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: March 2022
We made it through March! I quite like this month because the weather is improving (we’ll ignore the snow yesterday) and it’s my birth month, so I get…
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…
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 #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…
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…
Reading Log: March 2024
March has been a pretty busy month, between my birthday and a weekend trip away as well as work starting to get busier there hasn’t been as much…
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: March 2020
Man the world has changed a lot over the course of a month. Now we’re in lockdown because of the Coronavirus. I hope by the time we get…
Reading Log: March 2019
The third times the charm or something like that! We’re now into April and I’m still sat here writing this log, so things are going well. As always…
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…
Listening/reading log #26 (December 2021)
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 #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 #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 #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 #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 #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 #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 #20 (May 2021)
Damn, 20 of these posts. This feels like a landmark somehow, though that should really be marked at 24 instead, shouldn’t it? I don’t have anything special planned…
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,…
March 2021 Manga Reading Log
Here’s all the manga I read during my spring break!
Reading Log: October 2022
After a reasonably quiet September, things got a bit nuts in October between work, flu jab, covid jab and then going to SLA. But hopefully, I’ve managed to…
Reading Log: December 2022
Final reading log of 2022! This time I can add in some fun stats and charts to see how my backlog and reading have been going this year.…
Reading Log: June 2022
Given the backlog went up last month, my bare minimum this month is to have reduced the count of that. Let’s see what happened.
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: 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: January 2022
It’s the first reading log of the year and after making some sizeable purchases this month, I’m hoping I’ve managed to read away some of my January sins.…

Into one of the hottest months of the year and busiest times at work, but hopefully despite all that I’ve made some progress on keeping that backlog down!…
Reading Log: September 2022
Out of the busy season and into a relatively calmer month. I feel like I read less this month than usual, perhaps because I was playing Soul Hackers…
Reading Log: November 2022
Almost Christmas time again aaaa. November has been a quieter month on the whole, so for once I feel like I’ve read more steadily than usual. Let’s get…
Reading Log: April 2022

Reading Log: September 2020
Now we’re headed into October the weather is starting to be colder, which is the perfect time to sit around and binge books! The amount of books in…
Reading Log: November 2023
Christmas looms and it has already snowed before we even hit December 1st. The year has rapidly run away, not helped by this month being busy with Scotland…
Reading Log: November 2019
November went by in a total blur and I don’t feel like it should be almost Christmas again. I still have books from my birthday to read and…
Reading Log: February 2024
We’re at the end of February, already! A quiet month for me all told, but some exciting stuff coming up in March. With that said let’s jump into…
Reading Log: August 2023
August is that killer time of year where work is insane, it’s too hot to think and nothing gets done. Well, actually this year the weather has been…
Reading Log: January 2023
The first log of the year! This year I’ve decided to change things up a bit and split all the one-shots I read into a separate count since…
Reading Log: July 2019
Now truly into the depths of Summer I return for my July reading log. Somehow I’ve avoided melting into a puddle. As usual here’s a link to my…
Reading Log: December 2021
It’s 2022! A new year begins, but before I can worry about what kind of things I’ll be reading this year it’s time to find out what I…
Reading Log: May 2023
