you don't realize the degree to which pencil sharpeners totally disappear from your life after you leave middle school until you need to sharpen a colored pencil and the only thing you have available is a pocket knife

it's so depressing how bad almost all music media sites are at covering anything coming out of asia. I feel like there's so little excuse for this blind spot to be so huge when young music listeners are more tapped in than ever.

the laundry situation is so dire today that I almost put on a cosplay instead of normal clothes

I feel silly even complaining about this, but it's been hard to really put my all into my usual passions with my country coming apart at the seams. nothing I love to do really feels important anymore and it makes sitting down to write so hard.

not religious at all, but the florid prose of the king james bible has infected my speech to an absurd degree. I flirt with girls by calling their feminine charms principalities and powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, granted by the rulers of darkness of this world.

they should invent a discord status that actually means do not disturb and not just "online but red"

a fun thing about having curly hair is that errant strands will sometimes make delightful little shapes when they stick to the walls of the shower. I saw one today that looked like a cute long-necked dinosaur

hate it when I'm buying a premade thing from the grocery store and the cashier asks me some shit like "dinner?" it's none of your business what I'm about to do with this sandwich

one of my favorite weird objects in my possession: this conversion software for the visual novel Suika that turns the game into a gameboy advance ROM. such an interesting little relic of the early 2000s doujin scene

good mail day. more manga to sit atop my unshelved piles of books

anybody wanna admit they have a crush on me before the rapture happens?

I love being a beautiful brown woman

waking up from a sexy dream in a cold sweat is so annoying like. I was having fun. let me back in there

watching the umamusume anime and even when I know special week will win the race I still cry and feel incredible pride as if I trained her myself

thinking about how much music white people aren't aware of simply because they have never attended a black wedding. there's a whole canon of wedding songs you don't hear basically anywhere else these days. where else you hearing Brian McKnight? Jagged Edge? Eric Benét? K-Ci & JoJo?

no bigger confidence boost than having a day where my hair looks really good

it's a little bit wild how helpless people can be with finding music these days. I had a post pop off a little bit on twt and there's mad people asking me to help them find the albums. there's youtube uploads for all of them lol

can we all agree that True Love Story: Remember My Heart is one of the cutest jewel case experiences of all time

I need to figure out a way to make my computer beep like a microwave when my torrents are done downloading

so happy that @glacierbaybooks.com is finally putting out a proper volume of Akino Kondoh's work. you have no idea how painful it's been that the only thing I could recommend people read from my favorite manga artist in English is this long out of print zine that's only 50 pages

one of my favorite video games, Apple Town Monogatari, just got a translation patch released the other day. I just want you to look at the cover.

that part of the chorus on Prince's "Kiss" where he's making kissing noises on every eighth note and hitting the guitar stabs on every sixteenth. that's what it sounds like inside my brain

when I invite a girl over for youtube and chill this is what I want to watch.

I'm labubu, she's pazuzu. could it be any more obvious?

looking at scans of furoku stickers included in Ciao!, the magazine Utena was published in. Chiho Saito originally intended to draw Utena as a blonde and that made its way onto some early promotional materials. she looks really cute with this color scheme!

been reading contemporary reviews of Clock Tower 3 because it's been on my mind a lot lately. this game was a wild crossover between the worlds of interactive software and film, with the absolutely legendary Kinji Fukasaku taking the director's chair for his last ever project before he passed.

she's my everything bagel... but I'm a nothing burger 💔

something fun about revisiting Sakamoto's stuff is all the ways he reimagined his own work. there are so many versions of Thousand Knives, but none of them sound like this stunning version on /05. I get to fall in love with one of my favorite pieces of music again www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS3o...

to all media professionals and documentarians that are interested in telling my story: please understand that I am very cute

love it when real life bands are casually acknowledged in anime. funniest thing in the world to me lol

so did everybody know that each Yellow Magic Orchestra member has scored at least one film about a cute animal? ✿ Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Adventures of Chatran (1986) ✿ Yukihiro Takahashi - The Adventures of Gaku (1991) ✿ Haruomi Hosono - Gu Gu the Cat (2008)

pretty awful day on the whole, but on the bright side: I'm allowed to just listen to Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Self Portrait" whenever I want? hell yeah dude www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Oy...

oh man I just heard the news. rip haru urara 💔

normally not one to go for compilation albums, but Ryuichi Sakamoto's Gruppo Musicale rules because it was curated by a total freak. this tracklist is such a strange and incredible picture of the maestro's catalog

there is something so therapeutic about the process of ripping a CD. hearing the mechanical whining of a device being pushed to its limit doing the exact thing it's designed to do is just so beautiful. I have broken so many disc drives simply by using them lol

I can tell I'm extremely hormonal today because I've been crying nonstop about the passing of haru urara lol

they're arguing over on tw*tter whether mellon collie is the best album from 1995, so I spitefully made a chart of albums from that year I'd much rather think about

anybody wanna let me hold three stacks? yeah, of course it's for a good reason

mods are asleep. nobody will know I'm still up yearning

I used to be so self-conscious about my little flecks of gray hair until a cute girl called them tiger stripes. now I love them

t-pain in 2025 be like: I'm in love with oomf

love how cute the cover of the new Emma Aibara album looks on a tiny LCD screen

why does having a crush feel like taking one tick of poison damage every thirty seconds. I'm one tapped. please doordash me antidote and a hyper potion

this is the song playing in my head on an endless loop www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZtM...

exercised a little bit of discipline and saved listening to the new Nourished by Time for a particularly pensive evening. good choice. it's hitting 😭 youtu.be/xm03SXrZiRo

it's crazy how it's ten thousand times easier for me to hold a conversation with someone that likes music. it's the thing I love the most and that makes me happiest to think about. I can forget about my anxiety and just be myself lol

big day today. I went through all my tabs and actually did my business with them instead of leaving them open forever. I feel spiritually healed.

not a lot of songs more beautiful than this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOvm...

doohickeys. devices. contraptions. doodads and whatchamacallits. gizmos and various contrivances. the apparatus will change the way you do business.

they're calling me the dumbest girl in the world. I set a world record for highest density of rocks in my head
