I have reached the age where my hair salon sets up my station with mommy magazines. No thanks, I'll just bring my Kindle and finish this book about brutal murder on a 19th-century whaling ship.

When your partner has slow texting reflexes:
Me: I got dinner.
Me: I just farted in the elevator.
Him: You're the best.
Me: The fart will be gone by the time you get home.
Him: Nooooooo
Me: I got dinner.
Me: I just farted in the elevator.

And by the way I got married this year! has been a whirlwind of marriage paperwork, then a trip to visit my new parents-in-law in Nara, then honeymooning to Wakayama, taking a ferry to the uninhabited Tomogashima Island with its spooky ruins of war equipment and facilities.

Pet peeve of the week: People who watch/read science fiction and then go on Reddit to complain about "plot holes" with zero thought to the actual point of the story. And they think they are clever for doing so.
I bet these are the same people who think liberal arts degrees are useless.

"Snow White and the Seven Twinks" would be a much better modern adaptation. Would watch.

This dungeon is sooo long. Save points are few and far between and do not replenish HP/MP, and the game overall is very stingy with MP boosters. Forces you to use different classes, watch for passives/combos that raise MP at the same time you have aggressive snakes coming after you.

Skyrim is 4400 yen on Steam(!), so I'm like "wtf nobody is gonna pay that, people must be complaining," and naturally I can't resist negativity on the internet so I click on it.
First comment: "I played Skyrim when I was 9 and now I'm 23..."
I crumble into dust to be carried away by a gentle wind.

After four months of waiting for Wicked to come out in Japan, sitting fourth row center in IMAX was like being blasted in the face with a firehose of joy for 160 minutes.

The Betrayal of Itō Shiori: When Lawyers Do More Harm Than Good - Unseen Japan
Itō Shiori's award-winning documentary BLACK BOX DIARIES still can't be screened in Japan. Is that truly in the interests of justice?

I no longer want to spend the mental energy necessary to fret and panic about Trump's plan to turn the USA into his personal financial empire. So I've found that books and games are a good escape. On the train, instead of doomscrolling, I reach for my Kindle and go to a fantasy world.

Came home at the end of a long week and found that Netflix had a gift for me called "Celebrity Bear Hunt." And there's a bag of chips for me to eat while lying down. Blessed.

"Timelesz Audition Project" has me emotionally invested in this Japanese boy band and my teenage self would be disgusted in me. Then again, that bitch used to watch "O-Town Making the Band," so she's a damn hypocrite.

It struck me that Taylor Swift's classic "You Belong With Me" is just her whining about being friendzoned for a girl-Chad.
Get over it, Taylor, he's not attracted to you.

Me: "American Primeval is about how the rough circumstances of the Old West and Utah War brought out horrifying truths about violence in the name of self-preservation, money, and unchecked power. Shockingly brutal acts by evil men."
