Just saw Colorful Stage: The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing tonight. Going in, I was a total newbie to the whole thing, so the beginning was a little confusing. But, I’d say around the halfway mark, I was completely hooked, dying to know how the story would play out.

The movie’s music is really good! I’m already planning to check out a few of the featured “bands”, of which there were five: a rock band, hip-hop group, goth-lolita group, pop idol group, and an amusement park variety troupe. The goth-lolita group “Nightcord at 25:00” was my favorite. Check them out on Spotify if interested!

Oh, and for those who don’t know (like I did!), the movie is based on a rhythm game called Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! That’s where all the backstory and lore come from. It’s actually super interesting when you start to dig into it!

Bonus: This song was featured in the movie for a few seconds. I liked it so much I had to look it up. So good!

Quick Stop by the ER

“In the ER” Cedar Park, 2025

This morning, I headed to my local Urgent Care to get some swelling and redness in my leg checked out. The staff there took a look and were concerned enough to send me over to the ER for same-day bloodwork and treatment.

So, I ended up spending a couple of hours at the ER. The good news is that after an hour and a half, I got a diagnosis: cellulitis. It’s what we all suspected, so at least that wasn’t a surprise. I’ve now got a prescription for antibiotics, and I’m really hoping they kick in quickly so I can get back to my regular life.
