I got some awesome stuff for Secret Santa so I've been having pancakes with yummy maple syrup and maple butter:



Also I got these cookies with icewine cream which were quite delicious.

There were some cool books too, one for me and the rest for Mini:



I remember reading The Monster At The End Of This Book when I was a kid too :3:

But the really amazing thing Mini got was... some new stuffed animals from Charlotte's Web! :kimchi:



And I got this really cool pillowcase!





(the buttons are mostly Myst references, though I suppose the corn could double as a reference to Mondo... )

oh and ALSO, there was a USB stick to get me back as vengeance for the impossible puzzle I sent Asiina last year. On the USB was a ton of random Christmas lyrics and pictures, all scattered across a maze of branching directory folders... a "Christmas tree", if you will :v: A few of the branches contained special secret puzzles. I'll try and post some screenshots and stuff later, cause this poo poo is amazing and there was one particular picture I found really funny too, but that'll take some time and right now it's a bit too much work, sorry

but yeah,

Yay!! You finally opened it, the terrible dare curse has been lifted :3:

We had a prime minister who used free dive, scuba dive, etc. Evey time he went somewhere he'd go swimming.

He went missing one time when he was swept out to sea and was never seen again.

So with typical Australian wit we named a pool after him.

Mona which Kamen Rider should I watch after I’ve finished OOO’s? I’m about halfway done.

I have never seen any other Kamen Rider than OOO’s so it is currently Peak Kamen Rider for me.

I’ve also never seen any Super Sentai except Power Rangers.

Kabuto. It's #iconic. Secondary recommendation is Den-O.

Do not watch Decade. It's bad and trash.

If you've only see OOO I'd recommend you complete the set. 2009's Kamen Rider W (or Double, depending on who you ask) and 2011's Kamen Rider Fourze basically form a soft trinity with OOO as what I'd recommend anyone new to Rider to start out. It helps all three of them are really, really solid shows front to back. Fourze has some issues with writing down the stretch but it has the strongest protagonist of the three, for my money. (Watching all three also gives you context for Movie War Megamax, aka The Best Rider Crossover Movie)

After that, I'd recommend one of two paths. Like Pod said, Kabuto/Den-O is good, especially if you want some character shenanigans and not care as much about plot (especially Den-O. Kabuto is iconic but its writing gets really weird. Both have an amazing supporting cast though).

If you wanna jump ahead to the modern day, I'd recommend either Ex-Aid or Build. Build is great serious character drama while reslly sticking close to the roots of what makes Rider so special. Ex-Aid is also really good, its goofier but the main casts keeps the stakes interesting, though some people have a problem with the suits so it's a bit of a harder sell. (I don't but your mileage may vary.)

I'd pass on Gaim, Kiva, and Decade. Decade you can maybe watch later, but know the writing is very bad and its only held up by a fantastic lead actor and how people bounce off him. Kiva's plot is a cool concept that spends forever spinning its wheels. Gaim is Gen Urobuchi's writing at its absolute worse, is paced poorly for both bingewatching and weekly, and goes too hard trying to act like a "serious" rider.

I'm debating on whether or not to exploit my own ignorance and lack of knowledge about the Japanese language by travelling to Japan and try my best to stumble my way into a reality TV show and just be utterly confused and maybe slapped with some fish or something weird like you might see on one of those punishment game shows they do sometimes

Is this a good idea or...

And also the free wifi in the streets being faster than my home internet was a kick in the googlies.
