I totally meant to add a post last week but things got a tad hectic. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ During fall break, I got to see a Van Halen cover band, they were pretty good & fun to listen to. We managed to snag front row & I was able to catch a pick & sing with vocalist?! (I was definitely not expecting that, lol.) But it was fun overall! On Thanksgiving, I hung out with family & the day after we had a cousins brunch. It was nice being able to catch up with them & spend time together. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ Aside from Christmas, we're hoping to get together at one of the local cons. (Already got my ticket, yikes prices have really gone up. TAT ) After brunch we did some holiday shopping, I got gifts for mostly everyone. So I'm glad I knocked that out of the way.

That Saturday, I was also able to spend some time with a friend, he gifted me an Alice in Chains CD. I was pretty stoked, I love them a bunch, lol. We visited a few retro game stores, one of them had a shiba inu chilling up front, so cute! ૮ ♡ﻌ♡ა Afterwards, we went to a comic shop & I was able to pick up a few volumes. Then we went to a taiyaki/ ice-cream place. Their specialty flavor that day was cereal milk & it did indeed taste like cereal milk, lol. Following that, we visited the record store, I was browsing for Type O Negative but no luck. Finally, we chilled at my buddy's place & he was able to show me some stuff he's been working on.

The week after, it was my birthday. I was really surprised how many of my co-workers remembered & went out of their way to wish me happy birthday & get me stuff. It was really sweet, I've never had anything like that in a workplace environment. After work, I had dinner with family & we watched a Christmas tree lighting & took some nice photos. It was a nice night overall. The weather was pretty chilly! I also treated myself & got a steamdeck, been playing the Hades game. Gosh, it's tedious but also fun. I love the art for it! It's gorgeous! (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`) ♡ But it's definitely going to take me a while to complete it.

As for my creative hobbies, I've mostly been working on drawing my OCs. Kinda redesigning a few of them & hashing out a few ideas. Still working on the same chapter of my fic, writing takes a lot of my brain power & sometimes I just don't have enough after work. ;__; Looking forward to winter break where I can write a bit more, I also saw an event pop up & I want to participate because the prompts seemed fun. So I'll try to get as much of that done over the break. I've also been practicing my footwork for fencing, I hope I'm doing it right. I can't make it to most of the practices because of work so I've been doing some solo-studying. Just gotta do what I can, lol.

Peace out! (>‿◠)✌

I definitely had some sticker shock the last time I looked at the price for the local anime con. Like, how did I afford going for the whole weekend when I was in high school?? It's so expensive now!

Happy belated birthday!

My younger sibling and I played through a good chunk of Hades, but certainly didn't complete everything. (We made it through the main plot, but I really want to someday play through and complete all the side character quests and romance arcs and stuff.) It's a lot of fun, though! I hope at some point I have a system I can play it on.

It has gotten so pricey! It used to be something that required a little bit of saving up to do, but I *could* manage to do even as a teenager... Now I can't imagine a high school kid affording it! I can't afford it as an employed adult!

I hope I do get something that lets me play some current games. Eventually it's gotta happen!

Yeah, it's a shame to me to think about how many people probably don't ever get to experience going to a con, just because of the cost involved. It was such a fun and really formative thing for me as a teen! I know that this is pretty much "old person yells at cloud" of me, talking about "how it was back in my day," but... I'm sad to think of people missing out on something that they would enjoy.
