As long as it doesn’t need any public funding, I guess.

Had to work half a day, but nothing actually happened until it was already time to hand off to the next region.

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 8: Another Lockwood plan that should have gotten them all killed, some light betrayal, but everything somehow turns out okay in the end. So much setup for a next season, which I presume will never happen because Netflix.

Read (comic): Rainbow vol 1 (Sunny & Gloomy): A reread from Webtoons, this first volume about a girl with a vivid imagination(?) and a terrible mother goes about as far as I read before. It is very cute, although also kind of dark.

Written (catgirl): Reread from the beginning of the current iteration and made 113 of quick typo fixes and notes on inconsistencies

I thought it was March that stereotypically had wind, but I haven’t flown a kite in decades.

No anime, Marith is feeling poorly.

Watched (live action TV): Lockwood & Co 6: The fancy party episode, now with more mysterious conspirators!

Read (novel): Industrial Strength Magic (Macronomicon): The teenage son of a gadgeteer supervillain and wizard superheroine combines the gifts he got from his parents to get exponentially-increasing magic-gadgeteering power in a post-apocalyptic  (or maybe just apocalyptic) world of supervillains and kaiju and sanity-destroying astronomy. There is a potential love triangle, but I think it may be resolved properly (ie, poly).

Read (manga): Dandadan vol 11 (Yukinobu Tatsu): Fallout from everybody getting mugged by aliens in the last volume. Time for training montages!

Written (game design): 115.

Also Working Naked Day, which I did not celebrate. I did eat pizza, however.

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 5: Ugh, Lucy, did they not teach you situational awareness at ghost-hunter vocational school?

Read (novel): When Gracie Met the Grump (Mariana Zapata): A young woman who is keeping a very low profile has one of the world’s only three superheroes fall out of the sky into her yard. Adventure ensues, but it’s just an excuse for (normal girl-alpha alpha male) romance. There is a terrifying grandmother.

Read (manga): A Sinner of the Deep Sea vol 2 (Akihito Tomi): Punk mermaid meets love-struck mermaid’s boy, and then mermaid politics gets in the way of the jailbreak. I’m rooting for the punk mermaid and the boy’s badass sister, but it’s probably too heteronormative.

Read (manga): When the Villainess Seduces the Main Heroine vol 1 (Kasai Fujii): Standard opening of the crown prince accusing his fiancee of assorted villainy and dumping her for a different girl, but this time the ex asks the new girl if she really wants to stay with somebody so fickle and so disappointing in bed. She doesn’t, so the two women shack up together and enjoy life (and each other) despite the attempted interference of titled assholes. Not smut with graphic sex scenes, but lots of sex nevertheless.

Written (game design): 127.

Didn’t drink any hot chocolate, because I’m not smart enough, and considering how easy hot chocolate is…

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 4: Surely there is no way this can go wr- oh.

Read (manga): Yakuza Reincarnation vol 5-7 (Hiroki Miyashita, Takeshi Natsuhara): Picked this back up after a long hiatus. Our old-fashioned honorable yakuza reincarnated as a fantasy princess finishes dealing with the numerous problems in the city of the dwarves, which of course are a further escalation of the demonic activity in the previous episodes, and moves on to the walking city to get her minion doctored up, which exposes normal corruption but also more information about skill trees.

Written( game design): 253 of rearranging skill lists on the Titanic.

Definitely not legal to commemorate any more.

Wasted my time doing low-level crafting in Shop Titans to get the event tasks that only care about how many of something, not tiers.

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 3: I thought that plot was going to last longer, but nope!

Read (manga): Dinosaur Sanctuary vol 1 (Itaru Kinoshita, Shin-Ichi Fujiwara): Zookeeping x dinosaurs, with a real paleontologist to make sure the dinosaurs are right. There’s some plot involving the humans and their finances and devotion to dinosaurs, or something, but that’s not really important.

Written (game design): 103.

I like peanut brittle, but See’s is always out of stock of the sugar-free. I hope they haven’t discontinued it

Managed to buy a cat supply, but mostly I was useless and had pizza.

Watched (live action): Lockwood & Co 2: What are the odds that the PCs think there’s a conspiracy and there actually isn’t? Although it’s not like the authorities don’t have perfectly legitimate grounds for quashing them.

Read (manga): Monster Cats vol 1 (Pandania): 4-panel comics about cats crossed with various monsters like gargoyle, slime, sphinx, bedsheet ghost, etc. They are still all adorable cats.

Written (game design): 103.
