I fell into the silly trap of thinking I was gonna finally get my life together during this week. So far, it has not happened. Finished Crisis Core: Reunion (me during the final scene: oho, oh boy. I am ready to get my heart shrapnel'ed into a million pieces.) and immediately started replaying FF7: Remake. Which I guess has become my comfort game.

I did write out my resolutions though. The typical stuff. Lose weight, cook more dishes out of my cookbooks. Journal, order something from Small World Seafood, maybe try fishing as a hobby. And of course, read more. I read six books in 2022. Six. That's pathetic. I read more in 2021 but for whatever reason I just fizzle out and stop finishing books in August. I'm reading Salmon Wars right now and I'm only maybe a dozen pages in but I like it.

Cooking a cioppino for New Year's Eve eve since we're going for a nice dinner tomorrow night. I'm skipping the fennel, because fennel is butt. Gonna throw in halibut, clams, mussels, scallops, and I'm debating snow crab or not. Serving shrimp cocktail and crusty bread on the side.

Edit: also a fun fact about me; when I eat eggs, which is fairly often, the eggs in white shells make me nauseous but the eggs in brown shells do not. I don't know why this happens.

Couldn't get into FF7:R. I read that they went way off the rails at the end, which is par for the course in a FF. But they weren't true to the source material. The gameplay/battle mechanics didn't appeal to me either, but maybe I'll revisit it on hard mode.

Yeah the ending was weird and even after multiple playthroughs I’m a little ??

Hence why it’s a remake tho. They’re going in a different direction. But I never played the OG so I get why some folks are peeved at it. I wish they redid the ending of Reunion to match but 🤷🏻‍♀️

The OG was my first game on my PS1. So yeah, didn't translate well.

Snowcrab may be hard to find or hard to find at a reasonable price. A couple months ago I read that millions of crabs are missing and Alaska cancelled their snowcrab season this year.

Glad to see there's someone else as naive optimistic as me in that New Years resolutions are still a thing. I need to do my year end retrospective/write out next year's goals, but I'm a little apprehensive of looking at what I wrote last year for fear of falling short.

(Also, you're one book ahead of me, if that makes you feel any better. cries in "22 books for 2k22" goals)
