Today’s deck is the Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot.
The best one out of the Disney lot I’ve gone through, though not by much…
Today’s reading is telling me that I’m playing it too safe with an idea and that’s not only limiting possible future plans with it but also stiffling all the new ones.
That brings to mind a few things, yeah.
Day started at around 4AM today. To my surprise I only had a minor headache as hangover.
I was chilling around the room until almost 10am when I decided to go to Diver City and eat at Carl’s Jr.
I took pics with the girls but stopped because they gotta do the every three day cleanup thing.
So I made my mandatory Akihabara stop. I put an order for the new iphone for next month (that new dedicated photo button is super tempting…) and I’m gonna need a new Machan sticker for it.
I found a Gree store with an Ultraman Rising pop up shop, and they had boxes for something called VIP, Venus Illustration Project or something like that, basically a card game with illustrations by a bunch of illustrators.
Very curious and in steep discount so I got all the ones they had.
I also stopped by a Nikke shop and there were so many old men holy shit. It wasn’t all of men, it was quite mixed on all fronts, but it says a lot that “holy shit this is Ojiisan Central” was my first reaction.
Which reminded of the weird pang of… something I was feeling the day before. While there’s no proper answer for it all so far, I was thinking about the fact that my own willingness to show vulnerability (even if doing that doesn’t mean I’ll accept pity… or perhaps BECAUSE of it) is one of those qualities that has helped me connect with people. This has always been a thing but I remember the first time it started having a full effect I felt guilty because I felt like sharing something on my side was forcing the other side to open up almost like I forced them.
Before I knew it, I was in Shinjuku. While looking up Morakniv things I saw news that the Shinjuku Keio Mall had an exhibit for them. Turns out it was a whole Swedish fair.
It had Moomin, it had Miffy, it had food, it also had Morakniv stuff but nothing I didn’t already have.
I was feeling tired so I decided to go back to the hotel, and when I got back I panicked because I couldn’t find my keycard.
On the one hand ADHD means the possibility that I lost it because it was out of sight is super real, but on the other I know that I always keep keycards in the same part of my wallet and I had no reason to reach for it. So I went back to the front desk and hoped to God it was inside and I forgot to bring it.
Thankfully that was the case.
After I got back to the hotel, I saw that Kim Hyun-tae, the developer of Nikke posted a gift he got, and in the replies there was some guy that apparently was the one to gift him the thing.
I hover over his profile and he mentions he’s a developer, but when I try to check what he’s made there’s nothing, and then his supposed portafolio also has nothing but broad pseudo inspirational platitudes.
I’m honestly mopre annoyed that I’m annoyed than actually annoyed by some radom guy I’ll never see again and forget tomorrow.
I’m probably just in a moody state to be honest.
No TGS today. I told people if they needed me after the event for some reason to hit me up, but I’m done with the event. I COULD go back, but short of an emergency I’ll just take the time to stroll and maybe write a bit for a change.
By the way the “Accessory Not Connected” weird error my camera shows still happens, so it’s safe to say it’s something on the camera’s side rather than the flash’s.
