Trying To Focus On The Music {Week #34}

Productive Monday. Put all the finishing touches on the commission I'm working on, Tuesday I'm gonna fix whatever is left over and finally send it off. Otherwise I've been watching the Bad Batch, well, re-started it. I watched it when it first came out and then kind of never caught up again. Apparently it's been finished since last year! It's fucking awesome. So far I love everyone but Hunter is my fave.

We have a new pastime that's so stupid. We stumbled on YouTube quiz videos about video games and movies and somehow got caught up and did them for like 2 hours. Man, I wouldn't even be good on a quiz show but I'd love to go anyway...

On Tuesday the commission was finally done. I can't reveal what it looks like yet as it's for an upcoming project! Excited. I wasn't sure if I actually made something worthwhile until I heard back from the client and she said she liked it a lot and I instantly felt so much relief. 

Wednesday was the actual due date but because I sent it out early I didn't need to worry. Felt good to be ahead (barely) of schedule for once. However, new problems always find a way. My mum went to the market to buy fruit and vegetables as usual and when she got back she was relaxing, no worries or nothing. My brother got ready to meet up with some friends and he needed a little money so my mum checked if she had any cash for him. But she couldn't find her wallet.

We searched the entire house. Not there. Problem is my mum has a tendency to forget her wallet or card...often. She left her wallet at the bakery once, she was lucky the guys who own the shop know us and kept it safe. Another time she left her card in the ATM and we were again lucky that the guy who found it returned it to the bank instead of pocketing it. Anyway, we run up and down the market but we can't find it. My mum is hyperventilating and crying already (none of us take stress well despite being stressed 24/7). We probably looked like a whole ass clown show to all the market goers. My brother has to leave because the friends came by to pick him up already. Anyway, after another search at home I run out to look for my mum, she went to the bank to freeze the card because my first thought was she set the wallet down when she took her coins out and she just left it there. Then someone grabbed it. 

A police cruiser parks and an officer steps out and talks to a vendor, I hear the vendor explain that a lady lost her wallet and that she saw some other lady grab a black wallet from nearby. I catch up with the officer and we get to my mum. He was very polite, unlike the other cops in our town who are literally rude off the get go. He says we have to go to the gendarmerie that's further out of town and make a report and they'll check the cameras. He's making some calls and I call Monique to see if she can drive us there. However, in like a minute, he tells me someone has brought the wallet to the precinct and that we can just go pick it up. My mum instantly relaxes, we thank the guy and run over there.

A nice receptionist has us confirm what was inside the wallet. Card, ID, family pics, etc. And 40 euros. She checks and there's only 20. So we guess the lady that brought it in probably helped herself to a 20. Honestly, I ain't even mad. She may have needed it and she kept the ID/insurance card safe so we'll just take it as a service fee. But it cracks me up. Like, taking the whole 40 is a little much, but a 20 is fair. We're still lucky I guess, that's a three for three.

On Thursday my period started so I was annoyed and refilling my water-bag thingy every hour. I cleaned my room up a bit. Tom came over at 8 to watch Bring It On because he had never seen it! He and I agree that Missy probably wanted to get with Torrance but the year was 2000... Also talk about a cast of gorgeous gals! Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, Kristen Dunst... wow...

I woke up pretty early on Friday and the first thing I did was grab my phone and start it on the new Deftones album, Private Music. Oh, man. I wish I could just rave about the songs. I wish I could focus on the music. I actually can't say anything about the album as of now, I listened to it only once and was left with such a bitter taste I couldn't even process the songs at all. It started with the first second of Locked Club... not sonically, visually. Each song comes with a visualizer. Almost all of them are kind of mediocre if not bad, they're all very disjointed and distracting. But worst thing is... so many of them have AI. Seriously, Deftones?! It tainted the sound of the entire album for me. Literally I didn't even hear the music because I was so busy thinking about how shit the entire visual palette of the album was and how lazy and gross it was that they have this AI bullshit. If you're someone who's gonna tell me to just worry about the music, Deftones are a band not filmographers, or that it's just visualizers, blah blah blah... no. Gen AI is just trash, keep it out of art. 

I want to make a proper review about this for Stacks, Lennon's zine about music, you should check it out, it's very cool. I'll later post it to the video club blog as well. But yeah, I'm waiting for my CD that should arrive on the 26th. I'm gonna pop it in, get properly immersed in the music and never touch their shit on YouTube ever again. So fucking disappointing. 

