2/22 Cat Day Lolita Tea Party!

 2/22 is Japan's National Cat Day as it sounds like "nyan nyan nyan" and also happened to be our February lolita meetup date! So we had the theme of Cat, naturally.

I also discovered I don't have any cat prints... mine are mostly BABY's bears or usakumya, or sweets!  My one Putumayo JSK has a subtle print of Alice in Wonderland that includes the Cheshire Cat, so I wore that one~

Can you even spot the cat it my print? (Top right)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Creation

 Totally random post to show my character in Monster Hunter Wilds!  The Beta Tests (total of three times) allowed us to edit our characters with unlimited changes, so I tried to make it look like me.  There are some parts that cannot be changed the way I want, but I think it's closer than my World character at least!


I was unable to find a matching upper lip shape or a triangular nose, and the chin line is too round.  I actually plucked and shaved my IRL eyebrows to match my character better 😹

I also don't have eyeshadow as purple as the one I gave my character!  I should have gone for a pale pink instead.  The bump on the nose is also lower on the character than my bump IRL, but it's the closest I could get!  It's also the first time a bump nose was even available in Monster Hunter.  

So overall, I don't think it really looks like me, but I also spent about seven hours on it already and don't know how to change it further within the limitations of the system.

The full game launches in a week!  I ordered the steelbook (comes with two coasters) so I won't be able to play Day 1 as I must wait for delivery, but am still excited!

Do you play Monster Hunter?  Or have you ever tried to make yourself in a character creator in game?

Valentine's Day 2025

 Happy Valentine's Day (or Internet Friend Day)!  Here's to celebrating self-love, friends, family, and significant others if you have them!

I'm single so I spent the day watching Burn Notice with friends in discord, and then attending a board game night with IRL friends!  I brought salted dark chocolate truffles to share 😻and one of the other members brought canelés and a little cheesecake to share!  They were so delicious~
