Really does seem like I'm sticking to that one post a week model, thankfully. There's a lot on my mind racing and I'm not sure exactly where I should start with, I sound so depressed right now but it's actually the quite opposite, I feel quite great today. I've been watching a lot of movies again which feels great to get back into the swing of, I picked back up on the Lone Wolf And Cub films with the two titles Baby Cart at the River Styx and Baby Cart To Hades, I'm frankly blown away, they've managed to be completely consistent with being great considering they're all made in the same year. I'm not exactly into samurai movies but after watching Sion Sono's Antiporno, a shallow critique done through very basic and boring surrealism, I needed to get back into what I really enjoyed, old Japanese cinema. Old is a vague term if I'm gonna be completely honest with you but in my eyes everything made before 1990 is considered old, film wise at least. The only problem is that I keep watching these films at 10 PM, around the time I get tired, I would love to start earlier but I keep starting at 10, and I end up dozing off for a minute and miss some stuff without realizing it and it's gotten pretty annoying when I'm invested like I am with the stories in Lone Wolf and Cub. I'm sorry, I'm staring at this keyboard right now and my mind is blank, I'm not sure why. Alright, I'm back now, I think I was zoning out because I was listening to Boris, more specifically the song Continues, which is 4 minutes of pitched buzzing noises, but it makes you think and reflect, at least it does me. I need to finish Sukeban Deka, I mentioned it in the last post but it's everything I love in a show, the writing, music, way it's shot, I really love it a lot and wish to continue when I can. Though, I really want to continue Godzilla too, whenever that'll be, feels like never at this point but I can't say exactly, maybe I'll get a spark of motivation to watch him again, I still have a massive love for the thing. In my class for web design we were presented with a research project and when the teacher mentioned doing research on a topic, my mind instantly went to Godzilla, more specifically the Heisei era of Godzilla. I'm not exactly sure why, I think I have some type of fondness for him, and in general I find that era of Godzilla to be pretty strange, character and film wise but that's a whole other rant for now. I'm struggling to talk about topics here, I'm really sorry, I thought I'd have more but I don't plan these out so I can't say for certain this'll happen everytime. I have 36.5 FM episode 3 and 4 done so I don't have to think about those for the rest of the year, though by episode 10 I'll have a great surprise, trust me, it'll be worth the wait. I've been listening to the Boris album Soundtrack From Film "Mabuta No Ura" and it's pretty spectacular, really a favorite of mine from them so far. I really love Boris if you couldn't tell, something about the band connects to me like nothing else, but I think realistically it's because of how diverse their sound is, no album sounds similar, so you're getting into a new trip everytime you throw a record on, like it's incredible the same band made Pink, and Attention Please, I'm running through their discography still and there's so much but I'm so happy it exists, it makes me happy when there's a lot of stuff to get through because of how dry everything feels in content, that and the music is pretty spectacular. Something about it moves me in a positive light, same way that GTBSB does, something I can't get enough of. I'm on It Touches right now and it just feels, amazing, the repeating notes on the bass and the guitar, the same drum loop, it's all amazing. I plan to have the discography to Boris finished in the upcoming weeks, and I'll make sure to tell you when it does happen because it seems to be pretty frequent as I'm listening to their stuff everyday it feels, so keep in mind. I currently just picked up Goodnight Punpun too, I'm only 36 chapters in but it reminds me of when I was a child, I can recognize these feelings and how they would feel for the main character and I believe that it's portrayed greatly in the manga though the only setback is the self reflection it causes you to do. The writing really is top notch though, everything hits as it's supposed to and it's kind of incredible that's only conveyed through words, it's inspirational, to say the least. I can't wait to read more and see where it takes me, I'm really enjoying what I'm reading so far, it feels great to read something like this. I'm not sure what else to talk about so I'm gonna go over one more thing and call this a post because it's 8 in the morning right now and thinking too much can probably cause me a headache, I decided to record myself ramble on about my problems last night and I feel good about it because it felt great to ramble on like that but it also felt great to re-listen and not hate my voice. I'm surprisingly pretty happy with my voice and I think if I had to have one it'd be that one. I think that's all my mental capacity can hold, I forgot to mention on the research assignment that I didn't get to do Godzilla, but instead I got the striped skunk, which was by choice so I'm pretty happy with it. I love skunks, they're so cute. I'll have a better post Monday, this one feels scattered right now and I'm sorry for that. I feel pretty good though and I hope you too and have a blessed day.

P.S. I also plan on getting into more Japanese Shoegaze soon, I have a whole back catalog I'm very excited to get to.
