I really hope she gets a place

My sister is finally able to look for a new place to live!!! I'm so excited for her. But also sad because she keeps getting denied due to her and her husband's credit scores being low. Like they HAVE the money for the deposit, the 1st and last month's rent. But because of their credit, they keep being denied. She told me yesterday, she began looking for places that would specifically accept their credit scores. So here's hoping they find something!

I'm hoping, I'm praying. I'll probably light a prayer candle tonight for her. They currently live in a relative's basement and our Racist sister also lives there. RS won't let them upstairs to use the kitchen at all. RS gives them shit for going up stairs to use the bathroom! Then RS complains they aren't bathing, but bitch won't let them up there and gives them shit for it! My poor sister has to drive her children to the gas station to relieve themselves. 

I wish I had the watch time on here to be monetized so I could hire one of them to edit my videos and give them a little extra. My sister and I don't like asking for help and like working for what we're given. Hell, if I was monetized, I could just grab my nephew and go, "Hey, I've got extra money. Wanna come get paid money for mowing my lawn or washing some dishes?" I sadly can't afford it nearly as often as I would like on my measly 15.98 an hour. I've got my own bills and financial obligations.

Hubby did clear out our cabinet because we have too many coffee mugs for 2 people. So I set them aside to give to my sister once she is hopefully able to get a place.

I'm going to take my tax refund and work on getting my art as acrylic charms that I'll turn into earrings and start looking into setting up a KoFi shop. Once I have a good amount of inventory. I'm thinking about 30 pieces for a 1st time. I'll also need to pay and set up a PO Box before I set up the shop for safety purposes. I'll type updates as I go. Current inventory is 3 stabby uterus earrings.

Star Detective PreCure Ep5 REVIEW

 Star Detective PreCure Review Ep5 Review

This episode starts with Jett working in his lab as Mystique starts her new school semester. Nijee is told by Maestro Usonoir that he will not accept another failure. Answer and Pochi notice that it looks like it's about to rain and go to take Mystique an umbrella. Before they leave, Jett gives Answer a new gadget that is supposed to protect the cures when they're in danger. 

At the school, Answer is at the school gate when she sees Mystique laughing with 2 of her school mates. She feels jealous and sad about this. Answer goes to walk away and comes across a college student looking for her middle school age sister. Her sister is on exchange in London. But over the past few days, people have been telling her that they have seen her sister around town. She called the school office and was told her sister wasn't there. She called her sister in London that morning, but got no answer. 

Meanwhile, Mystique is given a case by the school headmaster to find the "Ghost" that a security guard saw by a statue of two birds during his night patrols. She tries to contact Answer with the memo tool. Answer, however, doesn't answer the device. I like that Mystique attempted to call her. Whereas Answer thought about it, but decided otherwise. I get that Answer really only has Mystique and Jett being in this time. She doesn't want to bother her friend who is currently at school with such things. We learn that Mystique is afraid of ghosts.

When the two meet up at school, they bicker about taking a case without the other. Pochi doesn't like they're bickering. Mystique runs off to ask a girl if she's noticed anything weird. The girl, who is the girl that Answer is looking for, was starting at the statue as the Cures argued. A swallow flies really low and close to Mystique and the girl as they speak. When Mystique leaves, the girl turns away and her eyes are Nijee's eyes.

Pochi then drags Answer towards the statue where a Makoto Jewel is in danger. They run into Mystique along the way and she comes with. The girl jumps down onto the statue. Answer is finally able to fill Mystique in on her case. The Cures bicker amongst themselves before Nijee interrupts them. Nijee explains he chose to disguise as someone on exchange because he wouldn't draw attention at the school. He couldn't figure out how to move the statue for several days though. So he went to the town to look into possible options of moving it. Mystique telling him that swallows fly low when it rains gave him an idea. He turned the statue into two swallows. 

After being tossed around by the Monsters of day, Jett's new gadget lands in front of Answer. Answer tries to use it, but it doesn't work. Pochi jumps in front of the cures to make a beam of protective light to keep the monsters from attacking the girls. Nijee decides to leave with the two monsters saying he got 2 Makoto Jewels. Usonoir angrily grips his stage vernaculars as he mutters about a time and space fairy. The two cures are left cradling a now past out Pochi in despair. 

I like that we get to see how the two cures deal with friction between them. These fights are needed for personal growth and you can't always have a victory every episode. We're laying some ground work. I also really like Nijee. So I give this episode a B rank.

Star Detective PreCure Ep4 Review

 Star Detective Precure Ep4 Review! episode title: Exciting! Our first client! 

