I tried watching Frankenstein but gave up after twenty minutes.
I didn't like the "exaggerated" style of everything, from the creature strength to the Frankenstein mansion.
It was in contrast with how I see the story based on the reading of the novel.

I'm sick. Last night I had a high fever and kept noticing familiar patterns in various things: the so-called paredolia.
Fun stuff.

Today's walk: some water, a mushroom and a caterpillar.

I started watching Columbo.
It was one of those shows I would catch random parts of an episode when I was a kid. It holds up really well. It's much more watchable than, say, Murder She Wrote these days.

This might be the first time I feel sorry for a spider. It gets eaten alive by baby wasps...

Door Door has the cutest Famicom box art. Prove me wrong.

I played Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for a few hours.
It's so fun! The problem is that I'm so terribly bad at it. I have no experience for this kind of turn based strategy. But I love the vibe and the exploration.

Such a great movie. The monster looks way too cool — impressive for a 1950s production.

A mockup of what the game might look like. I'll let you guess what it's about...

Hot Summer Nights (2018) is not a particularly great movie but it has a fantastic soundtrack.

It's done. After 15 hours, I completed Dragon Warrior.
I've tried some Dragon Quest games before (DQ8, DWM, DQM:J, DQ11), but this one is the first I played to completion. It was great!

Now I have to come up with some other classics to play.

Latin "false friends"!
In Italian ferita means wound/injury but that's not the case. Then I thought it came from fero (to bring/to bear). Nope, it's from fera — wild beast.

I saw so many butterflies on my walk today!
The only decent picture I took was of this caterpillar though — soon to be a beautiful Aglais io!

Watched The Most Dangerous Game (1932). It's the oldest film I ever watched to completion.

The sole survivor of a shipwreck finds himself in the house of Count Zaroff, who, as it turns out, loves hunting — not just animals but human prey!

Tarkovsky's Solaris is possibly my favorite movie of all time (oh how it's difficult to choose!).
I also read the book but didn't enjoy it much.
I have the original Polish poster up in my room.

Last night I was in the mood for some Columbo.
I started with the first episode (which was great) and when the credits rolled, I found out it was directed by Steven Spielberg!

A little colorful castle I sketched.
I wonder what's inside, would you enter?

I feel sorry for the Metal scorpion.
The poor guy looks sad and scared.

I can't stand staring at my programmer art when starting a new project, so I made some cube monsters.
Now that I look at them... they kinda resemble those square watermelons.

Got a new cool pin and had to place it next to my Gengar.

Yes, this is absolutely the right shelf decor for a 32-year-old woman.
