Here to talk about books and reading and animation and probably karate bugmen
November things! I mostly got 80% into lots of things this month. Maybe I'll finish them all in December. Getting ready for a year-end wrap-up!

📖The Thirty-Nine Steps

Rainy day chicken pesto sandwich. Local cafes around me know too sandwich some good sandwich, I must say.

October things! So, I barely did anything this month. It was a busy one. But I did read some comics:

📖X-Factor omnibus vol. 1
📖She-Hulk by Mariko Tamaki the complete collection

Mostly solid reads! Everyone should read more comics.

Swooped in and made some ShortBox comics pickups before the timer ran out. So much great-looking stuff to choose from.

September things! This one was mostly an excuse to talk about Kamen Rider.

📺Kamen Rider Gavv
📖Fantastic Four by John Byrne vol 1
📖Silver Nitrate

Loving just reading and finishing off todo lists. And it's always a big deal when a Kamen Rider series ends!

5.4km run in 38 minutes. Which isn't bad considering how long it's been 😬

Rewarded myself with a delicious breakfast sandwich and coffee on the deck.

Sometimes all you need is a basic breakfast sandwich to help start the day, especially one that's chicken satay.

August newsletter! This one is a bit of a random set of things.

📖Rasl
📖The Secret People
🎥Ne Zha 2

I'm liking Google Docs, but I might have to make these prettier somehow. Meh.

Two days, two sandwiches! This one was a Cubano. I say "was" because it doesn't exist anymore. It's in my belly because it was delicious.

Gonna start a sandwich diary with all this.

Willing it into the universe that I shouldn't have to work or have any function in society, but instead I should eat and take photos of sandwiches -- specifically Reuben sandwiches. Thank you.

A July newsletter, mostly because I can't stop thinking about Superman and I wanted to write about it. But some other stuff too!

🎥Superman 😍
🎥Kpop demon hunters
📖I who have never known men

Done In Google Docs this month, because why not.

Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsdna

There's something about Mario Kart podium celebrations that can cure society's ails, I think. So much joy.

Had some Dungeons and Dragons fun yesterday for the first time in years. I was Kermo, the frog-dressed halfling, a bard who wanted to make friends and be on stage. I got to push a slime into the ocean, so that's fun.

Always keen to read more New Gods. I've had the Mr Miracle series on my shelf for a while...and oof, it hits hard. A study of depression and living up to people's expectations. And fatherhood.

Read this if you want a good story, but with a "it takes a bit for cathartic goodness to kick in" caveat.
June 26, 2025 at 10:12 PM
Not a lot went on in May, but here's three things I watched/read/did:

📖The last murder at the end of the world
📺Dragon Ball Daima
🎥The Sea Beast

Gotta get those numbers up for June!
June 2, 2025 at 6:09 AM
A fun op-shop find: 9 copies of Mr Nonsense!

I have questions.

📚Book 8 of 2025!

It's The last murder at the end of the world by Stuart Turton.

What a book! Genre-defying, mystery-filled, sci-fi just how I like it. I felt for every character and loved the ending. A big contender for book of the year for me so far.

March monthly newsletter! It's late because of...reasons!

📚 Fantastic Four
📺 Keep your hands off Eizouken
🍿Flow
🕹️Pokemon Blue

Gotta get a better system for this, and also use Bluesky more 🙇

At a jaunty angle, I'm here to say I read, finished, and enjoyed Fantastic Four: Full Circle.

A fun homage to classis FF. As always, amazing art by Ross. Fun to see my boy Annihilus.

Makes me want to read more FF (it's not hard to make me want to read more FF).

We finally got to see Flow! It's about a cat going on misadventures through a big flood.

As a (black) cat owner, some bits were hard, but it's mostly a nice time. Very good experiment in environmental storytelling. There's also a space whale?

Anyway, would recommend 🐈‍⬛🌊

📚 Book 6 for 2025 📚

It's Tales from the Cafe! I read most of it on a plane! Yes, I'm skipping books, mostly because I forget.

Tales is good, I love magic time-travel cafes, but I'm not sure if this series is for me at the moment. Might move on before reading more in the series.
