I provide entertainment for my teachers by asking if I was supposed to eat the entire mackerel that had bones in it (I knew the answer was going to be no but I didn't mind and I was too self-conscious to spit the bones out once I started lmao)

I finished it, now I can read the smut. (I rate 1984 4.5/5 stars).

Boooo I have to go back to work tomorrow and actually start the year or whatever.

I'm at least 2/3 (maybe 3/4) through 1984... I just finished Part 2, Chapter 9 (aka the 40 page section from The Book). Unfortunately it's very much become a "this is such a slog but it's important" book, like Frankenstein did. And I'm glad I read Frankenstein.

Anyway have you guys seen the gay hockey. Great show.
Waiting to read the novels after I finish 1984 (I'm halfway through).

I feel like there is no perfect solution to my problem... At least this cuts down on the discomfort significantly. (I also have Raynaud's and it's gotten a lot worse this year. I had it happen while I was inside Aeon supermarket.)

I've been struggling with my apartment being 10-12C and not wanting to run the heat. I bought an electric blanket. It sucks for keeping my hands warm. Today, I picked up some 200円 gloves at Daiso. Only the index finger and thumb are cut off. they're great except that my index finger GETS SO COLD.

My dumbass has been saying "otoshi yori" instead of "yoi otoshi" for "happy new year."

「お年より」🔴
「お年よい」🟡
「よいお年」🟢

Luckily, if you try hard enough to believe I said "yoi" instead of "yori", it's passable.

At this point I'm just collecting experiences for my YouTube animated series about Things That Have Happened in My Life.

I have so much material (I have drafted one script. I dare not make producing anything a resolution but we'll see. Under a different username.)

I have finished the show and it was gOOD. My main critique is that the time skips are so damn annoying. Like you want me to believe this takes place over 8 years. That's insane. Everyone still looks the same.

I thought Heated Rivalry was going to be ass/badly acted but it's not. I like it.

I found a desk and chair set at 2nd Street today for 5,000 yen! Yay merry christmas to me; I don't have to hunch over my laptop anymore.

Made some styling progress for NeatNest. It's almost completely Vuetify'd now but the spacing is still janky and not standardized. I just want to finish this so I can implement the last of the actual features (friends, money, shop restocking, trading) and show it to people :V

Pikmin bloom when you move across the world and your decor Pikmin aren't winged/pink (pain)

I made a call to reschedule a city health appointment. I am very cool and nihongo jyouzu.

I finally added touch support so you can do pixel art on ur phone or tablet like a WEIRDO

I'm trying to commit a little harder to immersion and studying because I want to take and pass N2 in the summer. You basically can't' get a job without it... I've been ghosted twice by recruiters after saying I don't have any JLPT credentials.

25 minutes into the Japanese dubbed version of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and I'm struggling so hard 😭 (I have read all the books except for the prequels and seen all the movies besides the new ones).

The earth has really been quaking it up this week in Japan.

Every time I go in 2nd street I look at the used guitars. I want to get one, but I have to spend my money on boring things like groceries for now... Maybe in January or February.

Wheeeeee you can draw on the pixel canvas, upload your pet or item, and then have it display. Neatnest is coming along... (I am trying not to question how useful it is to build this on Amplify and whether or not it's a waste of my time)

I realized my car has a CD player and I brought a case of CDs from home. Wooooo
Also one of my favorite schools today let's get this bread (before going to my least favorite tomorrow)

Oh yeah, it's now been a whole month since I arrived! Yay!

Also I keep saying "yeah no I can barely speak Japanese" (I know I make a shitton of grammatical errors) but I DID just tell the lady at the grocery store "oh my gosh I'm so sorry but I left my wallet in my car, can I run out and get it really quickly?!" and she understood (not super high level tho)

Having floor length doors that you can't see the light inside when they're shut is nice until you leave the light on in the closet while you're gone because you can't tell it's on.

Also having my first Strong Zero. It's not that good.
Luckily I'm broke so I'm not spending my money on alcohol.

The internet at my apartment is so ass sometimes

Sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow (today was "sports day" which is apparently a national holiday here in Japan). I think trying less hard will actually get me better results at work, so that's my goal this week.

Okay it turns out that since I made my app from scratch instead of from one of the templates, I was inadvertently using Amplify V1. V2 is much easier to control in the GUI. I spent all day recreating it and fixing dumb errors but it's coming along.
