mindstalk: (buffy comic)
It's been a quiet week in Montreal; I haven't left Monkland/Villa Maria, despite having 9 transit fares to use. I thought about it yesterday, to get mugicha and dim sum, but everywhere I want to go is 30+ minutes away, and I found little enthusiasm for it just to doing a bit of shopping. And today it's raining. Which might be all the more reason to spend time on a train, but meh. Bit behind on work too, and waiting for laundry... Though I've barely seen the 'underground Montreal' this visit, I should maybe check it out properly.

Shogun changes all the names. A friend pointed out that this means I don't necessarily know how it ends, perhaps the not-Tokugawa doesn't actually become shogun?

Finished Shirobako. Still fun. Reading Bakuman, the manga about making manga, now. The romance plot is hilariously terrible, even granting that the people involved are shy romantic 14 year olds. Well, 15 now. A friend said the writer wasn't good at romance in Death Note either, though my dim memories are that romance there was scarce and unhealthy, not unrealistic. She agreed that maybe he's not great at female characters in general.

I procrastinated on buying a plane ticket to Lisbon, and now it's notably more expensive. Feh. Also Portugal covid rates are ticking up a bit; a source says that Spain seems to be the only heavily vacced European country not throwing masks and caution to the wind. All the more reason to just go there I suppose, but there are no direct flights from Canada. Grrr.
