Usual apologies for the extremely late post. Otherwise, as far as the news goes, the world is even more fucked than ever. With impending doom coming ever closer, let’s relax once again with g…

Sorry for the short break between posts and for not being very active in general lately. I’ve had a mountain of work to get through since the beginning…
Reading Log: March 2022
We made it through March! I quite like this month because the weather is improving (we’ll ignore the snow yesterday) and it’s my birth month, so I get…
Listening/reading log #30 (May 2022)
Aaaagh. That describes the last two months. I’m somehow simultaneously worked to hell and behind on my work. Makes me miss my government job a little bit, when…
Listening/reading log #31 (June 2022)
Everything is shit and we’re all doomed. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the music and the posts from around the community as usual,…
Listening/reading log #27 (January 2022)
Well, that wasn’t the start to the new year I wanted. But work piled on as usual. Fuck all this talk about “work/life balance” and de-stressing. As far…
Listening/reading log #28 (February 2022)
Time for the end-of-month post a bit late again. But what a fucking month it was. The invasion of Ukraine isn’t something I’ve commented on here or elsewhere…
Reading Log: March 2020
Man the world has changed a lot over the course of a month. Now we’re in lockdown because of the Coronavirus. I hope by the time we get…
Reading Log: March 2021
Another month of the year down! However, March includes my birthday so it’s a pretty bad time of the year in terms of my backlog growth. Let’s find…
Reading Log: March 2019
The third times the charm or something like that! We’re now into April and I’m still sat here writing this log, so things are going well. As always…
Reading Log: March 2023
Three months into the year, unbelievably. A difficult time for manga fans in the UK as Kodansha revealed US exclusive K Manga. Although I suppose that at least…
Reading Log: March 2024
March has been a pretty busy month, between my birthday and a weekend trip away as well as work starting to get busier there hasn’t been as much…
Listening/reading log #22 (August 2021)
Another month spent watching the world fucking burn. I mostly spent it working, and the parts I didn’t I spent mostly watching anime and doing other degenerate kinds…
Listening/reading log #23 (September 2021)
I’m tired. Do you ever feel like you keep walking even though you have no strength left, just because you have to? Maybe that’s the human condition. But…
Listening/reading log #25 (November 2021)
Turns out 2021 was a fucked year too. How about that. Just as we get to the end of it, we’re beaten down by yet another virus variant.…
Listening/reading log #20 (May 2021)
Damn, 20 of these posts. This feels like a landmark somehow, though that should really be marked at 24 instead, shouldn’t it? I don’t have anything special planned…
Listening/reading log #17 (February 2021)
Sorry for being late this month, work and all that. I’ve been doing these posts long enough now that I had to look up which number this one…
Listening/reading log #24 (October 2021)
Late again. I’ve been going through shit as usual, but that’s no excuse. All the more reason for me to post. First up: music. Juice (Ryo Kawasaki, 1976)…
Listening/reading log #14 (November 2020)
Well look, it’s December already and cold as fuck suddenly. I like winter better than summer, but that still doesn’t mean I like below freezing temperatures. I’m not…
Listening/reading log #16 (January 2021)
Here’s the usual month-ending post. One day early because of my very inconvenient schedule coming up, but if anyone posts anything astounding today that I end up missing,…
Listening/reading log #19 (April 2021)
Another month gotten through somehow. And no matter how much else I have to do, I’ll keep going here on the site. For now, let’s get to the…
Listening/reading log #15 (December 2020)
We’re at the end of the year, finally — now for 2021. Not that changing the year by one number makes that much of a difference in reality,…
Listening/reading log #26 (December 2021)
Sorry for the late post again; work has been drowning me, but every time this kind of rush happens it gets easier to deal with. Maybe this is…
Listening/reading log #21 (July 2021)
Another month has passed. Two months in this case, since I skipped June. But I guess I picked a good time to return. Since many of us are…
Listening/reading log #13 (October 2020)
I’m writing this a few days before possible absolute freakout time here in the States. We’ll probably be okay though. And if we aren’t, then we aren’t. Let’s…
Listening/reading log #12 (September 2020)
No, I didn’t forget — the monthly recap is here. And this marks a full year of them. It’s weird to think, I had the idea for this…
March 2021 Manga Reading Log
Here’s all the manga I read during my spring break!
Reading Log: August 2022
This month has continued to be busy at work, but despite that, some silly part of me agreed to a bet with a friend where I need to…
Reading Log: October 2022
After a reasonably quiet September, things got a bit nuts in October between work, flu jab, covid jab and then going to SLA. But hopefully, I’ve managed to…
Reading Log: February 2022
The second reading log of the year! Also the shortest month so I feel like this is where I make the least progress with getting through the backlog.…
Reading Log: September 2022
Out of the busy season and into a relatively calmer month. I feel like I read less this month than usual, perhaps because I was playing Soul Hackers…
Reading Log: November 2022
Almost Christmas time again aaaa. November has been a quieter month on the whole, so for once I feel like I’ve read more steadily than usual. Let’s get…
Reading Log: July 2022
Into one of the hottest months of the year and busiest times at work, but hopefully despite all that I’ve made some progress on keeping that backlog down!…
Reading Log: December 2022
Final reading log of 2022! This time I can add in some fun stats and charts to see how my backlog and reading have been going this year.…
Reading Log: January 2022
It’s the first reading log of the year and after making some sizeable purchases this month, I’m hoping I’ve managed to read away some of my January sins.…
Reading Log: June 2022
Given the backlog went up last month, my bare minimum this month is to have reduced the count of that. Let’s see what happened.
Reading Log: May 2022
Another month goes by, my backlog only grows and it feels like little progress is being made. But let’s find out if that’s true or not! Bold =…
Reading Log: April 2022
I have no idea where four months of the year have gone already, although Easter did eat my life for like two weeks because of work being busy…
Reading Log: September 2019
September came and went in a flash, I’m not even sure where the time went this month! I feel like I read quite a lot of good stuff…
Reading Log: November 2023
Christmas looms and it has already snowed before we even hit December 1st. The year has rapidly run away, not helped by this month being busy with Scotland…
Reading Log: May 2019
We’re now five months into the year! Time is going by too fast for my liking and I feel like I’ve read a lot less than usual, but…
Reading Log: November 2019
November went by in a total blur and I don’t feel like it should be almost Christmas again. I still have books from my birthday to read and…
Reading Log: December 2020
It’s time for the final reading log of the year, where I also work out how much time I’ve wasted away reading books instead of doing anything else!
Reading Log: July 2019
Now truly into the depths of Summer I return for my July reading log. Somehow I’ve avoided melting into a puddle. As usual here’s a link to my…
Reading Log: April 2023
Made it through April somehow! As usual, work got busy over Easter and I spent a good chunk of time gaming as I aimed to (and achieved) finishing…
Reading Log: February 2020
The second reading log of the year is here. In February I made a decision to try and pour time into getting through some of the pile of…
Reading Log: June 2021
Last month I started project Attack on Backlog, but between spending a weekend reorganising my books and a delivery of new stuff to cover for AUKN, my efforts…
Reading Log: July 2021
July went by in a flash and now I’m writing a reading log yet again. I don’t feel like I got a lot done this month but maybe…
Reading Log: May 2021
This month I started project Attack on Backlog, which I’m hoping will see me get through all the light novels I’ve been stockpiling over the last few months.…
Reading Log: February 2023
Time for the second reading log of 2023. I think the structure I implemented last month worked well, so going to keep that one going forward. Let’s take…
Reading Log: October 2020
Only two months of the year left, boy that flew by. This month I feel like I accomplished a lot by finally getting through the rest of my…
