❦ The Great Japan Instant Curry Review Thread Part 3🧵
(Curries 81-110)
The curries go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah! 80 curries in, & I think I've only scratched the surface!
☞ Ratings out of 10. A ⁵⁄₁₀ is a solid curry. There are better & worse, but 5s are meant to be average yet good.

Y'all playing Bongo Cat? It's a little cat that plays the bongos on your task bar as you type, and it's free on Steam! It's mostly a cute thing that grooves while you work. Having a goofy cat track my keystrokes is oddly motivating!

79 books; 26,295 pages. I definitely hunkered down with a book more often than not this year. (End of the year stats from bookwyrm.social on my reading.)

As reported, it was really good! It reminded me a lot of 昭和元禄落語心中.
Haven't been to a movie since moving to Tokyo over 2 years ago. Finally breaking the streak & going to Kokuho! Heard good things.

Last deadline for the year—I think—just submitted! (One can never be entirely sure.) Time to put my feet up, and then get started early on those resolutions. (And also send off a few client e-mails to kick off next year.)
Hope everyone else is either getting or on the verge of some life balance!

Because the year does not wish to end easily, I got a bill I absolutely cannot pay that equals out to roughly $300. Currently all my funds are going towards medical costs [such as transportation] so im struggling to pay bills as well. So...if you'd like an art book? God, im sorry guys.
I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession

I have a slight eggs+basket superstition about distributing postcards across separate post office boxes. I try to divvy them up to ~10 per box, so I'm looking around for about 6 for my New Years cards. 4 to go~

Reading a short story that included the phrase "insouciantly through an unglazed French window." I don't think I've ever seen insouciant as an adverb before, but I quite like it. (Writer: Reggie Oliver)
