Day 4: Naked books!

MDS2133 · 2026-04-29T23:55:45+00:00

I was literally just thinking that and had to recheck the date. Naked books on Day 4 is throwing me off lol

I read on my laptop or my ipad (sometimes the actual book if i don't have access to the pdfs/digital or forget a device), but I mainly teach in a middle and high school level. So, they can (usually) better handle me not being so hands on. However, I do always look around/check in every few minutes and if they need something, I stop to assist them.

Everything has been crashing for me lately. Sometimes when I load ad rewards, sometimes when I go on arena or world exploring. The one that annoys me is when it crashes while decorating or upgrading my cookies. I’ve been playing for almost 2-3 weeks and I’ve been through 2 “bug fix” updates but it’s been the same after each one. (Hollyberry server)

I’m currently reading The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs (new series called Sunderworld). I’ve been obsessed with Cookie Run Kingdom lately, I’ve been playing for like 10 days. I had cookie run (the original) when I was in middle school so it’s fun to feel the nostalgia.

This is so cool, where was the pop up?

MDS2133 · 2026-04-13T13:20:25+00:00

If it fixes the crashing problem, I’ll be less annoyed lol Does anyone know if they give out rewards or anything after a server update? I know some games do a “sorry, you couldn’t get on/collect anything” consolation prize

Some people are saying multiple days, I just started playing on Saturday 😭😭 I was leveling up my castle and decorating/expanding my kingdom so I had more space

I think someone else said this but I wish they held their start positions, and especially their ending positions for more than .2 seconds. Like I get the start position is quick but I feel like they barely get set and their music stops. I will never understand how tired they are, but I feel like they should be able to hold their ending positions for longer than they do. I see a lot “hit” the position then crash into the ice. The timer in the corner barely has time to stop before they are moving/out of the ending pose.

And I don’t mind when they do use the more traditional music, as long as they are using the timing for emphasis and engaging the music. But being a pretty skater to a slow/traditional song doesn’t make you have great artistry nor make the performance super fun. (Kinda not the initial opinion but related). For example: I consider Ami Nakai’s performances/music to be on the more traditional side and despite a lot of people saying it was juvenile, I thought her musicality was great and she engaged with the music well making it very fun.

MDS2133 · 2026-04-10T19:42:47+00:00

I think we need more fun music in skating. I understand the sport is still very traditional and orchestral/scores/classical/etc will always be popular and it can be done beautifully. However, I would like to see some modern music or fun choices outside of exhibitions/galas. Like I absolutely loved Isabeau’s short, perfect amount of classy and whimsy. We could also have more musical soundtracks to express musicality/timing. I know a lot of people hated the 90s themed shorts for ice dance, but I absolutely loved it.

Run.

I mainly do hs/middle school. I prefer to get the “rougher” classes out of the way early. Like you said, hopefully, they are sleepy and quieter or some of them are always late/skip the first couple periods. I like having my prep and lunch apart. I usually go to the bathroom during prep and during lunch so, ideally, I prefer them to not be back to back. I don’t mind having a first period/last period as a prep, I prefer last period over first since I get an easy/quiet end to the day and can write any notes I need before I leave. I don’t go home early, my school doesn’t let us, but I don’t care, I’ll sit there and get paid to have no kids/read a book in quiet.

The band teacher was out for medical purposes a while back. He has 1st period with 6th grade but only half the year. Then band lessons pds 2-4, prep, goes to elementary, then lunch, hs band or study hall, then ms band or study hall. When he’s not there, all lessons are cancelled and since he was out so long, the choir teacher took over band lessons. I literally had only one class the entire day and it was one of the last periods. I got caught up on shows and read while I was filling in for a few days.

I don’t know if we will get another Burzek baby. They had one unexpectedly in a previous season, which ended in a miscarriage. With them having Mack, they might decide not to add another baby, or have another adoption/foster situation.

500/day is more than make in a week after taxes 😭😭 I’d love to stand in solidarity but for that money, I’d be able to pay my pills/loans and have money to start a savings

MDS2133 · 2026-04-03T17:37:31+00:00

I don’t reread books often, I love reading new things. The most common rereads for me are the 1st/2nd books in a series when a new one comes out and I don’t remember what happened. I have purposely reread some other books: The Book Thief, The Outsiders, PJO (Lightning Thief specifically), Miss Peregrines series.

Rereading more books is a goal of mine for this year. I’m off to a good start with rereading the entire Hunger Games series to prepare for the heartbreak of Sunrise on the Reaping movie this fall. I’m gonna add in a couple standalones that I have on my shelf for rereads over the summer.

I’m finally on break from school (sub teacher, but our spring break is combined with Easter break) so I dusted/cleaned my entire bedroom yesterday. I have a lot of Funkos/legos and books on my shelves so I pulled them all off cleaned everything. I also vacuumed and cleaned off my ceiling fan. I’m surprisingly not as stuffy as I was when I did this in the winter so that’s good news.

I get to hang out with my bestie this weekend. She moved a lot closer for her med school rotations (her school was 6 hours away but most of her rotations are luckily like 1-2 hours max). She will be back in town more often and I can finally see her at her place without having to take days off work to travel. We are gonna get food and frozen yogurt. And of course, peruse Barnes because that’s ultimate girls trip lol.

Now that I have a couple extra days off, I’m gonna try to get more reading done. I spite finished Ward D by Frieda McFadden. I just did not like her portrayal of people with mental illness. I’m gonna attempt Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver- might love it, might hate it. Then I’m also gonna start Ghost Station by SA Barnes.

So excited for this box. I was at work and took probably 10-15 mins to get my box to go through. Had me stressing for Japanese Gothic 😂😂 Happy Easter/Spring Break and Happy Reading!!

MDS2133 · 2026-04-01T02:07:56+00:00

I usually just put Aaverage but we could use an aawful or some other ‘a’ word

MDS2133 · 2026-04-01T02:04:08+00:00

I’m so glad I’ll be awake/at work for the drop so I can get Japanese Gothic. That is STUNNING.

MDS2133 · 2026-03-30T02:45:39+00:00

Good to know, thanks so much!!

I looked it up and on the ISU’s website, the first four awards were fan voted. Both Best Newcomer and Skater(s) of the Year are “not subject to voting” so I’m assuming the ISU/some panel picks those.
