You know, considering I sent *two* emails to the building manager asking for my (now late) lease documents, when I called them today the person I spoke to on the phone could have at least said "oh, I see they were mailed yesterday"
Or like......someone could have emailed me back? 🤷♀️

Uh...
Sound Euphonium (I was *BAWLING* at the end)
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
Haikyuu (manga, since the anime hasn't gotten to the end of the story yet)
Run with the Wind (single novel so...)
(Just to name a few that weren't on that list for whatever reason)

Are there any series that have actual satisfying endings? Jerome looks into it.

Catching up with the latest volume of #Magilumiere in English, and I love the background detail that Nikoyama's spent enough time with his programmer friend that his style sense has worn off on him 😁(because before it was all plaid button downs all the time)
Obviously, the rest of this is spoilers

You can tell who's been on the internet longest, because the people who have been browsing since the AOL days are fine, but everyone else is having a mental breakdown because they haven't been properly acclimated to the digital horrors. It's like seeing Lovecraft horror unfold on people in real time

It is SO STUPID COLD OUT 😭
And if I wasn't heading somewhere where they blast the heat super high, I would have been wearing my even warmer base layer
At least my new coat is warm and cozy? (Though I wish it was a little longer...)

Decided to finally sit down and watch all of #Escaflowne
(considering I got the Blu-ray set a while back)
I think I only ever saw at most half of the series before? And that was like.... at least 25 years ago? 🤔
But I have had the OP in my music rotation the whole time....that one slaps

Sorry people whose bios are in the program, I'm using my editorial authority to cut them down shorter so we can cut down on our program printing costs
(If I cut a few words here and there, I could get it to 2 sheets vs. 3.....so I did)
I mean....they want us to have money to pay them, right?

Good: Looks like our choir director finally dropped that piece we all hated and that sounded bad in rehearsal from the program
Bad: I was so into sending the email to confirm the details that I missed my stop on the subway and ended up in Queens 🫠

Reading student papers (committee work) and having a flashback to the time in library school where the prof turned to me when assigning presentation topics and out of nowhere was like "...you look like you know something about zines"
(Because I have a zine-related point for the student on this)

Got to love the station countdown clock saying a train was "1 minute away" only for it to jump to "11 minutes away" (with no train showing up) 😮💨
Good thing no one really cares if I show up late over things like this...(because we basically all take the subway and know how it can be)

Dr. Sensei and I have been chipping away at #Paranormasight, and we hit a spot where we seemed like we were stuck
But Dr. Sensei came up with what sounded like a nonsense suggestion
AND IT WORKED?
So yeah, this game is *wild*

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Yeah, these next three weeks are going to be ROUGH
I'm already behind for the week because I had a bunch of meetings sprung on me, and a bunch of tickets finally got answered after I turned things off last Monday
And that's on top of choir stuff and other plans

I keep seeing videos with titles like "This FAILED 80s Cartoon - The TRUE Story" & it's a show with 78 episodes that aired every afternoon for 5 years.

-"Do you know the Dewey Decimal System?" (no, but I'm down with the LCC)
-"You must like books, huh?" (they're fine?)
-"Isn't everything online now?" (Who do you think makes it do you can get the good online stuff?)

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Mmmm, few things are as satisfying as making soup without needing to check the recipe, nailing the seasoning on the first go (usually it needs at least *some* adjusting?)
Oh, and then eating said soup, which is avgolemono, probably my favorite of all the soups 🤤

New pair arrived today
As soon as I put them on and zipped them up I was like "OOOOOOOO" 😮
1. Thanks to choir friend who clued me in that the store now carried "short" inseams (I needed it...even still they're almost too long)
2. I will need to buy another pair or two in the not-too-distant future

😑 Nothing like folding laundry from the dryer and noticing you can see *through* a spot in your favorite pair of jeans that shouldn't be see-through
Guess I need to buy a new pair? And I guess they had a good run?

Grrr, they finally enshittified the YouTube casting on my old Chromecast (so now there's a ton more ads, including the obnoxiously long ones that you have to jump to hit "skip" on)....
It used to be that the Chromecast app was better than other platforms? Now it's the same level of shitty? 😩

Guys, I don't care *how* good your fancy-pants strawberries are (or that FreshDirect is more expensive than most).......
I'm not spending $35 on fancy strawberry/anko spread........I can buy SO MANY packs of anko and fresh (normal) strawberries for that (and have money left over for mochi nuggets)

We saw #RentalFamily and it was really good? I liked that it didn't fall into really easy story cliches (or do much hand-holding) and the characters were interesting
Plus it was amusing to hear a famous American actor speaking Japanese for parts of the movie?

In the final-ish phases of clearing out my old room, and this poster collage was back behind my old bed for AGES
Not *only* did I have the giant random collages, but when I was taking it apart there were bonus ones behind (and it's funny that Ranma is a thing again)
