Out of every year that I’ve been alive, 2022 was certainly one of them. We saw the end of covid in our collective capability to simply stop caring about it. The queen died, that’s pretty big. Not our queen, she’s still doing fine as far as I’m aware. I went back to teaching this year … Continue reading 2023 New Year’s Resolutions

Quick Reviews: Fall 2022 Edition
Spy x Family isn't on this list because it needs its own dedicated post. The second opening 'Souvenir' by Bump of Chicken is easily my most listened anime song of the season. They nailed it, like they always do! Happy New Year everyone! I know this post only goes up on the second of January, … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Fall 2022 Edition
The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter One
The girl and the library Maharis I Sprawling along a riverbank laid a magical town. Lantern lights filled the city and brightened the streets with koi fish swimming through the seemingly endless river. The night sky felt like it was strangely close, almost close enough to grasp it, yet ever so slightly out of reach. … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter One
Bleach’s first cour is over (episodes 12 + 13)
It’s the end of the year. I hope everyone had their fill of amazing food during Christmas and is ready for the new year. I love the new year because it feels like a new start. I’m well aware that half the things I promise I’ll do better or more off will fall to the … Continue reading Bleach’s first cour is over (episodes 12 + 13)
Bleach Episode 11 – Everything but the rain
If I’m right, this is the penultimate episode of the first cour of Bleach’s new anime. Time flies when you’re having fun. We’re getting a solid introduction to this new arc with some cool fights. I think the squad zero part so far has been disappointing, but we start this episode off with some very … Continue reading Bleach Episode 11 – Everything but the rain
2022
When I first started university I did a course on communication & media design. I dropped out halfway through the year due to a combination of mental health issues and a total lack of talent when it comes to design. But before I dropped out, I made some friends that I never spoke to after … Continue reading 2022
Bleach Episode 10 – The battle
I remember this scene feeling like a fever trip in the manga. I felt confused about what was happening at all times. It seems a bit more obvious what is going on this time around. The fight between the kenpachis continues. Both Unohana and Zaraki are absolute freaks when it comes to the joy that … Continue reading Bleach Episode 10 – The battle
Bleach Episode 9 – The Drop
We’re starting off strong. Kyoraku has been named the next Captain Commander after Yamamoto’s passing. Unsurprisingly, he’s not happy about this. He has a meeting with Central 46 who are still as useless and annoying as ever. I wonder if they’re modeled after the US Senate. His plan is to make Zaraki Kenpachi learn Zanjutsu, … Continue reading Bleach Episode 9 – The Drop
Go back to bed, Mr. West
A little while ago I wrote a post about Kanye West and separating the art from the artist. At that point in time Ye, the antisemite formerly known as Kanye West, was saying a whole bunch of anti-semitic things and going down crazy street. Back then I was of the opinion that personally I could … Continue reading Go back to bed, Mr. West
Looking Back on NaNoWriMo 2022
It’s December. Can you believe that? This year was both incredibly slow yet flew by. Time perception is such a fascinating thing to me. Did you know that the older you get, the faster time feels due to the fact that the time you’re experiencing is becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of your total … Continue reading Looking Back on NaNoWriMo 2022