The episode starts with Pink pacing as she is worried they have no clients even though the agency is open. A young man with a purple bag comes in asking for help and the cures and Pochi begin to panic as they don't know what to do until Jett tells them get a hold of themselves. 

After everyone is sat down for tea, the Client explains that all of his items in his bag have turned into produce! Queue the theme song! 

The cures each give him a business card for each of them. The client is a university student who is trying to become a Mangaka. He explains he realized his bag felt heavier and he noticed the potatoes. The strap on his bag is also shorter than what he had it previously. Purple suggest that the bags got switched. He then remembers he bumped into someone by the station and dropped his bag. 

Cut to the theatre of our Phantom Thieves Guild. Black cure is once again eating ice cream. There is a debate on who should go. Goemon, who seems to be inspired or based on Japanese theatre says he will go and show the Black Cure, the new comer, how things are done. 

The Cures and Client go to the station where the client explains that they collided with each other. But he doesn't remember what they looked like or who they were. A man painting a bench nearby overhears them and explains that a lady was looking for a man who took her bag. She is a young lady with glasses. Pink does a sketch of her, but it's not that great. 

The Cure group heads off in the direction of the lady went. Goemon says the Makoto stone is in an item wrapped in purple cloth. Black cure notices the client with the purple bag. The Cure group passes by a place giving out flyers for painting lessons. Purple takes one and says it would be useful to be able to sketch faces. Goemon takes notice of the bag in the client's arms. 

Goemon lands in from the Cure group and tells them to leave the Makoto Jewel to him. He uses his fan to make a burst of wind full of Cherry Blossoms, I guess that is his flower of choice. He runs away with the bag strap hooked on his fan. The cures use a Pre-Kit Light tool to create a bubble trampoline to give chase. Black Cure and her fairy realize after Goemon meets up with them that the bag doesn't have the jewel. Black Cure walks off after looking at the apron in the bag. Goemon grumbles about newcomers. He realizes the Makoto jewel is in the other bag and challenges the Cures to finding it first before disappearing in Cherry blossoms. 

The Client hearing this, says to just not look anymore. He makes manga to make people smile, not bput them into danger. The Cures explain they feel the same way. So it's decided he'll wait at the agency for them. The cures go to different restaurants in the area because there is food in the bag. The man at the curry place says he has no employee with the description of the lady. They notice ketchup on the apron and list foods that might be cooked where the mystery lady works. The Chef tells the Cures that the potatoes and Onions are sprouting and the apples aren't fresh. No restraurant would cook with them.

Goemon is looking from a roof top for a bag with a manuscript. He tells Arcana Shadow to help him look. She says she doesn't have to while eating a different ice cream from before. The fox fairy says she doesn't have to look, because Arcana Shadow already knows where it is. 

The cures go back to the station to try to get more ideas. The realize the area is paved, so how is there dirty on the bottom corner of the bag. Pochi touches the bench and gets blue paint on her little paw. With this the cures have their feather moment and realize the mystery lady is at the painting place. As they return the bag, Goemon shows up and steals the manuscript. The Cures give chase. When pressed how he knew where the manuscript was, he says Bread. That the new comer figured it. The fox fairy praises Arcana Shadow for knowing that bread could be used as an eraser and figuring out by just looking at the bag. Arcana Shadow says it was no biggie as she goes back to her ice cream. 

Goemon turns the manuscript into our monster of the week with a wave of his fan and cherry blossoms galore. We have a comic book manuscript monster this episode. I like that during the fight, we have the bubbles with words like POW, Thump, and such inside. It adds a nice touch. Goemon praises Maestro Usonoir for bestowing such amazing powers to make the monster. This is the first time the Cures have heard that name. Goemon brags that so long as his boss is happy, that is all that matters. We see Mystique Reflection. that's a new move that I don't recall seeing yet. The cures defeat the monster and Goemon leaves in his cherry blossom.

Back at the Agency, they return the bag to the client. Answer recognizes his pen name. Mystique is confused, but Answer says she loves his manga. She tells him, he's going to become a famous manga artist. The manga he makes is called "Solved by the Cyborg detectives." He asks if that's her deduction. Answer is stumped on how to explain, but Jett and Mystique both want to read it. So the episode ends on them all doing Rock Paper Scissors to decide who will read it first. Cut to the ending theme.

I like this episode because we see more of Arcana Shadow, though I don't know what's up with her yet. We know she loves ice cream. I like the Cures learn the name of the big boss. I feel like Goemon was a good character to give that information. I am a bit concerned that he seems a bit dim witted at times. But this is his first appearance. There is something in his personality and vibes that I just like an find a tad endearing at the moment. All in all, I rank this episode an A rank. 

