For some reason I feel like roaring really loud. I will spare you oh journal I'm sure no one reads XD

I'm almost caught up on typing my story. Right now I'm deciding whether I want to go to Starbucks to write or not. I might because I really do need to write and it's easier to do away from home. It's a bit of a relief because I've fixed most of my stupid mistakes. I only have on more to fix and I stopped right where it starts. I think I'll make a quick outline for the chapter and swing by Starbucks (I'm a bit excited about the idea now that I think about it).

This weekend I had to clean the worst manga for my scanlation group. It's called The Legend of Sun Knight. I love the story. It's written by Yu Wo and I've been reading three translations of her novels, Sun Knight being one of them. But the artwork is CRAZY detailed. And then the artist puts text ALL OVER IT! It is EVIL! Each page has at least 3 redraws and they usually have stupid greys that are difficult to clone. At least with the part I had, I was able to enjoy redrawing the shadows in Sun's hair. I don't know why, but everyone else in Odd Squad hates doing hair. It's my favorite, though.

Today, my nephew got a whole bunch of new toys and they are all Toy Story toys. This is what happens when a child live with their grandparents; they get spoiled year round. It's going to be hard to get him anything for his birthday and Christmas if they keep this up. My sister and dad also took Boston to get professional pictures. I didn't want to go since I figured it would be a fiasco but they made me come. And lo and behold they got no pictures. My sister is thinking of hiring a photographer to take candid pictures outside, which I think will work better. Hopefully, she plans this when she has her driver's license so I don't have to come.

Yesterday, I took Boston outside to play and it was really nice, albeit very windy. I wish we had a fenced backyard so that I didn't have to follow him everywhere. My dad is off this week. I'm not very happy about it because he's a bit of a bear and highly judgemental. I can't eat around him because he always criticizes me for whatever I'm eating. And Boston always wants to play with him which stresses him out. Sometimes he'll be mean to him for acting that way which irritates me. He's just a kid and he loves you. Hopefully this week will go by fast.

Okay, this was a good warm-up. I think I'm ready to go and work on my story. まったね
