[23.4ド (イチリ)] 堕天計画　もう一人の守護者編

I accidentally read the book after this one first([23.4ド (イチリ)] 堕天計画　癒しの聖女編), but since I decided to use her dakimakura cover, I should read her book! (now apply this logic to the visual novel character / blue archive character dakimakuras you have you dunce). イチリ is also drawing a dakimakura of that character (シスターミリル) for the next 俺の嫁 event, so I’m excited to get add her to the collection as well!

I slept at about 21:30 last night but woke up at 01:30, which was a little bit too early. Then I got excited with the ending of that game and went back to sleep at about 03:30, with the hope to wake up at 06:00. But I was too sleepy now since I fucked up my cycle and snoozed to wake up at 07:00 instead. What a disaster!

there’s like, actually nothing witty I could say about this. sorry, I tried for like 7 seconds

I forgot to mention I caught up with my decks on Sunday, so now I can go back to failing vocabulary reading quizzes to add new words again. Maybe I should stick to additional N2 words though instead of N1 since that is the exam to take at year end. Hooray

Lunch. Let’s eat less carbs. I’m on team fats (haha fat ass)

Today’s walk. Let’s also walk more! Apparently walking burns up to 350 calories per hour at my weight, so let’s take advantage of it! I actually got the scale to trend down a bit after being stuck at 230 exactly, so we are back on track. I came up with an idea where I could take a picture of everything I eat. If I have to frame it as ‘oh I have to actually put what I eat on here’ then maybe I’ll have to make less boneheaded eating decisions.

M3-57 just hit… time to download 同人音楽 I’ll never listen to. Currently eyeing Diverse System — AD：PIANO X being good. Random thought on my mind for audio… I actually like my $1k IEMs more than my ~$400 IEMs… amazing thought… wow… Just don’t ask me to blind A/B the two, I probably couldn’t tell a difference. I can admit it.

Anyway, getting good sleep is important for fat loss, so going to bed is of utmost importance in that quest! Which also means I get to go read my book and hug my dakimakura sooner! pce

[毛玉牛乳 (玉之けだま)] 全部君のせいだ。Ⅳ

And this concludes the “I would be sad if I died without reading this book” picks. I do think #3 was way better (one of the best of all time, actually), so it’s hard for this to compare to it, but it was alright. 玉之けだまhasn’t put out a new book for at least a year now… Guess she is too busy doing illustrations and making big bucks now! tfw a victim of your own success (see also: henreader)

Well, we did everything right this morning by not goofing off for too long, lifting, and taking a walk, and getting thoroughly clapped in tile game. Time to actually work from home. Let’s do our best!

Got a few shits done, took my walk, put some figgie boxes away. productive!

does she still count as a witch like this?

Since her cloak protrudes out from practically anywhere I can put it, so it’s a risk if I accidentally knock her over. Not that I haven’t knocked any other figgies over yet… haha…

this shit is a lot cheaper in the real 日本

Kura for lunch and weekly Costco shopping. Since it was still early by the time we got back I got a few new clears in IIDX, but still struggling on re-attempting some previous fails. Kind of expected since I haven’t actually played that much. ;_;

gonna finish my anki cards and fuck off. let’s gooooooooooooo

[つくてん (円つくも)] 妃咲キ乱レ

I like this artist for their use of heart pupils! Also, really good taste in characters, too!

Some mahjong this morning and some room cleanup. I organized my read doujinshi but still need to sort out the new arrivals from February and update the onahole location/list. Maybe we’ll tackle that next weekend.

Friend took me to Round 1 today, got a DDR credit in and some IIDX. But we have a new arrival here… Pop’n Music!

konmai

My first credit (eaten) resulted in a crash on song select. I didn’t know you get a free play on first card-in to the game… so I’m out a dollar! I was able to clear a 36 and 2 37s not having played for a very long time and not ever having taken the game seriously, so I’m pleasantly surprised. Could be a good game to add to the rotation since I’m not big on Sega rhythm games. One feature IIDX needs to take from pop’n music is showing what % of the song is in what BPM to make sof-lan songs easier to approach without having to consult a guide on when and by how much to adjust high speed by at breaks. I also did see some kids playing with the big POP buttons, so it seems to be a cute way to get someone into the game.

