Christmas is over and I'm back on the super-worried about / couldn't-care-less about COVID-19 rollercoaster ride. Leaning more towards worried right now since we started a lockdown on Boxing Day and case counts remain high, so it will be a few weeks at least before I go through the next bout of pandemic fatigue. We were careful through the holidays and didn't see anybody, which was actually pretty damn nice and relaxing; I might do Christmas like this again next year. But I'm sure quite a few people out there thought, "You can't keep us from our family Christmas traditions" and still did stuff anyways. It's could be a fun () 1-2 weeks watching the cases continue to climb We also got the new COVID variant goin' on here in Ontario. Is it really that hard to just do the quarantine thing after you return to the country? Two weeks isn't that long, is it..?

I got my kiddo Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack for Christmas, so I gotta get started playing it soon.

I'm not sure if we can play online. I think I cancelled Switch Online. I'll have to look into that... sounds like fun! The duck is almost done and looks and smells pretty amazing

My daughter loves Taiko no Tatsujin so I got her the Rhythmic Adventure Pack for Christmas. She also got art supplies and books and some other random stuff. The toddler got board books and magnetic shapes that you can build stuff with and and music-making toy. We're roasting a duck tonight. It's gonna be gooooood None of us are crazy about turkey. Normally that's what we'd be eating tonight if we went to Christmas at my sister's house (because that's where my mum spends Christmas every year) but we'd never cook a turkey just for ourselves.

If she can go home today then I'm assuming her recovery is going fairly well so far..? Take good care of her while she's on the mend!

I'm not sure. The cynic in me assumes the reason is to maximize merch sales before the change comes into effect. I think they've stopped putting the Chief Wahoo logo on all their hats and jerseys, but a quick look at their official store website still shows a lot of jerseys with "Indians" across the chest.

I didn't really read all of the details at the time the news broke. Apparently they're dropping the name *after* the 2021 season. I guess some folks are gonna be mad about that. If they're dropping the name, just do it right away like other teams have.

This season is gonna be a wild ride

That's pretty cool. Not that I'll be watching much, but I like the idea of a shorter schedule too. 82 feels like too much. With half the league making the playoffs, they don't need to play that many games to figure which teams should make the cut. And playoff hockey is far more interesting. Shorten the regular season and get ib to the good stuff.

Can it please be next week already

Yikes. Get well soon!

I'll have to look at the chapter list again to be sure, but I think chapter 135 + 3 more chapters will make 1 more volume (usually 4 chapters per volume) so chapter 138 would be a nice place to wrap it up.

CR's website and apps are all pretty crummy, but I still use it to read AoT. It's easy (when it works). Feels like we're nearing the end now. I wonder how many chapters are left to go.

It's up on Crunchyroll if you are a subscriber, that's where I read it

@Anelle have you read chapter 135 yet?

That's a bummer, get well soon you guys. Sounds like it's become a pretty rough situation out there in Alberta (not that were fairing any better in Ontario).

Reports came out over the weekend that Cleveland is planning to change their team name. I'm surprised they held out this long.

That must have been covered near the end of S2 after they finally opened the basement

Something big is happening soon, might be another week away though

Ontario is still very COVID-y. I think we're doing worse than ever up here in terms of case counts, though perhaps not as many people are dying because the situation at old folks' homes isn't quite as dire as it was in the spring. But still there appears to be way more infections and community spread than when the whole province shutdown in March... and we're kinda just carrying more or less like business as usual. A few schools in our school board have declared outbreaks recently. So far I don't think there have been any confirmed cases at my daughter's elementary school. Here's hoping it stays that way.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about Digimon. I'll definitely stick with it. I like the new ED Yeah it's probably gonna be trash but it might be a nice light hearted diversion during a shitty covid lockdown winter. Isekai Quartet was fairly well received last year. I think these cutesy shows tend to do well. Might as well give it a try. Stray Dogs already had a pretty good sense of humour and some funny characters so it might actually be alright.
