    Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins

    Many tracks on this remind me of spring - very bright tones and a very happy vibe. Even the darker ones like Thunderstorm are not so dark as to not be approachable and fun in the middle.

    Takanaka's catalogue is fantastic! The Rainbow Goblins gets a weekly play from me. Bangers through the whole thing.

    I haven't been able to totally gather how old you are, but let's just say it doesn't matter. Assuming you're in your mid thirties with the child care comments, I think you should take a step back and analyze your approach to hobbies. I have friends that fly drones competitively, play DnD, collect books, run 100+ mile races in the mountains, and play the ukelele. This is just a few of the hobbies. When they are NEW hobbies especially, each friend is very talkative about these and I really enjoy learning about what they are passionate about.

    Empathy is what your goal should be. She has a somewhat new hobby that could culminate (for her) with a half marathon. This is your wife we're talking about, the person you should support the most out of anyone.

    Arrogance and your "great self esteem and plenty of personal achievements" are very clear, you had no need to write that sentence.

    I've recently found Huey Lewis and the News. What a unique voice! I'm just a BIT late. Enjoying some of the gems from their greatest hits and trying to play a few of the basics on the guitar.

    the lightning divine beast can be cruel because of the shape of the fighting field. still, repeatable patterns, and if you load up you should be able to take him out. It always sucks to drop your stuff. I don't necessarily love the lighting/electric dynamic.

    the author is basically reddit's wet dream, which says both positive and negative things. Near the top of the /r/fantasy series ranking list. I'm convinced half of it is the audiobook narrator, but the books held my attention unlike basically anything else I've read so far.

    It's not horror, but it's sometimes rather dark. Have you read all of Joe Abercrombie's FIRST LAW series? It does have 9 books but you can DEFINITELY stop after the first three, or read the standalone middle three, or choose any path you desire. The audiobook narrator is absolutely amazing, if that's your style. It's not like the Wheel of Time or some massive saga. The plots are relatively simple - it's the characters and their thoughts that make it what it is.

    I am on the 6th Expanse book and am really looking forward to the part of the story that I've not seen before (the show was great!). Books 7-9 will be awesome.

    I've been running for years. I have a 24hr race next month, and the furthest I've ever gone is around 100k - once in a 100miler DNF and another in a 100k race. My training has been suboptimal as far as long runs go versus standard ultra plans, but what can you say? Did a 38miler last Saturday, ran a few times this week with no issues, and am looking at another 30-32 range run this weekend with a little test of run/walk.

    Racing is not really my favorite thing but I try to get out there a couple times a year, if I can...
