Lucky enough for random pokemon generator to give me my boy Steelix. Decided to use the gray brush pens again but more thoughtfully. It took forever. I used to have white highlights to try to have him look shiny but they just looked wrong so I filled them in. CAN'T BELIEVE I FAILED TO CURSE STEELIX

Weird day. Expected to have to PUSH my boss to move the autistic student out of my drama-ooze group but he immediately agreed. I argued with some fedora-redditor or something on a stranger's dead aniblog over Clannad (I remember nothing). And people genuinely found one of my paintings really cool.

Ah, that feel when a torrent for something somewhat rare feels extremely alive but the next day you discover that there's actually just a million people stuck at the same 60% and nobody's left who has the remaining 40%.

It's still at the same percent, I'm so sad. If this torrent doesn't complete, then I guess this is truly unavailable outside of censored dub forms. I DID look for used DVD sets even on secondhand Japanese sites, so I don't mean solely through piracy, either.

But it has like, gorilla Char, maybe. The internet is letting this handsome space gorilla down!

This is probably the funniest thing I've ever done in terms of art to me. I call this masterpiece "In Porquegon We Trust." Because I could always trust Porygon2 with Eviolite when playing Pokemon Showdown. Always. It still feels ridiculous even with the context though.

I want to deface more currency but I don't think doing it to a dollar will ever be funny again and I have no ideas for the other random things I have lying around. I might be able to think of something for Canada, I guess, but I don't know if any ink or paint would actually settle in to their bills.

So odd that there are people stuck in the internet of 15 years ago. Someone commented on a comment I made on an anime blog 15 years ago about how Clannad After Story is stupid+bad and called me illiterate out of nowhere over a criticism I never made. BUT SURE I'LL FIGHT OVER A SHOW I BARELY REMEMBER

And for clarification, I said the ENDING was bad, and this person did not comment 15 years ago but today. On a comment I made 15 years ago.

When you try to wipe the eraser crap off of a piece of watercolor paper using the edge of your mattress and then you discover that now your paper is absolutely FULL of cat hair and then you have to use a lint roller on a piece of paper... I'm glad people don't watch me in my daily life.

AND NOW I SUDDENLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY PAPER AND I DISCOVERED THE CARDBOARD I HAVE IT ON (MY PAINTS ARE ALL MADE WITH HEAVY METALS :)) ALSO I WAS DOING VERY WET PAINT) IS ACTUALLY BUCKLING, CAUSING THE PAPER (STUCK TO IT FROM WETNESS) TO BUCKLE ANYWAY

My addiction to whale shark gray (okay, fine, "payne's gray") backfired because lightening it is actually very difficult. Apparently I've never tried to do this before. BUT IT'S FINE, EVERYTHING'S FINE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

I'm gonna tell my boss I can't be making sure these other kids stop causing drama (and lying about who did what later to cover for themselves and their friends) if I'm also making sure the autistic student isn't doing anything dangerous/messy/inappropriate.

I did that three times already and got to some kind of likely truth literally once, and only because nearly all the students were cramped in an area between 2 sets of locked entrance doors. And it is extra annoying when someone (don't know if it was him or not) decided that autistic student doesn't

need a one on one staff member (which is what I did last year), either because they can't find enough staff or they just didn't wanna pay me the higher rate for a whopping two hours.

I'm gonna tell my boss I can't be making sure these other kids stop causing drama (and lying about who did what later to cover for themselves and their friends) if I'm also making sure the autistic student isn't doing anything dangerous/messy/inappropriate.

If he tells me what I need to do is talk to the students one on one and do investigations to get to the truth so I can do writeups again instead of doing anything that would make it easier for me to know who's doing what (like not distracting me from the whole group with ONE student) Imma be mad.

Ebay needs to fix its system. If I order something as a guest, I have seemingly no way to rate the seller, and I'm still getting messages from the seller being like "a-are you happy with your order? i-if you are, and... and it's not too much of a bother, could you pwease give me a positive rating?"

I feel bad! I am happy with the order! I know the prodding for feedback is automated in this case but I do want to give them a positive rating! But I was too lazy to log in when I placed the order, and now ebay is putting us both in a prison of sad.

"Do not wash. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean." FUCK YOU IT'S GETTING WASHED AND TUMBLE DRIED SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE YOU LEAVE ME NO OPTIONS

This fabric I was going to use to make a gift for my brother/his baby/except it's a drifloon and like all drifloons it is NOT chld safe has an enormous crease in it from how it was packaged. It's 100% rayon. WHAT DO I DO TO DESTROY THE CREASE IT'S NOT GOING AWAY

I put out a bunch of movies/movie sets and games that I don't want but are completely not worth selling and only two or three of the movies have been taken but someone took ALL the games. They even took Skylanders Giants for the Wii. Was that actually a game worth playing? I thought it was slop...

I like stopping at chapters ending with 5 or 0 and it's a nice amount of book with most, but I am being completely failed by this one. The chapter after 53 is accidentally labeled 43. The chapter after that is 25. I do not think there's any story reason for this.

