Hi! This is my first post on flashes! Hopefully in the future there will be larger slideshows, but I’ll take it. Here’s a book I got at a flea market yesterday- a rare Go Nagai art book which focuses on his horror manga creations. Go Nagai is famous for creating Devilman and Cutie Honey.
A red and white book cover with a black sketchy drawing of the character Devilman with one of his arms dismembered and his guts coming out- EW! There’s a purple obi strip, with Japanese writing on it. This is gonna be wild, huh? A beautiful 2 page spread pastel drawing of a blue demon face breathing out a pink cloud that has the faces of three beautiful heroic characters forming in the cloud. I don’t know what’s going on but the heroic characters (two men with devil horns and a pretty lady) have their mouths open like they are yelling heroically at the demon. A group of five heroic characters leaping into action as a group, four dudes dressed in contemporary clothes and one very buff muscular woman dressed in armor. She’s bigger than any of the men. I’m officially in love with this buff woman. One handsome dude has cute little demon horns. There’s one fat guy who looks very funny but I know he must be very helpful. There are two dark haired men carrying guns who look very bad ass. I don’t know what’s their story is but they are off to fight some demons. Two characters, Devilman and Lucifer (I think?) are on a black rock under a yellow/orange sky filled with angels. Lucifer is nude, blond and pale and has wings growing from their head. Lucifer is both male and female, and is sitting demurely, looking over Devilman who is unconscious and seems to be evaporating into the black rock.

Some funny faces at the antique shop
The base of this lamp is a vertical gray colored dolphin who bears the wide eyed, open mouth expression of shock and surprise. This is perhaps the ugliest dolphin I’ve ever seen. This dolphin has SEEN SOME SHIT. A small wooden can opener. It is in the form of a standing creature, its head and body are two carved spheres, and its legs are two little dowels with spheres for feet. It has a spherical wood nose. Its arms are one continuous heavy rope that goes across its chest and on the chest is a rather aggressive and sharp metal can opener. On its head it wears a jaunty kerchief over a tiny tuft of feather-hair. It has two eyes that glance to the right, as if it is a little bit nervous. It is actually a little bit charming and cute if strange. A white vase has a funny, lumpy smiling face, who seems to have leaves as hair and beard, but it is painted with a blue outline. The mouth is puckered and seems to be either giving a buck tooth smile or is open and just weirdly shaped. Maybe it is an anthropomorphic or mythical representation of the wind blowing. A ceramic dog head painted blue and brown with pointy ears and eyes looking up. This good boy or girl is holding a painted on newspaper in its mouth. It has a stylized cartoony look.

This is a pretty straightforward retelling of this part of the Odyssey, and they do some interesting stylistic choices: lit by natural light and fire, diverse casting, everyone is handsome, and disconcertingly chic use of linen scarves. Apparently men don’t know about shirts in this part of Greece.
Two very physically fit young men in their twenties are searching handsomely and menacingly for someone in the bushes. The man in front (I call him Chaddicus) is blond neatly trimmed hair and pale white and the man behind him ( I call him Brantophiles) has olive complexion and a dark short hair and beard. They are both wearing beautiful linen scarves, Chaddicus wears a yellow ochre trimmed with olive, and Brantophiles sports lavender gray with burgundy stripes. The scarves are styled jauntily around their necks as if they are heading to a cafe in Milan after walking a runway show.

We watched “The Return” last night, which is about Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) returning to Ithaca and his long-waiting wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) holding off a bunch of thuggish suitors who want to marry her & take over Ithaca. We were also a little bit high from a pot brownie (recommended!).
A poster image of “The Return” (2024). A close up photo of Ralph Fiennes face, looking old, rough and beardy and holding a bow made of antelope horn. Juliette Binoche’s face is just behind Fiennes… and she is looking like a tired but tough beautiful middle aged lady.

Two really terrible A.I. ads that I found in a news article. Like… why? Cats don’t do that? Why does that one look like it’s trying to seduce me???
An ad that says “Your Home Smells like Cat Pee? Try this” with a simple line drawing of a cat standing up on its two hind legs like a person and it is peeing out of its butthole in a steady stream. Nobody asked for this. On a turquoise blue background a slightly more detailed cartoony line drawing of a white cat is lying on its back with its front and back legs spread open in kind of a seductive pose that makes the viewer feel very awkward and uncomfortable. It is peeing a high arch of urine from an unknown source on its pelvis. Cats definitely do not pee like this. I am not sure any mammal besides a baby human boy in the midst of a diaper change can pee like this. Like, W T F??? At the bottom of the ad is small text “Your home smells like cat pee? 2-minute tip for a cat-odor free House.”

