I dropped two songs from my music hall of fame: 'Victory' from FF Legend 1 and 'Ancient Hatred' from A.S.H. They weren't good enough to listen to 100 times. However, I added 'Final Phase' from Railgun T by fripSide, which is longer than both those songs combined, so my hall of fame is actually longer than ever, though one song smaller. I'm a huge fan of Railgun and fripSide always seems to do its best work alongside it.
The DanMachi ova is out, so that's nice.
I made two edits to my '100 Waifus' novel. The first was a minor clerical correction, switching the male to female suicide ratio from 5:1 to 4:1 to better match current data. The other was a more vital plot hole filling. For anyone who has watched the Fairy Tail anime or read the 100 Years Quest manga, it's obvious that Mirajane is comically attached to her siblings, to the point that even obvious frauds masquerading as Elfman or Lisanna can beat her up while all she does is cry and ask why. Even when the fate of the world is at stake or the lives of her comrades, she can't bring herself to oppose even something that looks vaguely like Elfman. This is clear in the actual franchise, but it wasn't ever explained in the book itself, so a lot of people were probably still confused as to why Mirajane would ever agree to marry Christopher-masquerading-as-Elfman. I added an extra sentence to her dialogue in Chapter 7 to hopefully clarify things:
"In the end, I have a well known and often exploited soft spot for both my siblings, I can never deny them anything." Mirajane said.
Plot hole well and truly filled.
Instead of reading 'Back to Blood,' I bought Charles Murray's latest book, 'Human Diversity,' and have been avidly reading it. I'm already a good ways in, but it's a pretty thick book. One of the things I like about books like this is I no longer have to provide evidence for statements like 'the sexes are different, the races are different,' if anyone challenges these obvious truths I can just tell them to read Human Diversity like I have and learn the truth for themselves.
I have learned a few new things from the book but mostly it's just confirming what I already knew with endless reams of data.
