Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

I am looking forward to things, my crowd. Most definitely.  Shall I tell you about my week?

 Nothing really big or important happened to me personally this week.  There is one big thing that happened, but I can't talk about it because rules. All I can say is, New President Day happened, and I was happy about that. I assume most of you will get what I mean, so there is no need to say any more then that. I found a CD that I borrowed from a "library" and never returned. I still don't know what to do with it since the library doesn't exist any more. (If you want to know why library is in quotation marks, feel free to ask.) And for those who don't know, I am drawing a picture. Well, I've BEEN drawing it, but I recently found some new inspiration and now I'm hitting a new stride with it. Progress is happening much faster now. With any luck, I'll be done real soon.

 NO KIRAMAGER OR SABER THIS WEEK!   I just ran out time to watch them, and I don't feel too bad about that since these aren't the most thrilling of seasons I usually come to expect. I'll pick them up again next week, I just needed a break this week because....

 Besides making major progress on that picture I am drawing (I can barely put it down), I have spent time catching up on Toonami shows and messing around with my DA account. I said that I'd be making some changes soon. I expected to do that this week, but I decided to give myself some more time on that.  Sometime after Monday, I'll probably make those changes final. I'll explain it better on DA when the time comes. I don't want to give it all away right now, even though some know what I'm doing. As for shows on Toonami, I want to catch up because I am terribly behind, and SSSS Gridman just starting airing. I love me some Gridman, so of course I want to see that! A little disappointed I won't be seeing the original Gridman, but I've seen the first episode, and maybe I can squeeze in a few more if I'm lucky. I understand the basic gist of what happened in the show, so that should be enough, right?

 In case anyone is curious, my late grandmother's cat ran away from home again, but it came back on Saturday, again. Not that I think this particularly noteworthy, I just have a lack of things to report right now. Since I am bringing it up, I guess I'll explain in deeper detail... Story time!  The cat was a gift to my grandmother. It was kind of poetic the first time he ran away; because he did it when my grandmother passed away. The second time is just a lack of proper care. Legally, ownership of the cat falls to my grandfather, and he doesn't care about the cat. He enjoys having him around for the fun of it, but he could care less about pet ownership. My uncle (the one who bought him) doesn't seem to care about the money spent getting this pet. Neither I nor anyone else in my immediate family has the money or free time to take care of a cat. Based on what I've heard, there is a chance the cat has a medical problem related to its digestion (it can put away many bowls of food and still be hungry). And while my grandfather might somewhat enjoy the cat, he has decided he doesn't want to help the cat medically, therefore nothing special is going to be done. I am somewhat worried about the cat, but it's out of all our hands at this point.

 I really look forward to getting back to my LiveJournal once I am done with DA. There are entries I need to finish and publish, but I'm also getting ideas for what I can do next. Thanks to Toei's English YouTube channel, I saw episode 1 of Ryuki, and was reminded of why it's so unique. It makes me want to do an Episode 1 comparison between Ryuki and its American counterpart Dragon Knight. These won't be reviews of the two different shows, just an interesting comparison between the first episodes and what they mean to their franchises and respective audiences. So look forward to that!  Who knows, I might even compare the first episodes of Black RX and Saban's Masked Rider, if I feel generous enough~.

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and gear up for an evolution.

To make up for my lack Tokusatsu episode reviews, here's an old but perfectly timeless video that I wish I had discovered sooner. I just love stuff like this, and honestly I feel like even I could do something similar, if I wanted. There have been so many more Kamen Riders since this video was made. I remember when the maker of this video was active on YouTube. Makes me wish he was still around, because his videos are nothing short of inspired. This is "Who Needs A Mask?" by SpeedRacerFlubber.
