Do I:
- Go see the cutesy anime romcom with a friend or family member, thus outing myself as a weeb and stripping myself of all remaining dignity? or
- Go alone, appearing the very model of the lonely weeb, thus stripping myself of all remaining dignity?
I mean, I could just wait 'til it hits Crunchyroll or something. But I kinda do want to see it on the big screen...

The Quintessential Quintuplets movie.
I do of course plan to go well-groomed. I'm not that far gone. (Though, regrettably, I don't have a three-piece. If I did, I would 100% wear it.)
This is true, Kaymyth. But I feel like the challenge is more in the convincing.

If you go alone, you won't look like a lonely weeb. You'll look like someone who wants to see a movie and is perfectly confident seeing it without companionship.
It's all in the perception.

Not that it particularly needs saying, but Brandon Sanderson is an amazing writer, and The Lost Metal is an excellent book.
SpoilerThere are three things that got me misty-eyed at the end:
- Wayne's ending (the last chapter of the book). I mean, just Wayne in general this book was an emotional rollercoaster, but the last chapter especially.
- The fact that he left his estate to Allriandre.
- Wax's ending (the last chapter of the epilogue).
Also, the sheer amount of cosmere...stuff we get in this book is mind-boggling. Oh look, aethers! Oh look, Kelsier! Oh look, Shai! Oh look!...etc, etc. And here I was thinking Rhythm of War was dense. It's nuts.
Also, Steris. Just...Steris is amazing, y'all. She and Wax are 100% relationship goals.

The pen is a Schon DSGN Pocket Six with a titanium nib from Karas Kustoms, inked with Faber-Castell Garnet Red. A fun little thing about this nib is that it takes on the color of whatever ink you're using, so--while it doesn't come through in the photo very well--the whole thing has a slight reddish cast to it!

*gasp* I'm sooo jealous. Nice, though.

It was quite surreal indeed, but it was also nice to just see this author to whom I greatly look up just...chilling with his family at work, basically. Cool stuff.

Last week, I traded in my laptop for a desktop. As I boxed the little guy up and mailed it off, it felt like I was sending away a part of me. I actually felt empty inside.
Yeah, that's a huge problem.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'll be stepping back from the internet again for the foreseeable future. I'll still check in once in a while--this isn't a wholesale fast like I did last time. But boy howdy do I need to get my life in order, and having such easy access to the Web was running directly counter to that goal. (When you don't even have the attention span to veg out in front of the TV, you know something's wrong.) I'm reminded of a quote from one of my favorite General Conference talks, by Elder Johnson:
QuoteIn our day, there are many distractions, including Twitter, Facebook, virtual reality games, and much more. These technological advances are amazing, but if we are not careful, they can distract us from fulfilling our divine potential. Using them appropriately can bring forth the power of heaven and allow us to witness miracles as we seek to gather scattered Israel on both sides of the veil.
(See also President Oaks' excellent talks on opportunity cost.)
I'm looking forward to increased free time, unburdened by the stress of internet addiction. I'm definitely going to try to read more. I'll pay the piano the attention it deserves, and maybe even learn to play the guitar!
All the while I'll be properly preparing to serve a mission. I've been feeling more and more that I need to do something with my life, and it has become evident to me that that is the next step. And I'm becoming increasingly excited about it!
Anyways, love you guys! Take care.

I have the worst timing, don't I? Last time I gave it a shot was May 2020, and...yeah.

I am feeling absolutely rotten--the sniffles I've been fighting all week have finally caught up with me and now I've got a full-blown cold. I thought to myself, "I feel not unlike Howl when he's got a cold." Then I thought, "Oh, I haven't read that book in a while! I should read it again!"
So I still feel rotten, but some cold meds, some spicy soup, and my favorite book later, things aren't so bad.

Liquid Death, anyone?

It's not just sparkling! They have still too, which I also prefer. (The sparkling isn't bad, but nowhere near San Pellegrino, which is the only sparkling water that is actually good.)
-
It tastes wetter than regular water. Which sounds weird until you try it and realize it's true.

What do you mean, I can't just temporarily fade into nonexistence when I get home from work? Ugh. Lame.

So my sister and I just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time, and uh.
Wow.

Yep. Multiple times throughout we were saying, "This is a kid's show, right?"
I should also mention that Uncle Iroh is the best. Hands down.