OH YEAH ALSO SINCE I WAS JUST CHILLING IN DAISO'S BACK ROOM WHILE THE END OF THE DAY THINGS WERE HAPPENING (my shift officially ended at 8 but the lead didn't wanna be there alone and I like them so I said I'd hang out) I KNOW YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL USING CREDIT CARDS ON CRAP YOU DON'T NEED

I am going to shame you! Stop using credit for everything! Stop being addicted to shopping! Stop being addicted to gathering up precious ~points~! Stop trying to "build credit" with crazy 20% interest debts! The amount spent with credit cards was over three times higher than debit and cash combined.

Also I don't know if you want the points shit guys even my debit card has dumb points nonsense. You don't need a credit card for that.

My mother keeps asking me what I'd want for Christmas (apparently she almost bought me a Switch 2 but fortunately decided to poke around about my interest before spending the money). And it's hard for me to give her ideas, but everything I can think of that I want is difficult for normies to obtain.

Just looked up how much Switch 2s even cost and uh, yeah, I'mma just tell her to just go ahead and buy me a COUPLE of the big expensive lego sets.

She told me she spent a lot on the gifts for my brother and his girlfriend so I guess I shouldn't be surprised she was looking to drop that much for me.

It's like I have to actually do window shopping (which I kind of hate) just so I can discover something that I can tell her I want so she can buy it for me. Which feels very stupid. I could also just not window shop, not seek out new things to want. WE DON'T NEED DESIRE DESIRE IS PAIN

I'm probably going to solve the problem by telling her to just buy a large lego set of her choice because no matter what it is I'll enjoy building it, and then she can still surprise me.

Learning Daiso responded to our assistant store manager stepping down by saying we can't hire another ASM and instead all the team leads will be trained to do those duties (but of course will still not get full time hours and will not get ASM-level pay) just makes me more happy today was my last day

I wish I could say my store manager sucked and was evil but all of the awful decisions are from higher up. Literally all of them. And half of them are being selectively applied. Like, some Daiso stores in our district get to keep their self checkout. We don't. I bet other stores can hire ASMs too.

Put a lot of links in my profile. Most are pointless but it's good for me because of my ridiculous habit of compartmentalizing everything I do on the internet, which I'm trying to obliterate. Imagine how cool it would be to appreciate EVERYTHING you've done instead of mentally segregating it all.

Okay yes I didn't link to the tumblr I fansubbed off of before ragequitting and I didn't link to the wordpress for the OTHER sub group that I ragequit only temporarily so we actually completed the project. IT'S HARD TO SHOW MY WORK GUYS, EVEN IF IT'S GROUP WORK SO I CAN BLAME OTHERS FOR ANY BADNESS

I admitted it all in my actual masterpiece of an anime blog post but it's still hard to do it here because people might actually read it then. Nobody reads my anime blog anymore so it was safe. But people keep reading my posts here. It's scary.

OKAY BUT NOW IN THE SPECTREMAN PILOT AM I SEEING LIEK ACTUAL FOOTAGE FROM A PROTEST/RIOT/SOMETHING

Okay I am watching Silver Mask instead of Spectreman but that first screenshot is totally trying to be Zeiram, the second screenshot is horrifying, and the third is they literally set the suit on fire with the actor in it wtf.

Uh sorry correction because I remembered Zeiram is not this old, it is not trying to be Zeiram, Zeiram was trying to be IT.

Had to write incident report for JoJokid because I'm concerned of him and a different group of friends are just gonna keep going at each other and gotta talk to him about that on Monday, but still, I shall not betray him. I have completed my task, I have watched the new Steel Ball Run episode.

Barbatos from Tales of Destiny 2 was yet another character Mutsumi Inomata took inspiration from professional wrestlers to design. Apparently Barbatos's model (she doesn't name, but I need to find out) was from among a bunch of wrestler figures she bought in America.

Just because I'm assuming it must have been a very popular American wrestler, it must have been from the WWF (I know it's WWE now but listen, I stopped watching when they had to change the name), and at the time she would have been designing for ToD2, I was into wrestling. I say it was Kane.

I mean he's got the long curly hair. Even has the same angle to his hair from his mask that Barbatos gets from animehair. I'M ON TO SOMETHING RIGHT

OKAY MORE HINTS. HIS MODEL WRESTLER DID NOT HAVE BLUE HAIR, BUT HIS HAIR WAS LONG AND HE WAS A HEEL

The boy who peed on my pants+floor just curling up next to me and laying his head on my arm while I transcribe this column in this mook. It's so lovable I hate him for making me forgive him before the smell of the carpet cleaner has even faded, before the laundry has even been done.

If you don't know that I'm talking about a cat this actually is a way stranger post.

Okay I know Hammer's Dracula is pretty famous but between that mention here and his obsession with Wild Cards, Sho Aikawa really does consume a lot of English media, huh? I'm also getting the sense I should watch Spectreman.

My brain was like "SPRAY ALPINE YOU GET TO USE THE PRESSURE SPRAYER IT WILL BE SO FUN" and then I spent an hour waiting for it all to dry while the cats freaked out in the bedrooms. I hate myself for thinking even for a second that it would be fun.

Ten seconds after spraying a carpet cleaner on the carpet where the pants were to clean up the cat piss, I regret that I did not simply tolerate the cat piss smell. I forget how nasty this stuff smells.
