Listening/reading log #30 (May 2022)
Aaaagh. That describes the last two months. I’m somehow simultaneously worked to hell and behind on my work. Makes me miss my government job a little bit, when…
Reading Log: May 2021
This month I started project Attack on Backlog, which I’m hoping will see me get through all the light novels I’ve been stockpiling over the last few months.…

Sorry for the late post again; work has been drowning me, but every time this kind of rush happens it gets easier to deal with. Maybe this is…
Listening/reading log #16 (January 2021)
Here’s the usual month-ending post. One day early because of my very inconvenient schedule coming up, but if anyone posts anything astounding today that I end up missing,…
Listening/reading log #21 (July 2021)
Another month has passed. Two months in this case, since I skipped June. But I guess I picked a good time to return. Since many of us are…
Listening/reading log #23 (September 2021)
I’m tired. Do you ever feel like you keep walking even though you have no strength left, just because you have to? Maybe that’s the human condition. But…
Listening/reading log #25 (November 2021)
Turns out 2021 was a fucked year too. How about that. Just as we get to the end of it, we’re beaten down by yet another virus variant.…
Listening/reading log #19 (April 2021)
Another month gotten through somehow. And no matter how much else I have to do, I’ll keep going here on the site. For now, let’s get to the…
Listening/reading log #24 (October 2021)
Late again. I’ve been going through shit as usual, but that’s no excuse. All the more reason for me to post. First up: music. Juice (Ryo Kawasaki, 1976)…
Listening/reading log #22 (August 2021)
Another month spent watching the world fucking burn. I mostly spent it working, and the parts I didn’t I spent mostly watching anime and doing other degenerate kinds…
Listening/reading log #17 (February 2021)
Sorry for being late this month, work and all that. I’ve been doing these posts long enough now that I had to look up which number this one…
Listening/reading log #18 (March 2021)
Sorry for the short break between posts and for not being very active in general lately. I’ve had a mountain of work to get through since the beginning…
Reading Log: May 2022
Another month goes by, my backlog only grows and it feels like little progress is being made. But let’s find out if that’s true or not! Bold =…
Reading Log: May 2019
We’re now five months into the year! Time is going by too fast for my liking and I feel like I’ve read a lot less than usual, but…
Reading Log: May 2020
Time is all mashed together at this point and somehow it’s hard to believe we’re already five months through the year! Here’s what I read in the month…
Reading Log: May 2023
It has been a busy month! Lots of new manga and light novels arriving, and work picking up again. I’m hoping to have read away a little bit…
Listening/reading log #13 (October 2020)
I’m writing this a few days before possible absolute freakout time here in the States. We’ll probably be okay though. And if we aren’t, then we aren’t. Let’s…
Listening/reading log #31 (June 2022)
Everything is shit and we’re all doomed. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the music and the posts from around the community as usual,…
Listening/reading log #14 (November 2020)
Well look, it’s December already and cold as fuck suddenly. I like winter better than summer, but that still doesn’t mean I like below freezing temperatures. I’m not…
Listening/reading log #12 (September 2020)
No, I didn’t forget — the monthly recap is here. And this marks a full year of them. It’s weird to think, I had the idea for this…
Listening/reading log #29 (March 2022)
Usual apologies for the extremely late post. Otherwise, as far as the news goes, the world is even more fucked than ever. With impending doom coming ever closer,…
Listening/reading log #15 (December 2020)
We’re at the end of the year, finally — now for 2021. Not that changing the year by one number makes that much of a difference in reality,…
Listening/reading log #28 (February 2022)
Time for the end-of-month post a bit late again. But what a fucking month it was. The invasion of Ukraine isn’t something I’ve commented on here or elsewhere…
Listening/reading log #27 (January 2022)
Well, that wasn’t the start to the new year I wanted. But work piled on as usual. Fuck all this talk about “work/life balance” and de-stressing. As far…
Reading Log: April 2021
Another month, another reading log~ This past month I decided to go all-in on binging How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, so it’ll be interesting to see…

Reading Log: September 2021

Reading Log: August 2021

Reading Log: July 2021

Reading Log: March 2021
Another month of the year down! However, March includes my birthday so it’s a pretty bad time of the year in terms of my backlog growth. Let’s find…

Reading Log: August 2022
This month has continued to be busy at work, but despite that, some silly part of me agreed to a bet with a friend where I need to…
Reading Log: March 2023
Three months into the year, unbelievably. A difficult time for manga fans in the UK as Kodansha revealed US exclusive K Manga. Although I suppose that at least…
Reading Log: August 2020
August has been a busy month as I finally returned to work properly and therefore had more money to irresponsibly spend on new books… Let’s see what I…
Reading Log: July 2023
