Learning that Kumite didn't actually exist immediately after Bloodsport assured me that it did (and that Frank was The Best at it) was just too much of a disappointment for a Friday night
Frank William Dux (/du:ks/; born April 6, 1956) is a Canadian-American martial artist and fight choreographer. According to Dux, a ninjutsu expert named Senzo Tanaka trained him as a ninja when he was a teenager. He established his own school of ninjutsu called Dux Ryu Ninjutsu, and has said he won a secret martial arts tournament called the Kumite in 1975. His alleged victory at the Kumite served as the inspiration for the 1988 film Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dux's victory at the Kumite has been disputed, as has the existence of both the Kumite he described and Senzo Tanaka.

Happy Friday from Neville and his box 😸
A gray striped tabby cat with a white chest sitting in an open cardboard box and looking into the camera. He's probably thinking about how hungry he is despite having just finished his breakfast.

Paterson (2016) is magical because it not only got me to appreciate Adam Driver but also to read (and enjoy?!) William Carlos Williams
A copy of Paterson by William Carlos Williams held up in front of the Great Falls of the Passaic River.

Love when my video games make silly references just for me 🥰
Screencap from the Persona 5: The Phantom X mobile game. A dark-haired woman tells the protagonist, "Don't forget. I'm still... I'm still 'Tomi from the Block.' You can call me any time you need something!"

A couple of years ago I won a cross stitch kit at a Halloween party and I've been working on it off and on ever since. I brought it with me to the beach this week with the goal of finally finishing, and I did! 🧶
A cross stitch in a black frame. There are red skulls and black spiders, bats, and cats stitched onto white cloth. The words "DREAMIN' of SCREAMIN'" are stitched in black, maroon, and red.

Janet has done some of my favorite commissions and if you're going to ECCC you should get on this!
Regency-era She-Hulk in a white gown with purple flowers. Regency-era Nightcrawler wearing a white shirt, gray cravat, red-and-black striped vest, black pants and black top hat. Regency-era Batgirl in a green-blue gown and white shawl with little bats. She's holding a dark gray masquerade mask in the shape of a bat cowl on a stick over her eyes and a green-blue fan with a yellow Batsignal. Regency-era Spider-Gwen wearing a white gown with a dark blue bodice, a matching dark blue shawl, and a white hat. Her sleeves and the underside of her hat have dark magenta accents with white webbing.

Thanks, Merriam-Webster. 😐

At least I learned a new word? 💙📚
