怒りのツルギ

Except I've mostly lost track of dates so I'm basically tossing out the old advent and will start over with counting down to... idk, Xmas? all over again?

Dragon Goes House Hunting 9 (Kawo Tanuki & Choco Aya) - still cute, still gonna be glad this is ending next volume.

Polite Society - this was honestly really fun even if it wasn't entirely what I was expecting and I think it'll likely end up as a frequent comfort watch just because it's so delightful and over the top.

Know Your Ships (2011 Edition) - my father picked up a bundle and this was a duplicate of what he had, so I now have a fancy, if outdated, Great Lakes Ship reference. \o/

Nobunaga Concerto - JFF film, this is a movie wrapping up a television series, and the movie does the quickest three minute recap and then just runs with the bonkers isekai premise. It was okay, but probably lost a lot without having seen the series.

Bleach S1 - I actually had expected to watch this and then put it in the sale bin but I really enjoyed it. Maybe I'll pick up the next set and see how far I get before I fall off like I always do. Bleach has a really good beginning.

Every Day A Good Day - JFF film, this one was about tea ceremony and was a nice enough culture drama. About a young woman learning tea ceremony and how she kept with it over the years.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers 6-11 (Katsuyuki Sumizawa, Tomofumi Ogasawara) - the whole middle and getting to the end! Lots of little differences and explanations for things that felt vague in the anime. Gorgeous art and fun extras, too.

Confetti - JFF film, this one was absolutely wonderful. About the youngest member of a traveling theater troupe and how he enrolls in a new school for the duration of the troupe's stay in a town, but he doesn't tell his classmates about his life.

The Prince and the Dressmaker (Jen Wang) - reread to finally write something for small_fandoms since I've meant to for actual ages. This is still delightful and full of yearning.

Tsukipro The Animation 2 - still idols and fun songs, but things get a lot weirder in this one and it's a lot of fun.

Let's Go Karaoke - JFF film, live-action adaptation, about a yakuza guy recruiting a teenage choir member to teach him how to sing. It's not BL but it's also not not BL, or something. I ended up watching the short anime version afterward and while it does some things different, they're both really good.

Heavy Metal L-Gaim (Box Set 1) - L-Gaim is getting a domestic release (or just has) so I wanted to watch this ancient bootleg set and see if I actually liked it enough to get the proper version. Unfortunately the translation on this is pretty poor and I'm not sure how I feel about the story. There are a lot of interesting things but also a lot that... eh. But absolute banger of an OP, if nothing else. I do have the second set but it's vanished from the pile by the TV so ???

Carole & Tuesday - since I picked up the fancy box set, I wanted to do a quick disc check and this is always so, so good. I don't think I've ever actually put this show away because I always want to watch it again. Fabulous music, fabulous everything.

Now that it's time to go back to work for the week, the brainweasels of "you didn't get enough done this weekend" have come to circle. Could I have done more? Probably. But did I do an absolute lot? Sure did! (Just ask my back!)

While digging through stacks of books that I didn't realize I had, I came to two conclusions. First, swapping out the short, long bookcase in degrading condition would be a good plan. There have been two tall, thin bookcases at the 'rents that were 'given' to me years ago that I just didn't think I had space for. If those will fit in the same spot, it'll be perfect. And second, I completely fell off with Accidental Advent, which is fine and not terribly surprising. I'll see about re-starting in the near future because I did enjoy the nudge. (The old bookcase can probably go to the garage if I can get it up on cinderblocks. It's still fine to hold non-book things but if the bottom shelf has started a chemical reaction, I don't assume it'll magically stop.)

I suppose plans for the rest of spring/summer are going to involve clearing every shelf, cleaning it, and checking conditions of things. I also need to get fresh air into the place more often. I'd wanted to get things opened up already but it's also rained every day for like two weeks now. Except right now, because it's snowing heavily. (WTF)

Also got a good percentage of my gunpla logged. I want to eventually have a good list of what I have both unbuilt and built. While just my backlog sounds like a slightly better time, I definitely know that I've built things and then forgotten about them as time passed. (In my defense, I mean built in like ~2010.)

I stirred up a lot of dust, which mostly means that I have a lot of dust and need to do some work tetris-ing things around so I can do a more thorough vacuum and whatnot.

I know I declare every year as the year I finally sort through everything but I'm feeling the motivation and am going to try to run with it.
