Okay yup, unfollowing ANYONE who Skeets ANYTHING about Expedition 33. I'm so mad at the spoilers I've just seen...

Oooh I do know that feel… I hope you got back to sleep though~

GOING TO JAPAN IN A WEEK AND A HALF WITH @tankingcleric.bsky.social AHHHHH

GOOD MORNING BOO

Arr, that's the stuff. Hell, let's throw in "People-pleaser" while we're at it!

How do we feel about お人好し = Doormat? 🤔

My travel roster for this year is BONKERS. Which means I am working through every damn weekend for the foreseeable future to fund it, lol

Behold the Böög, the snowman effigy they burn in Zurich to usher in Summer. THERE IS DYNAMITE IN ITS HEAD

The Böög is READY. Just look at that creepy face!

YouTube video by Visit Zurich Who or What is the Böögg?

Breaking hiatus to say: HAPPY SECHSELÄUTEN!

Old and tired: A mystical groundhog predicts how much longer "Winter" will last.
New fire: The faster this snowman effigy explodes, the better the summer will be. I LOVE SWISSYLAND

Yeah um holy shit

Damn! Not even an hour-long walk on the treadmill got me up to 10k. Only 8.5! THIS SHALL NOT STAND (that’s it, that’s all I did with my day. Hello new followers btw)

Also, MOVIE?!?!?! Awww hell yeasss

My dying plant judges me in the dim light of an Edison bulb while a bottle of Moscato wine stands to one side of my laptop, and a cute, innocent catgirl figure in a teapot pouts at me from the other.

Look: would I ever recommend the Hemmingway School of Writing to the next industry greenhorn to cross my feed? No, of course not!

(Luckily for me, nobody's crossing it.)

Anyway, this Moscato is delicious!

Last year, I bid a fond farewell to a number of series I loved (Abe-kun, Beastly Prince ;_;), said hello again to old favorites (Harem Marriage!), and challenged myself with more emotionally nuanced stories like Cat Man and Wolf's Daughter.
Even if I slow down in 2025, I'll keep bringing my A-game!

Presenting my 2024 wrapped!

I assumed I wouldn't be as busy in 2024 as 2023, but you know what they say about assumptions... This list could have been even longer if I hadn't started my language immersion school this summer... 😅

2025 is less than a week away?! 😱 Crazy how fast time flies 😮‍💨

乙!! I will be (hopefully) joining the club tomorrow! I'm also capping off the season with Metaphor... AND FONDUUUE

SHE DID IT!! SHE'S TOO POWERFUL!!

I have Thoughts™ about the overall narrative (which I won't go into because I don't want to influence your playthrough!!) but the localization is SOOO... GOOD... I am such a sucker for period speak...

Mine's definitely using British conventions, but you know I'm in Swissyland, so I'm not sure if that's a factor...🤔(I respect the vibe if it's universal, though.)

I am definitely coming down with a cold, but I am literally BEGGING, PLEADING with my immune system to hold out for, like, 50 more pages and 10 more hours of editing? pLEASE GUYS? I promise we can collapse into the nearest gutter for the next two weeks!!

VERY VERY EXCITED TBH

Kodansha's giving away free vol. 1's through December, and today you can splurge on Gazing at the Star Next Door for the low low cost of FREEE!!

The characters are BABIES and you should definitely be reading it. (I'd follow it rabidly even if I wasn't the one TLing it!)

My sister was never the same after she got into cross-stitching. She's working on a Cardcaptor Sakura one right now, and I'mma beat her up for it when she's done. 😎 (This is an endorsement, btw lol)

Ah yes, I see the spam bots are slowly but surely making their ways to Booskie...

I've been having fun teaching my multicultural German (GSL?) class outdated American slang. Today, I taught them how to "groove"! Next week I'm "fixing to" (WoTD yesterday) teach them to speak with a terrible southern drawl. Any other suggestions?

(I am a menace and cannot be stopped!)

I want to learn to knit. How cool would it be to make scarves and hats made from the wool sold by our neighbor down the street instead of feeding the corporate machine? 🥹

(I'm in my "dreaming about becoming crafty and not so much of a workaholic" era.)

(Ps: support locally owned businesses. UwU)

He really said "No pawpawrazzi" lmao
