Rebirth Of The Red Lantern: Volume 1, Chapter 3
A Change of Plans, Part I: New red flag warnings for high winds were issued for both Monday and Thursday, which means I’ll likely drive Artoria for my mini vacation. If I can’t drop Miku’s top then I might as well leave her at home. While I’m there...
A Change of Plans, Part II: I may look at housing. Bert may be on the move soon, and I think it would be a great idea for me to drive around the neighborhoods at night to see how safe they are. In case I buy something myself down the road.
WHAT’S CHANGED
I’m officially a Republican, but that’s like saying I dyed my hair a platinum blonde and pink ombre. The voting card should arrive in a few days, but I can always go back to chestnut brown (No Party Preference) at anytime.
I'm still pissed off at the racism I experienced from both sides after the election, so I'm allowed to vote with my wallet at the state and local levels. In other words, Tang Satan is still Tang Satan.
WHAT BOTTLE I OPENED
Heritiers Benoit Pepe Maurice Bourgogne Pinot Noir, 2022 (Total Wine, $19.99) It’s a “red”, so I used an aerator to enhance its flavor. It’s bright and cheery, and best served by itself or paired with a steak. It was okay with chicken but not recommended with salmon. At this price point it’s definitely worth buying again.
WHAT I BOUGHT
I picked up this bottle of A To Z Oregon Rose Wine (2022) for only $12.99 at Costco. Wine Enthusiast has it rated at 90, so I eagerly look forward to sampling it in the coming weeks.
Yesterday I returned to Costco and bought a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $249. They're $50 off for a very limited time, and by that I mean the discount ends tomorrow! Yes I already own a pair of Bose Sport earbuds, and that’s the difference between the two. The Sport model is designed for exercise while the Ultra is for every day use.
Oh, my new passport and card arrived yesterday. Does that count, too?
WHERE I’M GOING
I’d like to keep the upcoming trip under wraps until I post photos documenting my journey. Is that okay?
WHAT I LISTENED TO
Sammy Hagar, and not the Van Hagar stuff. Via the MINI’s stereo systems “I’ll Fall In Love Again” with songs like “There’s Only One Way To Rock”, “Two Sides Of Love” and “I Can’t Drive 55” from his solo days.
Hey, I’ve got plenty of bad jokes this morning. Anyway…
WHAT I STARTED DOING AGAIN
My reading habits are evolving and I need a good excuse to visit the comics shop every other week on average. What’s a better way to do that than a pull list? I’ve got four new series on it including last week's Deadpool/Wolverine.
WHAT SACRED TEXTS I READ
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (In progress)
- The Barbarian’s Bride, Volume 2
- Black Lightning #1, #2 & #3
- Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 (The prequel for The Green Lantern Corps)
- Rogue: The Savage Land #1
Also from J-Novel Club…
- The Hero And The Sage: Reincarnated And Engaged, Volume 3
- The Poison King: Now That I’ve Gained Ultimate Power, The Bewitching Beauties In My Harem Can’t Get Enough Of Me, Volume 3 (finished)
- An Introvert’s Hookup Hiccups: This Gyaru Is Head Over Heels For Me!, Volume 9 (finished)
- Duchess In The Attic, Volume 3
WHAT I WATCHED
Modern dating videos on YouTube. While they’re great source material for my story, I occasionally get the icks afterward. There’s only so much men bashing and women behaving like adult teenagers that I can take, y’all.
WHAT MADE ME HAPPY
The fourth season of the anime adaptation of Rent-A-Girlfriend will cover two seasons (Summer 2025 and Winter 2026) with a break in between. In plain English, they’re going to cover “The Hawaiians” in roughly 24-26 episodes. There’s a lot going on in that vacation story arc, and I’m thrilled the tale won’t be rushed. It will change everything about that anime series by the time the season’s over.
WELCOME TO SLAPSVILLE…
I still don’t have any candidates. Moving on…
A FIST BUMP GOES TO…
Um… I don’t have anyone for this either. Finally…
WHAT’S UP WITH MY HEALTH
I’m back down to 255.2 but I was at 255 even midweek. The stats breakdown doesn’t show any changes between the two weights, so I have no idea what caused the 0.2 gain. Gotta love those “smart” scales. I’m also pain free and I completed all scheduled workouts.
I give you kudo for saying you changed Republican out loud. Around here if they are they don't say it out loud. And nothing wrong with that. There are good Republicans, but the sad part is the ones running the party are ruining it for the whole party because of their white ways, greed and love for billionaires and only looking to serve the rich. Many of my friends who were republican did the opposite of you. That great more numbers, but does that matter? Democrats are historically lazy when it comes to voting, especially in mid-terms and little local elections. It will be interesting to see what the US is like after the four years is up.
ReplyDeleteI always have Warbucks offer to head to Europe!
Yeah, it's definitely going to be interesting. I'm glad I now have my passport and card, and a birth certificate that says I'm white if shit goes sideways!
DeleteI reread Wuthering Heights last year. I am curious to hear your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteI just hit the 1/3 mark as of an hour ago and I really like it now. It might be awhile before I finish it since I'm likely leaving the book at home for my trip.
