Going to Mikado for the first time this last weekend reminded me how great the older generation of fighting games were. Newer titles are so bogged down by online discourse and esports nonsense. When you strip that away and you have that social aspect of arcades, it’s something completely unmatched.

This year’s Top 15 Halloween first time watches (+1 since Letterboxd works in fours for some reason)! Even though I went through 55 total horror movies, this year’s celebration really petered out compared to last year. I absolutely need to weed out shitty B-horror next year… Chopping Mall SUCKED.

Ever since Ohtani and Yamamoto got signed last year, it’s been so damn fun getting to experience the highs of my home team between my two homes. I’m always elated whenever my students or someone brings up the Dodgers to me it’s such a heartwarming connection between Japan and my hometown

TRON: Ares was great! Genuine moments of awe and emotion that brought me to tears. As much hate as I give Disney these days, they got me good with their usual nostalgia this time. Amazing score, jaw dropping visuals as the series is known for, shockingly enjoyable characters.
PERFECT FRANCHISE.

I DID IT 😭❤️ I used to think I was so awful at this game that I loved that I stuck to Quick Play. I legit thought I wasn't good enough for my old group of ex friends. But after seven seasons... I'm FINALLY here! I KNEW I was sick and now I finally have proof.
I'm a Diamond player 😭❤️ MASTERS IS NEXT.

Was lucky enough to catch the new 4K restoration of the very first Ju-on movie in theaters!
While it isn’t as scary as the famous sequel we know as The Grudge, it was still awesome getting to relive that early 2000s VHS 4:3 aspect ratio fun on the big screen.

I don’t know why I continue to try and share new music with certain friends when nobody bothers to listen or even reply half the time 😭💔

It all just seems like one big sucky in-joke and I can’t stand the pretentiousness that arises from people whenever I try to talk about the genre in a search for understanding.
Like… come on… how edgy do you need to appear?

Honestly feel like the Jurassic World promotion
items at McDonald’s in Japan are the best specials I’ve had since moving here!
Had the Avocado Mayo Shrimp Katsu Cheeseburger and the Pineapple Melon Soda for the first time during my family trip to Osaka last week and I’ve been addicted ever since 🤤

There were a lot of anniversaries that I missed this month, but the most important was the five year mark of when I officially decided to move to Japan ❤️
It took two years to make that dream come true, but now that I’m here, it’s really surreal to put it all into perspective. Forever thankful! ☺️
