I'm Still Here!

I'm here with some updates!

Reading

I've been reading... but most of the books I read this year are surely from flower-picking trips and the library. Damn. Didn't think I would be doing that much audiobook-listening in my life but here we are. I'm in my audiobook era, apparently. It's a very irresistible method when you dread opening a physical (& digital!) books but still want to do some reading. I still won't touch those heavy ones but the ones that's easy to follow and maybe a book I've read before are very much welcome. I usually listen to one while playing a game that doesn't demand my full attention or when doing the dishes. I got peer-pressured (something like this XD) into reading two audiobooks but it's okay, I would just return early if I don't plan to spend time reading them. A couple of audiobooks are just to accompany my slow physical reading journey...

Oh yeah, one of the audiobooks I finished was "Real Ghost Stories of Borneo 1". I never heard about this series before but it looks like the Borneo's version of TSGS so I thought that was cool! One of the stories talked about their experience in KK and described the hotel they went to as a white castle.. Jeez, I wonder which hotel is that? :P
But seriously though, I consider that place to be old (I went there when I was little) so I wouldn't be surprised if some stuff happened there.

Books

I had a brief silly moment few weeks ago where I almost buy a second copy of "The Labyrinth House Murders"... totally saved by my LibraryThing (which is where I mainly catalogue books I own). I think it was partially me misremembering that what I meant to get is the one I got here. Highly recommend the site to anyone who has similar problems (or wants to avoid this) to use LT. I just started using it again back in 2020 when I realised I have a lifetime account (it used to have a limit on number of books you can add, if I'm not mistaken)... but then couple months later in the same year, they became free (no fees, no limits).

When was the last time I took a photo of books like this? XD

BBW books haul from October which arrived home on Nov 1st

Kino's, arrived today

The Clock House Murders
Yet another copy of "Howl's Moving Castle" :P

Anime

Great news~ I'm kind of out of the watching slump? I guess that's thanks to Tondemo Skill S2! I've re-watched the whole S1 and still enjoyed it (most of the time with food). But I'm so rusty with my I-know-that-seiyuu game XD. It was a pleasant surprise to know that Elrand is voiced by Namikawa Daisuke, it's so fitting! I wish we can meet Gonji soon but I guess that would be in the next season. Even in the WN, if I remember correctly, there's a big time gap between Dora and Gonji. At least Dora is here! I really need to catch up with the WN... I might need to start from the beginning again...

Rain, rain, come this way...

I'm here to complain about the weather~~~

We had a few rainy days every week this month but the other non-rainy days were just humid hot... the humidness makes it so much worse gahhhh I hate it!

So... I ended up going to the Matta fair at SICC last Friday with my family. Main reason of going: I wanted to be in a air-conditioned room (it was good cooled air btw! lol) hahahah seriously though. The weather is hot enough for me to complain at least once daily *sigh*

After that, we stopped by at Suria Sabah for lunch. Also tried llaollao frozen yoghurt for the first time there with Biscoff crumbs, pistachio sauce and Biscoff sauce as the toppings. Really loving that Biscoff sauce though, that's like one of my favourite textures for eating lol

Other updates:

Watching

I've been watching some of this season's anime but the watching slump is still so bad... Wouldn't surprise me if I abandon some of them (to watch for later)
Started watching "The Legend of ShenLi" (it will forever bother me that the official title isn't "Shen Li" or "Shenli" lol) and fell in love with the opening instrumental theme (another link, just in case). It's soooo good!

Reading

Finished reading "Queen of the Tiles". It was just okay, I guess. I don't particularly find the characters likeable. Including the dead character (not spoiler btw) the title of the book refers to.
Started reading "Chess"... I'm reading it very slowly so I'm pretty much still in the beginning...

Dark Thoughts

Reading has been... annoying.

I guess it's just the usual(?) reading slumps...? Although I am feeling a bit more mean in my head recently so that might has some kind of effects or something. I couldn't stand watching some videos on books/reading on Youtube so I've been DNFing them (the only times I like to use the term lol). I kid you not, mean-me was thinking how pretentious some of them are. I was rolling my eyes mentally, physically, subconsciously, and at times, belatedly (as I question myself why am I even watching this lol). I must be in my dark thoughts era (or... it could just be PMS symptoms *sigh*. They are usually that).

