I had a Pod Racer Anakin Halloween costume I really liked and wore for two years. The film did some cool things.

Semester exams will let me have a whole week off starting Friday, but it's not like I'm doing nothing those days either between an audition and other meetings. 🤷‍♂️

No rest for the weary. 😔

Like, even an option for JP subtitles for the Japanese media would be nice, but I'm not going to argue against the range of titles I can't find on other platforms.

My account was included with my apartment (as an additional cost), and I haven't regretted it since. 🤣

I wish U-NEXT offered subtitles, but the selection really is great.

Me: This app has literally one job. Stop making it lag and just let me read the damn file on my own.
