12. 24K in Dallas

Image
After a three-month delay (almost to the very day), 24K finally came to Dallas! It involved a lot of frustration due to the unprofessional behavior of their promoters, Studio PAV, but it all paid off in the end. $200 got me a VVIP ticket which included a free copy of their ADDICTION single, fansigning, hi-touch, group photo, and getting to sit (stand) in the front.

11. Loud Noise - A Rant

Image
You guys are having a great time and that's great, it really is, but could you please, kindly shut the fuck up? I just saw this video on Facebook and it brought up all these feelings so here we are.

10. Zelda Backpack

Image
If you say this isn't the coolest backpack you've ever seen, you're a damn lie. I don't even like the Zelda games, but I've always thought Link was hot and the Breath of the Wild aesthetic is super cool. Combine the fact that this backpack was basically half off after Christmas, I had to have it. Hopefully when I get a Switch (one day), I'll get this game and like it, but I've tried the Zelda games multiple times and just couldn't get into them. 

09. MONSTA X The Code: Protocol:Terminal and DE:CODE Ver.

Image
I got this over a month ago, but regardless of how long I've had it, I still have it so I'm going to talk about it. I went ahead and ordered the two and I'm starting to realize that this whole "2 version" thing is becoming a thing. I only broke down and got this one because without it, I wouldn't have been able to complete the whole image since each version is half and when you put it together, you get the whole thing. Magical.

08. Korea Box

Image
I've decided to end my subscription to Korea Box this past December. It was a good four months, but I just didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth. That and $30 a month is kind of a heavy amount to justify when I'm trying to save up for my Japan trip. I was subscribed for four months and got the following (all Monsta X themed): 2 "blankets" (I think of them more like cloth posters because they're really thin, made of suede, and not really big enough to use as a blanket, and I'm only 5 feet tall) 1 pillow keychain (with a low res photo of MX on both sides) 1 tumbler (I'm actually quite fond of this and use it pretty regularly) 1 clock (glass, just has photos of Wonho in it) 1 set of small memos (too small, wish they were sticky notes) 1 small pillow (this was just a mess. The pillow is too big for the case and stretches out the photo) 1 handkerchief (low res photo, odd material for a handkerchief) A variety of stickers and pos...

07. Carpel Tunnel Sucks and Playing Catch Up

Image
So, it's been a while since I've posted on here (not that anyone really reads this, but that's another situation entirely). I've been dealing with pain in my wrist for a couple of months and finally went to the doctor about three weeks ago. I have carpel tunnel, and for whatever reason, after getting that diagnosis, my wrist got REALLY bad. But it's gotten quite a bit better. I don't feel totally confident typing, which why I haven't posted a while. You know how when you feel bad and then you start to feel good and you don't want to do anything that could possibly upset that delicate balance? Yeah, that's how I've felt but I'll type this just to see how I feel. So let's get a run down on what's happened... 2nd Koreabox came More MONSTA X stuff was ordered The weekend after that, my wrist started to commit suicide 3rd Danganronpa was released, and I purchased it This local Taco Bell fucked me over for the last time About two ...

06. That American Death Note Movie...

Image
So that American adaptation of Death Note was released for streaming on Netflix this past Friday. I remember the internet getting all worked up (and rightfully so) about whitewashing a movie that could've easily had Asian actors, at least in some important role if not Light himself. The movie is...bad. I had to stop 10 minutes in. Whether or not I'll be willing to torture myself to finish it in the future is likely to be a no. However, I found PLENTY wrong just in the little amount I actually did watch. Where to begin? At the beginning, I guess. Now I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that dude who's playing Light? Nowhere near attractive enough. Not only that, but he seems like an outsider, nerd loser who is not only a loser, but a cheater as well who accepts money for doing other students' homework. Light would NEVER do this. A cold, heartless sociopathic killer he may be, but I can assure you Light NEVER cheated or helped anyone else cheat in school...
