BLOG -- Recap of March

March was... more of the same. I might have to try setting some basic schedule for myself. Even though I don't have any resolutions this year, I feel like my time is being spread very thin these days.

"Outings" / Events in March:

- Had a LINE voice chat with my friends. We talked about vacuum cleaners again and also talked about Masked Singer and Dominos Masters. It was fun! :)

- I had a week-long vacation. I was a total potato.

- I tuned into Stephen Georg's Twitch stream to celebrate his birthday. It was a really fun time! I also tuned in two days later to celebrate Chaz's birthday (Stephen and Mal's friend). That was a really fun time as well!

- I got my booster shot. I was feverish and uncontrollably shivering that night.

- My sister dropped by for a surprise visit! She saw something she shouldn't have... (no more details here!) >_>''

- In Toronto, many COVID-related restrictions have been lifted. I think it'll be another month or two before I try venturing out of the house by myself (provided that things don't get worse).

- Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn achievements / news: 
-I finally re-subbed to FFXIV. I re-subbed for 6 months. Aside from trying to get caught up with the main story, I want to organize my inventory so I can drop the 3rd retainer. The big challenge will be finding the time to do all this.

Exposures:

- (YouTuber): Josh Strife Hayes -- I came across this channel randomly. I wanted to see if there were any videos about Uncharted Waters Online, an old MMO that I've been meaning to try for a very long time. I checked out Josh's video criticizing it. Even though I still intend to try out Uncharted Waters Online sometime, I checked out more of this videos. I also caught a couple of his DnD streams on Twitch. Based off what I've watched so far, he seems like a funny, insightful, very handsome, geeky guy. Geeky is always a plus in my books! XD

Finished...

Watching:

- (Movie): Urban Legend -- This was on my watchlist for many years (the trailer looked interesting). There were some interesting moments but overall it was okay.

- (Movie): Ma -- Not what I expected from the trailer. I wouldn't watch this again.

- (Movie): St. Trinian's -- I watched this for Colin Firth. I was offput in the beginning, but I enjoyed it a lot in the end. I love their theme song.

- (Movie): I'm Thinking of Ending Things -- The most out there movie I've watched so far this year. It was very well done, though a bit too gloomy for me. It... gave me a lot of things to think about, hahaha.

- (Movie): Escape Room (2017) -- It was not good.

- (Movie): Escape Room (2019) -- It was better than the other Escape Room movie but not by a lot.

- (Movie): The Fanatic -- I didn't like this.

- (Movie): Birdemic: Shock and Terror -- Cringe.

- (Documentary): The Minimalists: Less is Now -- It covered a lot of things I already knew, but it was nice to get a refresher.

- (Show): Squid Game -- This was too brutal for me, but I watched it so I could talk to my friends about it and so I could watch YMS' video on it. 199 was my favourite character.

- (Show): The Queen's Gambit -- I enjoyed it, though more so because the premise involved chess than anything else. The music was great, too.

- (Anime): Carole & Tuesday -- Very feel-good. I watched this in English dub since I think it was released that way (correct me if I'm wrong!). My favourite song is their first song. I also really enjoyed the 2nd ending theme.

- (Anime): Non Non Biyori -- When I heard that this series was leaving Crunchyroll end of this month, I binged all 3 seasons this weekend (I would have liked to spread it out). It's a cute, funny, and relaxing series. Anybody wanting a break from this high-tech, fast-paced world should check it out. Hotaru is my favourite.

Playing:

- (PC): King's Bounty: The Legend -- Way too addictive for its own good. I may blog about this in the future.

Reading:

- (Book) Rumple Buttercup by Matthew Gray Gubler -- I read this just because it was by Matthew Gray Gubler (Reed from Criminal Minds is awesome). It was simplistic and cute.

A screenshot of King's Bounty: The Legend.
This game was successful in taking over 100 hours of my time.

We did pretty well for GC this month.
For anybody wondering why I have so many TC, I've been saving for the next collab. I have resisted many banners for the past few months.

"Worst MMO Ever? - Forsaken World: Gods and Demons" by Josh Strife Hayes.

This is one of Josh's most entertaining videos for me (from what I've watched).
As I watch it, I think 'Yes, I'll play Magic against you; your dogs are cute; I would like to watch a DnD session'. XD

"The World of MMO Whales" by Josh Strife Hayes.
I find this very interesting.

Thanks for reading!

As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free.

Random thing -- I kinda found out through a Facebook posting that one of my friends recently got married. If he's reading this, congratulations!!! I wish you two good health, wealth, and all the joyous things in life! :)

Take care, stay safe, and until next time! :)
