The K-Pop Rabbit Hole

Alright it's time to come clean.

I've fallen into the K-pop Rabbit Hole. When I stumbled upon a karaoke version of Fifty Fifty's Cupid, by a VTuber (full disclosure: I fell into the the VTuber rabbit hole first!) named Takanashi Kiara, it got stuck in my head. I still cannot believe how much time I spent watching V-Tubers on YouTube, but that's a story for another time... if I'm brave enough.

Anyway, here's the song. I think it's apt to share, now that it's February. I should note I feel the beginning of the song is extra-special to me because of the lyrics: 

A hopeless romantic all my life
Surrounded by couples all the time
I guess I should take it as a sign

 

Cupid is so dumb

I think this is just the beginning. After Le Sserafim collaborated with the Overwatch 2 team for a really unique in-game event, the k-pop vibes have lurked in the back of my brain, waiting to emerge. It helps that I kind of love South Korea: they have the best e-Sports scene in the world bar none, the people that I've met here in T.O. have been nothing but a pleasure to interact with (shout out to the LoL PC bang in Koreatown, and my old friend B-S Kim), and kimchi is probably in the 0.1% of the most nutritious foods on earth (and I crave it). Need I go on?

So yeah. K-pop is going into my music library. Anyone have any suggestions?

Tearful love

I'd rather be a comma, tha(e)n a full stop.

Commas help me breathe. Literally.

It's been a long day for me. I got up early, and went for a walk around the neighbourhood. I did a bit of rearranging of my bedroom, and found drumsticks. I used the drumsticks to practice air percussion, and also, some ground strokes.

Speaking of sports-speak, I'm thinking of picking up badminton again. Except this time, I'll play left-handed. I expect this will be an enormous challenge, especially if I play against people who have played before. Because honestly, pickleball is straining my nerves.

Another bright day ahead tomorrow.

 I don't care how good Apex Legends or The Finals is: I keep going back to Overwatch 2.

I miss 6vs6 dearly, but it was total chaos. I laugh as I say this, because I don't really have friends who play this game with me. Only randos I met online, which is fine, but I'm afraid of people I don't know because it's only normal.

Something I notice now, though, is that instead of having a main tank and a side tank, you now have a main DPS and a side DPS.

As of current patch, healers get healed by hiding. Of course I'm gonna play support; I ain't about to pop off on Widowmaker with my Joy-Cons, lol.

No such thing as a homeopathic dose of water

 What does that mean?
