Apr. 6th, 2024 02:23 pmThis week has been a mixture of rain, sunny, warm and cold. Since April just started, I'm thinking of switching out my Valentine decors for a bunch of rabbit stuff... I don't know, I love my Valentine-related displays. Bern and I didn't do a whole lot for our Easter Weekend or April's Fool Day. Neither of us grew up religious (all of our childhood stuff were just cultural), and we're both way too emotionally exhausted to pull creative pranks towards our friends. Since we can't be around a lot of unmasked people, we did end up having a quiet outing after an hour of errands. We did some window shopping, people-watching, strolling & getting lunch from a windows-only food joint. There were so many thrift stores around-- we didn't do any actual shopping, it's just nice seeing them around. Sometimes we just like having a change of scenery.
I liked that they had a sticker machine in front of a second-hand shop. I normally don't see a whole lot of anime-related stuff on this street. The artwork (picture on the right) touches my heart. Unfortunately, I don't think very many people are health-conscious at the moment as they were in the year 2020
Just appreciating the store lettering for Mystic Museum & Halloween Town.
Bern and I ended up getting teriyaki bowls at one of those windows-only & outdoors-only seating places.

So that was pretty much our highlight of the week!
Other than that, I've binged to 49 episodes of Arsenal Military Academy. I like to describe the plot line similar to Mulan's story, a girl who cuts her hair and disguises herself as a young man to an all boys military school but set in early 20th Century (1910s-1920s). Like a lot of period C-dramas, there's usually a combination of comedy, action, & romance. The costumes aren't a hundred percent historically accurate (very common with films in general), but it looks as if the stylist department really had loads of fun. They really did took the creative liberties to make the costumes & makeup look nice. Besides the lead character, there are a handful of other strong women characters (one being the boss villain of the series), loads of teamwork and character development. Most of the supporting side characters were likable to watch. Of course a lot of gun wielders, since the series involves 1910s assassins, but at the same time, you'll still find some martial arts scenes-- they're pretty sick af. Just make sure to watch the series on Viki instead of Youtube because not all of the episodes are available.
