I was probably a fool in some ways to order stuff on CDJapan on December 12 (Japan time). The order was mailed out on December 16, and went to the international mail exchange in Japan on December 18. There has yet to be any further info on its location, so presumably it has yet to arrive in the US -- or at least have its arrival formally recognized by the mail system.
(This step usually takes about a week.)
The last thing I ordered on CDJ was, somehow, just one CD (to be fair it came out on Christmas day) and I am yet to get it since everybody was on/went on Holiday around that time.
I try to avoid doing online orders of any sort between like, Dec. 20 and Jan. 10, which is mostly a superstitious thing at this point.
Plus, as per my schedule, I don't have to get anything else until Jan. 22nd.
I think feeling like everybody else is too presumptuous should be tempered by being forgiving/understanding. It's better to explain what you actually meant and allow the conversation to move on rather than get frustrated. Mostly because people rarely change, and because taking a path forward is always less stressful than idling in said frustration.
I don't think it's a big deal in English but in Spanish it is. Adiós a al país Holanda lleno de holandeses que hablan holandés.
This year I resolve to cut down my physical CD/BD spending by 70%, and try and build up a more comprehensive (legal...ish, depending on needs) digital library.
I already tried this last year and I kept at it for like 3 months tops (and then just made up on all the things I skipped anyways).
However, with hot button issues, I would say it's more about reactions.
Vaguely related; this is the best, most comprehensive article about the Iran crisis I've read this week.
My brother got into drawing recently, which is something I thought he should've been doing for ages. I'm making use of the opportunity to draw too but again I don't think I'm getting anywhere.
Besides that I guess my goal should be to program more. Or in general just be more productive with my idle time at work, which these days is a lot.
Also I've been thinking I should try out new videogames more often.
It's a good way to spend time with a hobby but I've noticed it quickly takes up a lot of actual time as well as headspace (there's always something new to build).
For example, in the last month having not built anything, I read five books and actually got some writing in.
So, really, it's obvious that I shouldn't get back into building blocks.
Regardless of that, I reeeeeaaaaally don't want to go again, but...

This happened to me a couple of times when my wisdom teeth were growing in (literally every man
Uh, that sounds serious.
Good... luck?
The problem doesn't seem like it'll go away on its own so I guess I'll have to go. *shudders*
That said it hasn't hurt at all all day long so that's a good sign. I have to wonder why this didn't come up during my last visits, though.
Yesterday there was some wrestling thing on TV. Nobody watches wrestling in my house, but it was on one of those smorgasbord channels so it was probably somebody just leaving the TV on.
As a kid I was severely allergic to anything that looked like wresting, but I watched about 10m yesterday. After looking stuff up, I actually learned something about a demographic I rarely interact with ever!
I learned that rah rah rugged guys who watch wrestling care about storytelling too, which like should be obvious but when you see people talk about wrestling it's with disdain for the choreographed fights.
I didn't feel a thing with the temporary treatment. Went to the doctor again to get my hopefully lasting treatment, but I don't have a good feeling about it, I feel something in the parts that used to hurt and I just spat some grey peeble (~3mm in diameter) that was probably part of something important. I've never had a molar removed but if it starts aching again I'll have to.
I've probably mentioned it before here, but anyway, it's a whole bunch of puzzles that people collaborate on solving, and my team is a fairly small team with a mostly online presence (I'm a remote member myself).
If you're interested in solving puzzles -- word puzzles, cryptograms, block puzzles, trivia, etc. -- feel free to ask me for more information, and I can also send you an invite to our team's Discord server.
Well, I don't remember you mentioning it this year, but it's enough of a fixture that I expect it to come up.
If there are any anime questions you'd like help with, I'm willing to take a crack at them.
They broke at the base of one of the hinges, I glued them back but they'll fall apart anytime now, indeed I was merely taking them off when they broke.
I do always wonder what people think if they check out my own pastes (which are almost all about anime or YA novels anyways).
Pastebin is kind of funny, because it constantly asks you to go pro, but pro memberships appear to have been sold out for like... ever?
Ah, that's unfortunate. My dad has really good luck with cheap things I think will never survive the week (including reading glasses) but when they do bork out they bork out big.
