So I’ve been back at work for a couple of days, and did realize? I didn’t want to be there anymore. I want to leave now. I set a deadline for myself. Wait for this huge project that I am a part of to go live in production then I can look seriously for another job. But now that they kept on pushing the live date later and later, I am just tempted to leave and not look back. I mean at this point, I just really need to think of myself. I don’t really care about the job anymore.

I’ve been really neglecting posting. This was supposed a daily log and I’ve been posting weekly at the most. It’s been really difficult for me. Let’s just say that I’ve been having some difficulty getting the motivation to get things done. Yeah. Rough.

Let me see, the last time I posted was Thursday. What happened since then?

I went to a karaoke on Friday. I had fun. I haven’t done that in a while. A long while. So that was a welcomed break. But since they decided to do it a little bit later than we normally do happy hour, Chris and I decided to kill time in the International District. We had some poke for dinner and went to Japanese bookstore. We were there for a few hours. Got lost in the ailes for pens and notebooks, and mangas. I spent quite a few $$ because you know, I have no discipline when it comes to books. But I had fun so I am not complaining too much.

Saturday was chore day. This is what it really means to be an adult. Go to work five days a week, and weekends are spent catching up on chores. I did laundry, cooked, and washed dishes. My hun and I didn’t get to hang out, he wasn’t feeling well and I was sporting a headache the whole day. I think it was hangover for having only two beers the night before. But my hun said it could be a combo of beig sleep deprived and lack of food. I still think that it was because of hangover.

Today, let me see. I had to ran errands. Why? Because again, being an adult sucks. Did some groceries, got a car wash, went to the pet store to grab some treats and a new bed for my 18 yr old dog, and then went to Costco. Washed dishes again today, and threw away the trash.

I did get to hang out with my love which was nice and always welcome. Keeps me out of my head for a little bit. What did we do? Of course, video chatted and watched some episodes of The Great British Baking Show, we finally decided to continue with The Dropout, watched an episode of Ugly Americans, and watched a live action movie of Bleach (2018).

The Great British Baking Show (Season 11 or Collection 8). We watched three episodes today. First episode – Cake Week. We got introduced to a new set of bakers during the first year of the pandemic. There some bakers that we liked off the bat. We both like Peter. He said that he is more accustomed to baking gluten-free bakes compared to regular ones because of his brother who is gluten-intolerant. I instantly like Mark L. HIs laugh is just contagious. I instantly did not like Sura. I just did not the carelessness resulting to Dan’s bake for the technical round to fall on the ground. Like seriously. Peter got the Star Baker for this week. Second episode – Biscuits Week. Still enjoyed Peter’s bakes. I am personally rooting for him to win. Dave – the soon to be dad – did really well during this week. He won Star Baker. Still on defense on him though. I might end up liking him in the later episodes. We were kind of surprised that Rowan was not eliminated during this second episode. Third week – Bread Week, Paul’s favorite week. Peter struggled and so did Dan. Star Baker curse? Mark L and Marc E did well for this week. But there was no surprise that Marc E got Star Baker. He excelled with his bread bakes. I also started liking Hermine on this episode. The wing-it attitude was so refreshing. Rowan went home, not surprised. He struggled the first two episodes too. 

The Dropout. My hun finally decided that it was time to pick up again. We watched two episodes (episodes 5 and 6). This show just annoys the heck out of me. Not because the show sucked but because of what happened with Theranos. Fraud all the way through. I did not like the Mark, the Lab Director, was portrayed. I read Bad Blood and I felt like the book was bit better on how he was described and how he acted. Sure he ended up as a sort of source on both mediums but I did not like how the show just showed him as just a follower. Turning the blind eye to pretty much what was happening. We also got introduced to the two whistle blowers – Tyler Schultz and Erika Cheung. And of course John Carreyrou. I mean I was also not happy with how Tyler Schultz’s character was portrayed. I felt like the book showed having a bit more balls than the show did. But I mean, maybe that was how it really happened. He has a bit more of a blind adoration going on on the show. But again who knows what really happened before he became a whistleblower. The death of Ian Gibbons brought tears to my eyes. Why? Because of how he got fucked by this company. My hun and I have two episodes left on this mini-series. 

Ugly Americans. This is a cartoon from Comedy Central. And it was weird. I mean, it was definitely interesting. I would be down to continue with it. My hun was laughing at my facial expressions. Let me see if I can make a concise description of what the show is based on the first episode. Hmmm…The animated was about a social worker, Mark Lilly, based in an alternative New York City – a city inhabited by monsters and the other variety of creatures and characters. For example, Mark’s roommate is a zombie, he is dating his boss – who I think is a devil, well she has horns anyway and has devilish voice at times, he also works with newly migrated “people” – like a brain with the brainstem and spine (yes, just a brain that makes squishy sounds). You get the idea.

Bleach (2018). A live action film adaptation of one of my favorite anime. My hun wanted to watch it so he recommended for us to try it. He enjoyed the movie. He said he would give it a 6 rating. But did I think about it? It was a really decent adaptation. I appreciated the fact that it did not stray too much from the anime. Of course, there were some creative liberties taken but that was understandable. It was a movie afterall. The CGI for the three hollows were good. I liked Ishida’s bow. I had some issues though. I mean, I really think that they could’ve worked more on the costume. It translated as a cheap cosplay costume – especially Kuchiki Byakuya’s costume. At least for me. I couldn’t get over of how short Abarai Renji was in the movie. Don’t even get me started with Chad. I still enjoyed it enough, and I understand that film adaptations of anime will never truly capture the full essence of the anime. I am glad that my hun suggested this but I think this is where a draw a line on live action anime adaptations. 

Anyway, going to end it here. I want to read a bit before sleeping. I started reading one of mangas that I got on Friday, Fangs. I started reading this yesterday but I want to ration it for myself. Mangas are not cheap! So I want to read an episode tonight or maybe just finish volume one. And then pick up given.
