Firmly in the pocket of Big Spoon.
I feel like the final, theatrical version of Elio was a lovely film, and could still be read as queer or neurodivergent coded, but I would have loved to see the alleged original version where it was more textual.

For what it's worth, I haven't forgotten that I mostly follow political accounts and scream into the void here. Yes, the OBBB Act is gonna kill a lot of people, and, yes, Trump v. CASA makes injunctions functionally impossible, but I need the escapism.

Dan Da Dan Season 2 premieres today! Super hyped (despite the show having more fan service than I would prefer). New intro isn't bad, but it's gonna be hard to ever top the straight 🔥 that was the Season 1 opener, Otonoke by Creepy Nuts.

Happy New Fiscal Year to those who celebrate. May your projections be accurate and your audits be without findings.

But, hey, if you ever have hundreds of hours to kill and are looking for a story about both the value and cost of personal liberation in a world ruled by oligarchs, disinformation, and impossible choices, One Piece can be immensely rewarding.

It's been a minute since One Piece made me weep, but the last few weeks explaining the backstory of the silent, implacable force of nature that is Bartholomew Kuma are definitely doing it.

I didn't take a ton of pics because I was too busy getting my Disney on, but the theming was absolutely impeccable, the park was spotless, the crowds dense but remarkably quiet, and the rides were fantastic.

Didn't get to do everything, but a day well spent regardless!

A bit behind with posting because the day at Disney Sea went long, but I'm afraid I have been forever ruined for theme parks.

Yesterday's walk: temples in and around Kamakura. Frankly beautiful structures with so many lovely details to find and gawk at.

Life sized Gundam! LIFE SIZED GUNDAM!

Actually, we just happened to leave the Diver City mall as the show was going.

Incidentally, if we hang out IRL and you want any particular small thing from Japan, lemme know!

I have many other pics, but, Michelin star ramen, y'all. Two for about $25! Ginza Kagari in Kamakura! 美味しいです!

Day 1 Begins at Shiomi Station, headed towards Tokyo Station, then on to Kamakura. It's a balmy 82, kinda humid, but tolerable.

Next stop Tokyo and all the Gunpla you can eat! 日本に行きますよ!!

Groomed, Manicured, and ready to go on vacation!

I'd ask if you have any idea how satisfying this is, but I know the like five people that follow me on here, so I know you know EXACTLY how satisfying this is.

Drink three liters of water, the doctor said. Your body needs to stay hydrated, she said.

Can I just save myself the time and effort by just dumping two gallons of water in the toilet? Basically the same net effect.

Dropped my sushi on the floor, so I guess my dog gets sashimi for dinner.

For my birthday, my doctor got me a prescription for cholesterol pills and a referral for a colonoscopy.

Happy Call Your Mother If You're on Decent Terms With Her And Don't Already Call Her All The Time And Maybe Order Some Flowers Unless She Sucks In Which Case Don't Stress About It Because You Have No Obligation To Be There For Someone Who Wasn't There For You Day.

Thunderbolts* was a lot of fun and made me grateful to be in therapy.

But I must say, this here is my favorite joke, made more so in that it has to have been filmed BEFORE it was topical.