Oh yeah. Decided to decrease my daily reading pages goal again by half. It's either 5 pages per day or 5 months (or more) of not/barely reading any physical books. Of course that's an exaggeration... but I'm pretty sure I'm capable of doing that. Well, it might still happen in the future...

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Saw this on AmazonSG today (while I was just looking around randomly haha):

As seen on 2024-04-15

So... that's probably because of the anime, right?

Snacky Spoilers

Spoilers are like... snacks. You can't have too many of it. And yet, there'll be some days where you overindulge on them.

Which, in my opinion, is totally fine by me :P... Both ways...

It's only a bit overwhelming at times haha. My memory is crap anyway so I guess that must be partially why I'm okay with reading spoilers - because I wouldn't remember all of them anyway XD

[At the same time, I'm amazed with my selective memory :P... I could pretty much remember most of the stories I read, albeit some triggers/keywords are needed, I'm just still bad at remembering titles and character names haha]

But spoilers are good these few days. It helped me decide if I want to keep reading certain manhwa because spoilers bring hope~! Although, honestly, I could do without those MTL-ed spoilers - they mess my brain so bad :\

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Received a couple of books today~

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent LN #9 - Finally~! Although I guess it's just me rereading it in English this time :P... Speaking of this, I made progress in watching the anime today - I'm finally at the Hawke domain arc!!! *proud*
The Ark Sakura - I did start reading his other book, "The Woman in the Dunes", in the past (borrowed online) but didn't manage to finish it *sigh*. I wanted to get the physical version but the version I wanted doesn't seem to be in stock. I guess I'll try finishing this one first to really see if I like the writing style.

Hestia

On this day...!

I posted four times in the past on this same day and same month --- 2006, 2021, 2022 & 2023!

2006
Oh this one is about "Densha Otoko"... I haven't been watching J-doramas lately (especially since I can't watch Netflix anymore)... I guess that's the update :P

2021

It's one of those days.

The days where I catch myself procrastinating.

Oooof that's exactly what is [still] happening now. Haaaahh I really don't feel like doing it but I have to....

2022

Reading Schedule Generator! There was a period that I didn't use it... then when I got lazy about printing it, I just wrote the schedule down somewhere XD. I think the last time I was using it was to help with avoiding reading slumps (lol) until I started using the ReadMore app again. The app has its own reading schedule feature so I guess that means I still use one? XD

I don't use it for every book I read but currently I do use one for "Leviathan Wakes"....

2023

Oh! This one is a 13 Thursday post!

I could give some kind of updates(?) for some of them:

Anime

--- Still kind of in a watching slump, but I'm trying to watch a few of them (the ones I've read before)... it's a slow progress *sigh*

Games

--- I've been watching some of John Wolfe's playthrough on his JohnTwolfe channel... I enjoyed watching his Dredge playthroughs! I think that kind of got me back to wanting to read some H. P. Lovecraft stories (Thanks, John! Although I haven't started reading it... XD). He just started playing Stray so I'm excited to follow that one next! He's also playing Lethal Company with his friends & it was fun chaos :P

--- I am still interested in doing a Mass Effect Weekend thing but I need to think more about how I'm doing it.

"What's the point of cleaning if it just gets messy again?"

--- Yep.

Spotify

--- Currently I'm obsessed with this one track from Strawberry Night movie OST

Spam

--- I'm noticing a weird thing in this blog's stats page (I think I'm getting some of those spam clicks?). If it gets out of hand I might make this blog private for a while.

Reading

--- Reading is... sufficient(?) at this moment. I'm reading just enough. "Leviathan Wakes" is surprisingly a comfortable read so far (considering the stuff happening in the story), I'm enjoying it so far! I'm also reading "Death Notice" and I like the mystery~

--- Recently, I've been reading "For My Derelict Favorite" (Thus, post title = Female lead's name). It started from the manhwa and now to the fan-translated web novel. I seriously need to know how it ends! The antagonist is a good [quality] villain. She's not exactly the cockroach kind (I thought of using praying mantis b*tch, since she's a saintess but maybe not... since FL called her queen bee... so... Queen Bee B*tch??) I love how FL uses QBB own beliefs against the Queen B*tch herself (wait, am I missing a word? :P). I can't wait to read more!!!

