We’ve been enjoying the live-action version of Yurukyan ゆるキャン△ which is airing now. I’ve read the manga and watched the anime, so it’s fun to see how the live-action version stacks up. It’s pretty much the exact same story, which is a good thing because the manga is so fun. I enjoy seeing all the cool おしゃれ camping gear too!
We usually celebrate the Lunar New Year at my cousin’s house, and this year there was a movie theme: Big Trouble in Little China! It was so cool. People were dressed in costumes, Big Trouble posters were on the walls, and the movie was playing in various rooms around the house. There was even a scene recreation out on the front porch:
We had a great time this year, and of course there was plenty of amazing food. Stuffed!
I bought a pair of new gloves the other day, and I love them! It’s going to be chilly while camping and I was planning on bringing some fleece gloves that I bought at REI, and although they are warm, they don’t “spark joy”. However, these new ones are really fun and functional. They are a blend or wool and synthetic material so they are comfy and warm, but the really neat thing is that there’s a finger cover that you can flip down which turns these finger-less gloves into mittens. It’ll be great for sitting around a chilly campsite.
We’ve been watching the dorama Yurukyan ゆるキャン△, and I noticed that the main character also has a pair of gloves like these. But her’s are superior in that the thumb also has a tiny cover, which mine does not. Oh well, for the price I paid, I can’t complain. Plus, the multicolored fingers are awesome!
Sumo is pretty awesome. I always enjoy watching the tournaments on TV, but one day I’ll have to see it in person. Bucket list!
Can’t wait to see this!
