Wooooooo! It's Boxing Day and I am so glad my retail days are behind me.
Now Boxing Day means eating a box of chocolate and/or cookies.

I spiked some hot chocolate with Selva Ray chocolate rum, and now I'm up late thinking about old manga series I read back in the Aughts and getting annoyed that a couple of them are out of print.
I swear, one of these days I will sort of readjust my sleep schedule.

My shirt smells like sourdough bread and I really want to go cram some more rolls in my face. That's acceptable because it's still technically Christmas day until I go to sleep and wake up again, right?

The wait between Japan to English release is sooooo long, so I had to get this in Japanese. But I will totally read it (for real, my Japanese is not that great) again in May.
Cover Debut! - Yotsuba&!, Vol. 16
Yotsuba’s story began in the summer, and now Christmas has finally arrived! She'll be helping set up the Christmas tree, riding a bike (without training wheels!), and going up and down the mountain.
Pre-order Here: buff.ly/OqoRvIK

Just me, still awake at almost 3am and trying to get the last of my dinner prep ready before I go to bed. Keeping me company is the Christmas playlist of Bob's Burgers episodes which I will 10000% rewatch tomorrow while I'm in the kitchen.

It's after midnight, I'm in the kitchen prepping veggies to roast tomorrow while drinking some hot chocolate (which I might spike in a minute), and listening to Jingle All the Way.
Happy Christmas, everyone! 🎄⛄️

Found this can of Sailor Moon pop today at Five Below. It expired 4 days ago. Should I try it or keep the can sealed?

It's the most wallet unfriendly time of the year! That's right, the Steam Winter Sale, babayyyy!
Thank the queue for showing me Coven of the Chicken Foot because this is right up my alley and I hadn't seen anything on it yet.

Please, people, remember to clean your kitchen pipes once a month so you aren't trying to get a plumber the week before Christmas to remove 20 years of gunk.

Was looking at photos of the blizzard in Calgary, and it gave me flashbacks to the mid 80s when my parental unit insisted we drive to Edmonton in a blizzard, hit black ice, spun into a ditch, had to wait for RCMP to dig us out of our car, and drive us to Red Deer two days before Christmas.

Alrighty, net came back and I just finished the first episode of Fallout. I'll need to rewatch it again for more Easter eggs as I'm sure I missed some.

My recaps vary because I prefer to play RPGs and long session games on console, while Steam is where I play while I watch TV shows and movies with my spouse.

Going to a magic show next weekend, and I swear, if they try to bring me into the act I will do it super begrudgingly because I'm going for my husband and wouldn't want to ruin it for him.
But I will be annoyed because it happens Every Damn Time.

Once again, confirmation this is not about honouring the amazing work these devs and studios do. Because to do that, you'd give all this wasted ad time to the creatives to talk about their craft.

Thought about updating and playing Fallout 76 again for the first time in almost a year, and then I saw all of the comments in the major group I'm still lurking in talking about how their camps and items have vanished.
Going back to that is a big old hell nope!

I made a decision today. It probably wasn't a smart one.
At 12:30pm, in my infinite wisdom, I bought a 24ish ounce iced Vietnamese coffee with matcha foam.
This will be me all night.
