Digging Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 through the first two episodes. Roman, D, King, and Talia are compelling in their own ways and just enjoying the ride at this point.

It took like 60 episodes to get here, but Mimosa is actually an interesting romantic possibility for Asta after all. I found her so bland back when she debuted, but she really leveled up for me in the Royal Knights Selection Test arc, particularly after we learned she's not a fan of her ultra-glam brother.

In a bunch better headspace this afternoon after spending some quality time with Mary at lunch. Think we've got all of our soccer logistics sorted out for this weekend too.

Introduced the girls to Black Clover tonight and as I expected they loved it. The funny part is that's only after the first two episodes- there's so much more to come in just the next 20 or so episodes.

Years after first having the idea, finally ordered replacement canvas for a couple of old director's chairs I've been using in my home office. We actually have a bunch more of these chairs if this works out.

Nothing like the minor nagging annoyance of not being able to find a missing t-shirt across a few weeks, despite being sure you put it in the laundry hamper.

Today's brutal inflation shock- forgot a can of Coke Zero for lunch so picked one up at the Hemminson Center Marketplace: $2.20 for a single can! That said, it'd probably be more from a vending machine and most of those don't take cash anymore anyway.

Looks like the Forester is repaired and ready for pickup (the solenoid that controls AWD went bad). Relieved to finally have that issue resolved.

It took three drafts and going with mono green in the latest one to get my first win in Reality Fracture limited. Not really digging the set so far.

Dandadan #247 completely subverted my expectations for the obvious Vamolo - Super Dino kaiju battle. Definitely a fun return to action even if it didn't include any progress on the Okarun oni transformation front.

Ted Lasso S4E9 Mae Rides the Bus 👍👍
This episode has to be the absolute pinnacle of simultaneous emotional highs and lows in one episode of Ted Lasso.

Given that the main character is a badass assassin I never would have guessed that Marriage Toxin is actually a crazy wholesome action romcom. So many wacky scenarios and memorable characters!

Cyberpunk:Edgerunners S1 👍 Enjoyed the dystopian Night City setting, characters, and relationships enough to watch the whole 10 episode season in one day, but ended up dissatisfied with the second half of the season. David and Lucy seemed like exactly the kind of people who should have been completely radicalized against the megacorps and smart enough to do something meaningful. Instead they both were content to do shady megacorp-backed mercenary work because it paid for penthouses and cool chrome.

I really like Risa and Otani's general dynamic in Love Complex, but I was completely fed up with his constant obtuseness and insecurities by the time they finally got together.

It's a good thing Netflix is getting some new anime seasons that I want to watch in October because I feel like I'm getting close to needing to sign up for Crunchy Roll to watch all of the shows I'm interested in and I don't really want to sign up for another streaming service.

Finally watched A League of Their Own thirty plus years after it came out. Thought it was a good movie with a great cast, but hated the ending.

Didn't really have any leftovers to work with so broke out the emergency ramen today. It was high-quality stuff from my brother-in-law, with three different packets- one of which was a red spicy packet (I used about half).

The EFL Championship is unreal. 24 teams and 46 games total in the season. Just saw a clickbait article about Wrexham's slow start (7 points in 7 games), but they still have 39 games left and started similarly slowly last year.

Apothecary Diaries 👍👍 has been quite enjoyable. I've had it in mind for a while, glad it's as good as I hoped it would be.

Not sure what it says when both my neighboring cube mates chose to relocate away from me as soon as they got the chance.

Ooh, first page spoilers for the final chapter of The Dangers In My Heart show Kyotaro getting up to help Anna through her graduation speech struggles. I'm not even sure what he's supposed to do once he gets up there but I'm sure it will make for a dramatic finish!

Time for my end of day productivity push. Looking forward to Houston's birthday celebration tonight.

I like that the iPhone Duo has kind of a passport aesthetic and screen ratio. The controls moving to the right side and orienting vertically makes sense as well. Not for me, but I bet it will be a hit.

Nice rainy day today. Not quite my birthday, but still a good one to celebrate it on.

Based on how the penultimate chapter left off I'm kind of skeptical that the final chapter of The Dangers In My Heart manga can wrap everything up satisfactorily. But I hope to be surprised.
