- Last week, on a whim, I got some cookies and cream mochi ice cream. It turns out, mochi ice cream is great and also, one of them is enough to feel like a satisfying dessert in the evening, so I don't feel too full when I go to bed. This week, I decided to be a little more adventurous and get one of the non-western flavors, so now I have black sesame mochi ice cream. You guys. You guys. Black sesame ice cream is amazing.
- Sometime last year, I backed a Kickstarter for a board game called The Night Cage and I got my copy this week. It's a spooky-themed cooperative tile-placement game, so I can play by myself or with friends. I played it twice in solo mode this afternoon - I had to play a second time after realizing that I'd forgotten a rule the first time which made it too easy - and it's a really fun game. It's also got ways to make the base game more difficult once you get good at it, which I'm excited to try sometime. I can't wait to play with other people.
- The other thing about listening to a lot of the Great Gundam Project is that I still haven't watched any Gundam, but I have watched some other shows that the hosts have talked about and recommended, which then has led to me watching some shows that I've always half meant to see but never did. Mostly so far this has been me watching Armor Hunter Mellowlink and Cardcaptor Sakura (not at the same time) but I spent most of today knitting and watching My Hero Academia. It's pretty good.
- I have also been watching a lot of Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty. I am 19 episodes in and I love it with my whole heart. Wang Zhi is everything I want in a fictional character and the show doesn't even think he's a villain! He might actually survive the whole thing! That never happens to me.
- At some point, though, I do need a new tv show that's actually in English. I can knit while watching anime or cdramas and still read the subtitles, but spinning is impossible during either of those.

Date: 2021-07-19 02:25 am (UTC)At the moment I’m rewatching Leverage (partially because I’ve already watched all the released episodes for Leverage: Redemption).