Unfortunately some stinky hobo was walking around during a few credits… I had to try to focus hard on the game by pressing buttons harder to not get distracted by his scent. ):

going to need to practice coming up with witty lines for… plates of food. level 1 at it I guess

For dinner, a chicken sammich and a bowl of chili. The temperature difference was quite odd with the chicken being hot off the grill but the lettuce and tomato being cold from the refrigerator, so I had to let it sit to allow the two to somewhat… get closer in temperature. Not ideal!

good night sleep tight

[夕鍋進行中 (田辺京)] 好色の忠義くノ一ぼたん参

They released a tankoubon for the first two books in the series last year to promote the anime… but the series isn’t even over yet, so now they have to release a 2nd tankoubon fully compiling the series once it’s done. Good job idiots

so flat

Shigure finally arrived! It’s almost been a year since I ordered this through Kappa-Hobby. Don’t order from them since they ship by boat… I had to do it at the time since Amiami banned my account and I lost all my pre-orders, and now I could have just bought it from Amiami for less than retail. ;_;

I figured I need further demoralization so it’s time to get my ass kicked at that the parlor. Let’s do our best

Well I got owned again 0/1/1/2. First three games had someone run away with big tsumos, the last I ended up feeding 1st trying to push for 1st myself. I’m also way more willing to fold IRL vs when I play online, maybe I have a little more respect for people if they’re in front of me vs some cute anime girl avatar online. Though that doesn’t apply to playing on 天鳳, technically…? I’ll get a 1st soon…

I drew from the wrong wall twice and need to stop tossing sticks on the table and place them gently on the table. Also, there’s a few people who sigh and groan every few discards. I like to pretend I have myself together when I’m deep in 4th :^)

I do think about if paying money to lose in person is worth it when I can lose for free online, but I think the experience and practice is worth it. After all, not everyone in the world can pull up to an autotable with three other jongers, so I should be thankful and take advantage!

good night sleep tight

[とっとこSたろう (MだSたろう)] ダヴィンチちゃん★コード

I have like this weird curiosity where I wonder if MだSたろうwould still be popular if he would be popular today if he didn’t start off drawing Black Rock Shooter doujins. On the other hand, that was an obscure series to draw doujins to begin with, so perhaps one could say he was successful in spite of that?

Maybe about 1.5 months ago I found a flock of wild turkeys while taking a walk. I wonder if it’s the same bunch. hobo ass motherfuckers

what the fuck to these guys gobble anyway

Americans eat them for ceremonial purposes during Thanksgiving, but they are an uncommon meat choice in some places. I think their white meat is a little bland and dry, but I suppose that’s true for all white meat. I think the theory my brother and I subscribe to is some lore from Yakitate Japan where Asian folks produce less saliva than white folks, so their preference is to have their food be slightly more moist than other culture’s food. You’ll see this most with Asian bakeries that tend to have really moist breads, compared to something like say, French baguettes that are literal cardboard. Apparently people just raw dog pick apart a baguette and eat it, which is an insane idea to me.

I did some work today “at home” but not too much. I cleaned up my room and did the laundry. I should organize my doujins and onaholes tomorrow. Maybe even catalog my dakimakuras, but that could be an onerous task…

on the contrary, one would be normally extremely excited for this in a tournament setting

Did have this game earlier today where I absolutely toasted everyone, but about after the point where I crossed ~50k points it didn’t seem fun or interesting at that point. It felt like… it’s too good to be true or I’m just lucky at this point, so it doesn’t seem real. Where’s the struggle? the bitching and moaning when I deal in post riichi? This isn’t what mahjong is supposed to be about… It’s about pain and suffering. Maybe I’m actually a masochist or something.

now this is exciting

Well, the saying goes, you don’t know how good you have it until you don’t have it anymore. Perhaps this is true for 4th place streaks in Mahjong! Maybe I should learn to be grateful for the opportunity to play (which actually means being grateful for the chance to finish in 4th. haha what a joke).

good evening. we will return to オカズ posting soon

making some progress on this front..

Some black folk shoved me on the train this morning but I didn’t care enough to fight back cause I was working on my anki cards to think about it. I figured it’s not worth getting shanked over something trivial since I objectively know my life is better/more important than his. But is that projecting my insecurities if I have to pretend I’m better than him to convince myself conflict isn’t worth it? I went on with my day and didn’t think too much of it, but it came up again since I thought about the day’s events.