Some short updates

I don't really need to post anything today (haha) but I like doing "1st post" posts...

Some updates!

Shopee - Didn't receive any replies since yesterday so I just submitted a refund request today.
Reading - Slow...? Even though there are a few books I wish to start as soon as possible... ??? Can I start and finish "Leviathan Wakes" safely this month?????
Anime - Still in a watching slump... The only one I'm watching is "7th Time Loop"~ It's kind of automatic because it took a lot of efforts to be able to watch them.
Youtube - Some... voices annoy me. I had/have fun DNF-ing those videos. I don't care anymore.
Reading Plans - I kind of have some vague plans of what I want to read this year but I don't want to commit to anything. The plans can easily change according to my mood at that time *sigh*. Some of the plans include the not-rigid list from way back in 2021(!)... also I wish to read the other books I haven't read in Asimov's Robot series... maybe reread some DWJ books...

A Report

■ Drink: Peppermint Tea

The format for this [BGSG] post will change this year so... I should at least make a report for last month's in this post.

The goals from 2023's December:

Big Goal:
Make progress with GR Reading Challenge (continued)

Small Goal:
Deal with Chrome tabs (continued)

We can just skip the small goal, which is basically untouched (unchallenged?) the whole month lol

I managed to complete my reading challenge but... at what cost? XD

Well, the cons include

---I don't remember much what I've read

---there isn't much time to digest what I've read (which might be best for books that I don't really enjoy, but the opposite for the ones I do enjoy)

---I was anxious(?) all the time

Pros

---I finally read some of the books I kept putting off reading

---learnt that sometimes pushing myself to just read is the answer. This is usually what makes a procrastinator like me moves.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Some updates on life (which is not much really lol)

I found an alternative way to watch "7th Time Loop" anime *sigh* but I was very salty about it all the time since the last post. Yeah, pretty much as expected, I ended up getting obsessed with obtaining what I want.
Last Boss Queen Vol 4 - I guess Gil isn't a hidden character (but I don't think Pride remembers the games much anyway so she might miss someone) as it's said that she met all five love interests in this volume. Prince Cedric was... he didn't make a good first impression to me but I don't really hate him.. and yet that doesn't mean I like him (as of now). You know, he reminds me of my early experiences with some oresama characters from otome games. Hmm.. it's a strange feeling. I used to like the character developments of such characters but I guess I've grown out of it now...?
I finally updated my so-called reading journal that I abandoned for months lol~~~ It's more of a quotes journal at this point... but anyway! I realised I've been using it since 2021! That's... crazy. I'll still use it this year for quotes but I have a separate reading journal I found on Shopee that I'm trying this year. Since I'm not going to be blogging daily, I thought it should be okay for keeping my thoughts on the book because the journal I found has a review section.
Youtube - It's a me problem (because it's related to my voice fetish aka attraction to nice-sounding voices :P) but I haven't been enjoying some videos on Youtube lately. I don't know why some voices make me cringe so much. And some have such an annoying melody to the way they speak that I just DNF the video in the end... It seems like I'm more sensitive to this recently that I started wondering how I survived living this long without encountering people with very annoying voices (there is that one person with quack-sounding voice back in school but we weren't in the same class/circle so I was spared from listening to them daily)

Yeah, this makes me sound very mean about people's voices, I'm probably am... but I don't make a fuss of it in public at least (although this blog is an exception, I guess, since it is open to public). It's one of the TMI facts about me that you unfortunately now know about XD

I don't really have a specific big and small goal now so I'm not including them in this post today... I am interested in making a list of goals that I know I won't achieve 75% of them though XD. It will be more of a throwaway list of goals so it might get interesting...

