one year ago, i had the idea to write my thoughts and things i did in monthly journal entries. it took a lot of courage. but after setting strict limits and getting rid of the audience in my head, i started documenting the things ive been doing for over a year now.

i admit it was a bit hard to open up. i worry that i repeat myself a lot. that i reuse the same openers for paragraphs, that my descriptions are too simple, that i talk too much about relationships in shows.. but honestly, who cares? it's my site, it's my diary, and it's my bullshit. anyone that might read this is reading to see me, not some professional journalist. this whole site is a look into my soul and that includes this section.

but sentimental stuff out of the way, i started up a save file in dragon quest iv, specifically the ds version. im not too savvy on the dragon quest series (i do have xi but i didnt get far in it), but im obsessed with the character designs. especially in the earlier installments. i also want like a billion slime plushies. anyways, i've cleared chapter 1 and i've done a bit of progress on chapter 2. alena is my favorite and if anything happens to her i will hurt someone.

i binge watched all the di gi charat specials. im surprised i only got to them now, as i love going back and rewatching the original 16 episode anime every few months or so. i really like how it utilizes details, simplicity, and even live action for comedic effect. the ohanami special is my favorite out of all of them.

this isnt exactly news worthy, but while i was out shopping i bought a plush of bunnie from animal crossing. this wouldnt be too notable if it werent for why i did it. ysee, the gaming section of my local walmart has little boxes of plushies. usually just nintendo stuff. one of the boxes was just full of bunnies. and it seemed like nobody was buying any. after one too many sad gazes upon it, i finally caved and bought one of them. i try to be careful with purchasing plushies, as they tend to be insanely expensive for some reason. but i just couldn't resist. i just felt bad, yknow?

and finally, go for it nakamura is getting an anime soon. i am so excited. im curious to see how the style will translate into animation. will it try to replicate the manga best to its ability or will it go for a faux retro style? complete with cel animation and compression? either way, i look forward to it!

this month is the last full month of being busy with family stuff. hopefully september will be a lot of fun, since i'll have more time to myself.
