All Aspects of Life are Rooted in Style
Update April 7, 2025 : Colour Cloud Palace can be streamed on Prime Video Shojo Anime is one of my favorite genres. Many are based of amazing mangas and light novels. Although they have plenty of source material, there compressed into one season, or canceled abruptly. On top of that, I prefer anime dubbed in... Continue Reading →
Updated March 25, 2023 One friend can change your lifeUnknown This morning, I was hunting for love quotes for a Valentine's Day inspired post. Yes, it's December, but inspiration is a funny thing. You've gotta strike while the iron is hot. The quote above reminded me of Horimiya, an anime. "Popular Hori and outcast Miyamura... Continue Reading →
Aggretsuko is on the brain. Retsuko and the gang's Final Season will release February 2023. That's only a few months away. Since I follow Aggretsuko, I see all kinds of Motivational Memes provided by Sanrio Co. In a way, it's actually Motivational Meme Monday.

I know Teen Titans Go! (TTG!) gets a lot of hate. For starters, Teen Titans Go! is more about shenanigans than fighting crime. Plus, the show dominates Cartoon Networks cable line up hourly.

(in Japanese culture, the family surname comes before the individual's name). Her father has a gambling problem that leads to eviction and abandonment. At the age of seventeen, Nanami...

When it's time to get to business, do you like a quite space or background noise? My research and writing process requires noise. No joke. Wacka Flocka Flame helped me earn my MA in American History. Sometimes, audio stimuli is not enough. I need visual stimuli too. That's how I became an Aggretsuko Fan. Back... Continue Reading →
Webtoon is my favorite self care application. I enjoy reading, but I can't read like I used too. Back in grade school, I loved getting lost in a book. As an adult, I choose not to make time for that type of reading. If I do, there is a reason for it. Those reasons are... Continue Reading →
