• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

What Are You Happy About Today?

After five months of playing, I finally finished Gran Turismo 5 to full completion! Another 24 hour race stood in my way which took me quite a few days to finish. I just used an overpowered car to blow away the competition by a huge margin so I could just let the game idle for a few hours and still stay in first place. I've already done a 24 hour race a couple of months back and I don't want to go insane again lol. Explaining as to why it took me so long to complete the game, it was because of its weird XP system where it dragged the game longer than it should have, along with so much grinding. Other things that contributed to my slow completion of the game was because of real life stuff, doing some animation practice, the three events that happened on the forums (TBTWC, Celebrating Diversity, and 6 Days of Scavenging), and playing other games, ESPECIALLY with Okami. With all that out of the way, I can just sit back, relax, and do whatever I want. I might start Gran Turismo 6 very soon now that I've completed the game. Now if you excuse me, I'm just gonna drive a PT Cruiser and end up crashing into a wall because I overestimated its ability lol.

Edit: Added some things that contributed to slow game progression.

This morning I showed my supervisor a draft of the paper I've been working on all year. My expectation was that she would have a long list of corrections I should make, but instead she said it's valuable information and wants to publish it. This is exactly the type of motivation I needed to get the damn thing finished!

(Context: I'm a scientist.)

Dad had a bit of a rough patch yesterday, but is doing a lot better today now that the hospital has him on the nicotine patch and changed his anxiety meds!

Mom is still doing well, her hospital seems to be taking things a bit slower, which is good, because it means full recovery instead of quick, maybe recovery

Other than that, I've gotten back into pixel art, which has been a lot of fun ^^
 
I went to my apartment complexe’s cleanup day outside. We cleaned up any trash/cigarettes we could find throughout the property and then we had lunch the apartment case manager made for us. We had grilled hotdogs (which were insanely good), big pieces of watermelon, chips, and cans of soda and ate out in the courtyard. It was really nice, I finally got out of my shell enough to socialize a bit, normally I’d be too anxious to do that. And the weather is beautiful, it feels like fall. It’s sunny and cool, breezy. :)

There's nothing like bonding with a good grilled dog. Glad you had fun!
 
- I got up in the morning today and my sleep schedule is finally back to normal.
- I went to therapy and it really helped me sort out my thoughts and feelings on things.
- I toured a non-profit company I’d actually really love to work at, and am hopeful that I’ll get hired.
- I had a meatball sub from one of my favorite places, which I haven’t had in awhile.

All in all a great end to the week. :D
 
Today's been lovely!

-I got my package early! It wasn't supposed to come until Tuesday but it came today which was a really lovely surprise. The liquid lipstick I ordered needs to be returned b u t the lip glosses are both perfect. They smell so yummy, one of them is a really pretty sparkly colour that I want to wear every single day and then the other is this orangier colour that looks so pretty over lipstick.

-I saw so many blue jays!! When I was downstairs waiting for my package to come I kept peeking out the window and saw a bunch of them. I think the most I saw at one time was four or five? It was so cool. 🥰

-I got my final covid vaccine!! I was really nervous for the second one because A.) I was nervous about mixing Pfizer & Moderna (which is approved here in Canada) and B.) I heard the side effects for the second one can be worse. I ended up getting Pfizer again which did make me feel better and so far I seem to be okay! My arm is only really sore if I lift it up high vs last time when it was sore no matter what I did. I'm still a little nervous that maybe the bad side effects will happen tomorrow but so far so good.

-Since I had to stick around the pharmacy for a little bit after my vaccine I ended up looking at the makeup. I found a lipstick that's similar to the colour I tried to order online! This one is a bullet lipstick and it's a touch more brown but when I put the lip gloss on top it's so pretty. I just really wanted a pumpkin colour lipstick for fall, lol.

-I had some blueberries in my oatmeal and they were so yummy. Sometimes blueberries make me nervous to eat because I never know which are going to be really sour but thankfully these ones were all sweet! It's also been nice out today, only about 18 degrees which has been a really cozy temperature. 🥰

-Oh my gosh!! I can't believe I almost forgot to mention that @BungoTheElf finished my art last night and I love it so much!! She made me a signature and it's so gosh darn cute I love it 😭 it's my girlfriend and I sitting in front of a fire roasting marshmallows!! With camp belltree coming up I thought I'd have something more camp themed for the rest of summer 🥰

  • Me, my sister, and my mother went biking this morning to go to a place I'll be mentioning in a bit. I was surprised my sister was able to identify a car while we were biking (it was a PT Cruiser AGAIN. I swear, ever since I mentioned that car on here, I've been seeing it a tad more often). That's quite unusual of her. Perhaps she's starting to be like me eyeing out which cars are which based on their looks lol. Speaking of which, I spotted a Honda Civic Type R. I've seen so many regular Honda Civics, but the Type R versions are pretty uncommon, so that's nice.
  • We biked to Sunset Grill to eat pancakes and home fries out on the patio. With cool temperatures at the time around 20C, we had a good time and got full pretty quickly with some leftovers!
  • I went to Best Buy to buy something. After almost five years of waiting since the Welcome Amiibo update dropped for New Leaf (wait, has it really been that long?), I finally got the Sanrio Amiibo Cards! But it wasn't for me, though. In fact, it was for my sister! She wanted to get them ever since they've been released but were quickly snatched to be sold online for hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars! Thanks to @CanuckChick for reminding those who live in Canada that the cards have been restocked, I was able to buy one before they sold out! The store I went to is one of the few locations that had them (and thankfully near where I live) while the majority had none left. In the end, it made my sister really happy that she was finally able to get what she wanted after waiting for so long. Now she's making good use of them. 😊 Take that, scalpers! Patience really is a virtue after all!
