I’ll Be Going Live In About 45 Minutes!

Yeah, this looks right. It’s been a fun year.

every time i see a clip or a fanart of ichigo and asauchi-hollow-zangetsu, I want to see a friendship montage of them riding bikes and singing karaoke and sharing a banana split. let them have a little fun. i am not sure if asauchi-hollow-zangetsu is even capable of opening his mouth and it would honestly be even funnier if he can't. chad and orihime can be there, too.

Do you guys ever just think “Holy shit, we’re getting Kingdom Hearts IV. We’re going to be getting a new major Kingdom Hearts game.”

We don’t know when but we are getting a new game. We’re going to see Sora again, see the rest of the main cast, potentially new characters, see new interactions, potentially see some characters reunite, see new friendships be made, more Disney worlds to explore, more progression in the story and lore, more twists more turns and you just

Just so people in the US know, Hulu will be raising their subscription price next Monday, when Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War premieres. I signed up for the ad plan which is currently $6.99 and will be $7.99 on October 10th. I assume the no ads plan will be similar. I know this isn’t a huge price increase but I still think it’s worth mentioning. So get your free trials while you can.

My 2023 in Summary

Okay, so this year was weird. Like, it wasn't particularly bad but it wasn't great either. Where do I start? I guess the biggest thing that happened was that my wife got laid off from her job and we've worried about that since May. She just got hired for a new job recently and I'm working now too, but more on that in a sec. We had to seriously consider what we were gonna do next if she didn't get a new job by the end of next month. We probably would've had to move back to our hometown. It wouldn't have been the worst thing but we've made a nice life for ourselves where we are now. Thankfully, we have a great network of supportive people who are willing to help us and I'm so grateful for that.

Anyway, I got my first real job a couple of weeks ago. I'm working as a sales associate at my local Vintage Stock, which works for me because I'm autistic so it's nice to be surrounded by stuff pertaining to my special interests (anime, video games, etc.). I haven't had luck with finding a job before because of said autism and a lack of a college degree. I once bombed an interview to work as a library page that it kinda scared me. So that's fun. It's been a big learning experience. A friend of mine from college is my manager so again, I'm really grateful for people in my life. Ordinarily getting a first job is not a huge deal. But I turned 30 this year so yeah. Speaking of which...

I turned 30 back in August. Big milestone, I guess. I don't feel that different. What has happened since I turned 30, you ask? Welp, I accidently ripped off a toenail on the day of birthday party. It's growing back so no worries, nothing serious. Hurt like hell, though. Then my wife and I went on our first vacation since our honeymoon, five years ago. To be specific, our first vacation ALONE. We've been on plenty with friends and family. Anyway, it was super fun. We went to Denver and had a great time. Two of my favorite manga (Undead Unluck and Mashle) got anime adaptations this year, along with the continuation of Bleach: TYBW. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom took over my life for most of May and June and it was great. I found out that my favorite game of all time, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, is getting a remake next year. I went into another indefinite hiatus with streaming. And I found out that I might have scalp psoriasis. Cool.

Like I said, it has been a weird year. But, I am kinda curious to see what 2024 has in store. To anyone reading this, I hope you have a happy New Year!
