A patron came in to the library a few weeks ago looking for a copy of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". She said she wanted to replicate Peter's coat for her daughter's rabbit. Library staff found her the book thinking she meant a stuffed rabbit. But, lo and behold, it was a real rabbit! Introducing... Melvin Rabbit!
"i miss monster of the week tv" "why does everything have to be full of snarky ironic self aware jokes why cant anything be earnest" "why does every episode have to move the plot forward why arent there silly 'filler episodes' anymore" "remember when a season of tv was more than 8 episodes" The people yearn for tokusatsu.
today i watched an episode of kamen rider where ikadevil captured kamen rider's friend and mentor, tobei tachibana, and forced him into being his personal trainer at shocker's evil gym. ikadevil made tachibana whip him and yell at him while he beat up a punching bag and did flips on a trampoline. tachibana was really into it and was becoming genuinely verbally and physically abusive towards ikadevil to motivate him into getting in shape to beat kamen rider. tachibana was digging deep into some whiplash (2014) shit that he never does to his friend kamen rider... does shocker's depravity know no bounds?
i last watched this movie over a decade ago, and it's interesting coming back to it in our current cultural landscape. i don't think any other movie has been this viscerally anxious about the ascendance of the "gig economy", the compartmentalization that comes with it, and its impact on artistic expression. highly recommend
i have deleted all social media apps off of my telephone. where my icon for "X" once was, i have placed the kindle app. the only book i have downloaded is sir walter scott's "waverley". i have never been more content looking at my phone (other than when my gf texts me)
waverley's dad is a whig and his uncle is a tory so in order to prevent any political dispute about his education they have made him join the army and go live in scottland. that's about as far as i've gotten. walter scott has said "my friends hated this part of the book but i thought the setup was important so i left it in" multiple times by this point
Of COURSE he crinkled the slide paper door! I would NEVER make such a stupid mistake! I just couldn't PROVE it! Ever since he shed his winter coat! Always the same... just wanted tulle for breakfast! He got the funny face penalty and I SAVED HIM
Excuse me ...I feel he may talk about me but I don't know him... could anyone tell me who he is...?
