🦃Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday! 🥧🍽️🍲🍗 We decided to go the traditional route after all (because nobody else was feeling my taco idea). We got rotisserie chicken, Mac and cheese, stuffing with gravy, salad, various other veggies, and of course, desserts. 😋

Well, I have an AO3 account now. My invite came through *minutes* before midnight on the exact date they had estimated. I've already saved [redacted number] WangXian fics for later. I'm reading on my iPad mini in Reader Mode so I can jack up the text size. I'm so hooked! 👩🏾💻

My 2025 YouTube Music Recap! I correctly guessed that Enhypen would be my Top Artist, but I was wrong about my Top Song. I forgot how much I played (and still play) &TEAM's "Deer Hunter." 😁

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 Here's a peep at a couple of Halloween covers from the old manga magazine Animerixa Extra featuring the Revolutionary Girl Utena crew. I still need to finish that series. Stay safe! 👻

Well, I finally cleaned out my anime/manga magazine bin. It only took about an hour. I was ruthless! I threw away anything that didn't have a cover, was overly raggedy, or didn't have anything interesting or relevant in it. The bin is looking kinda empty now, but I'm not sorry. 💪🏾🧹

Current Reads: Semantic Error (manhwa) vols. 1-2 and MDZS (manhua) vol. 10. 😆

I found out that hoopla and Libby both have the light novels for The Apothecary Diaries. The anime only has two seasons, so I'll have to keep reading to see what happens after that. I got the 1st volume from hoopla because they're always available on there, whereas Libby has a mile-long wait list. 📚

For the first time ever, I bought stuff from eBay: two used NCT 127 albums. They came in today! 😆 They're in near-perfect condition, the discs work fine, and the sets still have a few of the extras. I owe the seller a nice rating. I'm so happy and thankful that this worked out well.🙏🏾

I got volumes 3, 5, and 6 from the library! I have 4 on hold too, but someone is ahead of me on the list. Side Note: the manhua lets a lot more uncensored WangXian moments through than the show or donghua do. I saw a kiss! 😳

I'm knee-deep in the worlds of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. It started when I watched The Untamed, my second ever C-Drama. I fell so hard for WangXian that I jumped straight into the original novels, the donghua, and the manhua. Now I'm doing the same thing with Heaven Official's Blessing. I'm obsessed! 😍

So, I was watching Constantine. I noticed that Angela leaned in twice to kiss John, but he ignored her both times. Then at the end when he tried to kiss her, she walked away. My take? He rejected her to protect her from his crazy life; she later noped out because she had seen too much. 🤔

I watched a Chinese movie adaptation of the K-Drama Secret Garden called The Secret Garden. The storyline is mostly the same but *heavily* condensed. It was still enjoyable and funny, but the show was better. Apparently there's also C-Drama version that I need to see.

I'm up to chapter 54 of Dark Moon: The Blood Altar. So many things make more sense now, especially the "Drunk-Dazed" MV. The funny thing is, my favorite characters in the comic (Solon and Heli) are the same members that I bias in Enhypen (Sunghoon and Heeseung). I'm consistent, at least. 😅

My mom found one of the medium-sized stuffed Peeps! It was the last one in the store *and* half price ($1.50). Now my small Peeps has a friend. 🥹

My mom found one of the stuffed Peeps for me! 🥹 It's so cute! It's also a bit bigger than I thought the smallest version would be. I love it.

I just found out that Family Dollar has stuffed Peeps for $1.25, $3, and $5 (respectively). I obviously need one of them. 🥹

I'm loving Coachella 2025 so far! Tyla, Lisa, and Missy Elliott were all amazing last night (the Gaga replay comes on in a minute). I'm excited about Enhypen tonight. I'm especially happy about the Coachella Livestream app, which has made navigating the schedule *so* much easier this year. 😁

I had a terrible time with lights yesterday. First, my lamp broke. Then the dining area's light blew, so I borrowed a bulb from one of the living room's lamps. Then *that* bulb blew. Freaking ridiculous! 💡❌

Last night's episode of Finding Your Roots with Laurence Fishburne was so good. He didn't know who his biological father was. The excitement on his face when he saw a photo for the first time just about had me in tears. And then I *did* shed a few tears when he met his half-siblings. 🧬📺
