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

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

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Woof, woof, my crowd! Have you ever just wanted to go play outside for a while?  Let's talk about it.

 I guess the biggest thing that happened to me over the week was this big fiasco with eBay. Long story short, I think I might be getting scammed.  I am watching closely for now, too early to tell, but I'll update everyone when I have more information. There was left-over fireworks on Monday. Also, my mother's grass is growing! Last weekend, she has her front lawn reseeded. This weekend, we are finally seeing the grass sprouting! It's just little bits of baby grass, but at this rate it won't be long before the dirt lot becomes completely green. Who knew one could get excited about grass? 

 Not much to report in the world of pop culture. Gridman is available for pre-order. And of course, Windows 11 is coming. I keep hearing more and more about a free upgrade for Windows 10 users, but it might come with certain software AND hardware requirements. My computer is really new, but I'm afraid that still might not be enough...  But the good thing is that this upgrade won't be available for a while. Hopefully, Microsoft will find a way to smooth things out before issuing a free upgrade.

 NO MOVIE TIME THIS WEEK!  Please don't think less of me on this. I meant to see a movie, just forgot. I mostly got caught up with other things. I am REALLY behind on my YouTube subscriptions. I dedicated the week to watching a lot of YouTube videos to try and get caught up. Still behind, but I'm much closer now to that goal. I'll do a better job of trying to see a movie this coming week.

 Saber 42: Fighting The Friendless.  Well, if anyone thought Tassel was so annoying that you just wish he was dead, I guess you got your wish? Still, knowing his story and what lead him to be the narrator of this story does make it kind of sad to see him fall. In some ways, I'd like Touma to find a way to bring him back. Then again, the story would have more emotional weight and stakes if he stayed dead. Not sure what direction they're taking the final villain in. I wish Luna would just STAY IN ONE PLACE for once! Oh, and it looks like the story between Desast and Kenzan is finally coming to a close.

 Zenkaiger 18: Love Will Leave You Feeling, Blue.  Kind of bored, to be honest. We're finally entering into “too much filler” territory. I all ready have mixed feelings about the trope of villains using love as a weapon of evil. Oh, and this episode basically gave away the ending to Jetman. Thanks, Zenkaiger!(?) I don't know, that part just felt forced. Makes me wonder if they could have found a better way to resolve the episode without giving away the ending to a TV show. Yes, I know it's old, but that doesn't mean no one is going to watch it. Well, hopefully people liked this episode more than I did. But I did feel for Vroom, at least.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and forge ahead.

For those who know their Tokusatsu history like I do, there was a moment where Marvel could have kicked off the tokusatsu trend in the west before Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became popular in the 90's. They could have done it with Battle Fever J, obviously. However, Sun Vulcan was also a contender. Didn't know that? Well, check out "Almost Stan Lee's Power Rangers - The Crazy Story of Sun Vulcan & Young Dan Larson" by Toy Galaxy.
