What happened today? I went back to work. It was fine. And Headache still ruined my day despite the fact that she’s off for the rest of the week. She is such a waste of space. I cannot stand her. 

Anyway, my hun and I were able to hang out today, which was nice. We haven’t been able to. We watched a couple of episodes of given. And an episode of the Great British Baking Show. I mean, I have nothing much to say about the episodes we watched of given. I love each episode of that anime. So did I enjoy them? Yes. And I like seeing my hun’s reactions to that anime.

For the Great British Baking Show, we watched Japanese Week. And yeah, I mean I remember the show getting backlash on this episode. And I saw why. The signature challenge was to make some steamed buns, which are of Chinese origin. The technical challenge was to make matcha Mille crepe cake. This was very French to me, to be honest. But fair enough. And for the showstopper, the bakers were asked to make a “kawaii” cake. Which of course is not a thing. They basically asked the bakers to make a cake and decorate it with a cute character. I think the major backlash was the fact that they could have focused on actual Japanese bakes. I guess this missed a mark here. Putting the criticisms aside, we enjoyed the episode.

I didn’t get to read today, I was catching up with work. I was gone for two days and my emails were out of control. Ridiculous. Planning on reading a bit before going to sleep. I did read Tomie by Junji Ito. And oh boy, that manga is…something. I had to stop reading because Tomie’s face is ingrained in my brain and I don’t want her face showing up in my dreams, which can definitely happen knowing how my imagination works. Tonight I will try to read Darling Girl.
