Hello there. Welcome to my world of Random Thoughts. In this world I’ll be posting stuff about anime and manga. Not to mention various other topics. I may post the occasional music video every now and than. And from time to time, I’ll just talk about my life in general. But first, here are a few things about me.

I was born an only child, for one thing. Originally I was planning to go into art professionally, but recently I’ve been more inclined towards writing. I still do the occasional wallpaper every now and then though, and I also still draw a little. But much of my energy these days goes into writing fan fiction. I’ve also recently become interested in archive and library work, which is something I’ve discovered I’m good at. Finally, like most people on the Internet, I like cats.

Things Could Be Better

Hello again everyone. I know it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. The main reason I haven't is because this site just still isn't very active. I still try to check in here once a day though just to see what's going on here, if anything. I'm making this post today though partly to vent and partly to ask for help with a small problem.

The thing I want to vent about is a problem with my car. I hadn't even pulled out of the driveway to go to my job yesterday when I noticed that the check engine light was on. The car seemed to be working fine, and I was able to get to work and back without it breaking down. Still, it's a point of concern that has me a bit stressed out. I'm worried that when they check the car out at the shop tomorrow, the problem will turn out to be something serious (like the transmission needing to be replaced), and that it'll be because I did something to the car that caused that problem to happen. I'm also pretty concerned that my dad will make me pay for most of the repair, and if it is something like a problem with the transmission, the cost I'll have to pay will be pretty steep.

Now for the thing I wanted to ask for help with. For the last week I've been playing Pokemon Sword, and have been enjoying it immensely. Unfortunately it seems like I might've done something to screw the game up. A couple of nights ago I discovered that the clock for the game was wrong and realized that I had set my Nintendo Switch Lite for the wrong timezone. So I messed with the game's clock a bit to get the correct time, but right now it looks like I may have inadvertently caused a glitch that stopped certain daily features in the game from activating. Right now I've decided to wait and see if they activate again tomorrow, but I'm guessing that they probably won't. So if anyone reading this playing either Sword and Shield has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, please let me know.

I confess that this is my first time operating such a sophisticated gaming system, so I'm a little clueless when it comes to certain things with it. Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to report. Sorry my post couldn't be more positive. I know that negative posts like this one are one of the reasons why this site has become an internet dive bar.

Out of Contact

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be totally unreachable until tomorrow evening at the very latest. I'm going on a short road trip with my aunt here in about an hour or so. During that time, I will presumably have no access to the internet. Well... there probably is internet access at the hotel my aunt and I will be spending the night, but I'm a little too afraid of my laptop getting stolen, and I haven't trusted public wi-fi since watching that short-lived CSI Cyber series on CBS. Plus it's probably do me some good to just unplug for a while... from the internet I mean, not everything else. I have no intention of going back to pioneer times. It's more like I'm going back to say... 1985. Well... then again, that statement is probably inaccurate, since I think my hotel room will have a flatscreen. Anyway, I'll see you all again when I see ya.
