• 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?

I finished my submission for the snowman task. Although it’s a really simple design, I’m satisfied with how it turned out.
I have an idea for another task, but I’m waiting until my day off to work on it because it’s a bit more time consuming.
I managed to gather enough tokens for a red star fragment from this event. I am glad to have one with a later time stamp now.
Receiving seventeen bells for TBT’s birthday was a nice surprise.
I had a smooth night at work and it went by rather quickly.
 
I love how the special snowflake raffle ticket looks, and I love having it in my lineup!! ❄
Caught the latest episode of One Piece this morning with my family and it was another really cool episode! The animation was absolutely gorgeous!!
New event tasks started today and I've got a couple down already! I love playing dressup games from time to time, so I really enjoyed creating an accessory for the snowman! I'm excited for the two tasks I have remaining as well. Although, this being my first winter in ACNH, getting festive DIYs for Harvey's feast is gonna require a good deal of prep work on my part. 😅
 
Was it that Lion King song? (Kidding by the way)
Nope lol. I know you're only joking, but if you're actually curious what song was being played while I was driving the car, it's called Just One Second (Apex Remix) by London Elektricity! The song sounds more of something that gets you pumped up, but picturing a clear sunrise while this plays is absolutely beautiful, and the lyrics kind of match up too!

-----------------------------------------------

All right, I'll start listing a combobulation (Stitches made up that word) of stuff that happened over the last couple of days:
  • I got the song K.K. Lovers after hearing K.K. performing it live. When I went to insert the music to hear the aircheck version, I found myself listening to it for a few minutes straight. It sounds so good and it feels like something you'd hear in a DS game, which I'm finding to be a recurring theme in some of the new songs. I really didn't expect update 2.0 to bring new K.K. soundtracks and I'm absolutely loving it right now.
  • Played Gran Turismo 6 to yeet cars around race tracks as per usual. I'm starting to get a little more understanding how to tune set-ups to optimize my time and driving style. :)
  • I finally submitted my pictures for the 'Opal's Opalescent Ornaments' event and got accepted!
  • Today was another day of sunny clear skies. I got to drive again as well while taking it the shine. What's even better was that it snowed yesterday so snowy roofs + clear skies + sunset = Absolute perfection 💙
  • I got around to starting my quilt design. Late, I know lol. I'm trying to apply some things I've learned while I was on a hiatus, so I hope to put it to good use. And even if it doesn't turn out too well, I can always look at it as a step of getting better!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept fairly well again last night.
- I didn't stress out too much when things came up at work today.
- I only have to work two more days and then I'm off for the rest of the year!
- I got my mom's Christmas present wrapped this evening.
- I finished my last two submissions for the TBT Christmas event. Hopefully they get accepted.
 
Two of my submissions for the event were approved. I cannot do any of the tasks requiring New Horizons, but I’m having fun with it anyway.
I’m eating buffalo style chicken which is really appetizing for me, especially after work. I also have some dipped pretzels, as well.
I actually had a good night at work. Monday is probably my favorite day to work because it’s always slow and the immature people are scheduled off.
I’m going to see my dog tomorrow. I might pick up some McDonald’s and share with him. He really likes holiday pies. He’s a weird dog, for sure.
I’m happy because I have an easy week. I’m only scheduled to work three days. It’s a shame because I really would like the money, but it’s nice to have the time off. Besides, tax season is approaching and I’m looking forward to a hefty return. All those tax withholds I did will pay off, lmao.
 
A comic collab I did with a friend on neopets got held over for the NT! I've been working very hard with her idea on it and hopefully it will also get published soon enough :D

(For those who don't I know I (ir)regularly draw comics with collab partners for The Neopian Times on Neopets. If you want to check our stuff just search for _kankuro when you're on the Times' page)
 
Went Christmas shopping with my mum and managed to buy all the presents I need, now I just need to pick up a few cards and I'm done. We had a nice lunch and managed to get all the shopping done pretty quickly, then I had a relaxing bath and wrapped all the presents once I got home 😄 Also booked to go watch Spider-Man: Far From Home with my friend on Christmas Eve!

Our dishwasher miraculously started working again today too after a few days of not filling up with water for whatever reason lmao
