Geej

26 degrees Celsius, small breeze, totally overcast. Beautiful.

And at the end of October, Hawaii achieved the Perfect Weather

Also I am once again begging Aimer to become the goth queen that Insane Dream and I Beg U show us she can be (the Open A Door album is good but not goth enough)

This one, Lee Suhyun, is particularly noticeable because she seems to exclusively sing for tv/movie soundtracks and then Alien is *bop*

I have yet again found an artist who has one (1) banger upbeat bop and otherwise exclusively does ballads and lo-fi 😕

(They are currently watching TV, which is how I'm able to tweet now rather than stopping them from violently hurting each other and screaming)

Tbf I'm not being honest. They get two hours of TV time a day. It's my saviour. Even ChatGPT, the wussiest "best practices" square imaginable, recommended giving them another half hour in the middle of the afternoon.

Imagine thirteen hour shifts with the most arsey combative coworkers and the only "break" is driving around for an hour (to force them to sleep).

Ngl my alcohol consumption has gone up considerably since the twins stopped napping while still desperately needing to nap

It is also why my banter at the pub has been severely sub-par for the past month

This is why I don't feel the need to do Nanowrimo

My critique pal once said "I can't belive you write this [evil stuff] with your kids in the house!" and I was like I write this *because* they are in the house.

Update: I let them watch TV for nearly 2 hours while I wrote something evil and then I felt much better.

TV's on again.

All hail the boob tube.

The absolute fucking tedium of trying to stop them fighting, again. Stealing toys, again. Nap when they're actually tired, for once.

Not enjoying being a parent this afternoon.

Anyone who plays Stardew more optimized than me is a soulless capitalist sucking all the fun out of a relaxing game. Anyone who plays Stardew less optimized than me is a foolish stooge who doesn't understand strategy

The way this guy says "Chibi Anime" has completely destroyed my vocabulary.

They say that having children brings out your inner child again.

As a child I was obsessed with animals and the fact that my 2 year old kids can't tell the difference between a rhino and a hippo ENRAGES me

In other anime news, today's The Summer Hikaru Died had me So Fucking Stressed for a full twenty minutes, A+

Anyway RIP Kyon, you deserve to be in another anime that will stay popular for longer.

I have never before agreed with a male main character going to physically hit a female main character while saying "She's being an asshole!' She WAS being an asshole!

If the end of S2 had been as good as the end of S1 then people would have dealt with it, but instead it was plot stasis and Haruhi being a fucking asshole. I watched all of Endless Eight in two days; it took me months to get the will to watch those last episodes.

Two vodkas in and listening to anime tunes, time to get on my soapbox about how Endless Eight didn't actually kill Haruhi Suzumiya, it was the fact that the rest of the season was fucking rubbish that did it.

John left for a conference in Arizona on Friday evening. It is now Tuesday evening. In the time John has been gone, the twins have:
- dropped their nap
- gone up into size 3 clothes
- started peeing in the toilet
Two and half year olds are insane.

Other examples of basic bitchery include both times that I mentioned to a dude how hard I shipped Trowa and Quatre from Gundam Wing when I was younger and he replied, "Yeah, but that's basically canon."

(For anyone wondering why I'm two vodkas in on a Sunday night, I will refer you to my children and the fact that John is once again away at a conference.)

This is my two-vodkas-in way of saying that it's embarrassing how much Jinu is 100% the hottest guy in Saja Boys to me and all of the close-ups on him in the Your Idol section of KPop Demon Hunters are 🔥

I am reminded of this whenever I go online and see lassies thirsting over dudes and I'm like... "I like Henry Golding uwu"
