One episode to go with the first season of Finding Mr Christmas, and I realized I should know who won, because I watched the movie last year (solely because it was set in Seattle.) Amazing.

Wait, there are libraries where you can get book-books (not just graphic novels) through Hoopla?

A terrific letterboxd last four (now that I've finally logged The Secret Agent, which is excellent.)

Also I just really love that this is the post that made @talcotts.bsky.social decide they were in on this thing after twenty years. To be fair, it is a knockout.

How it started...

Of course it's coming to the Gateway but not anywhere in Seattle! It's okay Jackson Yee, we'll always have Criterion Channel!

Can you imagine how Seattle would react if FIFA actually got the committee to cancel Pride activations? It would be the gayest "I will fucking increase the fucking thing" you have ever seen in your entire life.

Staffers from another West Coast city just dropped by to check things out, and I wish I hadn't had another customer because I could've talked to them all day. Municipal nerds unite!

I guess I will not be looking for a white Christmas in Spokane this year.

Sorry to the film critics of 1952, but The Holly and the Ivy seems to have fallen into my holiday rotation. But then I love a movie where you can see the stage roots.

A thing I enjoy about streamer profiles is when someone accidentally watches inside mine. So tonight on #firstvoyage, we're continuing with Bubble Guppies, I mean, Disco S3!

Kanopy & Libby are also both great reasons to see if your library has any reciprocal agreements. I have three times the Kanopy tickets and access to three different collections on Libby (plus triple the holds there, which is really the best part.)

That I looked at this at 8am & XL & 2XL were already sold out, once again leaving money on the table.

Took the ferry to Bainbridge to see Farm Dreams, and this theater is so cute!

Wait, is Sniper Butterfly a noona romance? Okay Zhou Keyu, our baby giraffe, I guess I'll have to consider it.

I just found a Hallmark movie where Shirley MacLaine is a guardian angel, so that's tomorrow night sorted.

Barely ninety seconds into this Hallmark movie and we've had two product placements, Thai soaps are gonna have to step up their game.

Hallmark+ had my back. They're playing it for the sapphics even, amazing.

I didn't realize until I got down here that there were three holiday markets in a row, more or less on Mercer: the Urban Craft Uprising, the Black Artists Market, & the Giving Marketplace.

I totally agree with this and I'm mad I haven't heard it yet.

Tomorrow is Figgy Pudding, which you should swing through if you're downtown. This is the first time I've seen it held during the day! My favorite group of carolers is the Seattle Labor Chorus because of course it is.

I wasn't going to go to the light rail extension opening tomorrow, but I just found out they're giving away 1 Line beanies, which I'm sorry to say is tempting.

Anyway I watched a bunch of stuff this week and none of it was on Netflix (though Wake Up, Dead Man missed this by one.) Letterboxd last four!

So, does this mean I'll have to go to fucking Shoreline for Warner Brothers movies too?

Update: they never did & I am seated for Merrily! A small win for today!

My new favorite tshirt has arrived!

A little concerned that the first Torrent game I didn't watch is the first one they win. (Parting Glances was showing tonight! I'm sorry! I'm a film gay first!)

AMC doesn't have anything I want to see this weekend (except for the Hong Kong movie that's playing too late), clearly a sign they want me to stay home and work on my goddamned Yuletide.

Instagram, bro, I am never gonna turn on location services, please knock it the fuck off.

Okay, I worked from home today as the good lord intended, so we're back to #firstvoyage with Star Trek (2009.) Not sure if we're ready for all this lens flare, but let's go!

Really grateful that I have browsing history turned off on YouTube, because I do not need a year end recap to tell me I watched 90% GMMTV trash & 10% Anton Walbrook movies.

Wow, so thoughtful of Criterion Channel to add this the day after I watched both Ali: Fear Eats the Soul & All That Heaven Allows!

I hope this Bi Gan collection on Criterion Channel means they'll get Resurrection.

I have had a strategic hold on The Preacher's Wife for a year, paused until today, and they just put it up on Tubi.

Santa has moved up to the fourth floor of Nordstrom & the merry-go-round is tucked into the gated community of the Seattle Christmas Market... maybe Seattle really *is* dying.

Knives Out is totally sold out for today, despite the fact that the theater is in the suburbs and barely accessible, guess folks like leaving Seattle money on the table.

Moving this evening's plans to tomorrow because I got on a roll seaming these sock yarn blanket squares & that's not to be wasted. Also I have to go out tomorrow for Pokemon reasons anyway.

"Dude, I love your fit." "Thanks man, I was actually looking at your hair." Guys, is Finding Mr Christmas going to fill the Chuang 2021 void in my heart? (No, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna help.)

Listen, streamers, we can either have a secure password, or we can have a password I can key in with a goddamned remote, but we cannot have both.

Fishy for the puck drop! I love this!

Oh dang it's Friday! Have a letterboxd last four! Honestly a pretty solid lineup here.

I need an oral history of this ornament immediately.

Just saw a fic teaser that repeatedly referred to a "landline phone" and I say this with great love: my children, it was just a phone.

Once again I'm trying to find a place to get a coffee before a 7pm movie and it's shockingly difficult.

How has no one on letterboxd mentioned this?! Is that not the fucking point of letterboxd?

Sorry but I just watched Paperback Hero and I need to know why Ruby spent most of the movie cosplaying as Edward Yang

Sorry to report there will be no #firstvoyage tonight because I wasn't able to work from home today and these are the consequences.

This is a great time to remember that the City Council President is also a department head.

I'd just be happy if Rapinoe's number could get retired to the rafters and not to a video screen during Reign matches only, but sure a statue is nice.

Maybe don't say "the girls" when your sports team includes a non-binary person. (Also maybe don't say it because it's demeaning.)
