I miss #MTVUnplugged
This is one of my absolute favorite albums to come out of that

Acoustic #TakeOnMe is particularly haunting

Taika Waititi's 2010 film BOY is a low-key offbeat delight well worth a watch, and features another great end credit sequence...

I love when a film ends with a bit of musical fun, especially when it involves the full cast... Here's the finale from 1998's THE IMPOSTORS...

Any favorites of yours come to mind?

I meant to post this yesterday, but this was my favorite #Halloween #costume of all time, back when my nephew was still pre-pubescent and still excited about Halloween. He was obsessed with #EdgarAllanPoe that year for some reason

Yes, I am The Wall in The Cask of Amontillado.

(i stopped traffic)

Me dressed as the Wall in Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado while my then-child nephew was dressed as The Raven. My WLl costume was two whole sheets of red felt with bricks drawn on them, and a speech bubble that says "For the love of God Montresor! #anuba #tagay #huwagPoe", that last one being a Filipino pun on "huwag po" (please don't). I'm also hilding a bottle of red wine with the label taped over. My nephew is dressed all in black, with a cape of feathers fastened to his wrosts and elaborate bird headdress over his head and face, that his mom made.

...and then we switched costumes later on, with the Raven headpiece sitting on my head and The Wall being significantly shorter. My nephew's eyes peering from the missing brick, and his little fingies on the edges of the opening

I still don't like Threads, but the 500 character limit is an advantage

also, certain rectangular-shaped folks post there more

Screenshot of post from my Threads account. Text reads:

istg it's a race between me and our local odd-jobs man Mang Bob as to who gets to take away the soda empties from our recycling bins-- I take them to the local recycling center every other Saturday, if he hasn't nipped off with them first

thing is, I *could* store our empties inside at the back of the kitchen instead of our side yard

but that's hardly sporting, is it

#Halloween morning here but this year's parties were mostly done last weekend

This weekend most people're going out of town as #Undas (All Saint's & All Soul's) is a bigger deal here

Us, however? Our parents' urns are downstairs in the living room so we're cool

now where's that polishing kit

And then maybe #Level42 Staring at the Sun but to this day I still don't know whether I love it for itself or because my eldest sister had this on repeat when I was a child

I'm gonna add #PaulSimon's followup Rhythm of the Saints to this Albums I Loved But Haven't Listened To For A Long Time

And then tack on #TearsForFears Seeds of Love (still the only album where I STILL know the lyrics to every single track by heart)

In the Philippines, we mostly call aunts “tita” and this includes even your parent’s friends. Anyway this is Filipina drag artist Tita Baby. She is your tita now.

Please admire this gorgeous commission @panodtortur.bsky.social did of one of my favorite scenes from @teadragonhoard.bsky.social's Warden Port! Fyi this epic and magical fic could be read any time, but it's particularly nice for spooky season: archiveofourown.org/works/604765...

Cosign on Persuasion. I didn't include it because it kinda cut close to the bone for me, tbh.

And finally, 10. #Gormenghast, by Mervyn Peake. The second book in the Gormenghast Trilogy, and imho its most consequential one. While young Titus Groan is a bit of a drip, you're here for the drama of Steerpike/Fuchsia. The climactic fight to the death in the floodwaters of Gormenghast? HELL YEAH

9. Gaudy Night by #DorothyLSayers. A poison-pen mystery set in an Oxford's women's college, what really got me here is the portrait of Harriet Vane, Novelist, wrestling with the eternal struggle over writing for a living vs writing that pulls at the soul, and Peter Wimsey's cutting the Gordian Knot:

Screenshot of Chapter 15 of Gaudy Night:

‘You would have to abandon the jig-saw kind of story and write a book about human beings for a change.’

‘I’m afraid to try that, Peter. It might go too near the bone.’

‘It might be the wisest thing you could do.’

‘Write it out and get rid of it?’

‘Yes.’

‘I’ll think about that. It would hurt like hell.’

‘What would that matter, if it made a good book?’

She was taken aback, not by what he said, but by his saying it. She had never imagined that he regarded her work very seriously, and she had certainly not expected him to take this ruthless attitude about it. The protective male? He was being about as protective as a can-opener.

So it's NOT the only Star Trek books I've kept over the years, haha
But they haven't been with me as long as Imzadi has
