I tried Linux Mint…

by mishi
In my last post, I mentioned switching from Windows 11 to Linux Mint. This was around a month ago, using up a Friday night and Saturday doing a little troubleshooting. Actually, it wasn’t thaaat bad… But it also wasn’t easy. Honestly, I can totally see why your average person would not even bother. TLDR: I’m […]

Random updates on a rainy night

by mishi
It’s Saturday night and I’m chilling at home in a somewhat clean room with the sound of heavy rain in the background. My sliding door is open and cool air is blowing in. It seems like the rainy season has rolled in a little early as it’s been quite rainy as of late. I spent […]

New music that captured my attention

by mishi
Multitasking is something I usually have to do while I work, but when I’m in the office I can’t really have a YouTube video playing in a corner of my screen… Instead, I just listen to music. Spotify and reddit have become tools for me to find new music. Without those, admittedly there’s no way […]

Weak Hero Class 1 (Spoiler City)

by mishi
Thought I’d write down my thoughts on the K-drama Weak Hero Class 1, a series loosely based on a manhwa called Weak Hero. I tried reading a few chapters after watching season 1 of the drama but didn’t get hooked on it; I just liked the live action series. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ There’s quite a bit of […]

Cherry blossoms and other stuff

by mishi
As I’m writing this post, the cherry blossoms in Osaka are all long gone. πŸ™‡ This once-a-year blooming cycle is not enough. But just like every year that’s passed, I managed to crawl out of my cave to gawk at the pretty pink flowers. Luckily, no sudden allergy attack this year. I visited the two […]

New PC, who dis

by mishi
Sooo, Monster Hunter Wilds is releasing at the end of the month. I built a new computer to be able to play it, but also not solely just for that… Still, there were other options, like buying a PlayStation 5. However, I’m boycotting Sony for a variety of reasons, plus it’s been 6 years since […]

New makeup and a no-buy for 2025

by mishi
It’s been a couple of months, and I’m getting over a makeup fixation. It was more indie eyeshadow first, then blushes, then lip liners and a few lipsticks. I spent hours and hours over the course of weeks looking up swatches, waiting for sales, making…spreadsheets.🫠 Now I have all the things I wanted on my […]

Happy (belated) New Year!

by mishi
I had a solid two weeks off for the holidays and spent a lot of it alone. Most of the time, I really like being alone and not having to talk to anyone, but at the same time…I also miss being around people. At the end of 2024, I had a heavy case of the […]

Tokyo trip

by mishi
This mini vacation happened pretty suddenly. My family told me a couple months ago that since they wouldn’t be able to use their time share week this year (no one to pet sit) that they wanted to give it to me. Japan doesn’t have any of the resorts, of course, but thankfully they were able […]

Health check stuff

by mishi
Last week, I went to get my annual mandated health check. While I’m definitely grateful, I’m also dramatic and hate doing it. For the first time in over a year I saw a number on a scale. I’ve mentioned a few times about how I know I’ve lost weight over the year, but the number […]
