Fridaze 038

I've genuinely missed blogging consistently, and have been trying to prioritize some time to chat with you all. It's Friday again, which means another Fridaze. This was a nice and slow week. It gave me the time to recharge in a way I haven't really been able to do.

Wednesday

J is a huge fan of the game WoW (World of Warcraft), and a new expansion has come out. Which means, that I've had more time to relax exactly how I want to. There was no need to compromise on what to watch. He wasn't too keen on watching Wednesday with me, so when he told me he was going to spend most of the weekend playing WoW, I knew I would take advantage and watch the first season of Wednesday.

People have been raving about this show, but I still kept my expectations low. You don't know how many times, people overhype a show, and when I get the chance to watch it myself, I'm left underwhelmed. I think it was a cute show, and I definitely enjoyed the mystery/spooky aspects of the show. Was it my favorite show of 2022? No. But I enjoyed it, and will for sure watch season 2. Have any of you watched it? What are your thoughts?

More Pokemon Scarlet

J had been binging this, and I had fallen so so behind. I'm think I'm a little less than half way through the game, and have about 30 hours of gameplay at the moment. I got much further this past weekend! Since I spend more time reading throughout the weekday instead of playing, it's been taking me a while to finish. But I'll finish it eventually!

It's definitely a bit clunky and glitchy, but I'm still really enjoying it. I hope they put more effort in the next open world Pokemon game though.

2 Books from my book Goal

I've been rereading The Cruel Prince lately. I originally read the series on my kindle, but when I saw they had the trilogy book set on sale on Amazon, I knew I wanted them for myself. Since they've come in, I've been enjoying rereading and annotating the book.

I have to say, I think I like The Cruel Prince more this time around! I don't know if it's because I know what's going to happen, so certain quotes speak out to me more or what. But there's something so comforting about rereading a book you've read before.

I also like rereading books, because I don't feel as tempted to stay up all night trying to finish it!

Luca

This week, Luca's been sleeping over (he normally stays over J's) since J's traveling for work. It's been a bit of a handful having him all day, especially without the help from J, but it's been really nice too.

He's also expected to spend half the week at my house next week as well!

Starting Demon Slayer

Since J's been traveling, I've been watching Demon Slayer. It's something him and my sister, Sofia, both hype up a lot. But since they've already watched it, they don't really want to re-watch it with me.

Which is fine, because this week and a half of him traveling means I can watch it all! I'm about 20 episodes in, and I'm really enjoying it. It's super good. I don't know if I like it more than My Hero, but I still have a lot of the show left to watch. What are your thoughts on Demon Slayer?

Coffee in bed

These past two weekends have been super slow, in a good way. All too often, I wake up on the weekends and have to rush somewhere. It makes me appreciate the slow weekends so much more. I've been lounging in bed, and doing absolutely nothing productive. It feels amazing. J has surprised me twice by waking me up with my favorite Starbucks coffee (at the moment, it's a PSL, but it's usually a Brown Sugar Oat Milk shaken espresso). It's such a pleasant surprise, and as someone who appreciates a delicious cup of coffee in the morning, it's the perfect way to start my Saturday/Sunday morning.
