1. Have you gotten everything done that you had hoped to do during the first half of 2024?
I guess! I sorted out my Philhealth so I could get a cyst out of my body (years overdue) and not have to pay for all of it. Did both of these in February! And I finally finished 我五行缺你... Also in February.

2. Did anything exciting or unexpected happen to you during the first half of 2024?
Good: A number of college friends came back briefly to visit so we had a couple of reunions.
Bad: One of places we reunited in was a wake (a friend lost a family member).

3. What big plans do you have for the second half of 2024?
Going to the dentist at least two more times. :(

4. Have you taken, or are you planning, a vacation this year?
Yeah, but I don't like talking about WiPs, so...

5. Have you ever wanted to be one of the people writing and posting these questions?
Haha no.

TV/Books:

橋頭樓上: Finished chapter 4, which I regretted starting at night. I had to stop halfway and continue in the morning because it spooked me so badly even though nothing bad was happening onscreen. Excellent thriller/horror so far, as much as I'm really distressed and afraid for the child character.

Almost done with Time Concert: Old Friends—am really enjoying the cover choices in ep 12, mostly because a number of them are actually familiar to me + are duets. IDK what I'll be putting on as background noise next... I've finished the Little Mushroom audio drama too so I have nothing lined up. ;__;

Started The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House and so far really enjoying it!!! Ensemble cast + girls + homey food. ♥ It's always funny watching these chill little slice-of-life jdramas because I keep bracing myself for, like, character deaths or life-altering disasters. Also the main girls' relationship this made me want to continue the Haikyuu anime because everything is a sports anime trope to me hahaha.



Twitter things:

This is technically a Tiktok, I just found it through Twitter: Out-of-touch wizard influencer shows you her loot

This kyuruZ comic about force-feeding your pets medicine. Literally me everyday with our dog!!!!! (RIP)