16th

I remember! (lol)

It's the 16th year of the day I started using the current url~

Didn't plan anything so this is just me stopping by to say "I remember!" haha

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

7th Time Loop anime is starting tomorrow but unfortunately it's not available for Malaysian audience on Muse Asia's channel --- it makes me soooo sad! It's possible that it might be available in the future but that means I can't watch it as soon as possible.... Unless... *mumbles* it's not like I need English subs anyway *mumbles*

I am still kind of in an anime watching slump so I guess it's fine (for now) but I still don't like not having access to something I want. It just makes me obsess on it more :(

I could spend those time re-reading the light novels (and web novel!)... Re-reading the manga last month did make me want to go back to that Rishe and Arnold's world again...

Of Anime and Jars

An OTD post~!

On this day, I posted thrice in the past - 2019, 2021 & last year~~~

2019

Oh, it's when someone used my e-mail to open a Netflix account!

Haaah... couldn't watch any Netflix shows since they started stopping people from sharing password few months ago :(

2021

This one is about anime...

Rewatched "The Saint's Magic is Omnipotent" last night while sewing the other half of the zip on my jacket. It was better when you watch it in one sitting lol..

Honestly, I haven't been watching much anime from this season. I guess the anime I watched from previous season really did a number on me since it caused an anime watching slump lol.. I did re-watch the first season of "The Saint's Magic is Omnipotent" and some earlier episodes of second season but progress is slow... I might catch up with S2 soon since it just ended (I think? I kind of recognised that thumbnail that looks like that scene XD).

2022

Oh gosh~

I have a new idea for another reading jar (I really love my jars lol). A TBR jar!

Damn. I didn't even get the chance to use it lol... now I'm "scared" of reading jars. Okay, maybe I'll be okay with the alphabet thing I mentioned before but haaah... the idea is still scary (=reading slump-inducing)

On to S2!

Woke up with a dry throat today. It's most probably due to dehydration... but it might be also the sick kind so let's wait and see. Currently, it's just a bit feeling of discomfort (but still annoying haaaaah).

Oh yeah, I finally finished re-watching first season of "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent". Had to skip scenes with Kyle because I can't stand any clown princes at this moment. Also, skipped Aira scenes when she's still with Kyle's entourage. I guess her character is fine - at least she's not a cockroach b*tch - but I really don't have a great impression of her character (very unfortunate) so I have no interest in watching her before she leaves Kyle side.

Also started on the second season (aww.. I'm just two months late lol) straight away and I'm surprised to see the opening scene! I guess we'll at least reach that arc in this season (including that one important scene, just because I saw it in the teaser... it most probably will be in the final episode).

Fangirling again

Posted in: # Sei and Albert | 1st post | 2023 posts | Anime | My Fangirl Side

Haven't been watching any anime recently (I guess it is some kind of anime fatigue from previous season lol) but yesterday I'm finally back into the mood~! For now, I'm re-watching first season of "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" before I start watching the newest season.

The result(?) is... I've started shamelessly fangirling over Sei & Albert again :P~ It feels so different watching the first season after reading the light novels. I got a bit teary-eyed watching how we almost lost Albert in the first episode... that dramatic scene in the end coupled with the ending theme was per~fect ♥

One thing I noticed (or more like "confirmed"), Sei is actually more angry (in a passive-aggressive quiet way) about the whole summoning thing in the light novels/web novel. I don't think it's shown that much in the anime (which is fine either way really, doesn't take away the fun). There's the whole thing about her keeping mum about her status (which indicated clearly that she's the saint) and her reluctance to let other people appraise/see her status.

Another thing. After reading various manga/manhwa with saints in them, I think this series has one of the best treatment towards a saint (excluding that Prince Kyle, of course). They are very respectful towards her. This includes the king and his aides.

Anyway... I'm fangirling over them again XD... Totally having fun seeing how smoothly Albert flirts with her and how Sei slowly falling in love with him~ ahhh & Albert's voice is so nice to listen to ♥

Thoughts from YT

It rained today :/

7th Loop Trailer 2

Yeah... just saw the trailer just now.... why does it makes me want to reread the light novels again...???

CMBF #8

Finished watching both parts today. Ah... I love the final song ("第一次做人") that was performed by Nicky Lee, Zhang Yuan & Derek Ma. It was such an emotional performance that I also cried a bit... Also, men that shed tears are beautiful~!😊😭 A well-deserved high score!