Saturday was alright, I did some shopping and caught up a bit with Blaugust. I have to post every day to make it to 15 posts this time around. I want that silver award bad. Also I'm just excited to start using my new planner after next week, which will be the last week of August!

My DVDs, her throne. ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

 

Eepy.. /ᐠ - ˕ -マ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁

Sunday was pretty uneventful, my period finally ended. I was organizing my desktop, it's a huge mess again. Also did some drawing just for myself. September will probably be very busy, I'll start working soon I hope and classes should be on again. I've been pretty mired in projects this week, kind of neglected some other important things, but that's what next week's for, eh?

Breakfast my mum made me! (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )づ♡

This Week I'm Excited For...

As mad as I was about the digital release of Private Music, I'm still excited for the CD. I hope I can forget all that bullshit by the time it gets to me and I can just enjoy it. Everyone's saying it's the best thing since Diamond Eyes but I'm gonna need more time to see about that. Plus, I doubt it, because Koi No Yokan is literally their best.

Image Of The Week...

Another flickr find. Such a nostalgic and cute set up. This kind of nostalgia still gets to me.

Song Of The Week...

Yeah, it's not a Deftones song... even if it is the week the album came out. I can't, I feel too raw. Instead I listened to an incredible album over and over all week, but especially during the weekend. There's nearly no bad tracks, and I almost feel like I can't pick a favourite but something in Collapse is just calling to me right now. So, Collapse by Sparta. 

My New Room! {2025 Week #33}

Hey everyone, how are ya? I've had a pretty busy week that's been basically the worst because of how hot it was for days on end. Mind numbing heat. I couldn't think, couldn't work, lying down was even a pain. I can't wait for cool weather but it may only be truly cool here in October. Why?!?!

Nothing much happened on Monday, I played some Dead By Deadlight with Tom. It was fun but I had the fan literally glued to my face and still it was basically blowing hot air and doing nothing. He keeps trying to get me to play Marvel Rivals and I keep saying I'll consider it. I won't.

Look at her little paws. ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Tuesday and Wednesday was even worse, I didn't get any work done because sitting upstairs was literally killing me. Melting. But finally, for the week's most important news:

We had a really busy Thursday. Basically, my sister has been feeling down for a while. She hasn't been loving her room for some time and we decided to change stuff up before the school year starts. So she moved into what was my mum/my room and I would move into her smaller room. Problem is that it kind of left my mum without a room but considering my brother lives in the hallway of the second floor, wack arrangements are kind of a norm in this house. Plus she mostly works downstairs at her desk anyway so it really didn't do much to inconvenience her. Plus I would get my own room! Woohoo! I haven't had my own room in a few years now so you bet your ass I'm happy about it.

But no move is easy so it took us all day to take stuff out, clean, put stuff back, pack stuff away, and so on. Because this was all happening through my brother's hallway-room he was pretty mad. We did get it done but my new room is still a total mess. I'm gonna clean it up by next week and take some good pics. Here's a preview:

There's a secret cat here. ฅ≽(•⩊ •マ≼

Later in the evening we also had a movie night because it was Hisham's last day in town after which he would go back to uni. We invited Tom too so I introduced them and it was a lot of fun. We ended up watching Companion. It's a worse version of Ex-Machina but it was still pretty fun.

In the morning we all found refuge on the first floor as usual and were watching For All Man Kind, we've been watching it since a week or so ago. It's fine. Very, very red scare. But cool space stuff!

It's all about her this week!

A bit after lunch Monique dropped by and offered to take us to swim in her pool. Marta and Yolanta already left to the public pool so we went without them. Her pool was pretty warm but it was still so good to finally be surrounded with water. Taught my brother to do a hand-stand in the water, apparently he didn't know how. Shocking, because it's just cheating at doing a hand-stand. 

We stayed for dinner, Monique made some DIY pizzas and we listened to Etta James because she's got lots of CDs of 60s and 70s musicians. I also met Krevet, a cat of Monique's friend who's visiting. His story is crazy! He was rescued with his mother but the mother had AIDS and passed away. He was tested positive for it to so the vet suggested to put him down but Monique's friend couldn't do it. And he lived! It seems that it was a false positive and even though his mum had it she somehow didn't pass it to him. He's really healthy, happy, and loved and lives in a Parisian apartment usually but spends the summer at Monique's house. Chippie, Monique's cat, is mad about it. Monique also has many strays near her house who are so cute. But the town really needs a program to spay/neuter the strays because there is a lot of them. I know they've got catch and release sterilization programs like that in Europe and they are very human compared to the alternatives.

