  watched this with my good friend and her little sister—no clue why the sister came along. realized that one biblical quote used in the film (corinthians 13) was also in prev entry, ghost in the shell!

  i randomly remembered this series, which i first read in like second grade. i'm revisiting it to have something to do on the bus when my library holds aren't ready, and also to check if there was weird orientalist stuff in them like i vaguely recalled.

  i started reading this and thought that it was going to be lame and cliche, but then it got a lot better. good twists, if a little sappy.

  i downloaded a cli gopher browser (phetch), and this essay was linked on the new tab page. i didn't realize how long it was because phetch doesn't have a scrollbar visual, so i ended up spending two hours reading instead of doing homework lmao. it was time well spent though!

  read for english class. it's decent, but the prose is a little too purple for my taste. somewhat soured by my english teacher making us write an essay on it while we as a class haven't even finished reading...

  such an engaging, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat story. the soundtrack was also amazing. my viewing was marred by streaming buffering and unsuccessful torrent searches...people are kind of homophobic on rutracker.

  i was doing volunteer work at the local cinemateque for this, and i had to deal w/ the booth mixing up the dcps and playing spanish subtitles. but a very good movie nonetheless. absolutely gorgeous final sequence.

  oh thank god it's over. kishimoto living up to his misogyny w/ the whole original sin thing in kaguya. but we got some good fucking yaoi in the last few chapters! ch 700 doesn't exist btw it's so ooc

• 13/04/25 - to see the next part of the dream

  this album has been in the periphery of my mind for a while, as it's suggested on the bandcamp page for 'come in'. i never really listened to it for whatever reason, but after seeing lily chou-chou a few days ago and recognizing the album cover, i decided to give it a try. good move!