Anyway, watching the performances before them reminded me again how hard work doesn't always give what you aim for. No guarantee you'll get what you want. Of course, that doesn't mean you should stop... and I guess it's fine if you think you deserve to get them because you worked hard for it but sometimes it just don't go smoothly.

Joker

Some thoughts today~

CMBF #6

Just finished watching both parts of #6. Loved the performances in this episode! Quite amused by Nicholas Teo having a hard time doing an evil smile/laugh for his tribe's song ("Joker")... & their stage concept was really fun (I love the circus theme)! Had goosebumps watching them - I think they deserve their win.

...aaah I guess it's time to make my own Youtube playlist for my favourite performances on "Call Me By Fire" so that I can play them easily in the future~

Anime

Fall season for anime has started (including "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" S2!). I think I'm not going to [hopefully] follow many from the beginning... maybe only the familiar ones (I guess it's better that way since I need to re-watch the previous season of some of them...). I'll wait maybe five episodes before deciding to watch any new ones.

Reading

I might try to finish "The Homeward Bounders" tomorrow. Haaah... haven't decide what to read after that.

Some "cleaning"
This will be pretty gross to talk about but I really want to mention it here. We have been having frequent visits by a couple of cats recently (one stray cat, one neighbour's "lost" cat)... and the stray one was being weird! He brought a dead rat and a dead bird and left them in front of the entrance. Gah. Had to dispose them today ASAP before they rot more because I don't want to deal with the dead carcass smell in the future (ahhh I can already imagine the smell......). I guess they're pretty recent because I was still able to be near them [to pick them up].

Meh

Today mainly feels like this to me: 😑

Read something? 😑

Final episodes of anime I've watched so far? 😑

I'm saving ~~the best~~ "The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior" for last.

CMBF #4? 😑 (though more 😮 really)
Took me some time to finish both parts. Kind of sad that I can't watch certain performances (due to copyright issues I guess). Anyway.. dunno why I'm not vibing with this new season, the performances were interesting but... something is missing...?

...I hope this week will be nice to me...

It rained again

Random thoughts of the day...

✖ Picking a book by its cover
Been watching some book haul videos on Youtube. Suddenly had the thought that I would be so mad with a book that has a very nice cover but is not a good read. Like, that will feel like a fraud to me.

✖ Reading slump ≠ Buying books
I just love how these two co-exist in my current life XD. I don't wanna read more [physical] books... but I do want to buy more books, thank you very much. *sigh* There is some good in it though, I think I'm more picky because I'm distrustful at the same time.

✖ Quiet time
I usually like to listen to music while I read but I find them distracting recently. Sometimes I would prefer playing music without lyrics...

✖ Anime
I might have watched/followed too many this season... most of them are already near the end and I seem to have gotten bored of few of them (and super annoyed by one of them). I will still watch them until the end but I probably won't focus much and will use the 2x speed feature on Youtube more often.

I'm being mean again today

■ Mood: Anxiously excited
■ Drink: Iced Instant Coffee

I was in the middle of reading Volume 4 of "7th Time Loop" when a thought came to me. I might not want to read the web novel after this...??? Like, I don't want to spoil myself... or want to keep it a surprise or something???

NAAAHHH I'm just afraid of reading what's ahead I guess... I'm worried that something bad will happen (though it's already implied that from the beginning duh!) Ahhh this author always write stories like these...! I am reading two of her other stories that also have this "danger lurking behind" feeling to it... [& without shame] I ate it all up. Can't help it, my kind of story :P

In the end, I think I would read the web novel anyway... Out of fervent curiosity (unfortunately)... and fear of missing out. I need to know as much as I can...

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Received some more books via mail today.

"What You Are Looking For is in the Library" - ...Well, because it has library in the title XD
"The Forest of Wool and Steel" - This is about piano-tuners! Which I think is quite rare to find in fiction books.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Had a polarizing reaction towards anime today. The latest episode of "The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior" (#10) was crazy good (Pride was too cool near the end 😭🤩)... and then latest episode of "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale" (#22) [grrh almost typed out "Sugar Honey Iced Tea" this time] was... MEH 😑😒.

