I find the dad pretty amusing, so that helps me enjoy it more Dude should have stuck with the guitar though…

Part of it might be a cultural difference..? When I lived in Vietnam, I’d often see comedy duos/groups doing specials on TV. They would do skits and things along the lines of what’s going on in this manga. Stuff that my wife and her family found hilarious fell flat to me. It’s not that I didn’t get it. I dunno, it just didn’t make me laugh. If I showed them a Western comedy program that I liked, say The Kids in the Hall, I’d be laughing my head off and they’d probably be like, “What’s funny about this?”

Act II Hell is done. Bye bye Duriel

I sort of liked the new dude for a second, then it all went sideways. Turned out to be pretty lame. Those high school uniforms though

I like the art style of Hunters Guild, and some elements are interesting, but it’s been hard to follow. I actually enjoyed some of the most recent revelations (the book, the guild’s role as caretakers of the book, etc.) but yeah these things feel like discoveries that would be made near the end of the story. Oh well, if Candy Flurry wasn’t good enough to keep going then Hunters Guild isn’t either Wrap it up.

I’m gonna look at Show-ha Shoten! later today. The Jump app says a new chapter is coming in 30 days, but of course that doesn’t tell us how much longer it could go after that.

2021 Baseball Season AKA Pandemic Baseball: The Second Wave

Great win last night. Fried came through for them big-time. They really needed a solid start. I think Freeman stays in Atlanta, but I don’t think he’ll take too much of a hometown discount. There is already an article on The Athletic discussing 2022 World Series odds… Can we please just celebrate the 2021 season a while longer first? -
I got my Sorc as far as the Catacombs in Act I Hell. Level 70 now. Starting to progress more smoothly and easily compared to when I started Act I. Got some better gear for my character and the merc. Rune words with +skills have given my spells a nice boost, and I just made an 'Insight' polearm for the merc which has been a huge help. It grants a pretty high level Meditation aura when equipped, so I basically never run out of mana anymore. That makes life so much easier. I'll see if I can handle Andy this evening. If that goes smoothly then I'll probably run her a few more times to see if I can get some interesting drops. A SoJ or two would be lovely... edit: Andy's down Went back a few more times and got nothin' good, so we've moved on to Act II. Now that I've adjusted to immunities in Hell, things are going quite smoothly again, albeit at a slower pace of progress.

Chapter 55 was good I also wonder if we're approaching an ending. It would be somewhat bittersweet if the manga ends soon-ish, but at the same time I usually prefer to be left wanting more rather than to tire of something that goes on too long.

I want them to win so Alex Anthopoulos can get a World Series championship. Wish he could have done it with the Jays in 2015… -
I just beat NM last night with my Sorc. I re-spec’d in Act IV NM to add a second element though. I basically got that far using nothing but Fireball, but fire immune monsters start appearing in Act IV NM, so it was time to change things up. Now Frozen Orb is the main skill, with Fireball and Meteor used as fallback options against cold immunes. Hell is gonna be a slog. I’ve already bumped into some very annoying fire and cold immune uniques. My merc has to take care of those. He dies a lot though I’m pissing away gold resurrecting this guy all the time.

I am a contrarian, so when Anelle said it's bad and not to watch it, I really had no choice but to keep watching I won't mind if you spoil the ending for me though, Anelle, if you want to tell me truly how bad it is. I'm not so invested in the story that spoilers will bother me! I hope it ends like this: Mirai is selected to become the next God, and then upon becoming God, immediately finishes the job he started in the first episode and kills himself

This new Chick Corea Akoustic Band live album (from a 2018 recording) is fantastic. John Patitucci and Dave Weckl on bass and drums respectively. 3 incredible players.

Hard to tell if the Braves have enough pitching depth to win this thing... The Astros' pitching isn't stellar right now either though... I guess whichever lineup produces the most timely hits will end up winning the WS. -
Listening to Loveless by my bloody valentine on repeat this week on my commutes. Such a good album, start to finish A couple of choice cuts:

Yeah that was pretty wild. They won the game, so that's huge for them, but it sucks they won't have Morton available the rest of the series. Lucky for Atlanta, Houston's pitching staff is a hurting unit too. -
The trials and tribulations of my Druid: - A pure Summoning Druid just ain't cutting it in Hell, so I re-spec'd to be a hybrid Werebear / Summoner (Grizzly) - The hybrid approach worked better, but I couldn't turn up a decent weapon... so I re-spec'd again to be a Wind Druid - The Wind Druid is performing *much* better and I'm starting to make some progress through Act I Hell now - Of course, not long after the re-spec, I'm clearing out the Crypt and Mausoleum and I get a unique club (Nord's Tenderizer) drop that would have been *perfect* for the Werebear... I ain't re-spec'ing again Also, my Fireball Sorc is steamrolling through NM. I'm in Act III now.

Maybe she was born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.

I thought the ending of Fena was pretty decent. The episode dragged for a bit there in the middle part, with all the blubbering and stuff, but the final few minutes made up for it. Especially that final scene on the deck of the ship
