Work and catching up with things
Aug. 27th, 2023 01:37 pmAgain, just like last time, I've been busy again..and in a good way! My freelancing project has been very slowly picking up. Because of my circumstances, I'm not fit to work outside of my home environment. It's nice that I am able to work at home, set my own schedule and still earn a little bit of money while working on stuff that allows me to be creative. Not sure if I'll be making as much as I would like to by the end of fall *crosses fingers*, but we shall see. As long as Bern got his job, I know we will be okay in the long run.
Recently, I found another youtube channel that's related to One Piece manga discussion. The creator had his mom, who is an English teacher, as a guest speaker. She just started reading, and her inputs on Oda's writing were interesting to listen to. I'm super jealous of the creator because he got a mom who is willing to share an interest with him by keeping up with the anime/manga. I'm so used to seeing parents who don't invest in their children's interests, so it warms up my heart by watching his channel. It was also nice hearing that she genuinely likes the story and made every note of little details throughout the first few arcs. They treated the whole discussion like a book club discussion...I can't wait to hear more from them.
I finally started an episode of the tv series What We Do In the Shadows. So far, I'm loving it-- it's amusing! I find it hard to get attached to random mockumentary shows outside of Abott's Elementary and Flight of the Conchords, so I think the writing seems very clever. Enunciating lines while wearing vampire fangs is not easy, I think the actors nailed their speeches.
Oh, and I finally got around to doing full cosplay (safely at home) once again. Sometimes, it's just fun to dress up. I'm at this point in my life where I'm pretty comfortable with my body and not give a f**k from the opinions by others. The life clock is ticking and I want to be able to have fun with it. I made a separate social account just so I to share my outfits, photography, sewing templates and crafting ideas between a few of my cosplayer friends. It's nice to find a little corner to nerd out with people who actually cares. Hopefully I'll be able to build a community based off of the fandoms that I like? If not, I'm super happy with my very little-and-cozy following.
As for the tropical storm (from Hurrican Hillary), at least I was in part of LA that wasn't too bad. No blackouts or power outages. It seems like our hot weather evaporated everything out the following day. Unfortunately, I've read that our neighboring regions got the unpleasant end of it.
This One Piece drone show at the Santa Monica Pier looks awesome!
