-I really had more time or focus to do these lately, with all that goes on in the morning and how exhausted I get in the evening, I don't even have time for these. I'm still trying to at least squeeze one in per week but it just is what it is.

-I hate the way the world is right now as if it just wants a war that it really doesn't need or deserve. I don't want to get political but religion shouldn't be an excuse to support a nation whose leaders are horrid and who just want to cause problems instead of solving them. And that's all I need to say about that.

-Saw someone post in my entry about the Disney Tournament I did a couple years ago; I swear a sequel is coming (I did promise :iconToonfan37: I'd do it but it's just been busy as mentioned) but be patient about it.

-One final thought: still wondering if doing the Looney Tunes project is turning too many people off since there's so few who seem to comment or fave it despite the support of me doing it from the get-go. I'm happy I'm doing it but it does feel like something that could feel like a flashpoint for me about how I do all this effort with no results.

-Checking in as is from Washington, DC; on my Cherry Blossom break and just going around doing fun stuff and whatever comes to mind. I'm more used to going and leaving in the same day instead of making a weekend of it but with the distance between Pittsburgh and DC and the time, I figured...why not and did it. Just sort of wish I could meet up with someone here but the last time I did that was a disaster so probably not willing to try that mess again.

-Getting a lot for my special week I've got planned and actually do have a tale idea I've been meaning to write for a while about the guest of honor. Do hope to write it but with how busy things have been in my world, who even knows anymore.

-Anyone have the feeling of just being exhausted all the time as I have? I just seem to always get out there to do things and whatnot and end up sometimes taking not just one but two naps in my day! I know I'm not sleeping right and do try to but unfortunately it's just tough to know what sleeping right is anymore when I go to bed the normal way and have a hard time sleeping; but then sleep like a log whenever I do take a nap.

-Just been mostly recovering after my trip home this week which is why I've been quiet; plus next week I'm going back to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival (and...well...it's DC, why not) which may explain why I haven't said much this time around. That and...considering all the stuff I need to concentrate on, it's hard to keep things focused without losing focus.

-I'm thinking of maybe writing up something regarding relevance once again and why some characters and franchises tend to get more notice than others, but I'm not sure if anyone wants to hear me gripe more about why "The Black Cauldron" is ignored so I really can't bring myself to do it. I've annoyed enough people about my complaints and I know it's getting nowhere; but it isn't just about that but more about the ideas of "out of sight/out of mind" and how the "out of mind" element tends to harm those things and why many seem to not want more notice for things that things that aren't as popular or don't sell. It's just my own paranoia, I suppose.

-As for the trip home last week...it's tough to say it was a vacation; a break, sure, but when you're taking care of a sick mother all week and at her whims and the whims of a sister like mine, then you just get happy to go home. You want a break from family just as much as you want a break from work and when you don't get both...eh, that's what vacation later this year is for I suppose.

-I am back home dealing with family for the week, and while part of me is happy to be home with the fact I'm able to help take care of my mom and just get a break from work, I just have to also deal with my sister and the massive fits she has for any and every little thing we do wrong. I can't touch the dishwasher because I don't know if it's clean or dirty and then she goes off about not putting anything in the dishwasher and "leaving her a mess". I go to get a half-pound of salads and she goes off claiming she wanted a full pound when mom said we had to save money since she was the one paying for it. It can't just be one way or the other, can it; plus considering I never know anything and try to adjust, it's still never enough.

-Sometimes I want to write a story with a bit more depressing edge and I think I have a right to do it. I still like making the girl sexy or cute, but at the same time I just like the idea that not everything is within their control and not every girl wants to be a freak like I like them and that there are those who just react in a different sort of manner.

-The only good thing about being home is how much I'm able to get done with a lot of the other projects. Been breezing through the 1942 content of my WB animation watch today and that helps since the more I get done, the more that will be done before my vacation; and that I consider a plus.

-Yeah, obviously today is today. I still feel ashamed by the bridges I burned that I still had up from last year but I'm happy for those of who that still reach out and care about me. It really does mean a lot even if I haven't said as much as of late; it's just been tough with the job and all the projects going on to really reach out as I had been. Being busy at least is a good thing, but it's also a bad one; and I'm just trying to work out which it really more beneficial. The one thing I learned this year is living longer is good if other people live longer alongside you considering the losses...and those who live that just seem to hate everything I like or that I stand for. I'm grateful for those who help me get through the bad times and fight for what really matters in a world that seems so callous and hateful all the time nowadays.

-In good news, I'm actually nearly wrapping up the "Frankenweenie" review; meaning I can start putting up (after some modifications) the "Brave" review that came before it. And then...I can finally get back to actually talking WDAS movies (mostly a good thing cause I've been wanting to do "Wreck-It Ralph" for a long time now...and obviously after that we got "Quinn's ultimate torment" but...let's do Wreck-It Ralph before the movie after and the obvious icy hell Ms. Daniels is about to go through)

Quinn: Don't push me, Ataru!

Hydie: (in box, with her Anna cosplay on a mannequin) I so hope she's able to get through this without any problems.

-The bad news about today: I can't take off since...sadly, I have to do a collab day at work and as a supervisor, I'm pretty much demanded to be there for my unit. But...I am taking all next week off with all the leave I have collected so that's at least a good thing. Surprised it's taken me this long but at least I can finally breathe a bit better than I had been in the past.
