2023 seemed like a tumultuous year for the world. You've got wars, strikes, and poorly performing box office, and while it's technically 2024, Japan rang in the new year with an earthquake and tsunami. Hopefully, it's not a sign of things to come. While I have yet to look back yet, I think 2023 was a pretty decent year for me with maybe only a ( Read more... )

Sugar Ray was one of my favorite bands when I was a preteen. That's why when I heard a few months ago that they were going to be performing at my town, I just knew I had to go see them. The lake in my town holds a summer concert series every year and they were first on the list. The concert was last night ( Read more... )

So, Phil got married. He had never been married before and he's in his 60s. I decided to go to the wedding, mostly because my brother was going too. The wedding was last night. I had a lot of anticipatory stress about it and it was actually quite stressful for me. It was a lot of people and people I don't know well and a lot of noise too. My ( Read more... )

So, Christmas. Things were ruined yet again, but this time more for me than the others. I thought I was going to dodge it. It appeared to be going that way, but unfortunately I had to get Covid too late. I started having this tickle in my throat all day. I think that was on the 18th, if it wasn't the day before. But the night of the 18th I had gunk ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm back again. I finished The Lion's Song. The game is basically like a snapshot of history in Vienna on the brink of World War I. You're following three different characters, from a composer trying to create the perfect melody, to painter trying to find out what's missing from his paintings, and a female mathematician trying to make it in a ( Read more... )

So, I'm late in sharing this update since I kept forgetting. I remember now though so, here it is. I was heartbroken over the deaths of David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Both fantastic entertainers. I'm a fan of both. David Bowie was like the soundtrack of my life and that was tough news to swallow. I wasn't hurt as hard by Alan Rickman's death and I ( Read more... )

Each year on the 25th of June, I remember it as the day of Michael Jackson's passing. I make it a Michael Jackson day on that day (also on his birthday as well) where I just listen to his music and watch videos of him all day. I'll never forget the impact and inspiration he left on my life. Today I'm planning to watch some of his concerts. But here ( Read more... )

Been playing The Silver Lining: Episode 4, which has a super long title that I won't bother to write. I'll probably do a gameplay video soon ( Read more... )

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the day we lost the greatest entertainer and humanitarian the world has ever known, Michael Jackson. It's hard to believe it's already been two years. Since I've reached out to the fan community online, I have found people whom I consider to be friends, and I'm very grateful about that. For this tribute I wanted ( Read more... )

Got through my first couple of days at my new job. Finding it good so far. I do some of the same stuff I was doing at ABM, like data entry, filing and making labels. Only thing is I find myself waiting a lot for Amber, whom I work for. When she gives me a task and I finish it, I go to her and she'll tell me she'll find something else for me to do ( Read more... )
