カーター・マッケンドリ (he/him) I enjoy that media you hate. Computer nerd. Japan dork. Horror geek. Comic book guy. Sci fi fanboy. Not necessarily in that order. Enthusiast, not connoisseur.

"Reply with a movie you've seen six times that's not too obvious to be interesting, etc"
I'm going to be honest. Six is not a high enough number for this. Neither is ten. That's not that many times. There's a lot of movies I've seen six times that I don't even really like.

It’s Asaka Yui’s birthday, so what are we going to do today? The same thing we do every year: share Yui’s backstory! 🎂
Did you know that Asaka Yui is a stage name and comes from a manga? Her real name is Nishikawa Aki, and if it weren't for a red stereo, she may have never gotten into the entertainment business.

I loved this, for the record
Ok so after 116 days, I have officially made it into the theater without any major spoilers. Everyone should be VERY proud of me.

Up until last week I had the image in my head that 35mm movie film came pre-delimited for some reason. Like there were separate "boxes" on the reel of film for where each frame was supposed to go. This is an idea that does not hold up to even the smallest amount of scrutiny but I never questioned it

There's a pop-up shop at Shibuya Human Trust with a big display of imported VHS tapes and a box of laserdiscs and I am feeling very attacked

Apparently this is called a "phoenix" connector, and I sincerely hope you never have a reason to know that

I've never tried to teach a language in a professional context but from observing it happen a lot I can say anecdotally that one of the big challenges in going from 1 language to 2 is convincing the person that other languages are real and not just someone obfuscating their native language for fun

When I find a torrent with one person seeding it, I like to imagine a Windows XP machine, dimly lit by a failing light bulb. Running 24/7 for 15 years, no utility company dare pin down it's location. But there it is, bleach.avi, long forgotten in an insane asylum basement.

A building maintenance guy is coming into my apartment tomorrow so I need to tidy up enough that I don't get reported as a fire hazard. I admit that YES that is a lot of very dry newspaper next to what COULD be described as exposed wiring, but we're doing important work in here, damn it

Nothing better than walking home through the night after watching a great movie in the cinema. Completely changes the most trivial experience.

This is a much better job of documenting the trip I took this month (in contrast with my attempt, which was just posting the word "hokkaido" with no further context)
thread stopped midway cuz I met my buddy @ca.rter.io up in sapporo— and since we’re too wild and crazy guys, I was too occupied having fun to post. but to catch up — some more pics from hakodate->sapporo. it’s a great ride but I need to do it when the sun isn’t shining in my eyes half the trip.

I think I flew too close to the sun last week and have now officially fallen victim to The Cold™ that is Going Around™

There should be a service where you can just get a stranger to come over for 10 minutes and tell you whether or not your apartment smells weird. Free of judgment, for a modest fee.
