BLOG -- Recap of June

Some things happened in June, but I don't want to talk about them (sorry). Other than that, I'm still working away on my resolutions as well as now watching a bunch of movies. My birthday. is coming up next month I hope I get to celebrate it!

Also, a reminder that the PSP digital store closes very soon! So get whatever you need before it's gone. I still have a bunch of PSP games to play through...

"Outings" / Events in June:
- Attended Hatsune Miku's Online Concert Stream. It was fun, but I still think a live concert experience is best. I just want to be waving my glowsticks with others xD

- Started to use the Toronto Public Library's online streaming service (Hoopla) to watch some movies for free (8 titles max a month). The video quality isn't the best but I'm fine with it. I'm just glad I have legit access to some movies (I'm being a bit lazy with subscribing to more streaming services).


Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn achievements / news: 
-My subscription's still expired.


Exposures:
- Nothing this month.


Finished...
Watching:
- (Movie): Legally Blondes -- I think with this I've watched all Legally Blonde movies in existence. I'd recommend just watching the first movie and forgetting that the sequels exist.

- (Movie): Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction -- Too similar to the first movie, but not as good.

- (Movie): The Descent 2 -- Pretty bad. The first movie was way better.

- (Movie): Species II -- It was okay.

- (Movie): Species III -- Not that good.

- (Movie): Funny Games -- It was really well-done, but I think the original intent was lost on me, 'cuz I wasn't looking for entertainment with this movie -- I was wondering if I'd get some thought-provoking experience (since it was by YMS guy's favourite director [Michael Haneke]). I definitely got an experience -- not a feel-good one, though. A caution for anybody who's curious about watching this.

- (Movie): Buffalo '66 -- Some of the camera shots were interesting, but I wanted to punch the main guy so badly.

- (Movie): Amore Perros -- This was hard to watch. I didn't really enjoy it either. Partway through I thought, The overall feel makes me think of 21 Grams. Little did I know...

- (Movie - Anime): Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 1: The Beginnings -- I know that this movie is pretty much a recap of the first half of the anime series. It was a good refresher. Overall, it was a good movie.

- (Movie - Anime): Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 2: Eternal -- Same with this one. Very good movie and refresher.

- (Movie - Anime): Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 3: Rebellion -- It was really good. Homura is still my favourite.

Playing:
- (PS4): Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut -- For an old game, it was pretty fun and challenging. Don't underestimate it just 'cuz it looks cute and features a female character.

- (PS4): Cafeteria Nipponica -- I spent way too many hours playing this. I've already beaten it two times, but I want to go through it one more time with all the recipes and jobs maxed out.

- Nothing for this month.

Some macarons I ordered for Pokemon's 25th anniversary.
That Pikachu was delicious.

This is the first time ordering an actual meal after the pandemic started.
The shrimp was really good.

A screenshot of the Hatsune Miku Online Concert Stream.

I bought this class in SINoALICE. Their 1st year anniversary is
coming up very soon! :D

This character showed up in the SMT Dx2 game.

I just find this so amusing. Sonic is a demon in the SMT Dx2 game. XD

"150-Hour Chocolate Cake" by Alvin Zhou. This is so soothing to watch.
I wish I had the time and tools to try this out.
