A post-Thanksgiving breakfast of champions. 🏆

Watching some seasonally appropriate slasher horror on the couch and eating apple and pumpkin baked treats. Living my best holiday weekend possible. 🦃

Another successful thanksgiving in the books! Brb while I go consume all the leftover and pie and cranberry sauce. 🥴

I'm thankful for today's #ThrowBuThursday! Bu is obviously thankful for donuts. 🍩 We all eat donuts on Thanksgiving, right? 🤔Pic by the always incredible @absolumart.bsky.social (2018)!

First order of business tonight is Thanksgiving prep - cranberry sauce and an apple pie. 😎

Four day holiday weekend sneaking up on me like:

I've started digging into my vast collection of stage show photos from last week and figured I'd try to periodically show off some of the ones that turned out okay. This was from the @japansociety.org event on 11/18! #UltramanLive #UltramanZero #ウルトラマンゼロ

I'm banking so hard on a definitely-not-guaranteed Christmas bonus from my work in order to dig myself out of a bit of a financial hole so now I just feel like I'm going to put myself in a Christmas Vacation scenario.

Out at the Uptown cinema for Twin Peaks: The Return, eps. 7 and 8! They changed venue because episode 8 is the big one and they wanted to do it on the biggest screen they had access to within the local indie circuit.

Need to find some clothes for this guy but so far nothing fits.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? Oh, the Baby Assassins are coming to rescue me? I've never felt more safe in my entire life.

There are few things more life affirming to me than silly monster costumes.

It's here!!!!!!! This is going to be the best Shawscope set so far. I finally own a copy of Inframan! 🤩

It gets increasingly difficult to find desk space but I finally have my little (home) office Christmas tree up for the season. 🥰🎄

Gotta plug my Ko-Fi cuz it looks like I’m gonna be short $60-70 this coming rent day. Any lil bit helps ✌️😌 Muchas thankas~ ko-fi.com/samsarabus

I feel like this got lost in the shuffle of all the incredible experiences I had recently, but I don't think I can understate how happy I am that I got to meet a director of movies I love, who created stuff as cool as this.

Another film legend gone. 💔

I went out and got an acrylic display for the Omega Slugger I got last week and I'm absolutely stunned I managed to find one that displays it pretty darn nicely. 🥳

I didn't have the privilege to attend #UltramanLive this weekend but I'm still buzzing about going last weekend. Sad to see it's over but glad I got to experience it. I hope to see more in the future!! 💪💪💪

A movie that takes place where you're from (coming from a military family, I don't have one place I consider where I'm 'from' but this is where I 'am' at least).

I'm not obsessed, you're obsessed!!!! (I took dozens of photos during this stage show that I don't know if I'd ever want to inundate my followers with, lmao.) #UltramanLive

First episode of Kikaider 01 and subtlety is not on the table lmao.

Surprise tokusatsu in the mail today! Really excited to watch this one.

The tree is up and the heroes are protecting the star!! 💪⭐

Neek and I are doing a double feature this morning of movies that aren't about a green lady on a broomstick singing songs.

This kid was basically me during my trip this past week lmao.

I assume normal people don't shoot over 650 photos in the span of 4 days. Something around 90% of those photos are of guys in rubber suits too.

Back at Northwest Film Forum to experience episodes 5 and 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return! I cannot wait to see Naomi Watts say "noon-thirty" on the big screen.

This video is from the official Tsuburaya Twitter account. A good reel of the event at Japan Society in Manhattan on Tuesday. Easily one of the coolest experiences I've had in my time as an Ultraman fan. 🥰💪✨

Decorating my room like an adult.

It's #ThrowBuThursday again! This is a pic from 2020 by the amazing @cernohimbull.bsky.social. One of my favorite examples of a beefy Bu pin-up! 💪💪💪💪

As far as the transformation devices go, I was a little nonplussed at the one for Omega. But now that I own one? Nevermind, this thing rules and I can't wait to display it on my shelf. 💪💪💪

Happy to be home and it's so weird to wake up on one side of the country and now just be here at my desk working like it's a normal day on the total opposite end of the country. I do miss NYC already, what a fun town. 😤

I return home and the first thing I see is new fun stuff to enjoy! 💪

I'm excited for the holidays because when else will we have an opportunity to make donut holes kiss? 🍩💋🍩

Here's an assortment of misc NYC photos from the past couple days. First up, I'm bummed that I missed a shot of the Bumblebee actor using his phone.

On my way back to my own bed. 😴🛫

The #UltramanLive event at @japansociety.org was the perfect ending to an incredible experience this week. I hope Tsuburaya can put on more shows in the future (preferably closer to my home out west 🙏). Extra thanks to @jeffgomez.bsky.social for being cool and chatting with me a bunch!

I'm sorry guys, I have 100 more stage show photos. 😭 #UltramanLive #UltramanZero #ウルトラマンゼロ

Dada, Baltan, and Metron showed up and this whole area became chaos!!!

My next (and final) event of my little mini-vacation:

Yes, I managed to talk myself out of the Shin Kamen Rider book (maybe I'll find it back home at my local Kinokuniya...) but no, I couldn't talk myself out of the oni cup holder.

Back at the Nintendo Store for the first time in 10 years! Oh noooo, I'm crying he's so adorable. 😭😭😭

"So what's the theme of our fountain?" "OKAY, get this: a majestic merman riding a fish. But here's the twist, the fish has a stomach flu." "......... brilliant, incredible, sugoi! Let's make it happen!!"

Oh damn, found a 200 page Shin Kamen Rider production book at Kinokuniya and the urge to buy it is almost too great!! 😨😨😨

On the subway train last night, I sat where a celebrity once sat. I'm absolutely starstruck!

Thanks very much for the awesome script! Here are the inks~ Waxing (Page 1/6) (Writer: @jpatricks.bsky.social )

I'm mildly self conscious of inundating folks with all my vacationing shenanigans, I appreciate the folks sticking with me while I'm running around being excited. 🙏💕💪