On Saturday we had a really great day at the lake. Monique drove us there just before lunch but didn't stay herself. It's a lovely lake that's about 25-30 minutes away from our town by car. When we got there it was pretty empty, just a few other swimmers and mostly people resting in the shade. We swum for a while then had some burgers for lunch at the nearby cafe.

Upon arrival. ⛱

Catching Zs. (ᴗ˳ᴗ)ᶻ𝗓𐰁

 After lunch, it got way more crowded.

Reading time. (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

Yolanta, Marta, and my mum. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

My mum. (*´▽`*)❀.

Terrible family pics as usual. ৻(  •̀ ᗜ •́  ৻)

The girls, Marta and Yolanta even went on this wipe-out style course that's in the middle of the lake. It honestly looked really hard if not impossible in some parts. We left at about 5PM, Monique came to pick us up.

Sunday was pretty normal, it was still hot as hell. We fought with the AC but it still didn't work properly so we'll probably stop using it when the heatwave dies down. Here's some pics of Yoshi 'helping' me do work:

This Week I'm Excited For...

You know it, I know it. Private Music by Deftones is going to be out next Friday, I'm literally going nuts. I'm excited as hell!

Image Of The Week...

I've been thinking about bedrooms ever since I've moved into mine. There's plenty of great groups of flickr that show off some very cool decor. This isn't even exactly the kind of bed I'd have for myself but it;s so pretty, especially the divider. Not sure where it's from originally but it can found on this blog.

Song Of The Week...

So this came out late last week but I've been listening to it non-stop this week. Even better than My Mind Is A Mountain and that song kicked ass. I was just a little unsure until 40 seconds into the song when that absolutely insane guitar-drums combo breaks through and doesn't really stop again. So good. Chino sings so beautifully and the chorus is direct and powerful. 10/10.

There's Boats {2025 Week #32}

Pretty crazy start to the week. Early in the morning we left to clean Noel's boat. I haven't had the heart to write about what is going on with him since we found out a couple weeks back. In short, Noel is a really cool guy, he's Monique's friend in his mid 60s and his wife is called Pascal. He basically knows how to do everything. He helped us with the house so much in the beginning, it's crazy, and he didn't charge us anything. First time I met him was about 2 years ago when Monique needed help picking up logs for her fireplace and he drove us to get them. He also helped us install the staircase that goes to our third floor recently. 

Anyway, he got diagnosed with a pretty late stage of cancer in his lungs. The prognosis is terrible, like with Rose, another of Monique's friends. It's the worst fucking thing. Monique herself underwent a number of surgeries to remove a tumor as well and she's been much weaker recently too but she's in the safe zone now. Noel is not and it's been taking a toll on him. 

So the least we could do is go clean his boat up. It's not huge but very cozy and since the day was hot we didn't care that we got splashed a lot. I was on duty hauling buckets of water right out of the canal when I wasn't mopping/scrubbing. Had to lift it over my head once and literally almost drowned myself because I just don't foresee anything ever. Dumbest moment was when my brother threw me these smaller buckets we were using and they went over board. Shit! I tried to catch one with a stick but they landed right at the center of the canal. I look back and my brother's already shirtless for some reason. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing, are you going to jump into the canal? He was going to but that's so dumb so I just told him to wait til it drifts to the shore and we got one back like that but the other one was lost to the waters. RIP. 

I didn't take any pics sadly but we did a pretty good job, it looked much better than when we got there. Monique dropped us off and I thought I'd get more work done but Tom called and we got into a match of Dead by Daylight with my brother and Hisham. Hisham had to write his thesis so he left early and we played a little more but my brother would not stop bitching at the game so eventually it was just me and Tom and I'm not gonna lie I do not get this game but who cares. I did get to play as Heather/Cheryl Mason because my brother has the Silent Hill DLC.

