Ukulele-chan isn’t Scary (1)

Well, I forgot to do my post-show review because I was so tired after the stream, but a lot happened. It was a long weekend – we got hit by Tropical Storm Lala and it knocked out the power and internet for several days. It wasn’t back in time for Monday’s show, so that was cancelled, but that was ok because I was pretty tired already. I’ve been tired, for what seems like weeks now. I did get to play a LOT of ukulele while the power was out, which is one of the best parts of playing an acoustic instruments.

I was so tired on Saturday that I rested all day and then the power went out and I was all awake for the night. Over slow cell data I watched Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary, which was pretty fun to watch in the dead of night with no power. The Japanese ghosts and horror was pretty fun, especially through the lens of a haunted preschool. It started off as a monster of the week kind of thing, but I actually really liked it once it got into the broader storyline. I’ll leave it at that as to not spoil anything, but it got me looking back to see what else I missed in the Winter 2026 season.

Anyway, todays stream started with a pretty fun chat about anime and isekai before getting into the music. Even with only singing for part of the time, I was still exhausted by the end. I keep thinking I’ll get used to the energy expenditure, but maybe I’m wrong. Idk. Will just keep trying for now I suppose.
