GDT's Frankenstein is a sumptuous, towering masterpiece, and makes me so happy to have seen it in a cinema. And such a cool one too!

I love how much feeling is in every part of this movie. I love how many feeling-leftovers it sent me home with.
Small cinema with giant broadsheet posters advertising magicians with names like GEORGE and CARTER; chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling giving a golden glow.

this is how I'm gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts.
vintage 90s photograph of someone with a dark tan and pale yellow shirt with their head tilted back towards the sky, reflected in their giant glasses. They're wearing what can't possibly be anything but face paint, in pink and blue stripes across the cheeks, a yellow line down the nose, and a white lower lip

(2/2) This third one ("What to Do") is heavily lifted from a post by @gregpak.net which I will go find and link below. I had a much more angry / maudlin idea before I saw his post and realized it's better to give people something to DO rather than a thing to be mad at.
A spooky looking man whose hair is shaved all around the front and middle of his skull, but has left plenty of brown hair, including a long rat-tail, around the back of his head, stares out from behind a pillar. "PLEASE STEAL THIS SIGN. Nothing will happen as a direct result." Further down: "Nothing at all." At the bottom: "Go on, try it." A man who looks a little stressed watering a lawn. He's smiling but his eyes don't match the smile. Script text reads: "Are you tired of your family *not* being pleased?" A heavily filtered image of an asphalt road stretching into the far distance, cumulus clouds hanging low over the horizon. Title: "On What to Do With the Time That is Given Us: Our greatest strength is each other. Find your people in your local community. Stick up for everyone. Use the power you have to make the difference you can. Learn to say no. Talk to people IRL about the things that matter to you. It's OK to be late as long as you show up. Whatever the "right" choice is, making one is always better than doing nothing."

PAX West 2025 Goof Banners (1/2) - I took forever posting these because I already posted them on the Club PA Patreon as well as a whole behind-the-scenes podcast about each of the designs.
Banner advertising "Divorced Vacations by Joan." Blue to purple gradient background, bright orange / salmon / mauve / teal accents. Very 90s. Images of people on vacation, and being alone or weirdly near each other, if not together. "Come wed or come alone, it doesn't matter: You'll wish you'd spent your entire life with our handsome waiters!" At the bottom is a man holding a tray with two glasses and a wine bottle. He looks very 90s, but not especially heartbreaking. He seems nice! Banner that appears to just be two horses grazing in midsummer beige-brown grass. In the finest possible contrast (barely visible) near the top, the words "hey buddy, did you eat lunch yet" White banner with black text and barely any graphics; there is one image with someone apparently wearing a motorcycle helmet and a dental apparatus keeping their mouth open. "MOUTHFEEL, from the creators of 3D ASMR. A new way to experience virtual reality. Have you ever seen but want taste? and but it's in computer? Well, that's what we do. Mouths were made for fillin and we've got all the fixins. Introducing Mouthfeel: "I gotta know." A huge arrow points to a QR that links to the wikipedia page for Michael Jordan's "stop it, get some help" meme. A Rider Alert banner for PAX Metro Transit, in blue, black, and white. "For the next two stops, this train will be a bus. It will then briefly be a T-Rex, a robot, and a cat. Regular service will resume at 7th Avenue."

"you said you'd be back by 10"
Black cat at rest, seen from atop the back of a red armchair, facing the camera. She has a relaxed, calculating expression and head tilt like she's waiting for an answer.

Caught my cat being small / little / wee
Black cat on white botanical print duvet. Foreshortening makes her look very little, and her tail has a fun S shape to it. Her eyes look twinkly like gems.

October. I got home and realized I hadn't flipped it yet and gave myself a big rueful chuckle
Handmade collage calendar flipped to October. What appear to be giant candy from the UK hang on a rack, as a person sits and photographs them. Inset: "it's heartbreaking to come back to America"

Four tiny little handmade ships of brass, canvas, pear wood and some paint set beside a penny for scale. They are sized perfectly for hex grid ship combat. Closeup of the frigate, a 3 masted powerhouse with a beautiful sense of handicraft and scale, and with an anchor.

Once again I attempted to finish this dish in one sitting and once again I was bested (a fine bento for later)
A bowl of rich orange curry, with greens sprinkled atop, a slice of pumpkin steeping in it, and a rich slow roasted bone-in lamb shank rising from the middle. It's sprinkled with cashews and drizzled with coconut cream. A soft round pillow of sticky jasmine rice sprinkled gently with sesame seeds. The menu reading "lamb massaman curry. Lamb shank, pineapple, pumpkin, roasted cashews, coconut"

Vinyl banner advertising a magician named Cosentino, whose show TRICKED: AN EVENING OF WONDER is to be playing at an Australian casino in November. Cosentino is a Black man with dreads peeking out from under his fedora, short sleeved button down shirt showing off his developed biceps and tattoos, several bracelets and silver watch. His tie, vest, and fedora are all a gentle silver grey. He's also wearing white cotton gloves and holding a crystal / fushigi ball towards the camera, and in the background shattered glass appears to reflect other promo shots of Cosentino doing various magics and poses.

Reading profoundly old books helps me go to sleep except when I am pulled back from its ragged edge by asides like this.

Fuck of a week, so outside was nice
In the foreground, some twisty fir branches ending in clusters of bulbous pinecones. In the background, a vast conical fir of another species, probably a cedar. It's late afternoon and the sky has no clouds.
