Christmas Above the Clouds (2025) A retelling of A Christmas Carol, predictable and over the top. But because of the story there's plenty of Christmas magic, even if it's kinda dumb. However. Tyler Hynes. King of the Horny Kiss. So horny. A national treasure.

Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! (2025) This was incredibly charming. It gets better as it goes along and the characters have real, meaningful conversations about their feelings and miscommunications. It's also funny and sweet. And holy hell the kiss is horny. 🎄🎄🎄🎄/5

Found two lion's mane mushrooms today. Mushrooms have felt very hard to find in Ontario this season. Too dry? Maybe. But it always feels cool to find one of these fun guys.

Here's a photo of this happening in the English village of Warkworth from the BBC show Pubs, Ponds and Power: The Story of the Village. So you can see it was a practice that continued for many centuries! youtu.be/lxINRJnhfBI?...

Today was my birthday and I went canoeing and then swam in a waterfall. It was perfect.

I've never been able to take a photo that does Agnes justice. But a friend is staying at our house right now and look at this photo they took of her! That is Black Agnes, Countess of Queensferry, Defender of the Realm, Scourge of the English Army, Chaos Incarnate!

Today I was able to combine two of my favourite activities: looking at 18th century Scottish headstones and petting cats.

My grandmother died yesterday. She was 102. I was convinced she was immortal, as she'd rallied three times before. I would fly home to say goodbye, but then she'd get better. Last time, we spent a day together, with her telling me Death Truths. This time, she died as she lived: on her own terms.

Anime #30 of 2025: Chainsaw Man. I really liked the first season of Chainsaw Man. I think the characters are all flawed in the most unhinged, wonderful ways. To be honest, I'd watch it if it was just a slice of life with Denji and Power causing mayhem and Aki being exasperated with them.

Anime #29 of 2025: Sasaki and Miyano. IT BEGINS. Looking back, this was the beginning of a very particular interest for me. I love BL. So much. I will read and watch anything. It helped that this anime is so sweet and lovely. A thoughtful and emotionally mature look at high school love.

Anime #28 of 2025: Turn A Gundam. We didn't finish watching this, but it had real Ghibli vibes. I think we only watched four episodes? Not for any real reason, probably because we were watching it on BluRay, actually. I'd like to finish it one day.

Anime #27 of 2025: The Apothecary Diaries. Everyone knows this show is great. What's better than an historical drama about an autistic woman solving murders for a beautiful prince(ss) whom she refuses to acknowledge despite how much he loves her b/c she's too horny for poison? NOTHING. That's what.

Anime #26 of 2025: Brave Bang Bravern. Now here is an anime that could've been gayer. Hahaha, if you've watched it, you may wonder how that's possible. This was a fun anime and I really liked the plot (once Jamie figured it out immediately and told me what was happening). It's just fun. A FUN TIME!

Anime (real) #25 of 2025: SK8 The Infinity. I am obsessed with this anime and it's the only one I've watched multiple times. It's so wholesome. And very gay. Some may it's queerbaiting. But watch it and you know it's all canon, even if it's just implied. I love all these boys SO MUCH.

Anime #25 of 2025: The Dangers in My Heart. I think this is my favourite (straight) romance anime I've ever watched. The characters' teen love is so sweet and nostalgic I shrieked and giggled constantly while watching. Ichikawa and Anna are both so weird and delightful. Highly recommend!

Anime #23 of 2025: Mr Villain's Day Off. This anime is special. It's cosy and sweet and hilarious. It is exactly what it says on the tin, every episode is about Mr Villain enjoying his day off, seeing pandas, eating ice cream, helping people out?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's extremely good.

Anime #22 of 2025: Blue Period. Smart but bored student Yatora Yaguchi sees a painting and becomes inspired to try to get into art school. This anime reminded me why art is both so hard and so worth it. It made me want to make art, determinedly.
