Books📚: 36/20
Films🎥: 130/100
Albums🎧: 93/40
Games🎮: 4/12
but also a bittersweet feeling at how much I loved that movie and the crushing realization that that was 4 months ago and the year is almost over. And I have done nothing that I originally set out to do on here. FUCK.

Also bought Wednesday’s new album Bleeds on CD as a blind buy since having read it being described as “country shoegaze” and that had me very interested. Currently listening to it as I wait for stuff to install on my Steam Deck and so far very accurate and very good!

Just got this in the mail! A CD of Othiel’s WORLDS FASTEST CAR! It released back in May and I only just listened to it last month and it rips! And I (luckily) ended up snagging their last copy lol

1/3 of Demon Slayer’s final arc is watched! It was FUCKING INSANE. Akaza had such a valid villain crash out. I knew buying this figure was wise but that backstory holy shit.

I’ve barely even had time to process this past week that we were getting more JJK but I’m so pumped! I’m glad Akutami is strictly writing and Yuji Iwasaki is illustrating because it was very clear that doing both was having a significant negative effect on Akutami. Love the art of this guy already!

And a surprise drop from Earl Sweatshirt! I’m very excited to listen to this as well!

Dogra Magra also comes with extras just like Criterion and an alternate cover that I think is the original cover art? I swapped it to that because it looks really good.

Had never seen Seven Samurai but watched it immediately and I get it. I understand why it’s one of the greatest films of all time. Completely balanced in its humor and emotion along with having deep philosophical elements. 5 out of 5/10 out of 10 I can’t stop thinking about it.
