Life Lessons with Uramichi-Chan Episode 1 Review

 Life Lessons with Uramichi-Chan Episode 1 Review

So, I know I'm very late to watching this anime. But I just started watching it, so I don't care. The show is a simple life of life, gag, comedy anime. And while I don't normally watch a lot of shows in these genres, I'm beginning to fall in love with them. 

I like that Uramichi goes from happy face to depressed face in the drop of the hat. My first impressions of the show is that I do want to buy more. There is a lot of reading with the subtitles and sometimes they go by too fast, so I definitely want to get the manga at some point. 

I think it's funny that the director is just always nodding in their chair while the guy with the cue cards is like, "No. Please stop."  I'm liking the brief introductions with have to the rest of the cast and am excited to get to know them more in future episodes. 

Also, I love how the opening song is hype and happy, but the ending song is super chill. I love the ending song for this anime. It's a great ending song.

Maria's Cake

Maria's Cake

By Krissie

 “This is going to haunt me,” Shadow thought as he stared at the burnt yet still somehow soupy mess Maria had placed before him. His ears were still ringing from the fire alarms that the scientists struggled to turn off for 20 minutes. He offered to help, but he wasn’t allowed access to any of the security systems. He was, however, allowed, to be presented with what looked like a monster from one of Maria’s video games.

Maria beamed nervously. “It’s a cake.” Her confidence was faulting and Shadow felt a tug at his heart strings. 

“It looks great!” He gave her a thumbs up. Maria beamed brightly with job. Shadow had no clue what a cake was. But if Maria was pleased, he would be too. “So what do you do with it?” Shadow asked as Maria was pulling plates down from the small cabinet.

Maria froze as she stared at Shadow in disbelief. Shadow might look like a teenager, but he was only 3 years old. 

“You eat it!” Maria told him with a sweet smile. “Cake is a treat you make for special occasions and holidays.”

Shadow nodded as Maria cut a slice of the cake. “What’s the occasion?” There was nothing listed on his calendar when he woke up this morning.

“It’s your birthday, silly!” Maria ruffled his quills. Shadow leaning back, fighting the urge to hiss. Maria knew he hated having his quills messed with. She giggled as she sat him down at the kitchen table and placed the slice in front of him. She sang loudly as she gripped him by the shoulders and swayed him with her. Shadow chuckled at this. He still wasn’t sure what was going on, but if Maria was happy, he didn’t mind.

“Normally you blow out candles, but since we don’t have those, just close your eyes and make a wish.”

Shadow’s only wish was for Maria to be happy and healthy. He didn’t need anything else. He turned to Maria with a smile. “Now what?”

“Now you eat it!” Maria took a spoonful and held it up to him. “Say Ah…” 

Shadow took the spoon from her gently. He stared at the bite of cake. It looked gross. Smelt awful. He didn’t want it anywhere inside his body. But Maria would be sad if he didn’t. A few bites wouldn’t hurt, right?

Welp.

It tasted worse than it looked and smelt combined. Shadow chewed and forced himself to swallow. 

“Is it good?” Maria’s blue eyes were bright and hopeful.

Shadow could only nod. He felt if he opened his mouth, he would ruin her hopes. So a fib wouldn’t hurt, right?

Maria clapped her hands together. “Oh thank goodness! I’ve never made a cake before, so I was so nervous.” She rambled on happily as she cut a slide. Shadow’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t let her eat it. He grabbed the plate from her hand as he put on his best big round eye look. “May I eat the whole thing? Please Maria?”

Maria looked confused but that was soon overtaken by a smile of joy and pride. 

Shadow sat quietly eating the cake as Maria yammered on and on. Shadow was just happy that she was happy. Nothing else really mattered.

A few hours later, Shadow had never regurgitated anything before. It burned his throat and he felt awful. His stomach roared in protest as his body tried to forcefully remove his insides.

“You have food poisoning,” Professor Gerald Robotnik stated with confusion. “What did you eat today, Shadow?” He rubbed the hedgehog’s back.

“Maria made me a cake,” Shadow whimpered.

Gerald hissed to himself. “I’ll call Doctor Rosaline. She’ll take care of you. Okay?”

Shadow could only give a weak nod and a whimper. He was sick for two days as Professor Gerald informed everyone no to let Maria in the kitchen areas unsupervised every again.

A story from work

This is dated July 3rd.
Hello, and let me tell you all about the humans I've dealt with today (July 3rd). We had an all inclusive part at 7:30pm and then I heard that they were going to cancel it. For what, I don't know, but they wound up having it. I cooked the 4 wings platters and 8 fries. My coworker made the 4 pizzas for me. It was a big rush, I helped carry the food to their room. I mainly focused on cooking the meals. I had 2 ticket that said "All Inclusive Party" with whatever it is they ordered. This case 2 wings and 1 fry. I had a lady tell me to make the wings "well done." I was confused because she didn't have a sticker. She said her sister ordered them for her. I reminded the party host, who was taking orders that they could only order one thing at a time. This is so they can't order food for those not in the party. She told me she was just letting them get what they wanted so they would be on their way.
Apparently the lady who had ordered wanted to have an attitude because she kept saying, "Is there a problem? Because there shouldn't be a problem. He said we can get whatever we want."
The thing that bothered me was that I said there wasn't a problem several times, but she kept repeating, "Is there a problem?" After I said no several times. Keep in mind, I'm the only one cooking all the food and I'm trying to cook everything. Luckily, I spent most of the time cooking and not interacting with customers. But later at 9:24, the same lady came up and told me, "Your manager said we could get ice cream to go." She had an attitude the whole time with me. I was polite and even allowed her to get it even though it was passed time for their food orders to be free. Her food stopped at 9:15. I did ask the manager on duty what time their food stopped as I went to the back to grab ice cream cups. Just to double confirm that their food was over.
I got their ice cream and I put it in cups because every single time someone asks for ice cream to go, they mean a cup. This set the women off. The whole time I was standing there, trying not to say, "Fraulein, calm down. Do you need midol?" Because her attitude and temperament makes me feel like she was on her period.
I just remade the ice cream to placesate her and get her far away from me.
Have any of you ever dealt with people like this?

UGH! I actually remember this vaguely still. Lady was awful. Like I'm doing my job, don't go yelling at me for it. Just take a deep breath. I can tell by the way I wrote this that I was going to turn this into a video at some point.

Random short from my notebook

My notebook is almost full and since most of the weird stories bits haven't been typed up yet, I'll begin typing it up as I stay home due to the Coronavirus.

April 14th, I don't know the year.
The list was just scribbles of sloppy slanted writing. Ideas and motivation was clammed up in their brain. how long had they been sitting at the desk. Their eyes sinking in to their skull as bags sagged. They finally put down their pen and examined the large ink plot on the page.
Short horrors
The pain was becoming unbearable. She wanted to curl up and scream. But years of conditioning and harsh words from those around her told her she couldn't. She just had to grin and bear it.
Well, she was tired of that. The medicine designed to ease the cramps wasn't helping unless she got dangerously close to overdosing.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore. She collected the best knives in the house. She couldn't afford a doctor and knew that they might not even be able to fix the problem. She just knew she wanted the pain to end.
A cocktail of pain

And that's all that's written on this page. I think that was on one of days I wanted to remove my whole uterus when my cramps were really bad and I was turning it into a story, but stopped half way through.
