So I have been struggling with my PMS today. My head was hurting the whole day, my low back pain was a bitch, and of course, I was irritable. I managed to survive work. But it was a struggle for sure.

I got home, thinking I would just be lying in bed and pass out. But I decided against it. I wanted to hang out with my man. I mean, we were only able to spend some time together on Tuesday this week, which was not acceptable in my book.

We ended up watching a couple of episodes of The Case Study of Vanitas and three episodes of Haikyu!!

The Case Study of Vanitas. I do not know what it is about this anime, but I am struggling to be engaged with it. I mean Vanitas and Noe are good enough for sure and their dynamic is pretty interesting. I mean they are not friends whatsoever and they have a level of dislike for each other so I want to see the progression of their relationship as they work together. But the story is just so slow for me, at least at the moment. We are eight episodes in and I feel like there is nothing happening. For lack of a better word, the anime seems fluffy. Or there’s too much fluff that I do not really need. I mean this is a vampire anime, so I have expectations coming into it. There were some dark parts, which I liked, but there was just not enough going on right now. I would be really pissed if all the freaking story and action and all that stuff will be revealed in the last six episodes or something. The artwork is really good, the animation is really great, but damn, the story is dragging for me. Now, if they can just hit me with darkness and maybe little fight sequences here and there, I would be happy.

Haikyu!! Now, I am enjoying this anime a lot. The two main characters are great. Two different ends of the spectrum when it comes to attitude and volleyball experience, but I find myself cheering for them with their little successes. It’s character development in practically every episode. And I love that. I was laughing, I was cheering, I was clapping. I was engaged from the beginning. I find myself looking forward to how Hinata and Kageyama would overcome their difference to be an unstoppable duo in their volleyball team.

I also got to set up my reading spreadsheet tonight. Just a simple reading tracker in excel that can track whatever I want. I might want to use Notion for this too, but I just need to visualize it first before I consider creating a database for all my reading stuff. We shall see. Sounds like a big undertaking.
