After a miserable weekend I got myself a sick note from the doctor today and am off until Friday. The only ones that are happy about that are my cats.

I'm relieved to say that my car did pass the TÜV inspection. But I also got warned that it might not pass the next one. Which is not a surprise, the thing is old (23 years) and basically rusting away under my ass.

Made my decision. Will take a step back for a while, both over there and also here on Bluesky. I'll still show up from time to time, but a lot less frequently than before.

They say not to make a decision when you're hungry, and to better sleep a night over it. This is me reminding myself not to do anything (stupid) today.

So, MDL now has an "undecided" category. When did that happen? I might move some things from my plan-to-watch list over there, just to make it look more manageable. *g* #cdrama

Spent 6 hours today playing #ManorLords on the easiest settings, and the best I could do was have my people survive the winters without losing anyone. 😅 Resource management games are clearly too complicated for me.

Just contacted my boss and took another day off tomorrow. I need some more time, really, but one additional will have to do.

I'm really tired, but I don't want to go to bed yet, because something seems to still be missing from this day. What a weird feeling.

So, 2026 started out pretty meh for me. Here's to hoping it won't set the tone for the rest of the year! 🥂🍾

I want to get up from the couch and get myself some bubbly and nibbles, but I'm currently trapped between two cats!

#EYDC2025 - Day 31: Favorite dramas of 2025
That was without contest #cdrama #LegendOfZangHai. Yeah, I've already mentioned it multiple times, and I'm repeating myself - again. 😅 It wasn't perfect, I did have some gripes with it... but it hit many favourite tropes of mine and sparked fannish joy.

I've already voted for #cdrama #LegendOfZangHai because it definitely was my favourite drama of the year, but this is a very compelling argument. 😁
XIAO ZHAN FINALLY GOT HIS VILLAIN ROLE AFTER YEARS OF BEGGING PEOPLE TO LET HIM PLAY A VILLAIN AND THEN HE GOT IT AND KILLED IT AND LOOK AT THIS 'YOU FUCK WITH ME I'LL FUCK WITH YOU HARDER' SMILE AND YOU AREN'T GONNA VOTE FOR THIS? NEGATIVE

#EYDC2025 - Day 30: Was 2025 a good drama year for you?
It was, yes. Still is, in fact. Even if I didn't watch as many dramas as I did in previous years, I watched some really good ones and enjoyed myself a lot.

The Viki app is fucking with me again, but at least I got it to open today. Watching #cdrama #Glory now, yay! For some reason I can't find it on iQIYI, maybe it's another region issue. Lovely to see #HouMinghao in official robes again! It's been a while since #AGirlLikeMe.

So, I'm back to watching stuff! I was excited to resume my #cdrama, but there are several new ones out I'm really curious about! Oh, the temptation! TWO new #HouMinghao dramas, even! What do I do?

#EYDC2025 - Day 29: drama you're excited for in 2026
Oh, I'm looking forward to the new entry in the #DMBJ verse. Southern Anecdotes or Southern Archives, whatever the title will actually be. I'm always excited for more Zhang lore, and the combination of actors is delicious!

#EYDC2025 - Day 28: An industry change you want to happen
There's one change that I don't want to be implemented in the first place - all this BS talk about productions planning to stop casting women over the age of 35 in lead roles! Also, let actors be real people, not moral examples/templates.

I'm finally back home! It was a lovely visit, but I'm looking forward to my own bed, cuddling my kitties, and catching up with everything online.