Good morning, Bluesky! This morning the sky is full of SNOW! It’s a snow day! Woo hoo! ❄️🐻‍❄️❄️
A small yard, some shrubs, a small tree in the yard, a house with a covered porch, the road and a small forest across the road covered in fresh snow, about 5 inches deep. The sky is white. The forest across the street from our house, and the road covered in fluffy white snow.

It’s a white mug with dark brown spelled glaze on the rim, what appears to be a hand drawn plant form in white leaves and stem with black circles for berries. It is drawn upon an unglazed portion of the mug which shows the brown clay of the mug. There is a beautiful dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with red and white candy cane bits. The mug is being held in front of a scenic and jolly Christmas tree, decorated with lights and ornaments.

Sunrise, Sunset
The sunrise this morning, the sky was covered in gray purple clouds but the rising sun shone bright orange red on the clouds. Rosy fingered dawn. There are bare leafless trees and a frosty roof of a house still in the shade, in the foreground. Right before the sun set this afternoon we had a strange snowstorm that dropped little spherical snow pellets. When it stopped, the snow melted on the pavement and stones. This photo shows the wet street reflecting the golden yellow sunset shining on the light gray clouds. The bare trees are tickling the cold sky with their branches.

Good morning, Bluesky! The sky this morning is being very dramatic…
There are dark purple gray clouds covering almost the whole sky, but the sun is peeking through, shooting bright red orange light at the bottom edges of the clouds.

I took out my warm winter coat and there was a shopping list from last winter in a pocket.
A long, cream white paper with ornate dark blue and gold ornamentation on the edges holds a short list of items I meant to get at the grocery. The list: Jalapeño. T.P. (As in Toilet Paper). Small milk. Nanners? (My alternative name for Bananas). One Normal Tomato. At the bottom of the list is a drawing of a cute rabbit, by Me.

Haribo is WILD for this. The spice cookie shapes are not just spice cookie flavored… they are different spice flavored: clove, cinnamon, ginger etc.
A bag of Haribo gummies that are Christmas Bakery flavored. The writing on the bag is in German and says “Weihnachts Backerei” on it. On the bag is the Haribo bear mascot stirring a bowl of cookie batter. I have laid out an assortment of different gummy candies in front of the bag: a light brown gingerbread person, a tan speculoos (?) windmill, some abstract wavy shapes in white, and a star and a moon in orange and red. A close up of the gummies. I added a green tree to the collection. I wanted to show the detail on the gummies which are pretty intricate for something so tiny! The cookie shaped ones are like a foamy opaque gummy candy, like it is semi-marshmallow. A closeup of the speculoos windmill gummy. I have to say, these gummies are weird but pretty tasty, the flavor is subtle and each shape has a slightly different spice flavor variation.

Here’s a cool historical marker at our Old Dutch Church in my town.
A black historical marker sign bordered with red. At the top of the sign is a circle divided into four colored quarters: black, white, red and yellow, which have special significance to Indigenous people of our region. In yellow text the sign reads: ANUSHIK KIISHEELUMUKWEENGW EELU MILUYEENGW KUKUNA AHKUY / THANK YOU CREATOR FOR GIVING US OUR MOTHER EARTH -LUNAAPE PRAYER”

We were surprised that it snowed last week in the Hudson Valley. Here’s the mountain that overlooks Woodstock NY. I think it’s called Overlook Mountain. 🏔️ I think?
A view of a mountain covered in snow, behind some nearby trees that have shed their leaves. I took this photo as a passenger in a car so there’s a road and electrical poles along the road.

Sorry for the bad photo, I took it in a moving vehicle. But I think the concept is pretty good.
A black pickup truck is parked in a strip mall parking lot. It has strings of Christmas lights taped all over it. It is daytime so they are not lit up, but I would suspect it looks very jolly at night!

Spotted some relics in the lobby of a hotel in Times Square…
Two 90s era pay phones in stylish granite lined booths next to a women’s restroom Closeup of a pay phone, probably from the 90s. Looks shiny and new.

We’re in NYC just for an overnight visit, and of course we have to go to the Nintendo Store. Well, we saw something VERY IMPORTANT that I need to show you all 🥹… observe: Mario Brothers from 1983!
It is a small device about 4 inches square, folded in half, beveled on the edges. There is a large silvery label that says “Game and Watch” at the top left and “Multiscreen” at the bottom right. In the middle is a rounded rectangle that says “Mario Bros.” Two plump brothers with handsome mustaches, jaunty caps, and well fitted overalls carry the rectangle on their shoulders. They are very jolly! They look a little bit different than the Super Mario brothers of today and are very charming and I love them very much.

In times like these, we need to look for and appreciate beauty and justice. There is hope for us yet.
A thumbnail of a New York Times article. “BREAKING NEWS: The Onion, the satirical publication, said it won a bankruptcy auction to buy InfoWars, a website run by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.” Below this text is a photo of Alex Jones addressing real journalists outside a building. Ya Love to see it!

