「明日があるさ。」

This is the roundup where I get to firmly say things aren't working and didn't work and that's okay! When I first set this up at the beginning of the year, I certainly wasn't expecting to bellyflop back into Gundam and Gunpla and not really be doing any writing or for the great work reorganization to still be in-progress nearly a year later. ^^;;

Like, nothing is bad but it's certainly unexpected!

( September Plans! )

So, October-

Run around screaming.

Clean and declutter as needed. I'm currently patching a damaged bit of grout in my shower and I can see that I need to spend some time scrubbing everything up and fixing any other patches that look questionable. There are some older patches that are far from professional so at least I'm not intimidated with a need to make it look perfect. ^^;; Living room still needs the most work clutter-wise and I need to get everything dug out and sorted for November's comic-con.

Write & Archive as inspired. Continue the accidental advent. Work on zines as inspired. Play games. Chill. There will always be more to do and that's okay.

Since starting my Accidental Advent project on the 8th, I've made it through an impressive amount of stuff! This is the animated chunk of the pile; the manga/comics/magazines/etc will come later.

Grimms Notes - could not get into at any point despite some fun gimmicks; turns out this was based on a dead Square-Enix mobile game that never reached global. Basically a wander through fairy tales. Also Joan of Arc is a fairy tale now and I am actually kinda curious why Japan likes her so much.

ClassicaLoid (S1) - this was fun? Composers reconstituted into the present with weird abilities? Like, this was fun and dumb but I cannot imagine watching it again or seeking out the second season. Really good music, and I really liked all the composers but... yeah.

Cars 1-3 - iirc this was a gift, and this is actually the first time I've seen Cars 2 since it came out. It's still bad! 1 & 3 are formulaic and charming, but 2 is bafflingly bad! I think the main problem is that it hangs on Mater and he's not a lead character archetype. Wait, no, that's one of the main problems; the other is the entire plot and wtf. Hilariously, these were packaged in the case as 1, 3, and then 2 in the back. I agree.

Earl & Fairy - this is still charming and since the novels are licensed I should really get them. (eBook only afaik, alas) This was a 'I've seen this multiple times but it got licensed and I guess I bought a copy?' watch.

Monster Musume OVAs - idk why this is a loose disc or where it came from because while I read some of the manga, I've never seen the anime. I legit do not know where this came from. Also since it's OVAs, it's boobies bouncing breastily everywhere.

Fractale - I don't know why I bought this. I mean, the entire creative team suggests I should have really liked it but it was downright awful and I almost turned it off after the second episode but I thought it might get better? Overdone 'everyone prefers VR' + main character gets accidentally pegged as a pervert and the accusations follow him for the whole show for no reason. I feel like this could have and should have been good, but it was terrible.

Anyway, two for the shelf, three for the sale box, will ask M if perhaps he misplaced or would like the Monster Musume disc.

Whew! A whole week got away from me. I am a little behind on the Accidental Advent, but I will have time this week to catch up. ^^;;

(Sunday's belated post)

Yesterday was our annual family expedition to Eastern Market in Detroit, so my fridge is filled with vegetables. At some point shortly, all stir-fry all the time, lol. I am very excited. I didn't mean to buy as much as I did, but everything looked so good!

It's Tokyo Game Show week and as usual, I took a couple of days off for it. Honestly, the official streaming schedule is pretty anemic. There are two or three things I might watch, and one S-E stream. I'm not sure who else might have streaming presentations that I want to watch...

(but since it's my ~annual 'clean the utility room' weekend, I'll also be doing that!)

I finished my iddyiddybangbang project and will be posting it later in the week! I took one of the amnesty dates both because I was So Busy last weekend/week and because I just wasn't done. But now I am (and I suppose if I'd not been so busy I might've finished then?) and I've also leveled up my time management and project management skills.

Yeah, mostly I'm just thrilled to have the Project done!
