What Are You Happy About Today?

☾ I got to see some new official artwork of a few of my faves!! ^^ It was actually a preview of an anniversary piece for next month, so I'm excited to see everything in full then.
☾ I got to play some Legends: Arceus today, and I was able to calm the frenzied noble Lilligant! Got a couple requests in and retrieved some satchels too.
☾ I watched the first few episodes of Spy x Family! I've been hearing a lot of good things about it, and I'm glad I decided to check it out. I'm enjoying it; it's really cute/wholesome in an odd sort of way, ahahaha.
 
Apologies for invading your notifications lol. It's been a few days since I last came to this thread! I'll point out the things that happened over the past few days provided I can remember them. I'm still trying to hang in there from the incident almost a week ago now. 🥲

  • I finally got to finish Metroid Dread! I must say, it's a pretty great game and I'm left wondering why I didn't get into the Metroid series much sooner. Apparently, this game started development all the way back in 2005 for the DS before being canceled numerous times according to what I've read. And I thought having numerous delays for Zelda BotW was bad. Man, you Metroid fans had it rough! It also made me happy that the game sold very well and that it ended up selling the most copies in the series! It's great and I'm hoping they'd continue to go forward with Metroid in the future.
  • The days are getting warmer and I don't have to bring out my sweater as often. In fact, I ended up wearing shorts.
  • I and my mother bought some things at a grocery store that was on sale.
  • I went on a car stroll and had iced capp from Tim Hortons! I also saw a few doggos in the process.
  • Feel free to skip this point. This was actually from a few days ago, but I spotted a Lexus SC 430. Nothing too special, but it's nice seeing one. As for today, I have definitely seen a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe C2, even though I only got to see its back. Fun fact: some of the C2 Corvettes have a 'split window' on the back, but the one I saw doesn't. Would it be nice to see the first-gen Corvette someday? That's the only generation left I have yet to spot in real life.
  • I played Gran Turismo 7 and made a simple livery! I also did a couple more silly custom races again.
Dang, Kirby is still running free with that 1968 Fiat 500 F, eh?

  • Over the past few days, I'm constantly making progress on my art project. Today felt even better, as I finished 10 pieces! I'm absolutely crushing it right now and getting even closer to the halfway point!
  • I got to watch a part of the 12 hours Bathurst race endurance livestream. It's nice watching different motorsports since the TV channels here in Canada avoid them like a plague and anything else on four wheels lol.

☾ I have discovered oatmeal and it's actually kinda good?? Homemade is definitely better than instant though, the instant kind is way too sugary for me. For homemade, adding in an apple and some cinnamon has been my go-to.

You should try mixing Nutella with oatmeal. It tastes great with it!
 
@Foreverfox

Later tonight (Sunday) there's two games I'm REALLY looking forward to. The first is at 7 p.m. CST on TNT, it's game 7 between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns!!

And the second is at 8:30 p.m. CST on ESPN2, it's game 7 between the Dallas Stars and Calgary Flames!!

I'm really hoping both Dallas teams win, but no matter if we win or lose, it was a good run either way. Especially the Mavs' run. Gives me hope that they can do the same next year. 😤
 
Did some relaxing today this morning. I could've gotten more done but decided not to push myself.

I went to a trial cooking lesson and ending up buying a package. I'll keep going back for a year or so and doing a beginner's course with standard meals! For becoming a member I also get to do a cookie making class in a couple of weeks.

Had Korean food with a group of people in Shinokubo ( the Koreantown of Tokyo). It's been more than two years since I was in that area and I forgot how much fun it. I'm still trying to see when I can go back to Korea. In the meantime, I'll keep studying a bit of Korean/

⟡ I started talking another person at work who is in this group of friends and I’m starting to feel like I’m part of their group.
⟡ I’m going to Vegas at the beginning of June and it’s going to be nice to have some time away.
⟡ I slept very well last night and had the chance to play some video games before work, as well!
 
Finally ordered another eyelash serum since I used up the old one and an outdoor foldable chair so that I can sit on my veranda. For whatever reason I've been putting off ordering them for months! I was able to use Amazon gift cards I received and I still have money left over.

My dad got a Fitbit as a part of a health group he's in and doesn't want it, so he's sending it to me! I thought a bit about getting one but they're expensive and I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of it. I've been trying to get into better shape recently so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I've been a lot better recently about replying to people in a timely matter.
 
Finally finished reading my first Star Wars Novel!

Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray was a very enjoyable read even to a person who is not exactly a Star Wars fan…then again I do love me some Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi!

Now I am looking at buying an older book series from the late 90s and early 2000s based on the early days of that duo called The Jedi Apprentice series.

What can I say? I enjoy books!
