    Just whatever I like :D The last record I got was a box set for Dir en grey's DUM SPIRO SPERO album. The outer box got pretty beat up in transit, but trying to figure out international exchanges/returns seemed like a big headache. I usually look on Discogs if something is out of print, but I've gotten records from local stores, Urban Outfitters, Target, HMV Japan etc. I think I have a decent number of records from Polyvinyl Records as well. What kind of speakers is your record player hooked up to? I have an AT-LP120X hooked up to Klipsch PC speakers since I haven't seen the need to upgrade yet.

    I have to go on a liquid diet soon-ish so I'm trying to eat all the things I like chewing until then! Recently, I made a spinach lasagna, subbing in roasted zucchini slices for noodles, to use up what we got in our CSA box. Truly did not miss the noodles at all! It had very good structural integrity. I think the key to avoid making it a soupy mess was to salt the zucchini slices for about an hour, rinse and pat off the excess water, then roast in the oven on a wire rack until they looked super desiccated but not burnt.

    I've been craving this lentil curry recipe. I'd previously made curries using cashew nuts but I am a lazy cook and thought it was a PITA. It never occurred to me that I could just use unsweetened cashew butter instead of dealing with actual nuts until I saw this recipe. Works great!

    I'm following Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Given right now. As for completed favorites that I've read all of, Fire Punch, Tokyo Ghoul, Warau Kyuuketsuki, and Our Dreams at Dusk I think? I have the omnibuses for The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and the deluxe editions of Hellsing sitting on my shelf waiting to be read - really need to get around that haha. I haven't read Berserk or Gantz but they're on my to-read list (eventually! one day).

    Hello! I'm a PO and my hobby is hobbies. Right now I'm getting back into Asian beauty/skincare, but some other interests I cycle through are: houseplants, vinyl record collecting, CD collecting, reading books (the last two books I read were "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" by Ottessa Moshfegh and "My Annihilation" by Fuminori Nakamura), reading/collecting manga, cooking, sewing/knitting, and fashion. I don't regularly play video games but when I find one I like, it's the only thing I do for awhile. I am quite nostalgic for old forum-style discussions so I'm happy to be here!
