Also, I have discovered NF, and binge his songs everyday (my favorite being the “The Search”).

Coding related: I am 3 exercises, 1 quiz and 1 project away from finally finishing the Python 3 course (I was going to wait until I finished it to post this but :woman_shrugging:). I’m also almost finished with the Phaser.js Skill Path, it’s such a fun one :nerd_face:

Non-coding related: I had a bunch of free time this week, so I baked cookies and apple muffins twice. (My Dad loves apple muffins lol). I also had a bunch of time to continue writing a story, I visited my grandparents…it’s been such a fun week.

Also Disney+ is almost coming out in my country, and I will finally be able to watch Avengers Endgame (no I haven’t watched it yet :weary: :triumph:)

Yep, I know it will destroy me too :slightly_smiling_face:. But I need to watch the portals scene.
I mean, it’s weird how I know most of the things that happened in Endgame but I still want to watch it, even though I know I will cry like a baby :disappointed:

Well, now I’m sad. Off to rewatch Into the Spiderverse for the millionth time.

OMG yassss
I’ve watched Into the Spider verse SO MANY TIMES (I’m not even counting anymore lol)…and my sister (and all my family, let’s be honest) is like “How on earth can you rewatch that movie again and again? You already know what’s gonna happen!!!”
Dude, it’s my favorite movie. The best movie ever. I am gonna watch it again and again until I’m old. (Let’s not think about getting old though).

And…too much rambling from me, as usual :sweat_smile:
P.S: sorry for making you sad

My brother constantly asks me that question. however, i’ve managed to corrupt him too, cuz we rewatch it together all the time.

Let’s not :rofl:

Well, my current mood has spurred on a re-watching of all my favorite shows (an occurance that rarely happens because of my insufferable 8am-4pm school schedule). so your fine. :grin:

By the way, have you heard of Wakfu?

Ditto. But I have many favorites so :rofl:

It’s actually a show. A french animated show. Soooo good.

Oh right, I just looked it up (should’ve done that from the beginning lol). It looks cool, I think it’s in Netflix? I might give it a try
