◇ I was out from updating for a while because midterms hit, and I suddenly had a project, paper, and three major exams to do. Still! That's all done with for now.
◇ Busy social calendar coming up! Museum and board games with friends tomorrow! And then Sunday I have a student club trip to amsterdam, community garden volunteer day, and craft guild which I definitely cannot do all three at once so I need to make a decision there. Amsterdam sounds fun but also like money, so I think maybe craft guild. Then monday night, birdhouse making with Anouk's crew, tuesday at 17:30 I'm GMing Songbirds 3e, Wednesday my floor in the dorms is doing a dinner. So I'm... somewhat! Booked solid! Feels nice but also like damn I maybe should schedule in a break at some point.
◇ Which is also to say, I don't feel bad about doing basically nothing today.
◇ Basically nothing does include naming the discord manga reading club I'm doing, though! We're calling it Luck of the Draw. Which is a joke from, of course, draw as in the illustrations in the manga. But more than that, the format of it is stolen from Random Horror Podcast #9, which is a podcast by two of the Welcome to Nightvale guys. Each week they roll two dice, one for style and one for scare, think of movies that fit the bill, watch one, and then that's the next week's film.
For manga rather than scare, I'm doing Style and Substance. Style can be things like art style, decade, demographic. Substance refers to plots, tropes, and genre.
For the first week, the roll was Shounen for style and Set in Toyko for substance. The current nominees are:
