First off – Happy Thanksgiving. What did I do? First, I changed my sheets and washed the old ones. Then cooked me some breakfast – hashbrown patties with corned beef topped with sriracha and Japanese mayo. Yeah, that was a pretty awesome breakfast. To an untrained eye, it might look and sound disgusting but yum. For dinner, I had some medium rare steaks, mashed potatoes with gravy, and some cornbread stuffing. Add a glass of whiskey with ginger ale, and let’s just say it was a bomb-ass dinner. I also got to video chat with family tonight, which was good and I feel like it was much needed.

Chris and I finished SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist. So what do I honestly think about this anime? I consider this as a sort of dystopian world. Why? Let’s just say that it is set in a world where not just dirty jokes were banned but everything that pertains to human sexuality. Now, this is not the best anime ever about censorship, but it managed to make the subject matter funny and lighthearted. There were some laughs there, some unexpected moments, and also some legit uncomfortable moments. Did I think it was ridiculous? Some parts of it, sure. But it makes you think about what could happen if this really does occur in real life. I mean a lot of people now are ignorant as it is. So thinking that this can happen in the future – yuck.

We also started watching Wednesday. I love how deadpan this character is. And I cannot complain. We watched two episodes and so far, so good. I think it was really on point as to what I was expecting of a Tim Burton series. It’s dark, it’s mysterious and funny. Perfect combo. Looking forward to watching more episodes over the weekend.

My hun and I were able to hang out today, which was nice. We finished The Great British Baking Show. We watched a couple of episodes of Sasaki and Miyano, also a couple of episodes of Angels of Death, and we finished with an episode of Cowboy Bebop.

The Great British Baking Show – Episode 10: Finals. The finalists were Syabira, Abdul, and Sandro. The bakers were asked to make a seasonal (summer) picnic for their signature challenge, a summer pudding bomb for technical, and a large planet-themed edible sculpture showstopper. Abdul did great. Syabira was great as well. Sandro fell a little bit with that uncooked pastry on his signature, being last on the technical, and a burnt cake for the showstopper. In the end, Syabira won. I was surprised but I wouldn’t have been mad if Abdul won either. I think out of all the seasons, you can’t really point to a baker on the finals and ask, why the fuck are you in the finals.

Sasaki and Miyano. So good! This anime is such a slow burn that any progress on these boys’ relationship is so satisfying. Sasaki holding back his feelings so as to not scare Miyano away. Miyano being confused as to what he feels for Sasaki really is. The struggle is just so palpable through the screen and all we can do is wait in anticipation. Yes, I still have the same reactions to each scene regardless of how many times I have watched this anime in the last month or so. I am not lying when I say that this is one of the best anime I watched this year.

Angel of Death. My hun suggested this anime after watching the fluffy romance anime that is Sasaki and Miyano. And I could not stop laughing. I was teasing him just because he suggested an anime that has blood and gore after watching a romance. Anyway, the first episode was definitely intense. There were some jump scares that made me scream. But I think the premise is very interesting, and I am liking Zack right now. The anime definitely has some creepy vibes but I think after the two episodes that we watched, I want to continue watching the rest of the episodes.

Cowboy Bebop. Ah, the episode where Radical Edward was introduced. Ed is one of my fave in the series. I think she is such an oddball and her randomness is so adorable. I should really make a post regarding this anime. I am thinking about it.

I’m back to work tomorrow. That’s just how cruel the world is.