Took a nice walk today. Here is a view of a bridge:

unfortunately, that boat is not nice

We had a happy hour out after work. I didn’t really talk though and just had some food and drink and left. Though my team already knows I’m kinda quiet and perhaps a little autistic… maybe I’m a loser for not wanting to socialize? By who? Maybe if I could talk about my real interests I could be more chatty… haha…

wondered if these fried pickles are from sysco

I was taking out the trash and I like to wonder what people looking into my room think. It’s slightly more blurry than what it looks like IRL.

is this nsfw?

stable rank expert 3

Been a little down in tile game since my 4th rate is so high. But if we don’t keep playing we won’t get better… but if we keep losing we’ll end up wasting more time on sunk costs… ;_; I guess the beatings will continue until morale improves. but even if I do de-rank… who actually cares? you? me? hmm…

how the hell is anyone going to tell how big she is if you didn’t put anything to reference for scale

She’s too big!!! gonna have to rearrange everything to fit her somewhere…

Idk not much else to say besides the fact that I didn’t really wanna work today, so I got to practice the inventory concept of LIFO today at work! It means Last In First Out… so when you sell an item or unit, you use the most recently added unit as your cost of goods sold. In this case… it means I’m the last one in and the first one out! Hooray good night gonna finish the kisaki book tonight

[DOGYEAR (九条だんぼ)] 籠鳥の遠き慮りを溶かして

Is this picture safe for work? I would lean yes… but contextually… it’s not… Also, the books is like 140 pages long or something so it might last another day or two.

It was raining today and one of my umbrella arms snapped. It still kinda works but there’s like a dimple in one side of it. lol

チラシ but heavily price inflated

Senior Manager from east coast visited the office today, so we get to dine on the company dime. Hooray

thank you jc denton

Some of the higher ups in the office have been egging me on to pursue a Master’s in Taxation. There are some benefits in doing so for my career, but I’m probably overestimating a little bit… but if I can do it, why not? Especially since that would also be on the company dime I kinda wanna… but if I can’t handle myself with just the job alone, how am I gonna do school and work at the same time? So I’m thinking if I can prove to myself I can behave from now through June I’ll try going for it…

I missed the bus home today, so I walked 3.5 miles from the station home in the rain. Hooray

I was thinking I could use the おまけ本s but they’re individually kind of short. Mutsuki-bros…

log 04-20-26

I woke up early and got absolutely btfo’d on Riichi Shitty and upset and went back to sleep. Game is shit, I should give it up!

I finally got my first day of 0 hours worked! I spent most of the day on just playing Pragmata. I’m nearing the end of the first run and we’ll see if the end-game stuff is any good. I can’t seem to play too much at a single time… maybe my attention span is bad.

Gave blood today. Their water dispenser was out of water but luckily I don’t have an aversion to drinking tap water.

Some pho nearby. It’s alright.

Finally found these bad boys at Costco and picked up 4 jars. It’s like crack in a jar. I first ate them while watching an F1 race maybe 2 or so years ago… so I associate them with fast cars in my mind somehow. Surprisingly, my father hates olives of all sorts, so I guess I didn’t pick up the olive hating genes.

I should learn to not turn on my pc or look at my phone first thing I wake up in the morning. Well, first thing we can fail at tomorrow. Let’s fucking goooooooooooooooooo

[トーティシェル (きんく)] お仕置きのお時間です

Kinku is so good!!! Too bad he doesn’t draw as many books anymore.

This morning I played some autotable and got 2 1sts! Then I thought that was cool. Let’s go to the local mahjong club and shake off the rust! It’s been probably at least two years since I played there… and I got cooked 0/1/2/2. lol. Need to work on a few things like maintaining consistent discards in riichi/damaten to not give tells off. I had good dama mangans but missed a few of them… Maybe if I called riichi I could get others to stop making big hands? I did deal in to two big ones (one post riichi and one where I ran out of safe tiles) so I have a lot of improvements ot make aon all fronts. Hooray

lobster in boiling pot.jpg

Pour one out for my homie but I’m happy for you making it this far!!!

Time for bed to get the bread early tomorrow. good night
