Made it back from Japan a few days ago! Bought, among other things, some journals. Gonna try to keep a paper journal for awhile, so i'll probably be visiting here even less frequently than I already do. That said...
I got a chance to play UFO 50 today! I was interested in it when it released a month (?) ago, but decided to wait for it to release on console. Today though, I was at my public library, and they have this really cool thing that's like a gaming pc with a new game on it every month you can just play for free! It probably resets every month on the dot, so I don't know if I'll be able to come back and play it before the month ends, but I had fun playing it for about an hour! I really liked the turn based strategy where you kill alien bugs. Definitely confirms my plans to buy it when it gets released for console. Probably will get it on playstation because the switch is such a dinosaur at this point, and I think I'm out of storage anyways.
Oh, but while I was in Japan I did get some switch games. The exchange rate is very favorable for Americans right now, so I bought the new zelda game for ~40 USD, plus a used copy of paper mario ttyd for ~30. The switch is region free and will auto play foreign carts in your console's language, so I don't even need to know any Japanese for them! Highly reccommended strat if you happen to be in the market for switch games and are going to japan soon (wow, that's a really specific demographic lol).

My flight is tomorrow. I was thinking recently, and it's been just about ten years on the dot since I've wanted to visit this country. You'd probably guess which one pretty easily, haha. Well, I'm quite glad the currency is weaker than my own at the moment. I'm gonna do so much shopping! That is, if I can survive this flight. I've flown before, but never internationally. It's going to be a lot. I saved some interesting crochet stitch tutorials though, and I have lots of movies downloaded and ebooks borrowed, so I should be fine.

Got a new laptop! It feels so nice to have a laptop with a screen that works and one that isn't the unbelievabley shitty and slow loaner I was using before. Keys feel nice, and my q key works this time!!! Now all I need is a nice long trip on redbubble or something totie it all together. Probably won't do that for awhile though on account of a very expensive vacation I'm taking later this month. Maybe I'll buy some stickers while I'm there? This vacation is literally all I can think about. It's somewhere I've deeply wanted to visit since I was a child, and I still can't really believe it's finally happening! I guess my one fear is getting sick or something within the time before I leave but god willing that won't happen lol.

Look at me, coming here and making this new entry on the first of the month! I won't be able to keep up a streak but at least i've got the page up and ready. Anyways, I finished cult of the lamb today-at least I triggered the credits. There's some postgame stuff but I think I'm gonna force myself to put it down for good. I did enjoy the game quite a bit but as I mentioned earlier it has some addictive qualitites lol.
