Good and bad news

Adopted two new Pretty Cure series: Nyan Raid Pretty Cure and Asterism Star Pretty Cure!

  • Nyan Raid Pretty Cure is about abandoned robots in a cat cafe and their cats while their entire society becomes destructive. I think I'm going to size the cast down. Maybe just to Haruki, Momo, Yuki, and Fuku, the four characters with images? No, not four, or else I'll think of it like Pastel CafĂ©.
  • Asterism Star Pretty Cure is about a catastrophic event that sends all inhabitants of an alien planet to Earth.

The bad news is for some reason there was a millisecond of a blackout/power surge. It was a sunny day. And it was so short that several of the technology did not restart (ex. my speakers, the oven, and microwave) I have a power surge protector on all my tech, but when I started up the PC, it was asking me for a Bitlocker code, and told me the computer couldn't load my stuff correctly because "SrtTrail.txt" wasn't working or something. I think SrtTrail is a file specifically for startup, maybe for logging the startup itself? It said I could either shut down the computer or somehow continue.

I click continue. I got some "Windows is updating" repairs, I hope that fixes the problem, whatever it is, because I can now log on, but I don't think it will. I heard some people that skip the Bitlocker process (which I did) get the Bitlocker message every time the system starts up, which suggests a bigger issue in the computer, even with the repairs the Advanced Repairs couldn't do but the Restart could somehow.

I am typing this on my computer. Thank God, The Lord Almighty, because a LOT of those files aren't backed up.

Probably just some corrupted non-personal Windows files, wait, not "just", corrupted Windows files is a huge deal!

Note to self to try this before shutting down/restarting PC for the day/night.

Getting stuff at the store

  • Got an LED heart mirror that I thought the reflective part was scratched. It looked like a protective film, and it felt like one, and it quacked like one, I was just too afraid to peel it off.
  • I also got a Hot Topic-exclusive Mitsuri Kanroji Funko POP that my sibling is annoyed that I got, since I never seen Demon Slayer and I don't know the context. I think she's just really defeated or drained from combat. It will fit nicely with my Ghostbusters Funko POPs, including my duplicate Egon Spengler that I painted the box of and my Abby Yates Funko POP that's currently in the shed.
    Also, why does she get a unique eye color and "shape" when the other Funko POPs, but Sailor Moon, for example, just gets the black button eyes?
  • Complimented a cashier's Miku pin. 

Hiatus(?)

Today I announced that the inactivity on my social media platforms is no coincidence, and announced an indefinite hiatus from my social medi...
