When I feel kind of weird and sad, I whisper songs in Spanish to myself. The thing is, I only really know one song in Spanish besides the usual karaoke…

    Cat is Growing, or, Growing a Cat

    January 25, 2016 /

    Mina renamed it. Cat is now known as Donut, although it still doesn’t listen to a goddamn word I say. This is why I like dogs. I generally don’t really care for cats, but they seem to be attracted to anywhere I move in the world, leaving litters of kittens on my every doorstep, and never listening to a goddamn word I say. Dammit.

    Minor Lamentations – Kujira Crown

    January 16, 2016 /

    The Crown needs to be stripped, patched, and repainted. The last time it was done, it was done poorly. I’m thinking about using a shop just around the way, so I can go watch over the work every day. Just need to save up some money now.. I’m sure I’ll have enough in a few years. Until then? An experimental mix of vinyl wrap patch, black ink markers, and spray paint. The Kujira Crown was apparently made in an era when Japanese steel wasn’t that great – so they made it thicker. There aren’t that many holes rusted through, except at the edges. It does need to be patched properly, though.

    Star Wars Magic

    December 19, 2015 /

    It’s one in the morning and we all just got back from seeing Star Wars, in English, three minutes from our house in Sarakham. That was pretty special. Overall, I liked it, and Max did, too. It was a little bit loud and scary for Mina (she’s only six). A couple of notes: I didn’t like the opening shot (it looked like crappy cgi) It felt very Lord of the Rings-ish at times I appreciated some of the atmospheres and small details like screen wipes that evoked the crudeness of the original The girls were disappointed that Kylo wasn’t handsome Fuck, I’m old. Star Wars got its mojo back
