Back with another drawing. I've always wanted to draw a desert landscape so this is my take on it. I started this one last year and then went into a slump. Finally overcame my laziness and finished it.

Watching porn on the TV? That’s a power move! 

On that note, the idea of couples watching porn together is kind of weird I think. Especially while having sex. That's weird, right?

Yeah, surprised me too. Its been a few years now from what I heard.
No longer thicc, still very cute though.
 
She is Ai_Uehara_Ex on Insta if you're curious what she's up to.
Can't link cuz I'm at work lol.
 
 
 

I had another series of unrelated dreams.
 
Dream 1
I had some old acquaintances spending the night with me over at my parents place. However, they wouldn’t go to sleep. Our rooms were on the second floor and what they wanted to do is slide down the stairs belly first. They kept alternating, one person sliding down then the next person while I kept telling the two of them to go to sleep and that they would wake someone up. But just then, really loud music began to play from outside. We all went downstairs to investigate and noticed a bright orange light illuminating into the house through the window. By this time my parents were awake and also trying to find the source of the sound. 
 
We tracked the sound to our neighbors backyard where a large group of teenagers were having a bon fire and blaring music. We told them to keep it down and that there were people trying to sleep. They didn’t take too kindly to that and they all started to get up and glare at us. We hurried back inside and closed the door. Soon after the gang broke through our front door and started surrounding us. My acquaintances were no where to be seen and it was just me and my parents. Some of them began attacking us but they actually ended up being chumps and terrible at fighting. My dad would just grapple them or flip them to the ground and eventually they just all scrambled out in panic.
 
Dream 2
Me and some random people were in a forest getting lessons. The instructor was some old man dressed up like the clown from the original IT (Tim Curry) and he was teaching us how to use HTML tags on a chalkboard. It was really weird and the lesson didn’t even make sense. Specifically, he was trying to teach us how and when to use block quotes. He asked one of the students a question and they answered incorrectly. He menacingly hissed at them that, “that’s the reason [he] hates children, because they are mindless little filthy bitches.”

Then I woke up and found out I slept through all 4 of my alarms and was almost late for work.

Last night, I dreamt that I enrolled at a new college and they had a compulsory PE course but because it was so strenuous, they wouldn't let any students under 153cm take part (which isn't really asking a lot, to be fair). I dodged that bullet by 2cm >:D
 
I then dreamt that me and seven other students at this college went on a long walk (kind of like a charity walk but I don't remember it specifically being for charity). We wore these weird latex masks that made us look like female pop stars (like Little Mix or Girls Aloud or whatever) and someone filmed us during the walk and made a new music video for Radiohead's Creep with the footage. I mean, I guess that's one way to portray a creep...

When it comes to physical music, if there is a vinyl copy available, most times I'll prefer listening to it on that format. That's only if the audio quality is better or on par to the digital version though. I've ran into some LP releases that sound very poor on vinyl and I'd rather have a CD version instead.
 
I really only like CDs now for music that is hard to find online or if I want to be able to rip music in case I lose the digital copies that I have. Otherwise, I never actually listen to the CDs after ripping them and they take up room in my shelf. If it's a band I really like I like collecting CDs for artwork and photos.
 
Which is why I actually like using streaming services because it allows me to listen to music in (depending on the streaming service) good quality and I don't have to worry about storage space or loading music on my player of choice manually. It's risky though since some day the streaming service can decide to pull some of your favorite releases off their platform and then you can't enjoy it that way. And when it comes to Japanese music, it can be difficult to find releases by vkei and indie artists.
 
On very rare occasions, I like collecting cassette tapes too and other less conventional mediums like floppy discs and 8-track tapes. But one thing I can't still get behind is a USB drive. It's just a boring medium to store and distribute music to me. 
 
Last.fm integration is also important to me as I like to keep track of my listening habits, so I also like to just listen to digital copies I own on either my phone or laptop most days (although, with the direction last.fm is going I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep that up haha)

I think on CDs, they're just okay. They can be hit or miss for me depending on the "type" of obi it is. And by that I mean, I've seen a few common types used.
 
1. Solid strip of color with some text
2. Have just the album name and band logo on the front.
3. Be an extension of the booklet artwork.
 
It's nice when they're more fleshed out and have more info about release, add to the aesthetic of the overall package, or include easter eggs or photos like @Jigsaw9mentioned. But, either a) extra content is rarely included, or b) they're more often than not, boring.
 
Here's an example of what I'm talking about (Please excuse the old and terrible photo):
2 out of the 4 CDs here that have OBIs are just a plain black strip with minimal text, and 1 is just an extension of artwork. The one on the bottom right I think is actually interesting to look at and it also has more information about the CD beyond just the band name and title.


 
 
@Kaya-Rose-Addict & @Bear bring up a great point about obis on vinyl, which I also love. The medium allows for bigger OBIs, so I've seen some pretty cool stuff being done. These are a few of my favorite OBIs on vinyl releases (the first two are obis that slide onto the sleeve and stay on)

I had 2 dreams last night.
 
Dream 1
My sister wanted to pull a heist to rob some building. I was totally against it saying it's a dumb idea but my parents were there and they were really on board with it and very supportive. I was loosing my mind because we didn't even have a plan, but everyone was eager. So we suited up with masks and drove to this building. When we got there though, it was raining and there was security everywhere. I kept saying how this was a bad idea but no one listened to me and just split up to find ways inside.
 
Dream 2
I went up to a lovely air bnb cabin at the top of a hill with a view of the ocean. I was ready to enjoy the weekend and have some nice R&R. When I walked in though there was man wielding a chainsaw waiting for me. As soon as I walked in he revved it up. He looked like a crazed version of leatherface with makeup (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 version) and had this wide-eyed manic yet distressed expression with clenched teeth. He kept twitching and making these yelping noises, almost like he was in pain. 
 
I was terrified but just kind of hurried past him trying to get to my room. When I got halfway up some stairs he started doing the dance that leatherface does at the end of movie but more viciously and psychotic. I just went into my room and shut the door. 

Havent played much butit's great, but I'm in PC so I dont have any issues with the game so far 

I was really nervous after reading all the bad switch reviews, but honestly this game is so fun.
