Writing this summary post while it's gray and rainy outside. Very appropriate for December, I guess. I want to take a nap 😅
Anyway, here's a few things:
I spent most of my evenings this week watching the rest of Turn A Gundam. I really enjoyed the series!! It was on par with G-witch in terms of the ending (a sweet, optimistic one), so I was glad for that! I want to write a standalone post this week to go more in-depth with my thoughts on the series. But overall, it was just a really entertaining series with a good mix of thoughtful commentary and fun moments.
I'm devastated that there are only 17 fics for this fandom on ao3 😭
***
Did a little bit of fic reading this week, focusing on some Power Rangers (2017 movie) fics. I enjoyed this Trini and Zack friendship fic and also this Trini-centric trimberly fic
I think I'm gonna try to put a dent in my to-read list this week, so hopefully I'll have a variety of fandoms to rec next week.

Made a short post about my fandom tree earlier this week.

The live action Yu Yu Hakusho series premieres on December 14! (So soon!!) Netflix released another trailer and some character profile videos a few days ago. All the links are here in this ANN article
I'm still very excited about this series! I read that it's only 5 episodes though, so I'm hoping the story doesn't feel too rushed.
Mostly, this has just reignited my love for Kurama. I feel like I'm reliving 2005 all over again 😂
***
Music stuff!
It's just a few hsj videos as they continue to promote their new album. These were good performances though, and it was nice to see a backing band too. A rarity for these guys.
I'm too lazy right now to type out the song titles, so you just get links to song one and song two and song three 😅

Had a fun time but am extremely tired after attending two parties this week. First was the annual Christmas party for the local chamber of commerce. It's always nice to see a lot of people I often run into for work, but since it's a Christmas party, we don't have to actually talk about work 😁
The second was a baby shower for my cousin. My brother and I made the trek up to Virginia on Saturday for it. Usually I hate these kinds of parties, but since it was family, it wasn't too bad because I knew most of the people there. Also the food was EXCELLENT and they even gave us to-go containers to take home. I will never say no to free food!!
I'm hoping, however, for a quieter week this week. All this socializing has wiped me out. I should probably do some chores around the house today, but I'd rather stay comfy on the couch. Oh well.
Wishing everyone a restful week ahead!
