Haven't done a life update in a while because nothing of note has been going on... Mostly just going to work, coming home, falling asleep on the couch after attempting to play Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies because I have old man syndrome where as soon as I settle in to do something entertaining I get sleepy. (Also I haven't been getting a lot of sleep so that probably isn't helping either lol.)


Saturday I worked, so I had today off and actually did some fun things! Went to a breakfast place nearby with my family for lunch and that was nice. I've been craving home fries but I never make them myself so I was like my god, finally, home fries time sjdfhksjs

Afterwards I went to the mall because I wanted to see if the Bath and Body Works had anything left from its semi-annual sale. Spoiler alert: it did not. Well, it had a few items, but nothing good. There were ZERO 75% off soaps left which is mostly what I was looking for, and their regular sales currently going on were crap and they hadn't mailed out any new coupons, so...forget that!! As punishment I left and went to buy stuff at Hot Topic instead lmaooo.

There I did find a $7 clearance t-shirt of Faye Cowboy Bebop which I promptly bought, as well as some silly little blind box buttons of cute animals themed after the Major Arcana which were also on sale, which I plan to open at work tomorrow with some of my coworkers/divvy them up with them because they got really into blind box figures last year and kept giving me their duplicates.

Despite already going out for lunch I picked up food court chicken teriyaki before leaving AND THEN at home I made three boxes of those Pillsbury holiday sugar cookies that you just drop on a pan and bake. Truly a day of indulgence sjshdfksjhfds I ate a bunch and then put the rest in a tin to take to work to share as well.


I hate white shirts but I love the neon colors, so for 7 bucks I'll live. Also I want the Magician button sooo bad.


I am going to be so popular at work tomorrow.

I also wanted to mention that I watched The Wild Robot and it was really good! It's a DreamWorks animated movie about a service robot that ends up shipwrecked on an island inhabited only by animals and ends up becoming the adoptive mother of sorts to an orphaned baby goose. I think it's based on a children's book? But the animation was super nice and of course the very on-the-nose themes about family, coming together as a community, etc. made me cry sjhdfkjshsk. Highly recommend watching it!

I haven't seen or read it yet, but I know Wild Robot is a trilogy of books :)

Upon looking at the wikipedia page for the movie, it does say a sequel is "in development" so that's exciting! I suppose they'll base it on the later book(s)?

that faye shirt is very nice!

i watched the wild robot back in november and really enjoyed it, very sweet family film

I was glad I snagged it because I think it was the only one left on the clearance rack. Official merch t-shirts are always so hit-or-miss with their designs but I was like damn this one's actually pretty good sdfhskdjfs

Yeah I didn't know anything about it before I watched it so I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!

I don't always like HT because it feels overpriced, but sometimes you can find something really great in clearance. I also scored a shirt of my favorite characters for like $6 there once. (It was also white and I feel you about white shirts, but... $6 is a small price to pay for blorbos.)

Yeah I never buy anything from them full price anymore, but I do like pawing through their clearance occasionally to see if anything good is left lol. It does feel like finding the holy grail if you DO manage to score something actually good from the clearance bin that nobody else wanted. $6 for blorbos is indeed a small price to pay.

Sounds like a fun day, minus the disappointing Bath and Body Works visit! The cookies look good. :D

[tinkaton]

It was definitely the most I've done out of the house (that wasn't work) all month thus far skdjfsjh

[greghousesgf]

I bet those cookies were yummy.
I'm surprised the High Priestess, Empress, Hierophant, Justice, Wheel of Fortune, Temperance, the Moon, Judgement and the World got left out.

[tinkaton]

They were! The batch I brought to work got eaten in 2 days lol.

Yeah I don't know why they didn't do the full set, I guess they were just like "well 12 is good enough! ship 'em out!" which isn't surprising since they're just junky pins being sold at a Hot Topic. no artistic integrity jsdfhksjfs
