A big focus of my blog throughout the years has been the state of my mental health. It’s had its ups and downs and lately it’s been a little less stable than I would like it to be, but I feel like it’s slowly going on an upwards trajectory again. I was actually feeling pretty … Continue reading When sleep evades you

The Eminence in Shadow
When the Eminence in Shadow started airing I almost didn’t watch it. An edgy isekai show with an overpowered main character who has a harem of girls fawning over him. I’ve seen that too many times for it to still be interesting. But something about the first episode kept me interested. Cid as a character … Continue reading The Eminence in Shadow
Vol 2: Chapter Seven – Dinner with the queen II
“When I first met my husband I was fourteen years old. I wouldn’t yet get to know him for another four years, but I encountered him unexpectedly. I was born in a small village two days to the north of Saphestan. I never knew my father and by the time I turned ten, my mother … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Seven – Dinner with the queen II
Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 7
Now that we’re at the halfway point of the season, let’s do a quick recap to see what has happened so far. We’ve seen a flashback of when Fukuzawa and Ranpo met each other. In this flashback we saw several members of Five, including the mustachioed gentleman that was with Fukuzawa initially but seems to … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 7
One Piece Volume 6
Volume 6 is here and we’re quickly ramping up in excitement. Last time we finished up the Kuro pirates arc and Usopp officially joined the crew. We met up with Johnny and Yosaku who are Zoro’s buddies. The crew traveled to the sailing restaurant Baratie where we met Sanji, the next member to possibly join … Continue reading One Piece Volume 6
AI art and the industrial revolution
Today, I am teaching my students about AI and deep fakes. It’s actually part of the current chapter we’re working on that is about science & technology. Obviously these are children learning a basic amount of English so we won’t have a deep discussion about the ethics of AI art, but I do hope to … Continue reading AI art and the industrial revolution
The Legend of Vox Machina (Spoilers)
As of this Friday, the second season of the Legend of Vox Machina has wrapped up. For those unfamiliar, it’s an animated show based on the Dungeons & Dragons campaign that Critical Role became famous with. It jumpstarted D&D’s popularity into the mainstream and it’s been a constant in my life for about eight years … Continue reading The Legend of Vox Machina (Spoilers)
Vol 2: Chapter Six – Dinner with the queen I
Cobal spent the afternoon in his room alone. He felt uneasy. Somehow he was worried about the dinner. He was worried about his little sister. He hadn’t seen her since they returned to the capital and he assumed it was no accident that she didn’t come looking for him. He was hoping she wasn’t angry … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Six – Dinner with the queen I
Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 6
The exploits of the Armed Detective Agency are being properly acknowledged by the government at this point, even handing out a prestigious award to Fukuzawa. It’s honestly kind of disappointing that we only get 13 episodes at a time, but we’ll have to deal with that. On the bright side, we go back to seeing … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs IV – Episode 6
My thoughts on the wizard game
When I was around ten or eleven years olds I found myself reading this book about a young wizard boy and his friends. I was immediately enthralled by the concept and eventually got so impatient that I learned English just so I could read the second book that had not been translated yet. I don’t … Continue reading My thoughts on the wizard game