It’s TCHOTCHKE TIME, friends! My main hobby is haunting my local antique shop and wishing I had room for all the great stuff I find there. Here are a few cool things:
On a shelf full of antique books and a wooden metronome, is a bronze figurine of a man. The man is dressed in medieval peasant garb and is holding his stomach as if he is nauseous or perhaps hungry. He has a pained expression on his face. I don’t know why anyone would want a figurine that looks like it’s about to take a 💩 on your mantelpiece, but I guess it is pretty relatable given the news these days. A ceramic figurine of a group of cute doggies. They look like shi tzu or Pekingese mommy dog and two puppies on a rectangular base. It is all white with some airy splashes of brown on the faces and tails and little black eyes. A very charming little family. A ceramic figurine of a Parisian Pissoire. Yes, that’s a public street urinal! This sculpture is interesting because it is hand-built and not made from a mold, and is therefore unique and one of a kind. It is colorful and also a bit messy looking, but that’s what makes it charming. It almost looks like an illustration from the “Madeleine” books. There’s a sticker that says it was made in Paris. Two figures of men are shown in and entering the Pissoire, which is made of two green concentric cylinders. There are two trees flanking the Pissoire. The base is made to look like a gray cobblestone sidewalk, but it has splotches of pink, blue, and yellow. I’ve never seen such a cute representation of a urinal. Here are two examples of antique package design. On the left is a small yellow paper box with a white label printed in blue ink, that shows a pretty Japanese lady, bust view, fixing her hair, in a heart shaped vignette. The label reads “Suzuran” Bobbed Hair Clips/ Hand Hammered/ “Best by Every Test” / Made in Japan. It is very sweet. To the right is a white cylindrical can also with blue printing. There is an image of a white nude lady in a blue circular cloud shaped vignette, the nude is twirling a white ribbon around herself. The text on the can reads: White Witch “Better Than Soap” powdered cleanser. “Every Shake a Fresh Cake” Cleanses-Softens-Whitens. I’m not sure if this is a cleanser for body or laundry but wow the label is delightful.

October was all about the horny vampire movie with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder. I think for November we have to switch gears and watch the horny puritan movie starring Gary Oldman and Demi Moore…
It’s the sexy poster for the 1995 film adaptation of “The Scarlet Letter”. It shows Demi Moore in a pilgrim negligee swooning sexily with long haired Gary Oldman behind her giving her a sexy smooch on the back of the head.

Today’s Highly Relatable Ceramics: Cow Edition
3 vintage ceramic cow knickknacks, 2 creamers and one figurine, possibly from the 1930s to 1940s, all of whom are displaying wide-eyed disbelief at the world. They are simply agog at the state of society.

I ate some of these last night, and one of them scratched my throat as it went down, and it still hurts so I’m convinced that it’s a deadly throat cancer 😖
It’s a bag of Limited Edition Goldfish Crackers, in the theme of the hit holiday movie “Elf”. They are “Maple Syrup Grahams.” The bag is a jolly green color with the Elf movie logo in a graphic of a snow globe. The “L” in Elf is in the form of a man dressed as an elf (Will Ferrell, but we don’t see his face because he is all green). Surrounding the snow globe are photographs of the special cracker shapes: a maple syrup bottle, a pointy elf hat, and a classic smiling goldfish cracker. Here’s my review of how they taste: too sweet but also too salty. Why they do maple so dirty??? They will also scratch your throat up and make you think you’re dying.

So yeah, I have been reading the manga very slowly because there are only 15 issues! The artist/writer is Tsubasa Yamaguchi, and her style is very breezy and charming, and is really good at making the characters look different yet cohesive in style. Plus they’re art school weirdos. So cute. 🥰

Bluesky Friends: Please look at what I just found at a local grocery store. Yes, they are Shaquille O’Neill gummy candies. I’m not really knowledgeable about sports, so I don’t understand the symbology going on with the sour gummies. Except the shamrock: DUH famous Irish basket-baller Shaqqy O’Neill
Two bags of luridly colored SHAQ-A-LICIOUS XL GUMMIES sit side by side on a grocery store shelf. The bag on the left is purple and contains gummy candies in the form of Shaquille O’Neill’s face in 3 horrible colors/flavors: Pink/Peach, Blue/Berry Punch, Orange/Orange. The acid green bag on the right is sour variety but the gummies are in the form of three cryptic shapes that have something to do with the very tall sports celebrity. A green watermelon flavored shamrock (I can only assume that’s a reference to his Irish last name), a purple cactus, and a yellow Mack truck. Who asked for ANY of this?
