~ I don't feel warm enough ~

Jun 27, 2022

Coffee intake was achieved. The wife and I have begun going to the gym on the regular and to accommodate her work schedule, that means waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am. What this means is I wake up, bleary-eyed, go to the gym, suffer, and come home to nap for a stint before my morning meeting. It’s not a perfect system, but I will admit that it feels good to be working out again.

Now, don’t confuse that. The actual exercise is fucking terrible and I abhor it. But it feels good to do it as a team and do it regularly. It’s something I definitely couldn’t do on my own.

What I’m Playing

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m getting back into Final Fantasy XIV. I knew it was only a matter of time, but having my favorite side character, Inspector Hildibrand, come back certainly helps. Now I might farm the Nier raids a few more times because they’re just my favorite.

The weekly grind continues in Destiny 2. This season is coming to a point where the story is about to be wrapped up. I’m almost done with the season pass but definitely fell off thanks to Final Fantasy XIV. There has to be a way for me to find some balance here.

What I’m Watching

The Boys wowed the missus and me with its latest episode. Overall, I feel that Herogasm was overhyped. The show brought it in line with what it has presented already. It certainly wasn’t the most outrageous thing the show has done, nor was it the most amazing thing about the episode. No, seeing Soldier Boy lay into Homelander was *chef’s kiss*.

Spy Family continues to be adorable. The dodgeball episode was outright hilarious and I’m in love with this bizarre cast of characters. The animation has been top-notch and the humor even more so. I highly recommend this series if someone is looking for something light-hearted and campy.

What I’m Reading

I tried to get into The Boys since I’ve enjoyed the show immensely. So, to prep for Herogasm, I read that six-issue run, and holy shit is it bad. The art, writing, and overall presentation are completely juvenile and undercooked. This only makes me appreciate the show that much more because they really polished that turd.
