Happy Birthday, my friend!!   

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!   

A weekly update that's on time? It's a miracle, my crowd~! 

 To start things off, we had a holiday recently. April Fools Day! I avoided being fooled, but I still managed to fool some friends.  That's a win in my book.

 Keeping some friends of mine in my prayers right now. Not gonna tag them out of concern for their privacy, but they've been having medical emergencies in their families. I hope things clear up and that everyone makes it out healthy and safe. 

 In the meantime, I've been having some great days~!  I got to try Rice Krispy Treats made with Peeps, but I may have to make it from scratch. The method I used was not ideal. I got some Gundam markers and some adhesives for my model kit. I got to eat out at some nice places. And to top things off, I finally got something I always wanted... One of those waving lucky cat statues! This one is small and solar powered, but it's in just the right colors.

 And the last personal thing to report is that a long chapter in my life has finally come to a close. I've been holding onto some short music clips since the late 90's. The source of the songs? Unknown. I had no way of identifying these songs. I was afraid I never would. However, thanks to the website WatZatSong, the mystery was solved in record time! All 6 songs were identified; and the albums they come from can be purchased for REALLY cheap if I want!  I doubt I have any other mystery songs in my inventory, but if I do, I now know where to go. Isn't the internet fabulous?

 Gotchard 29: All Fox, No Ace.  The episode started off strong with a mystery. It was cool seeing Gotchard in his red samurai form again. Fitting for a set of episodes like this; though it's probably the only highlight of this episode. That and Gotchard's friend being the one to become brave enough to earn all those new Chemies for a change. The ending just leaves me confused. Are we not wiping people's memories anymore? Why was their professor called over? Are they just going to let Kaiji, the medium, and the land sharks go? Were they just lingering on that shot for sentimental reasons? I am so confused!

 BoonBoom 05: Better Sirens!  It's the premiere of Boon Black, and I gotta say, he's giving off all the Go-On Black vibes. However, I think he might actually be a better police officer. Furthermore, he has an axe. Is there ever a time when an axe isn't cool? That it's kind of strange how the axe, in “rod mode”, looks like a backwards sword. That's mildly annoying, but still pretty awesome. Lastly, this episode didn't quite play out the way I would have written it, but it still works. It got to where it needed to be.

 Now that 5 episodes of BoonBoomger have passed, I think I can make a judgement call. ...At least, that's what I want to say. At this point, I have no idea if I am going to keep watching. I want to take a break and distance myself from Tokusatsu for a while. A show like BoonBoomger is a fine show to step away from simply because it is a good show. But part of me wants to keep watching.  The tone is perfect; not too silly, but not too serious either. The characters are precious. Most of all, it feels like they are building up to a mystery with a big reveal. So all I can say now is, I want to think about it a little more. If I don't report on BoonBoomger next week, it means I am taking a hiatus. If I do report on it, then I'm officially addicted~!

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and bring on the good luck.

No better way to celebrate April Fools than with a classic case of mistaken identity. This is "OMG SONIC IS SMOKING?! [Home Movies/Sonic Parody]" by RocketDogShawn.
