Well. It’s been long enough that I can confirm I did not make it to any of Lady Gaga’s shows while she was in Tokyo. I’m sad of course yet from what I heard about the Tokyo Dome seating there were some preeeetty bad angles to be at even in the pricier range. So maybe it was dodging a bullet that my friend and I didn’t end up getting those SS resale tix at the last minute. I think I would have cried blood if I dropped that much money and had the shittiest angle. I can’t imagine how the USAmericans suffering under Ticketmaster’s tyranny must be feeling, paying even MORE for even the furthest seats, ugh.
I believe I whined about this already but now that we’ve OFFICIALLY hit the year two thousand and twenty-six (ew, over halfway through the New 20’s and it just keeps sucking) it’s now ten calendar years from the time I left Los Angeles to live in Tokyo. Saturn also just re-entered Aries for real this time (it popped in last year before retrograde but do any of you even follow or care about that) which signifies the unofficial start of my Saturn return. It feels appropriate considering the start this year even if it isn’t the literal conjunction for me yet just because of the other milestone. What have I overcome and did I learn my lessons? I sure fucking hope so because I don’t want to repeat a single part of the past 10 years ever again. Truly the only thing I miss is a wider community of friends I saw in person but that seems like a common problem for, like, humanity post-schooling. I try my best to see my friends who remain in the city regularly but it won’t ever be the same I don’t think. We need to establish one of those godforsaken streamer houses so we can hang out forever. In other news I got myself a new keyboard that has those nice clicky clicks people go crazy for. I generally hate the loud clacking of a mechanical keyboard but I finally gave a cheaper one a go to see if I liked one that’s less aggressive, and sure enough it’s really nice! I would almost bring this thing to work but I know then I’d come home and miss it. I get what keyboard people are going on about now. Still don’t want to pay like 30,000 yen for one, though.
I’ve been sleeping like crap lately so I want to rest well tonight before work. It sucks having to wake up every day. I’ve said this my whole life and will likely continue to say so until my tragic passing but it sucks! Let me sleep! Let me be free!
I might not actually do book review pages, at least not ones that are as in depth as I was considering. I do enjoy analyzing and pondering the texts I read but I’m not really up for writing mini essays. Maybe just a library of recommendations from me, local confetti bastard. You can trust my taste, of course. Anyone with my screen name would have such.
Oh and yesss I’ll be getting around to cleaning up the site as a whole soon.
