i may say something terrifically stupid every time i open my mouth, but at least my 5yo niece thinks i'm cool. or maybe she just thinks i'm weird like one of those bugs she finds on the ground

god why is whiskey so. nice.

le guin was on fucking something else in nineteen sixty-nine

accidentally ordered tokusatsu instead of tonkatsu at this restaurant and now this guy won't stop doing stunts. The waiter can't even take him back because whenever he tries the guy strikes a pose and a bunch of explosions go off behind him

getting sent to bed early because i "make bad decisions" when my "social battery is drained"

as always, hiroshi nagahama panels devolve into "check out these comics i bought"

going outside is such misery. but nagahama. the things i do!!

accompanying my wife to fanime, i am pleasantly surprised to discover that hiroshi nagahama is here as a guest. but i already have aku no hana autographed...!

bees only recognize a true queen

i still don't know what a touhou is and refuse to learn

never forgive the brits for ruining baked beans

being away from home and easy access to Nice Coffee is suffering as a conditional coffee-liker (the condition is it doesn't suck)

Adolescence of Utena theatrical placeholder listing - June 21, 2026 www.amctheatres.com/movies/adole... www.regmovies.com/movies/adole... www.cineplex.com/movie/adoles...

finally getting around to the summer hikaru died and instantly get hit with akb48 jumpscare, thanks

according to my wife, a hatless touhou may as well be bald. i'd argue but she's right

brake screech intensifies

annoying my wife with japanese comedy skits from 2011 never gets old. tbf she deserves it for subjecting me to too much young kimutaku

it's been like 15 years so i think i'm due for a reread, with maybe a little lynch as a treat

at my gen z wife's insistence, i went and saw that video game movie that hit theaters last month. i don't know what i expected if not 90 minutes of sinking dread every time that middle-aged man with the plastic smile shows up on screen. a miserable experience with seemingly no end in sight

i'm pretty used to my parents sending me home with like ten pounds of pears from their garden every time i visit, but "bag full of lemons that the neighbor's tree dropped in their yard" is a new one. anyway, i'm forgoing a grocery trip today because my hands are full of So Many Goddamn Lemons

please let me get up luna i am begging you

finally got around to seeing KOKUHO. immediate thought: for a film about onnagata kabuki actors, there's a remarkable lack of Gender going on. makes me appreciate all the more what showa genroku rakugo shinjuu did in interrogating gender as performance, and performance as an expression of gender

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

strive to reach a level of comprehension in your L2 where you can sniff out which concerns about historicity in video games are rooted in a nuanced understanding of past atrocities, and which ones are dogwhistles from racist weirdos who don't think indigenous identity is real

thought about making pasta, decided that was too much work, so instead i ate a can of tomatoes with a pinch of salt and am pretty much satisfied

me after completing one task

being visibly asian in the local hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant: all the white people come up to ask what you ordered because it looks good

sometimes i forget i'm the older one in the relationship but then my wife asks me "what's shakugan no shana" and i die a little inside

ink ribbon saves may no longer be a standard part of the bio experience, but fear not, the pennypinchers among us still get to agonize over not-crimsonheads

something i didn't realize i'd miss about the midwest: squirrels with giant fluffy tails. what do you MEAN californian squirrels aren't fifty percent tail by volume

wife soft and... actually not that warm, but that's okay because i overheat anyways

pubby

i love the cat even though she's dumb as bricks. perhaps even because of it. may she have the luxury of never having to think a single thought in the rest of her kitty life.

oh hey you know what i'm over five years behind on? bears, and also bears

brain's current status is like, whatever the opposite of mindfulness is, like if you mixed pop rocks into grey matter and then tossed it into a deep fryer

i like my wife :)

hey! it's ass o'clock and i'm lowkey unhinged!

stray thought: after all the baby steps figure skating has been taking to be *less* gendered over the years (see: reducing free skate jumping passes for the men; removing spiral sequence and layback requirements for the women) i'd hate to see the sport turn into, like, gymnastics

haven't had the time to watch any sportsing but i can do the math to tell you that 3.30 * 1.5 > 8.00 * 0.5 - 1.00

i like my wife :)

feels weird spending another winter somewhere it doesn't snow; my midwestern ass is still convinced it's like september 2023. i miss seasons, dammit

what walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening? a pair of chickens crossing the road, one of whom gets badly injured by a car before lunch but hops right back into action around five thirty. why do they do it? how should i know, i'm a sphinx not a mind reader

"i've been in this city for years, surely i know how to navigate," i say, immediately missing my stop and also going east instead of west. i swear you could turn me around once and i would get lost

hauling my ass to a chain theater on a thursday afternoon to watch the cartoon remake of that one tom cruise movie--

at the nintendo store wao

the tragedy of wanting to make mac and cheese but having neither actual cheese nor milk for the kraft box

the country is Like This but hey i just bought my wife a sea bunny plush for her to snuggle when she gets back from magfest so it's not as bad as it could be i suppose?

laughing at the stranger things (s4) spoiler in the perk descriptions for dbd's ptb, though to be fair you'd also get hit with it if you were to, like me, simply look up the cast list
