Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.16)

It's Friday now, as I start to write this. I am off work, the first of many fridays off, because i never really go on vacations and have vacation time to use up. Since I'm the only one in my local office, I can't really take like, a month off or something. I don't know that I would want to. Hell I can't really justify to myself taking a week off to just do nothing. If I were going out of town I could, but staying in town feels dodgy. Besides, I rather like my 4 day work weeks. Blaugust…

Blue Sky Archives

I'm going to touch on the entire discography here for Blue Sky Archives, it's only 3 EPs, each with 3 songs, and a couple of singles. So it's effectively just, one album's worth of music. But first I want to touch on why the group is significant. It's a precursor band to one of my favorite bands, CHVRCHES. Specifically, it's one of two groups that CHVRCHES lead singer Lauren Mayberry was a part of before CHVRCHES. The albums themselves (maybe not all, but Triple-A Side for sure) were produced by Iain Cook, also of CHVRCHES. Anyway, the three EPs are,…

Water Bottle

I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more "healthy lifestyle". I've made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it's getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do workouts. One thing is drinking more water. Something that helped quite a lot with this was getting a decent water bottle, which kind of happened rather serendipitously. Occasionally, I get random, stuff, I guess, for lack of a better thing to call it from work. Sometimes…

Various Projects

Partly for my own organization (ha ha) I wanted to run down some projects I have been doing or hope to do soon. GOG Download Its taken like a week and a half, but I have finally finished downloading roughly 500 games, 2TB of files, for all of the games I own on GOG. I have even installed an played a few of them. Interestingly enough, they snap right into the GOG launcher, which is nice. Now that I've run it once I can just do an update then download to get any updates and new games once a month…

Ranma 1/2 (2024 Remake)

Netflix has recently done a remake of the classic Rumiko Takahashi series, Ranma 1/2. It feels a bit weird since there is a perfectly good existing Anime series already out there, though its from the early 90s era of anime. I believe this new series though has the selling point of being more accurate to the original 80s Manga. Its been so long since I watched the original, or read the manga, that I can't really vouch for how much more accurate it is. I can say, this new series, is quite good. The animation is really smooth, and a…