On Tuesday I went to the store to get groceries and such. I looked for a gift for Tom but couldn't find anything cute so I decided to just get him the super cool edition of Mass Effect like my brother suggested. My brother got him Prey and we also dropped by the Noz to get him a birthday card. There was one that said 'Happy Anniversary, Husband' that we almost got but we settled for 'Princess'. I also picked up some cute stickers, crafting paper, and some really great pens (I'll probably be back for more).

The birthday bitch <3

We met up with him at our place in the afternoon and dropped by the supermarket for snacks. After we headed to his house (the batcave!!) and played Mod Nation again but honestly it took everyone like 2 hours to make their Mods and cars so we played like only 5 races, it was fun though so who cares. He was supposed to be out with friends on his b-day and not with us losers but they were busy on that day so he had to settle for us. He also invited my mum later which is hilarious. So we had a dinner all together (with his mum) and talked a lot of shit in a English-French hybrid. Found out he's an Avril girlie too! We have to have an Avril party or something soon.

Cake time (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

Anyway, Tom almost died laughing when my brother tried to say 'I like pizza' but he keeps confusing J'aime (I like/love...) with Je t'aime (I love you). So he keeps saying 'I love you, pizza' all the fucking time and it sounds so dumb, we had a good laugh at that.

End of the party ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰

Shot some more shit, tried to persuade Tom to try some older Assassin's Creed game. Only worked when we revealed that Jacob is shirtless during the fight club segments. Edward was apparently not good enough because he doesn't like blondes (good for him). Then we went home and watched some more of Return of The King but didn't manage to finish it still. Director's cut, damn you!

Still, my favourite scene ever happened: when Eowyn kills the Witch-king. Love that shit. 

Wednesday I literally wasted away... I know, I always complain about wasting time and feeling tired even when I do nothing, I get it! But it's felt especially tedious this week, maybe because the heat's picking back up. I did scan a bunch of old pics so that I'll always have digital copies. Also because my space is becoming a real mess, I have no space to keep anything. I'm scanning a bunch of shit so I have easy access to it without having to unpack a bunch of boxes. 

Otherwise we finished ROTK and now Mo wants to go straight into the Hobbit even though we should have started there. I think the Hobbit films are pretty good but much weaker than the original trilogy. 

Thursday was pretty productive, I finally broke off the ugly ass tiles that were like a baseboard on our first floor. I was sweaty. Tried to work on some projects but I've been feeling so out of my depth, literally everything feels uninspired and dull. Maybe I'm just a shitty creative. Argh.

On Friday I was supposed to go on Noel and Pascal's boat for a small ride down the canal but I got a sudden migraine and I just imagined sitting on a boat for hours, socializing... I thought it would make me more sick. So I mostly napped, when Mo got back we made a pizza and watched Pitch Black. It's no Sunshine or Alien but it's pretty fun. 

Should have been me...

Saturday and Sunday sucked. I tried to get as much work done as possible but it was hot as hell. Literally, my brain just switches off and I can't have a coherent thought if it's hotter than 35. Andrei came over on Sunday to help my mum install the lights in our dining/living room. They look really cool.

That's about it for this week.  

This Week I'm Excited For...

I'm sending a parcel at last that I've been meaning to send for a while, it's just taken ages to get it all together. You know who you are!

Image Of The Week...

I tried to reverse search this one but I couldn't. A cute-ugly GIF of a mystical cloudy/ocean kingdom and a pterodactyl that I found on GIFcities. Old CG is some kind of beautiful to me, especially when it comes to desolate, expansive environments. So haunting.

Song Of The Week...

A little pop, Ever by After. In fact, a little 2000s-inspired pop that is so 2000s it's kind of hard to believe it's been made in the 2020s. Honestly, I wasn't sure about After at first. I mean we live in the age of recycled nostalgia for the 2000s, glamorizing a decade that was kind of the same as now with all the same problems and then some. Plus it's a very straight interpretation of the 2000s radio friendly pop song, no changes or developments. But honestly... I kind of respect it. It's an indie project and you can tell how much love for the style they have even if it does have roots in something commercial and bleak. Plus there's no denying that the melody, the production, and the vocals are amazing. If you just want a pretty tune made by someone who has a clear love for what they're doing check out their entire EP.

Money For Something {2025 Week #31}

It's the last month of the summer. Soon enough everyone's gonna be back at school. My classes should start up on the 8th of September but it's not set in stone yet. That's really not that soon but time has been passing very fast for me. What I wouldn't give for the childish perception of time, when a day was like an entire eternity...

This week honestly started dramatically. I'm going to be talking some shit here. It all started months ago. Basically, me, my mum, and my brother do weekly house cleaning for one of our/my mum's friends. They are a couple who's kids are my childhood friends but everyone's all grown up so it's just the two of them. They're a bit older than my mum, so very late Baby Boomers. My mum is an early Gen Xer. Anyway, here's the key to all this: they are way loaded. I'm not talking millionaires but they don't struggle or anything. It's always been a bit of an awkward point in our friendships but nothing drastic. They're very nice people and they have even helped us when we were buying our house and the bank was giving us grief so I'm super grateful. But, we don't actually owe them anything and that's important to note.

Even though when we clean, we clean all three of us, they still only pay us as if one person was working for however many hours we were there. So, we made some money doing that while they were away and they said they would just give it to us in cash when they arrived. No problem. Also, my mum had a project with a Chinese client, instead of paying her directly they transferred this money to these friends which was convenient for my mum. They would bring it all in cash once they got to France. No problem!

In the end the amount was well over 1000 euro. But, once these friends arrive they give my mum only 200. So she's obviously like, what? They say they can't give her the whole amount right away because they can't take money of the ATMs here and they need to go to Bordeaux to do that. They keep giving her a 100 there and a 100 there instead of the entire amount. It's just so disrespectful. Why didn't they just have this money ready ahead? We're not borrowing, it's literally just our money. Feels weird. We're also broke all the time so it's just stress-inducing. But we feel some kind of shame or obligation to them even though we don't actually owe them anything and they're supposed to be our friends. Plus, they are not in the same boat at all, they are VERY financially secure. It just feels so weird. Pair that with them openly calling everyone in France on welfare lazy and choosing not to work... in front of my mum who's on welfare now. They know perfectly well about my mum's work ethic, they've known her for near 2 decades now. What is happening?

Anyway, on Monday I go to dinner at their house. It's very pleasant, both of my childhood friends, their children, are there. We are having a good time and I'm not the one who brought up politics! I'm gonna refer to them as the Boomers for now just to keep it brief. Basically, it's the Boomers who bring up politics, starting with migration. Mind you, NO ONE at the table is French. Everyone immigrated here. Way to pull up the ladder. It keeps spiraling, they are big defenders of deregulation, low corporate tax (I'm talking billionaires!), lax opinions on labor exploitation, and anti-welfare. Essentially, everything I hate. But you know what? I was calm like a clam. Maybe it's the overexposure, or arguing with my dad (who's debate tactics are: become a schizophrenic 1500s peasant, he is yet to be defeated by reason), or that stupid ass Jubilee thing Mehdi Hasan was subjected to, but I was just not having it. I kept it cool and collected, stumped them a bunch of times. 

The best exchange was when the Boomer told me he didn't feel safe anymore in Zurich train stations, so I asked why. Because of the people, he says he just doesn't feel safe. I ask, don't you think it could be your bias, I mean, these people haven't actually done anything to you. And yeah. That's where all these things lead: brown people are scary. Why? They don't need a reason.

Their daughter and her boyfriend backed me and were also very openly in disagreement with the Boomers. I don't think they liked that. They interrupted me a lot, they took it personally, I think. But I'm kind of done being a passive nod over here, nod over there type. Might not be invited over for a while, I'll live though.

I know who I am and it's a good place to be. There's a lot about me that makes me unhappy but I'm open-minded. I should be more pro-active for sure but it will take me time to get there. Also I want the last of our money back.

Rare nice pic of me (maybe) ... but where am I looking? (,,>﹏<,,)

On Tuesday I woke up with a migraine and spent all day with a migraine... it sucks! Made my Blaugust post officially, worked on a microsite, finally figured out some Javascript that's been giving me trouble. I need to apply for a travel document STAT but I still haven't done it... maybe I am a lazy immigrant on welfare who doesn't want to do anything. Woe me.

Wednesday was also at home, though I went out for an hour to buy groceries. I buy my cats the most meat-rich cat food (right now its Edgard Cooper and Sheba) and it's for sure more expensive but literally their health is more important to me than my own. For the humans I made fake tonkatsu (by fake I mean inauthentic because I'm bad at Japanese cuisine). My mum renovated another chair today too, the cats immediately took over:

Everything is theirs.

