Things I Love Thursday!

It's Thursday, so it's time for a few Things I Love!!


I've been playing a lot of Disney Magical World on my 3DS as of late. It was released earlier this year to little acclaim, which is unfortunate because it's really a very fun and cute game. Set in Castleton, it looks somewhat similar to Disneyland. It's comparable to Animal Crossing, but unlike that game, you have badges with particular goals to accomplish, like catching fish of certain size, building certain amounts of furniture, making certain amounts of clothes, and having your picture taken with various Disney characters. Similar to AC, you can do things like go fishing, decorate your house (and cafe, in DMW), and plant things. There's also a lot of other worlds you can go to for quests and to earn more materials to make more things. There are 100 badges to earn in total. I'm at 96, and the last few are so so hard to earn! My favorite part of the game are all the costumes, and getting to talk to the various Disney characters. It's just a super cute game, and I'm really pretty sad that it didn't become more popular.


I'm a bit of a productivity nut (not that I'm good at it, I just like reading about it), so I'm always looking for ways to improve my to do list. Currently, I'm using the website/app Trello to keep track of not only my daily to-dos, but also my monthly and yearly goals. It's intended to be used as a collaboration tool for teams to keep track of their projects, but I like to use it for goals, as well as other things like blogging ideas, gift ideas, travel ideas, pretty much anything. I have separate boards for all these things, so I can keep track of things but also not have them cluttering up everything else. One of the things I like best about it is that you can drag items from list to list, so that if I don't get something done on the Tuesday list, I can move it over to the Wednesday one. It's super convenient, and thus far is the best tool I've used for to-doing.


I'm also loving LootCrate! It's a monthly subscription box full of geeky stuff. I used to subscribe back when it first started a few years ago, but ended up canceling after a while. It's about 20 bucks a month, but you get all kinds of cool stuff. I resubbed to it because I heard they were doing some exclusive stuff with Funko, so I figured, why not! For this first box, I got quite a few cool things - like a replica pack of bank robbery money from an episode of Firefly, a Funko Sci-Fi Mystery Mini (which ended up being Mal from Firefly!), a retro arcade looking magnet, a poster of Han Solo encased in carbonite, a ReAction figure of Kane from Alien, and a Tribble!  I'm looking forward to seeing what's in my next box!
