OH GOD. I forgot about Pantheon. It’s on Netflix in the US, don’t look anything up and go in. Made me feel the same way as the Leftover. Hardcore emotional animated sci-fi.

As my body has changed and my metabolism slowed, a style change/closet purge was needed.

I’ve been picking up more practical basics but leaning into my favorite brands.

Picked up, flannels, a jacket, and accessories from Faherty Brand as they have a line for who are taller than avg. Plus this:

I’m always been a cheap watch guy. Cool and Practical is what I like, especially ones with chunky old square faces.
The Citizen ANA-DIGI is a JDM reissue of a watch from the 80’s which features a hybrid digital and analog face. Also picked up two Casios for under $30.

The Vietnam War documentary by Ken Burns.

I think I’ve been aware of Ken Burn since my childhood around when Baseball came out since we didn’t have cable. Incredible footage and detail about the folly and America hubris in that era. Haunting soundtrack by Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor.

Then you have current 2025 4Runner refresh which just nailed the look.

The trim levels can get insanely pricey but they generally all look great.

Fast Wagons are were it gets pricy but they generally don’t depreciate as fast because they are enthusiast cars in the states.

They have some awesome rally racing history and some generally cool stories line the RS2 Avsnt being a weird half Audi/Porche.

The C8 RS6 Avant being a dream car.

It’s kinda the perfect combo of depth and pricing.

4Runners are plentiful, reliable, economical SUVs that haven’t been really changed in the past 14 years but have plenty of in gen revisions to pick from.

As long as you don’t mind some dated interiors and high mileage you can find a great deal