I pass this building on my way, doesn't it look so cool? Imagine if it was renovated, it would be such a cool boutique. It is a lingerie/undergarments type of store now but it's never open and a total mess.

It could be so cool...

Thursday we went to Tom's but my brother dipped early because he didn't feel good (because the fucker goes to bed at like 4 AM). After he left we switched to Mod Nation from Eternal Sonata. Here's my Mod, Veronika who drives the Slutmobile:

She's bad! Bad at driving...

I want a PS3 or a PS4 too ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡

Tom also told me about his process of getting into a uni for programming and game design. He had a super cool pitch document for a survival horror game and I was able to read all the French pretty well but he still ragged on me for getting two words wrong. The uni he didn't get into made him take a culture quiz that was a general knowledge quiz about movies, art, books, etc. I would have aced that shit and motherfucker didn't know who directed Star Wars and mixed up Alien with Aliens, picked from MULTIPLE CHOICE that Cameron directed the first one instead of Ridley Scott. He truly is a JRPG diehard. Or just a plain zoomer.

Friday was my brother's birthday. He got up pretty late so we had plenty of time to set up the balloons. My sister was caught unprepared though and she rushed to pop the confetti and that thing went off right next to my ear and goddamn it hurt. I'm getting 'nam flashbacks. We took the train out of town at 12:30 and walked to the buffet 'cuz we just missed the bus. Royal Wok is kind of our spot for celebrations now, I didn't eat till passing out this time.

Long horse.jpeg

My selections ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

He cannot be normal...

Way home.

Afterwards we stopped by the Easycash, I picked up 2 Clone Wars DVDs and we saw a thing of beauty. A UbiCollectibles figurine of Wrench, 25 CM. He was gorgeous. We debated... do we really need this? Especially because we don't even have much money now. But it was only 25 euros! And it's basically untouched and being sold online for upwards of 120 euros... Ah man, we bought it! I'll post more pics to finnymemo which is now also the general purchases and finds as well as fashion blog. This was as much a gift to him as it was to me. Kind of bullshit, huh, me buying myself gifts on his birthday? To be fair I have saved up and bought him the pricey Miller (he gets the fedora) version of Expanse Osiris Reborn so it's not like he's gift-less. 

He's perfect ಥ﹏ಥ

On the way back the kiosk lady was mad at us for flipping through magazines. Man, nobody's allowed to have any fun anymore! At home no one wanted to eat because everyone was still recovering from the buffet but eventually we got to the cake and watched Fellowship Of The Ring, director's cut. The most friendship forever film/book of all time. 

He's chilling on my PC for now.

Saturday was pretty relaxing, everyone had chores around the house and I made my first Blaugust post on finnybox. It was about Marmoris, my mermaid project. You thought I would shut up about mermaids? Never! Put together a bit of a blogroll to keep up with others and mostly looking to see what fellow 32bit Cafe users are posting. In the afternoon we went to the city pool, it was fun and there were fewer children trying to injure me than usual.

Made contact with the neighbor's cat (•˕ •マ.ᐟ

This?? (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

Sunday morning was busy with more of Blaugust and working on a commission. For dinner we went for a BBQ with the same family from the beginning of the post. They finally paid us back whatever was left so it's water under the bridge I suppose. I'm not mad at them or anything, I don't have beef with them, but I kinda needed to vent about the situation because it was really putting me on edge. No politics were talked about, this time I'm thankful because Monique was there and she's finally properly back on her feet after her surgery. Don't wanna stress her out. 

Anyway, look who's posting on time, on a Sunday, at the end of theeek? Hell yeah! To more timely posts! 

This Week I'm Excited For...

The collector's edition for Witch Hat Atelier Volume 14. Pika Edition have such amazing collector's editions for affordable prices, this one comes with a Brushbuddy! It's gonna be out on the 20th of August at our local store so I'm gonna be there!

It's so cute! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Image Of The Week...

A moody shot of Pearl Jam CDs from 2005. It's from a flickr group for Cybershot owners. I want any camera from the Cyberhsot series so bad... 

Song Of The Week...

The first Deftones albums that I fell in love with in it's entirety was their 2003 self-titled release. It's just so good top to bottom. My favourite song is probably Minerva but the opener, Hexagram is perfection.
