As we get closer to summer (and all the joys and terrors that come with it), I find myself having a bit of a spending spree. What can I do when the Soul of Chogokin line announces a ton of new products for its 50th anniversary?! There is DX Showa Mechagodzilla, Shinkalion, Tryon 3 (aka the first of the SoC series), and it doesn't even stop there. I can't buy them all, but I'm always tempted to do so.
I also started playing Elden Ring this month. I don't know if I'll give it a full review, but it inspired me to at least write a post or two related to it.
This past month also saw the birthday of hololive'La+ Darkness! I decided to celebrate by pulling out my old ink and brushes and painting a quick portrait. I used to post more art to Ogiue Maniax, but that's been mostly forgotten for a long time. I keep trying to convince myself to do it again and again, but we'll see.

I kept thinking about furthering my language studies, but I wasn't fully committed yet. I'm considering trying one of the language partner/tutor sites but I don't know where to start.
