Just dropping by

[coolohoh]

To say hi.

How have I been? Not the best really. Health hasn't been good recently. Work is kinda shit. I haven't kept up with Arashi news and all, though I do know some stuff, it just enters my field of vision ya know? Like the whole JE thing. Or should I say, Starto? And Nino's new company... I follow him on twitter, I mean, X, so I do read his tweets every now and then. I saw his few youtube videos regarding the name change but nothing much else... Their videos are just... Not my vibe ya know? I watched them for a bit at the beginning... Then it just kinda fell off my watching list. Nino has that very meh vibe, as in, the typical Nino being Nino snarky, lazy kinda vibe. And it just works in Arashi. And sometimes he's cute and adorable and I love him to bits, even though my ichiban is still Ohno. But in his youtube channel... It just doesn't really work because everyone but that sexy zone guy (what's his name again? Kikuchi?) has also kinda similar meh vibes, and then Kikuchi is overly enthusiastic and annoying, like the complete other end of the spectrum and one that simply put, annoys me. It's just not to my liking, like a personal preference kind of thing. No offense ok? So yeah.... I haven't watched anything Arashi in ages. I know Jun did the taiga drama thing, would like to watch it but also, it's really long and I kinda don't have the time to watch something so long.......

I've definitely fallen off the whole jpop thing. Well not really. Arashi was literally the only group I was following, so when I stopped following them even before the hiatus announcement came because of job changes and stuff... Yeah... It would be great if I could watch like their shows on youtube though. I pretty much only watch youtube these days. I guess I could probably find the shows on bilibili or something but I just am not in a habit of going there, and right now I already have a backlog of youtube videos that I want to watch... Work has been busy as I said. That and the Chinese New Year sping cleaning....

Anyway... An update on where you can find me if you so wish.

I started speedcubing during covid, and that was why I started watching youtube really. Because I watched rubik's cube tutorials on youtube. The blog mostly talks about my cubing adventures.

My art/stationery blog, and I am also trying to put some of the personal life/work updates here. They have been scattered in TwistyRubiks as well.

My dream blog. As in, blogs about the dreams I've had at night. Not the 'hopes and dreams of the future' kind, but the 'unconscious, while you are sleeping' kind. Updates are sparse, since I don't remember my dreams often, and even if I do, I would have to find the time and motivation to record down the dream before I forget it. But I have pretty funny and epic dreams though, if I can say so myself.

My stationery/art youtube channel, that I posted actively on for a few months before work took over my life. I would like to get back to making videos again someday though...

My art/stationery instagram

My 'personal' instagram, though it's not plastered with my face all over and stuff. I'm just not that kind of person. But yeah this is my personal instagram and I don't have any private instagram or whatever... 

I'm also the.random.lab on threads and @darkillertg on X... But I rarely update those either. 

That's it I guess. I don't check here at all these days, but I should still get an email if you dm me or anything, so in case there's a compelling reason that you wish to chat to me... You can dm. I'll reply if it's not spam I guess...

Till, whenever the next time is. Cya!
