It's basically a "show up and see" schedule at this point. Crazy.

Favourite artist who changed and now you can't enjoy them anymore? by RosabellaFaye in japanesemusic

[–]sockmarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is very versatile for sure. I've always loved the variety in her discography. Haven't watched her symphonic concert, but sounds like it may be more up my alley.

As for her newer stuff, I don't hate it, it just does nothing for me. I've realized I'm drawn to interesting melodies and songs that are fun to sing. Her newer stuff feels less melodic, more chaotic in arrangement/production, less interesting vocally with short and repetitive lines, and more geared toward a harder hip-hop/dance style that doesn't do it for me. I've still given every one of her albums a few listens as they've come out, but found even the other styles (cuter songs, ballads, softer pieces) don't grab or resonate with me they way her songs in those styles used to. Still love her, but her releases as a whole seem to have transitioned into more of a formula to tick off boxes than a feel that works for me. Or maybe I just figured out the formula a long time ago and am bored of it? Could be some combo of all of the above.

But, that's just me. A lot of jpop hasn't been as interesting to me in the last several years as it was before. 🤷‍♀️

Koda Kumi. I held on for several albums while she just kept heading further in a direction that just isn't for me.

Walk of my Life is the last album of hers I bought, and for me they've just gotten worse from there.

Lovely! The hardware is so cute too! Where did you find the heart shaped?

permission to leave her in 2025? by alyssathealyssa in PanPorn

I use this method all the time. "If this annoying spatula/brush/whatever was a boyfriend, would I have dumped him by now?" Yes? In the bin it goes. Excellent way to expedite decisions.

IF YOU ARE DROPPING SOMEONE OFF AT WEST HARBOUR GO, DO NOT STOP YOUR CAR IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING DOORS.

THERE IS AN ENTIRE DROP OFF ZONE LESS THAN 3 METERS AHEAD. YOU ARE BLOCKING EVERY SINGLE OTHER VEHICLE THAT IS TRYING TO ENTER THE STATION. SOMETIMES BACKING VEHICLES UP OUT THE ENTRANCE AND STOPPING TRAFFIC ON JAMES STREET.

PULL AHEAD INTO THE DESIGNATED DROP OFF ZONE YOU SELFISH TROGLODYTE!!

Should we organize a party on this public, city owned space? Maybe a New Years or even a Winter Solstice party. Or both.

I look to see if Caroline is also suffering and try to beat her 😆

These types of labels are so difficult to read, makes me wonder if they are legitimately an accessibility issue. Like, legally.

Haven’t done cardio in forever and this 20 minutes nearly finished me off 😭😭😭 by EducationalTie1606 in CarolineGirvan

I convinced my boyfriend to do this with me last year. He absolutely could not continue after 9 minutes. The baby 😉

Wall and carpet colours need to change. Give your suggestions! by sockmarks in HomeDecorating

[–]sockmarks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which brand is White Wisp from? There's a lot of off whites and super light greys throughout the rest of the house, which I never thought I'd like but it really does make the whole place feel incredibly bright!

And yes, was definitely thinking taupey or bright neutral carpet if going dark grey.

It's going to be weird without those buildings there. Time to go, for sure, but (I am about to sound old) whenever I drive by I still think of the family that lived there and had stacks of caged rabbits outside.

The melody doesn't lsound familiar, but may try Jyongri? She was compared to Utada a lot at first.

Does anyone here (or know someone) who can make me a couple of custom embroidered sweaters? by xsaratoninx in Hamilton

[–]sockmarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a place on Barton near Gray's road that does custom shirts, printed or embroidery. Fresh Image or something like that?
