Now that Philadelphia has lifted its pandemic restrictions, we were able to get someone to run a cable up to our apartment, and we finally have internet. Hooray!

(During the installation, I discovered that our apartment building has an epic murder basement. I might have to figure out a way to go back down there and take pictures, because wow. Meanwhile, the technician from Comcast wasn’t fazed in the slightest. I was tempted to ask for his number so I could treat him to a beer and hear his story. I bet that guy has seen some shit.)

I have a list of horror movies that I’d like to watch, but the habit of watching anime has become so ingrained that I turned on my PS4 and went straight to Crunchyroll. Most of what’s streaming is the same shōnen and isekai nonsense, but there’s a cute slice-of-life series with 15-minute episodes called Let's Make a Mug Too about an all-female high school pottery club. It’s about cute girls doing cute things in between sessions of talking about their feelings, and it was clearly financed by a regional tourism promotion board. My husband, who is 43 years old and served as an intelligence officer in the military of a politically unstable desert country before becoming the director of an internationally prestigious graduate program, unironically loves this show and watches an episode every day.

In fact, he loves it so much that he’s started writing (in his head) his own anime, which he calls "Invitation of Bread." From what I can tell, Invitation of Bread is about three thirty-something women who leave their corporate jobs to open a bakery in West Tokyo. This sounds like a solid and surprisingly legit premise. I’ll try to get more details and report back.
