THE KING’S SPEECH is on since it’s one of Jene’s comfort watches. When I entered the room and saw it on the tv I blurted out:  “Come now, Bertie, speak up, was it something from your childhood?” Then “Bububububufuck you.” She glared and it was so gratifying.

As for Chalamet, I like opera.

Watching my buddy Bill play RESIDENT EVIL 9 on Insanity mode. Good news: we’re about 40+ minutes and I’ve yet to get motion sick!

I like the Nirvanna movie, but did they have to shoot it using Dogme 95 rules? (The handheld camerawork made me pretty queasy)

Also, sometimes it’s ok if your partner thinks you’re a mystery. Like, she doesn’t need to know why I’m yelling, “Hadiewijch!” like Ryu says, “Hadouken!” Mysteries like that are the spice of life…and love.

I’m reminded of the quote that is often attributed to George Orwell that states, “2+2, shame on me, but 2+3, shame on you, rock over London, rock on, Chicago.”

I’d normally agree, but the stupid thing is a gift for Jene! :(

I’ve been trying to replace Jene‘s GHOSTBUSTERS cartridge (NES) for months with no luck. 3 different cartridges from 2 stores and…nothing. I used Q-tips and rubbing alcohol and the NES Cleaning Kit. Other NES games work (thank you, MUPPET ADVENTURE: CHAOS AT THE CARNIVAL). Not GHOSTBUSTERS.

Last night I sang to Jene--to the tune of "La Isla Bonita": "Last night I sucked off a Waymo"--and her hiss of exasperation ("Shut UP") gave me life.

From what I understand you can't legally stream the source anime because the app it premiered on changed names and then went under in 2023. And the manga seems pretty OOP?

PSA: Netflix now has KARADA SAGASHI: THE FINAL NIGHT, a Japanese horror manga/anime adaptation about a group of teens stuck in a time loop at their haunted school. It's a sequel to RE/MEMBER (2022), also on Netflix. From the director of live action UMIZARU and ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM adaptations.