Star Detective PreCure Ep3 Review

Ep Title: Everyone come to the Cure Detective Agency!
 Episode 3 starts with Jett and Purple cure cleaning the agency as Pink shows up with her belongings from her dorm. The two girls explore the agency on their way to Pink's room. Purple likes to organize the books by color and Jett calls it impractical. Pink is reading the books instead of sorting them and putting them on the shelf. We have a scene of the Cures exploring the 2nd floor where they find a map of the town with different markings on it. Purple feels down about being away from home. Pink decides they should all go shopping for decor for the agency. We learn that the Phantom Thieves guild is comprised of nasty Fairies! I like that we know off the bat they are fairies. 
we cut to a scene of a theatre. Our big bad, Maestro Usonoir, is addressing the members, all sitting in different parts of the theatre. I see that Noir, a word for black, is a part of his name. Nice touch. I took notice of our Black cure with her fox fairy in the theatre. I've got questions about why she's there. But it just dawned on me that her fairy that might have recruited her into being a Cure, might have talked her into joining the Thieves guild. We are introduced to Ageseine, a villain with red hair and purple and pink outfit. She gets to go on the mission today. 
The Cures enter a furniture store. They see a beautiful glass turtle and Purple asks Jett if they can get it to decorate the agency with. The store owner says it's not for sell. It's a symbol of their shop. "Like a Turtle, we may go slow, but we go forward a step at a time. And one day we'll build a bigger, more wonderful store." As the Cures are looking for furniture, the glass turtle goes missing. 
Our suspects are the Owner, the sales clerk, a lady and the store cat, and a foreigner tourist. The tourist only speaks English. Cures realize since the culprit couldn't have left yet, they probably hid the glass turtle in the store some where. They find the glass turtle in a bin of stuff animals and pillows. The sales clerk counts and states he's "Glass all 6 are there and nothing is broken." 
Purple goes, "Case close?" But Pink reminds her they haven't found the culprit yet. They are stumped by the fact the tourist doesn't speak Japanese, but Jett states he made a gummy that translates any language for them. The gummies are shaped like heart keys. The translation only works for 3 minutes. 
The tourist was with the sales clerk pinking out a scarf. The clerk says that since his mom loves gardening plants, he picked a scarf design with a similar pattern to the shop's sculpture. The lady customer was petting the store cat. When the girls are shocked they can understand the cat, Jett goes, "Aren't I a genius?" Jett I think I'm growing fond of you my good sir. 
/The tourist asks if he can leave as his mom is waiting for him. The owner notices that the clerk didn't put a sticker on the wrapped up scarf. She hands him a card with 6 flower options to chose from. The tourist says it's a tough decision, but he says he should pick one that matches the color and design of the scarf he chose. 
The cures have their light bulb/feather falling and bursting into lots of feathers moment. The thief is the clerk. He called the turtle sculpture a flower. He counted the limbs like flower petals. Most people don't count the head and tails with the limbs. 
The thief, Ageseine uses a make up brush to change back to her villain appearance. This does take a second and I laugh during it each time I see it. She snatches the turtle sculpture and runs. When she jumps down from the roofs she ran on, she is greeted by fox fairy and black cure. Black cure is almost always eating ice cream in EVERY scene I've seen her in so far in this show. Fox fairy delivers a message from Maestro Usonoir. "Defeat them and steal it with grace." With the message delivered, they walk away. 
I like that Ageseine uses a yellow flower to make the monsters. Nagi uses roses. Our monster of the day is a yellow flower. Kind of odd because she made it from a glass turtle. I do like that Ageseine seals off the area from everyone but the Guild and the Cures teams. No injured civilians! Yay! 
The black cure and her fairy watch from on top of a building. 
Once the Cures defeat the monster, Ageseine leaves with a big yellow flower. Back at the store, the real sales clerk shows up and apologizes for not being to find the thing the owner wanted. The cures explain that Ageseine dressed up as the owner to get him out of the way. 
With the Cure Agency now freshly decorated, Jett mourns his now empty wallet. Pink says she's adding helping Purple get back to her own time to her case load and the two strengthen their friendship. We see Jett has a a blue print drawn out of some type of heart shaped wand. Then we get our closing theme song. 
I rank this episode a B. I like that we had a call back to episode 1 and it seems the cures learned new tricks the Guild might use in the future. I like that we get to see the bad guys, but I still have questions. I do like they are all fairies and I look forward to one day seeing their fairy forms.
