So let me see? What has been happening the last few days? My hun and I really were not able to hang out. He was having some connection issues. That was fine. I was definitely feeling a bit antisocial lately. And for good reason. I have been feeling very so-so lately. I really did not want to deal with other people.

Regardless – I was able to squeeze in some watch times with Chris.

Shiriusu (Sirius the Jaeger). The story revolves around a young man named Yuliy and his journey to seek revenge against vampires who destroyed his home village. He joined a group called the Jaegers – basically a vampire hunter group. This is the first anime I watched that was not based on any manga, which was surprising. Chris and I did enjoy the anime. I mean, it has action sequences, it was about vampires and werewolves, it has mystery, and some sibling conflict. What’s not to like? My love said that there was something missing, I didn’t think so. I feel like the story was pretty solid and it was executed well. I really appreciated the fact that there was no love trope. It was very refreshing. I thought there was when they introduced Ryoko. I was pissed at the beginning because it was not needed. But alas, the anime surprised me! Anyway, I loved the back story of the Sirius, and the need to protect something that was called “The Ark of Sirius”. I appreciated the relationship between the brothers Mikhail and Yuliy. The last fight was poetic. The anime was good.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022). 29 years after the first one came out, the sequel was finally here. It was enjoyable. And familiar. I loved the fact that it took this long to release a sequel. I appreciated the reaction of the Sanderson sisters’ first trip to Walgreens and their encounter with the roomba. That was a riot. The story was still a classic. We enjoyed it. Let’s just say that it was a good sendoff for the Sanderson Sisters.

Lou (2022). Well, what did we decide to top off our marathon? A thriller. This movie started with a kid being kidnapped during a powerful storm. The mother and their neighbor teamed up to pursue the kidnapper. I cannot disclose a lot since this is a thriller, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was the relationships in the movie. The twists were good as well. The movie was definitely a good watch. Why did we even watch this? Chris and I were watching some trailers and I was exclaimed “That’s Bren!” And that was the beginning of it. No regrets in picking this movie up. Story was solid, the acting was phenomenal. It was good ride!

My hun and I did hangout for a few hours today. We watched an episode of The Great British Baking Show, we started a couple of animes – Dorohedoro and finally given. Both my hun’s recommendations. I was surprised when he said given, to be honest. I mean, I wanted to watch it with him but I honestly was not pushing for it too much. But he suggested it! And I was so happy.

The Great British Baking Show. Pastry week. Mark L. had a rough showstopper. His cage broke so he presented his pastry tart without the cage. Peter was still awesome. Linda went home for this week. She presented samosas instead of pasties. She did not present eclairs for the technical, making her the bottom of the group. And like Mark L., her cage broke.

Dorohedoro. Not going to lie, the premise was interesting. And the plot definitely was intriguing. However, the anime was very violent for liking. I will continue watching it with my hun though. With the stipulation that, I would need a break every episode. Just because of the violence in it.

given. Well, I really loved this anime. Reason why I was so happy and excited when my hun suggested it. I mean granted he just suggested it because we have not been able to hangout recently. But that is okay. He loves the intro. Because what is not to love about that intro. He appreciated the fact that the main characters were introduced in the first episode and the BL was not forced down his throat. He did laugh during the interaction between Haruki and Akihiko. And I laugh at him and counter, you would not be laughing if Haruki’s internal monologue was directed towards a female character. But it seems like he is enjoying the anime currently. And that is really all I could ask for. I mean I would not even suggest it to him if the BL was front and center.

We have plans of hanging out again tomorrow. But we shall see, I think his internet is down again. I did listen to some lectures on Udemy today. Planning again on doing it before work tomorrow. We shall see though. I was having some anxiety and some laziness all weekend. Very unmotivated. I was glad that my hun and I were able to at least squeeze in time today. Kept my mind from getting lost in thought and the struggle I have when I know I have to go to work again.