I really don't like Anne, huh. At this point, it's just me hate-watching the show. Like, I can't wait for this anime to end because I don't want to watch her anymore! When the villain talked about wiping out humans (not exact words), I find myself agreeing with him lol...[....and here I am siding(?) with the villains again *sigh*]. The only scenes I can watch are scenes without Anne. Barely. Because some of them like to talk about her. (WHO CARES) If only there's a way to automatically blur out her appearance in the anime... and maybe mute her lines because I don't wanna hear her speak a word 🙄

Sugar Apple Iced Tea

Posted in: 2023 posts | Anime | In Zombie Mode | No Mood

Urgggh I feel extra clumsy today... I guess that's what you get when you skip a night's sleep... *sigh*

And my brain is soooo slow. Oh, and I get easily irritated. I almost couldn't continue watching the few episodes of "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale" [...almost typed out "Sugar Apple Iced Tea" LOL] I haven't watched. Seriously, the small things the MC did in the show... goshh...so annoying. Sometimes it sounds like she's just repeating what other people just said or saying something obvious...ggrrrh why do I find her so annoying??? Like, just don't say anything if you don't have anything useful to say!

..haaah.

Sad

My weekend kind of ended up with sad... stories. Lol. It's not really the angsty, tragic kind. Just.. sad.

Good(?) news is I've caught up with most of the anime I'm watching this season! The one anime series I kept postponing to watch was "The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior". Just because I wanted to finish reading the manga first... I heard the manga is cancelled so now I'm still contemplating whether I'm going to read the web novel later or not. Yeah... this one is so good! I consider this one of the sad stories though. With all the flashbacks, I just feel like the story is haunted by sadness or something. It's happy and hopeful for now... but it has a sad vibe when you compare new scenes to the original [timeline] story.

I also started watching S3 of "Call Me by Fire" (here)... Noticed many artistes from Taiwan for some reason. Interesting.

Red Dragon

It's a day of getting things done(?)...!

Maybe I'll finally go through the unwatched anime in my Watch Later playlist today???

Also, I feel like I've broaden(?) my horizons or something. Today, I found another web novel about a lady with a broken engagement. On the way home, while she was busy thinking how to explain to her parents about her engagement status, her carriage got involved in a dragon attack. She lost consciousness and woke up as a dragon! She apparently body-swapped with a red dragon and is now in danger of being killed. The best thing about this is... that's not the craziest part. The second prince wanted to keep the dragon alive. When everyone made a fuss about it he asked the dragon to lower her head and he gave her a light kiss on her mouth. It's their country's custom that when an unmarried man and woman kiss in the public, they have to get married - OH YES, that means he's going to marry the dragon! After they got together(?), the dragon started acting like a housewife... can you imagine how she's doing that as a dragon???? TOO FUNNY~~~ Oh yeah, the prince is described to be a bit black-hearted too so I look forward to seeing more of that lol~

....got too excited with that but most of dragon stuff do that to me so it can't be helped (huehuehue). Dragons are fascinating!

ループ7

Random point---Kyaaa I love how the title is shortened to ルプなな in Japanese!

I just found out from my YT recommendations (good job!) that "7th Time Loop" has an anime coming soon next year!

As usual... was playing "Who's that seiyuu?" again and I got it right~! I usually couldn't recognise him but I was thinking, "Hey... that sounds like [Shimazaki] Nobunaga..." ...and YES, it's him! He's voicing Prince Arnold~

Ahhh now I want to read the manga again... What a good timing it is that I got the light novels to read later as well (there's also the web novels, I guess I can read that after I run out of light novels to read)... it's like my subconscious mind knows there's going to be an anime in the future (no, of course lol).

Screencaps from the trailer~

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Been having some vivid dreams lately and honestly, I don't like them. I don't remember much though other than them being pretty realistic... though one dream involved me getting back to school (the usual theme haha) and apparently I returned too late (like the teachers thought I wasn't coming or something). It's like in the middle of a semester (didn't realise it at first) and I only have like a couple months left to prepare for a big exam. Gah, so scary!
