Written 11/2

Okay, these words seem a little small for some reason? Maybe not. Anyway, that was from a list I had on my blog from forever ago. I made it into a draft post so I would have a copy of it. It is obviously out of date. I have not read the Stormlight Archive recently enough to do a remake justice, so I won't try. The top 5 is pretty accurate, though. Wayne is lower now. Wax is higher. Galladon is higher. Gemmel shouldn't even be on there. Raoden being higher than Hrathen and Hrathen being higher than Sarene is accurate, although how far up/back they are on the list, I'm not sure about. Tensoon is definitely up there. I'm not sure about the rest.


Happy almost New Years!


(NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD LIST AND IS NOT MY CURRENT OPINION)

Anime Pt 2 (finally)

Written 11/2

That title was written in June of 2017. Obviously I never did get around to actually making that second part to my post about anime.
I was going to write a whole bunch about tons of really good anime that I had watched. I'll just list a few good ones.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Your Lie in April
Erased
Mob Psycho 100
Ping Pong: The Anime
Haikyuu!!

All of those have my fullest recommendation. The original Fullmetal Alchemist is also very good.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, if you want something longer and more epic/action-oriented (it has 64 episodes).
Your Lie in April (my current favorite anime), if you want some romance and comedy and some other spoiler stuff. (22 episodes)
Erased, if you want a mystery with some thriller type stuff (12 episodes).
Mob Psycho 100, if you want awesomeness (I'm not sure how else to describe it write now). (25 episodes, with more to come)
Haikyuu!! if you want a really good sports anime (60 episodes (I think) with more to come)
Ping Pong: The Anime, if you want a really good sports anime that isn't actually all too too wrapped up in the sport itself and it's difficult to describe, but it's amazing (11 episodes)

Fullmetal Alchemist is a bit more violet than the other ones. So if you don't want any of that, then skip that one. (Mob Psycho isn't really violet, but it does have some action fight scenes that I could see some people consider to be violent).

At max, they only have a few seconds of inappropriate clothing. All of those anime are clean, imo.



There are several other anime, which I love, but I'm not going to recommend right now for one of two reasons:
1. The story will most likely never finish/get another season.
2. I watched it a while ago, so I can't guarantee that it's fully appropriate.


This post turned out to be longer than I intended it to be. Too bad it's about a topic that (out of the people who read my blog), only I really care about (Eric being the next closest). It would have probably been more fun for the reader(s), if it had been about a topic more pertinent to them, but whatever.

Pez

Written 11/2

So I'm now going to go through my old drafts. I only have about 9, I think. This one was last edited August of 2016. It was going to be about this Pez collection that Eric and I got. I was going to add pictures and stuff, but that's not going to happen.
When we went to Oregon many years back, there were a lot of Pez dispensers at garage sales. And so we got a whole bunch of them. Most of them were one dollar a piece, I think?
We had a semi-plan that we would sell them many years down the road. We'll see if that ever happens.

Filler

Written 11/2
You know, I had half-plans to make a blog post for each week. 104 blog posts isn't too too many, but at the same time it's a lot.
With there being so many, some are going to be fillers like this one. Or I'll have to settle for once every two weeks or something. We'll see.


Yesterday (December 7th) was my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!!

The Card (sadness)

Written 11/2
So we actually don't know where The Card is currently located. Which sucks.

If you don't know what The Card is let me briefly explain:
Joseph and I started playing through every Dominion suggested set (including expansions, of course), and we recorded every win on The Card. (Most of them were two player games, but some of them included any combination of Sarah, Ben, and Becky (although never all three at once)).

The Card is important. And we don't know where it is.

Luckily, Joseph thinks he remembers what the current set count is. He won every single Seaside suggested set (which is sad, because Seaside is my favorite expansion). We pretty much split the rest (obviously he went won some more sometimes, and I won some more other times, but overall they allegedly came out even).
We both know Joseph is ahead currently. Joseph believes he is up by exactly the number of suggested sets that exist in Seaside. He is up 6 games. The last game we recorded on The Card was the last suggested set from the expansion Adventures.

If we do not find The Card, when the time comes, we will probably just make another card, and assume that Joseph's memory is correct.


Oh, and apparently this is going to be published on December 1st. Happy Birthday Hannah!! Happy Birthday Tyler Joseph!
