Now I want some simmered daikon...

Birthday dinner. First time having otoro grade tuna and OMG good. Also scored a Luffy character stand for turning in 15 dishes.

Making the base for ice cream for my birthday tomorrow. Slight tweaks to the recipe, but staying mindful of Savage’s Law - “If you don’t write it down, you’re just screwing around.”

Honestly, the best episode of the series...

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Many, many years ago when we were young and drank far too much for our own good we named our con parties after Star Trek and booze. The only two I remember after all this time are: Star Trek: The Wrath of Cognac Star Trek: The Search for Stroh's Dave, Charlie, Micheal... I miss y'all so much.

"I saw Elvis making a MegaMail transfer!" Sadly, I lost my file of MegaMail* signature lines years and years ago. This is the only one of hundreds that I actually remember. I wonder how many would still be funny/culturally relevant today? *A store-and-forward forum system similar to FidoNet.

My Saturday, baking bread and tending a huge pot of soup.

Yay! Hikari no Sumika, the OP tune from #rurirocks is available on iTunes and has been added to my permanent playlist! www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Zm...

My First Impressions post is now up and ready for your reading pleasure and comments! apprenticemages.com/2025/10/07/f...

#crunchyroll test pattern that escaped into the wild and was visible on my Roku earlier this evening... Anyone recognize the anime? @worldofcrap.bsky.social @milesofficial.bsky.social

Finally! Day Three of the Fall 2025 #anime season and there's stuff worth watching and commenting about. So, here we go with my premiere discussion thread: (1/n)

Is this the newest iteration of the CGDCT genre?

And so the seasonal madness begins... Though I've got a crazy IRL schedule for the next day or so, so I'm starting off on the back foot. But honestly, it's a couple of days before anything I'm actually looking forward to premieres.

This.

These are very comfy chairs... Currently sitting in one I won in an ANN contest a few years ago. #animenewsnetwork #secretlabs

Agreed... especially because this was the 2nd ep in row to pull out Big Finale Energy. I don't want it to be over. Nice to see the younger members of the cast maturing to the point where they can step out on their own with minimal guidance from Nagi and Yoko. #anime

Two little fuzzbutts sleeping off a rough morning of having their house cleaned.

I know you've been waiting - and here it is! My Fall 2025 #anime Anticipation Post! apprenticemages.com/2025/09/19/f...

And now I want some somen... and I have homemade mentsuyu in the fridge. But I also just started braising some brisket in a chili sauce for tonight's dinner.

Dammit, the closest this is coming is an hour away... And only evening showings to boot. So tempted even so. If it were Tokyo Godfathers or Millenium Actress this wouldn't even be a question. youtu.be/RrWausp8zDQ

Fucking Google has broken the ability to search Gmail's trash bin.

If you live around the central Puget Sound area... this is pretty much spot on. The Mountain is magnificent, and we are obsessed.

Among bubbleheads (USN submariners), Down Periscope is widely held to be the most accurate submarine movie ever made.

Got on a bit of a Manhattan Transfer binge last night... My, my Oh, the feelin' Of the sound Precious and real and Ooh, that's nice Whip up some steamin' jazz www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKFJ...

Look, I don't make the rules... But when a song comes on the radio and there's a #weirdal version, I sing the Weird Al version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iwe...

@beamjockey.bsky.social is visiting Seattle, and pondering taking the ferry to meet up reminded me of how spectacular the photography opportunities can be...

Weirdly for how easily I sopped up complex technical information when I was in the Navy... I was a pretty poor student in school.

Been hitting it hard for the last week and a half, packing and moving stuff to the new place. Movers show up tomorrow for the heavy stuff, so this will our last night here. I swear, once this is done and we are settled in, I shall lift nothing heavier than a beer for at least a month.

We almost dropped Ruri after the first episode because she was such an annoying little so and so and the episode was so inconsistent and scattered. I'm glad we stuck with it because episode by episode it's built up a solid foundation. The payoff this week was fantastic. #rurirocks #anime

Given how many odd and seemingly popular niches of videos have popped up on Youtube and elsewhere... I propose rewording Rule 34 to "there's a market for that".

Damm. Farewell and following seas CAPT Lovell.

Poor Honkers, back into her box along with the rest of my figures until the computer room gets set up at the new place.

I. Am. Ruri!

If you're not swooning over exquisitely animated passionate monologues about geology, why are you even watching anime? Honestly, this is fun show, but they really turned it up to 11 this week. #rurirocks #anime

Closed on our new place yesterday! Bigger place, basically the same money.

*Ponders*

All is good and right in the world.

I never took a class that wasn't related to my "major"...

RIP Tom Lehrer Damm. Damm. DAMM. www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

Good news indeed! I did not originally expect Medalist to be as solid as it was, and now I can't wait for more.

2nd season when?

An eternal truth.

“What perfect albums came out when you were 16?” I turned 16 in Nov '79... Which means '80 was actually the year I spent most of being 16. So I'm going to split the difference and take two albums from each year. All formative albums for my musical tastes.

Yeah Baby! Hit me with the good stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdB4...
