What.

grave of the fireflies is the only movie to make me really cry. the episode of futurama with fry’s dog, if you know the one, is the only tv show to ever make me cry.

i don’t actually think it’s the scarier or trippier parts of spirited away that make it not the best choice for kids, but it’s its slower pacing. my experience with my kids is that, when they’re little, they roll with whacked out crazy shit like it’s nothing.

kiki’s delivery service is my favorite miyazaki movie, and i’m a grown-ass man.

yeah, i was genuinely taken aback by how much i bristled at these photo’s of the queen at a grocery store.

and he’s so popular. i came across a quote from tom wolfe that’s been kind of like a prayer for me: “...the dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe.”

i’m sure you could walk him through how his numbers don’t add up, but his response would be that math lies and only god tells the truth, via bible, coin toss, or whatever but not math.

yeah, i had to turn it off just before she started talking.

maybe, like, god is stoned and we’re just part of his trip.

the term jazz cigarettes reminded me of this:

if i’m not mistaken, jainism opposes abortion under any circumstance.

plus, with any kind of violence, but particularly when guns are involved, the aggressor has a huge advantage.

that entire situation is laughable and an artifact of a time that is, thankfully, behind us.

the noun-adjective distinction is the opiate of the masses.

when i was a kid, playing my genesis, a friend of mine told me about doom, and this is what i imagined. also, it’s kind of amazing that i can’t think of another first person robotron offhand. maybe that’s just a failure on my part though.

i just want to live to be old enough that people ask me my secret to long life so i can tell them, “you don’t want this.”

“how ‘bout we put these flowers on your lap?”

that first one really reminded me of this:

the third hand isn’t nonexistent, it’s more like omnipresent.

it’d just be nice to be offered is all.
