There’s a fast food chain called Moe’s Southwestern Grill. They call themselves “southwestern”, but they came from Georgia. Real southwestern fast food chains include Carl’s Jr, El Pollo Loco, In-N-Out, Taco Cabana, and Jack In The Box. Especially In-N-Out since at one time it can only be found in California, Nevada, and Arizona. Yes, a burger chain that only serves burgers is more “southwestern” than Moe’s.

I saved a single fan art of Raymond on my Pinterest. Now my entire "More Ideas" feed is littered with Raymond art. Meanwhile, I cannot find a single good piece of fan art for Lopez. It makes me wish certain villagers would receive more love in the fan art department, but unfortunately that isn't the case.

I also feel this way, there also aren't much fanart for the cow and bull villagers. I can find a fair amount of artwork of Tipper and Rodeo, but I have seen very few drawings of T-Bone, Coach, and the others.
 
I told my dad about my leg being temporarily injured and not being able to walk, and he said great, and that he'll get the chainsaw. I responded saying, "Thanks! Do you have a wheelchair too?" And then he said, "No, only a cane." I think I really do get my sense of humor from him. X)

Idk if this falls in the same category, but I would love to try Del Taco someday…mostly bc my area doesn’t have any.
 
At my highschool, I was on a crew that put together the event room. (Setting up tables, podiums, folding napkins). Sometimes simply for teacher meetings, other times something big like a politician speaking.

One day I was playing with the microphone and my teacher jokingly says 'Alright, I'll sign you up to speak in front of 1,000 people this evening'.

At least I think she was joking.

I didn't hang around up there and find out.
 
Thinking about how cool it would be to have an Iron Man suit of my own.. lol
I was watching CA:CW last night, and even though I'm a Captain America AND Bucky Barnes girly.. Tony's suit... gimme.. I wanna fly around and have all that super cool tech stuff, too!
 
So the first animal in the Chinese Zodiac is the rat, but if you align the signs by 12-divisibility, the first sign is the rooster, and the last is the monkey.

These zodiac signs are the leap year signs:
  • Rat (4th year)
  • Dragon (8th year)
  • Monkey (12th year)
 
Another Christmas movie I cannot stand is The Family Stone. It’s advertised as a romantic comedy, but it’s confusing, not funny at all, and most of the characters are not likable. I guess the only good thing it has going for it is deaf representation. (My aunt is deaf and likes when movies include deaf people.)

And then I see some people say it’s their favorite Christmas movie. I know art is subjective, but wow.
 
I just realized I missed the bug off on my second island; I got so busy doing other things 😔. I know I can tt back if needed but I didn’t want to tt much or at all on my second island aside from going a few hours back because I didn’t get to play earlier in the day. Probably won’t be able to get back to my second island soon since I’m busy drawing and was working on my persona playthrough. Again, I wish I could play a bunch of games at once without losing focus on any.

I have been feeling this way myself again. I am so focused on my second island that I keep forgetting about Pokemon Violet. I know I missed some things in there that I wish I had known about or remembered. I keep wanting to start drawing again but can’t seem to focus on more then one thing after work.
 
I watched Gladiator II today in theaters. The original Gladiator is one of my favorite movies.

It's not 'bad', but it hits none of the emotional beats of the original. The story just doesn't compare.

It's still fun. However it's been turned into somewhat of a seasonal popcorn flick.

Yeah...I can't remember what bug off it was, but maybe it wasn't and it was the fish tourney. I can't remember. I got all of the Nook achievements for them except for the last one that falls in the last fall? I finally got it this year. I would just keep forgetting every time it came around.

I know that feeling though. So much you want to do but not enough time in the day. Some games I do want to play, but I'm hesitant cause they can be such huge time sinks and sometimes I just don't have the time or energy for that. Like Fire Emblem 3 Houses. I want to try it, but the time-sinkiness worries me lol.

Oh and a game I play called Grounded had an update for crafting scarecrows in October. I missed it so now I can't do that. Darn would've been cute to see what they looked like. (It's a game where you're a tiny person in a backyard like Honey I shrunk the kids) Hope you can find the time soon!

I have the time but managing my time and keeping my focus is difficult; might be bit of adhd and ocd since I hyperfixate a lot on stuff I’m interested in. If I am playing multiple games, one game gets less attention than the other. If I start any, eventually what happens is that I get more interested in the new game and I drop one or more of the games in the end, sometimes all of them.

I loved Fire Emblem Three Houses. I still need to finish a playthrough. I didn’t think it had time sinkiness then again, I honestly never heard of that term before so I’m not entirely sure to give you a definite answer, it has been quite some time since I last played it.

Oh, I don't mean anything by it. Time sink just means games that eat up a lot of time. I love rpgs but I can't really dedicate the time to them that much anymore. So like Persona would be a 'time-sink' it doesn't mean it is bad, just that it's a game that will take a lot of hours. And since my play time can be spotty sometimes I get back in a game and totally forget things and it's not easy to restart it cause I'll be right back where I started probably haha 😅

I totally get what you're saying. I can only focus on one main game at at time. That way I can appreciate everything about the game. If I consume too much content on other games too soon/at the same time I feel like I don't appreciate it as much. But also it's ok if you drop a game. You should play what you want and enjoy. If you're suddenly enjoying another game more or not having fun with another it's ok to move on. You shouldn't force yourself to play a game to completion just because.
 
Ohh okay! Then the games did for me but only because I liked to grind and make my characters OP. Thanks for clarifying :D; I know you didn’t mean anything bad 🙂.

the thing is i’d drop the game not because I wasn’t having fun, but because I’d be so focused on the other game that pretty much that would be all I could concentrate on. You’re right! I just wish I could play everything that I want without my interest waning or focus diminishing. This is honestly kinda confusing and hard for me to understand too.

This is one of my problems as well. There are a few games I would love to get back into but have no idea where I left off or where to go next. I’m trying to get out of the habit of restarting games since I never get very far in most of them after I restart.
