    Sometimes random Netflix finds are gems. Still remember seeing Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai while scrolling and thinking WTF? And then I watched it and it's not at all what you'd expect. The first two and last two episodes of Violet were less emotional for me, as those were more about setup and series payoff, but every episode in between had actual tears rolling down my cheeks. Now, to watch the movies... ETA: Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't shout out KyoAni's gorgeous animation and Evan Call's excellent work on the score.

    You ever watch a show that makes you want to be a better person?

    That was Violet Evergarden.

      The rest of the music is just as gorgeous, IMO. Great show all around.

    This is your sign to watch Violet Evergarden if you haven’t already. No (non-religious) piece of media has made me cry like this. What the storms.

    Every once in a while I think back to that time I had to leave work early because I was operating on maybe 2 hours of sleep and like 750mg of caffeine. Not a fun time, but I suppose I have bragging rights now?

    Anyways, have some memes:

    "Excuse me, can you mispronounce 'Frome' for me?"

    "Portsmouth."

    "That'll do."

      This shouldn't be that funny.

      The Map Men are very funny men indeed.

    I'm developing an ever-increasing appreciation for Kasane Teto.

    I may be in possession of haunted pocket watch.

    I picked it up yesterday to wind it, after a month or so of it sitting on my shelf, and noticed the second hand was going. Whatever, I must have jostled it and the spring was letting out the last tiny bit of tension. I wound it and left it without setting it because I had somewhere to be. 

    Today I picked it up to set it and noticed that was already set to the correct time, give or take a minute. 

    Y’all, either I’ve just encountered the mother of all coincidences or I need to call a priest.

      It's the pocket watch that saved John Taylor's life.

    So it seems one of my favorite artists, Gareth Emery, will be in town later this year, and now I have to balance by desire to see him live vs. the crowds. If it was an arena or amphitheater it would be a no-brainer, but it's in a small box, which makes the people problem so much worse. (I've actually been to this venue before and didn't hate it, but I don't know what to expect from this audience.)

    Doesn't help that I'm still smarting from passing up the chance to see Porter Robinson a few years ago, especially since it was during his Nurture tour.

  12. Slowswift
    Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm diligently at work, not to worry.
  13. Slowswift
    Why, thank you. Hopefully it won't be *checks notes* two years before the next entry.

    I writ a thing

    Narrator: There was not, in fact, a bounteous harvest. In any case, progress is occurring. Just, not as fast as I'd like. Here's the prologue to my current project (the same one the earlier chapter is from). Presently working on more scenes, now that I have a much stronger idea as to where this is all headed, and I'll probably take a break later to start fleshing out some of the projects I've started but left by the wayside.

    How is it possible to put an entire movie into a blender and still get out something so genuinely moving?

    Lloyd Newell is, if I recall correctly, currently serving as a mission president.
  18. Slowswift
    This. The one point against him, imo, is that he can be a little...ah, blunt? I blame the lawyer training. But it's often just as gratifying as it is grating, when he doesn't take the crap from a clearly bad-faith actor.
  19. Slowswift
    Same. Actually, on this topic, anyone here familiar with the channel Missionary Discussions?
  20. Slowswift
    Oh my. I've seen that one a few times, actually. Maybe not that exact argument--it's usually used as a point in favor of biblical inerrancy. I certainly don't read it that way, but I'm too damnably inarticulate to really explain it.
  21. Slowswift
    That's a new one. The ancient apostles, or the current ones? Yep, that one too. Never mind that it wasn't actually written last. And what plagues? Last I checked, we were doing pretty well. But seriously, I am genuinely baffled that anyone still uses 2 Nephi against us. It tells me immediately that they don't take us remotely seriously and probably got a list of talking points from a book or their pastor. It can lead to a genuine and interesting discussion if they're open to it, but we're not off to a great start.
  22. Slowswift
    Lookin' at you, Galatians 1:8 and 2 Nephi 25:23.

    The pen is a Kaweco Brass Sport inked with J. Herbin Vert Empire, and the background is a Tress-themed deskmat from Howard Lyon. The song is the Pilgrim Song, as sung by the Tabernacle Choir.

      I can't even count the number of times on my mission where I was walking along on top of the world only for the wind to blow the most disgusting smell of weed right in my face.

    So. 

    Project Hail Mary.

    ...

    This movie was literally perfect. The music, the visuals, the acting...why can't we have more of these?

    Some standouts: 

    • As mentioned above, the score was amazing! Memorable and touching.
    • Ryan Gosling.
    • Stratt was actually a human being. In the book--thought it's been a minute, so I could be wrong--I recall her being a (justified?) grade-A piece of work. I thought this performance was a vast improvement.
    • Rocky. Is. Adorable. When the movie was announced, I figured it was a coin toss between nightmare fuel and adorable, so I'm glad it was the one that let me sleep at night!

      Nice!

      I'll probably be watching it next week

      I can't imagine Stratt any other way... I'll have to see how this goes
