Mm, bedtime. My favorite meal of the day.

My brother looking over switch games:

"Kirby, cool, Dark Souls, awright, bayon-etta? What is a bay-on-etta?"

"Anime big tits game. Fights with her hair."

Fuck.

Have you all heard Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"?

Because it's fucking amazing. Like, goddamn. Chills.

Mad World

But covered by Trent Reznor

Also, goddess bless Danai Gurira. Just, in every way.

Also idk if this was intentional or not, but the fight on the vibranium train reminded me a lot of BART, and I was wondering if that was an Oakland easter egg or not. :3

Black Panther was really, really good. But I had some mixed feelings, pretty well expressed by Killmonger's final words: "I would rather be dead than live in bondage."

I think this article did a better job of summing up my mixed feelings, though I wish it had examined those final words, too.

I sort of wonder why sometimes my subconscious lags so far behind the rest of me.

Like last night, for example, I had a dream where I was mooning over my first-ever girlfriend, who I haven't even talked to in person for maybe 8 years. We broke up 11 years ago! What the heck!

... Also saying a girl & I broke up 11 years ago makes me feel *really* old.

Update: So I finally got to see Black Panther. And it was very, very good.

I didn't go to Pantheacon in San Jose this year. Couldn't afford it.

But there are events for "wombyn"-only. I'm sorry, but is there a word more cringe-worthy than "wombyn"?

Boo I'm gonna have to wait until next weekend to see black panther. :(

I live a few blocks from the water myself, but it's just a few blocks.

I mean, gosh.

(Staircase because I like it)

I still can't really believe this is where I live.

My town is definitely *not* lacking for adorable small businesses.

I just walked town, bought the newer paper girls from the comic book store (whose owners I jog with on Sundays), a present for my mom from the bookstore my roommate works at, and a coffee from one of the several small bakeries downtown.

I did a social initiation!

By which I invited my friends to go see black panther with me.

No one's replied yet, but it's more the fact that I did it at all that I'm proud of. :D

The salad I made last night was with spinach, brussels sprouts, broccoli, broccoli slaw (sliced up carrots & broccoli stems), & avocado, so it held up pretty well as leftovers. Just had some now and it was really good!

Wait that *wasn't* Zooey Deschanel in Pushing Daisies? Dango.
