I truly believed that going to work on Black Friday was a waste of time. Time and time again I was proven correct. And today was no exception. I was bored the whole day. Not just me. The lab was slow since there were barely any specimens, no orders were getting placed electronically for us to check, no one was sending requisitions via fax or email. WE WERE BORED. Again, I will continue to believe this – working on Black Friday should not be a thing.

The whole day I was browsing the internet aimlessly. I was playing water connect and was on tiktok for hours. I even set up some yearly trackers for my 2023 reading journal. I was definitely on defense making one but I gave in. I do miss doing bullet journaling but I gave that up and went digital just because the system has not worked out for me. It got a bit tedious but I do miss having to create spreads, so I hope that having a reading journal helps with that. I mean I am not planning on creating calendars every month, it will really only be a journal. At least in my head, I don’t plan on overdoing it. 

My hun and I watched a couple of episodes of Sasaki and Miyano. I teased my hun that he likes this anime. I mean I think I might’ve said “be honest, you’re loving this anime”. Of course, he denies it. But I know the truth. Well, I think he appreciates the character development. And every episode shows character growth for both Sasaki and Miyano. And I personally love it. I mean of course on top of the ever-anticipated decision from Miyano. 

We also got to watch a couple of episodes of Angel of Death. Episode three was about Edward Mason. That kid creeped me out. I was never a fan of kids whispering and laughing and all that – reminds me too much of the AI in Resident Evil. We also watched episode four where Cathy Ward was introduced. And this was when my anxiety hit. I was getting very antsy. It was a bit of a torture floor so it was understandable that I was getting a bit triggered. Oh just for context, every floor has a killer, and the floors were set up ala escape room, but you know just with deadly consequences. So far so good. But I do need to get a move on from the Cathy floor. 

We also watched a couple of episodes of Cowboy Bebop. We finally got to a Jet backstory. And we found ourselves at a mercy of some kind of weird slime in Bebop because Spike forgot some kind of lobster he stored in the back fridge for a year. I say it again and again, I love characters who have some kind of character development, but I also appreciate a character that has layers. Cowboy Bebop characters have layers. And that is the tragedy of the Bebop crew. They were in some way or another living to get closure from their past. And I think that’s beautiful.

I am rewatching Yuri on Ice. Because I just really love this anime. I just loved Yuri’s journey, and how he perfected his routine throughout the anime. And in line with that, I cannot forget the blossoming relationship between Yuri and Viktor. I mean, it all started with Viktor being his coach, getting engaged, to skating together at the end. I mean chef’s kiss. The fact that the romance was not the main plot and was pretty much in the background, it was still pretty well done. It was still able to show throughout the whole anime. I mean seriously, what’s not to love?
