More of the Same

I was disappointed with the chocolate churro Pop-Tarts. Out of the four packets in the box, two of them were so hard I couldn’t even bite into them. The flavor was okay on the two that I could, but I wouldn’t recommend toasting them. On the plus side, I recently discovered the 12 pack variety boxes of strawberry, cherry, and blueberry. Now I don’t have to choose! Golden Grahams is sort of Nostalgic, but it’s definitely better now. I didn’t notice much of a difference overall, though.
 

It seems more people caught on that Gatomon could’ve been the DarkMaildramon that SkullKnightmon was riding on, so they changed it so that Gatomon had been turned into SkullKnightmon by Millenniumon’s dark power, not just trapped within him. That makes even less sense, and I hate that they would rather do something nonsensical instead of admitting we were right. MarineAngemon somehow between episodes gave them the power to fight and talk and breathe underwater as if they weren’t underwater. I didn’t quite like that, and it was weird that MarinDevimon just sat there and waited while Hikari had to calm Gatomon down from her freakout about SkullKnightmon and Digivolution. Everyone’s saying that Angewomon’s Digivolution was a Sailor Moon reference, and they’re not wrong. Otherwise, the Hacker’s Memory game is going well. Nancy Weeler and Brandeen have reached Dianamon and Lotosmon, and there’s still time left in the game for them to go back down to Ultimate and explore their other options (Sakuyamon and Kuzuhamon for Nancy and the Sistermon line for Brandeen).
 

RWBY hiatus is over. I liked the scene between Ruby and Blake where Blake tells Ruby she used to be like her but then thought she couldn't survive that way, so now she looks up to her. I explained that badly but it's a nice scene between my two favorite characters. It was kinda baller how Cinder helps Watts up but then puts him across her shoulders. Too bad they didn't say much. While that was happening, Kat and Flynt are in the army fighting Grimm, which Marrow doesn't like. He doesn't want to sacrifice any kids to this thing, but Winter says sadly that she would even sacrifice Weiss (and her friends) if she had to because of duty. That episode ends with an homage to DragonBall Z with Oscar as Piccolo, Salem as Radditz, and Hazel as Goku.
 

Wish I could trade weather with Texas right now, but I also see this as a karmic victory for one Jeremy Dooley. Negative 20 wind chill isn't funny, Jack.

I Have Notes

Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake might be my new favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor. Oreo Brookie-o's are thick, being one layer of regular cream, one layer of chocolate cream, and one layer of that chocolate chip cookie cream they did a while back. I also bought java chip and hazelnut Oreos, so those should be good too. What’s not good is Oatmeal Cream Pie cereal, although it did taste better the soggier it got. I want to get the Dunkaroos cereal, and maybe the retro Golden Grahams, though I don’t think there will be much of a flavor difference. Entenmann’s cherry cheese danish is the most delicious. Cinnamon Mini Wheats are good too.


Playing Hacker's Memory as a group. I have a Lunamon named Nancy Weeler (because the h wouldn't fit) in honor of Jack Pattillo (Dead by Daylight). I also currently have a Renamon named Brandeen (7 Days to Die), but I’m probably going to turn her into BlackGatomon and go from there (whereas Nancy will ultimately become Dianamon). Speaking of Jack, I looked up Ted Lewis's credits, and it looks like he was in Red Dead 2 also. Cool.
 

Gatomon has arrived in the new anime. She can talk to dogs (the Komondomon), and her plan was to use the sea current to travel, two things very unlike a cat. However, she also wants Kari to stay back out of the action, very much like a cat bringing you a dead bird because it thinks you’re too stupid to hunt and feed yourself. But in a nice way since Kari hadn’t gotten her Digivice yet, but now she has it. Next time is Angewomon, supposedly. After Patamon has consistently been Pegasmon, I was thinking Nefertimon would make an appearance soon too.
 

I have questions regarding the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss universe. Supposedly, there are some people who are being punished for their sins (it has been theorized that Alostor pulled Niffty out of a lake of fire), but it also looks like others are living their best lives in Hell. It's also unclear if Verosika was originally a pop star who went to Hell and became a succubus or if she was a succubus born in Hell who goes up to the living world in the guise of a pop star. People seemed to know who she was in both places. I wonder what the imps would look like in human disguises if they had them.
