals in my free time before I go out skating proper but I'm super duper happy to have em at last. Finally went to an old friend's place too. Hadn't seen her in forever so it was a pleasant reuinion. She taught me some stuff and then I shared my pirated goods with her. Against the odds she seemed to like Doremi, after I showed her # episode40 (remains GOATED), and wanted to actually watch the entire series despite it being 10 times longer than what she considers worth watching, given the time sink.
Also got her to play yume nikki and accidentally gaslit her into thinking uboa isn't real cuz the event wouldn't trigger and I looked like an insane person. Luckily for me that turned out to be a good thing since she is now unsure as to whether I was telling the truth or not and. So thanks to that she has a curious desire to play something she would've ignored or found boring lol.
Anyway she still seems depressed after all this time so I hope that she felt a little happier after all that.

Just wanted to say I watched episode 40 of # this morning and it blew me the hell away man, made me tear up a bit. Resonated with that so deeply, just everything about that episode sums up what I love best about Ojamajo Doremi.

Lazy week due to falling a little ill. Went to opticians for the first time in over 5 years and it turns out my right eye is not in the best condition and it's been that way for a while. Somehow I only noticed this recently tho, so I'm gonna have to get me sone glasses like every other person in my family. An inveitable fate.
Finished Escaflowne and more or less finished the review of it too so I'll upload that tomorrow hopefully. Started my rewatch of tamers but this time subbed. Never watched any digimon season subbed before outside of our war game so it'll interesting I guess. Tamers is favourite season by far so it'll be nice to revisit it in the form it was meant to be shown in.
Lastly, just a few minutes ago, I got the doremi 2004 visual novel working, it was kind of annoying to setup but it's working. It seems to take place after or during dokkan so I got a while before I can actually get to it.

I've been playing through summon night 2 on my psp recently. Very slowly of course thanks to my reading speed but I'm playing with the intent to learn more kanji so I don't really mind. I'm already sort of familiar with the characters and other things thanks to swordcraft story so I'm not too lost. I'll see how things pan out as I play more but the trpg gameplay is pretty meh, not terrible or anything but it sure is tactics gameplay. I do like the music and characters, well by that I mean how nesty and Toris interact. Will probably replay as male mc once I beat it.
Put gallery page under the covers until I refine to my satsifaction. Will probably be kinda lazy with it for the time being until an idea sticks with me

Had some terrible neck pains earlier this week that luckily only asted a few days. Need to make sure I sleep in a good position cuz I never wanna have that happen again whilst I'm still young.
Been a pretty standard week. Work during the day and return home to study and watch tv or read. Been drawing more often and I've improved a bit, I'd like to think. Gained a better understanding of how to render poses to a simple form and how to section the human face into parts that make it easier to draw.
Tried meditating a couple times and I think it's decently effective at just calming mind in a way, helps with impulse control too.
Read Volume 11 and 12 of Frieren and ejopyed em quite a bit, especially 12. Did not expect a little time travel in Frieren of all things but it was nice.
Shiny hunting is still coming up dry. It's been quite the damn drought since I found that growlithe but it is what is, gotta keep up and maintain hope even if I'm definitely going over odds in total encounters since then.
Finally, still watching Doremi as always, found a new show called Hare+Guu which is absolutlely hilarious. It kinda reminds me of old cartoon network in a way with how weird it is at times. Highly recommend.
Escaflowne has been great and I wanna throw praises at the fact that it was able to ge a redub in 2016 and a great one at that, really impressed by it and happy that it exists.
Anyway that's about it, I'm learning javascript and have some ideas of what I want to implement but I wont do that for a while until I get it to look exactly how I want.
