Yesterday I learned that there’s a Thunderbirds anime from the 80’s.
Apparently Japan really loved The Thunderbirds and made their own interpretation.
The name is wild though, it’s called “TechnoVoyager”.
Well it’s about the romance of machines and technology, so I am not surprised Japan loved it.
Tsukimichi introduced the bi- ahem, the heroes… which was great, but the episode overall kind of sucked I think.
They spent a full episode going over the summoning of both the other heroes and assembling their parties so the pacing was a little slow.
Don’t get me wrong, I completely appreciate world building, but this felt like a lazy way to handle it. It’s clear that this was episode 2 instead of episode 1 because they wanted to lead with the protagonist as well.
The one thing they got right though was conveying the female heroes complete sense of entitlement to success, I hated her way of thinking in the novel. At least playboy hero was more a victim of circumstance.
The new oven I bought my parents for Christmas has been installed now.
We’re still getting used to some of the minor differences but otherwise it’s been really simple.
Well, ovens are ovens I suppose, and it’s not like we got an over the top smart one.
I do like the new one though.
And all the quirks we’re finding are more likely actually us having to unlearn the quirks of our super old oven.
I slept horribly last night.
I woke up and felt tired, so I set a slightly later alarm.
But then it went off and I still felt tired.
So I set a slightly later alarm again.
But then it went off and I still felt tired.
This repeated for about three hours of extra sleep…
It was not good.
I have been doing this editing while watching a futurists video on the ethics of fictional concepts…
I don’t know what possessed me to make this decision, because it’s very stupid of me.
Because I am focusing more on the scifi knowledge than the editing.
I need to make sure to reschedule a meeting from this week.
They’ve moved it really really far into the early morning.
I’m normally asleep then, but that’s not actually the problem.
The problem is my free bus pass isn’t active that early in the morning, because it considers that work and school hours… I can’t use it for free then…
I need to make them move it later!
Today my glasses decided they hate me.
For some reason at some point today, they just got really uncomfortable to wear just behind the ear.
Well, I’ve been wearing glasses for about twenty years now so I’m used to events like this, but it still just annoys me.
Anyway, it’s almost 4am. I totally forgot to prepare this chapter.
You read it the same day I edit it this time… that’s not good.
Anyway.
Here it comes!
I got an angry email today about missing a deadline for something, but when I checked the deadline it said the 15th?
So, now I am royally confused.
I missed a deadline that’s four days away?
Okay then!
Well, I’m going to just upload the document I have to placate them, even if I wanted to do one more run over it before I sent it in a couple of days.
Just the way the cookie crumbles.
After I finish this chapter I am just going to go to bed…
My bed is warm.
It benefits from both being a high bed and the fact I have thick covers.
I can bundle myself like an anime girl.
I feel like my fingers are about to freeze off, in my own room no less.
I guess this is what happens when your window gets stuck in Vent mode because the hinge is unaligned…
Such is my misfortune.
I even turned my radiator on the highest setting I have ever had it today!
Goes to show how cold it is this winter…
It’s actually below freezing right now.
You know how fictional nations sometimes have some of the best patriotic music?
Some franchises that immediately come to mind:
Final Fantasy
Ace Combat
Space Battleship Yamato
Arknights
…
You get the idea…
I suppose it’s because they’re new anthems they can make them more suited for modern audiences, as opposed to our historical hand-me-down ones that tend to be rather dull?
I can summarise today as “The Mysterious Case of the Sneezing Curse”.
Yes.
I have been sneezing like clockwork today.
It’s extremely strange.
I don’t think I have a cold, considering I just recovered from an illness over Christmas…
Maybe there’s some dust in my room because I haven’t opened my window this winter so far?
Seems most likely!
