Came back to New England and wow, winter is here, and looks like it's staying ❄️

I watched the first Mission Impossible movie on the way back for the first time in probably 20 years. Tom Cruise has excellent chemistry with Vanessa Redgrave. AU where he becomes her gentleman friend/right hand Y/Y?

Gooood morning from Kyoto Station, where we're at starting the long trek home.

There are roughly 120 Shinkansen trains between Osaka and Tokyo (via Kyoto) and I believe today's ride is the second of the day, leaving even before the station shops are open.

I hate that I hear Christmas music everywhere even in non-majority-Christian countries. Too much American and Christian hegemony!

Bummer. Click through for a review of that new Western
"The more time a show spends trying to simplify itself for unengaged viewers, the harder it is for anyone to stay engaged."

I'm SO tired of watching streaming dramas where the main characters just constantly explain the plot to each other.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

The first day of Starbucks strikes in New Hampshire is tomorrow, and they want as much community support on picket lines as possible for the first day.

Kyoto weather prediction 10 days ago: highs in the mid 60s, lows in the mid 40s

In #JapaneseFolklore tsurara onna are #yokai also known as icicle women. When lonely single men gaze at icicles during winter, they admire their beauty and wish for a wife just as beautiful. Soon after, this yokai will appear, presenting as an ordinary woman.

Toji Temple at night. We're past peak for the leaves, but the scene is still pretty special.

Bookmarking to watch because dang
This week, Netflix will drop a western with Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as warring matriarchs of opposing clans. Not a one of the dozens of media writers I follow online has ever mentioned this show, and yet its three-week-old trailer has over 1M views. Make it make sense.

Thread up and down of our last ~18 hours, on an overnight ferry from Busan to Osaka. Most of the journey was in an inside passage so the views were great.

We were some of the few white people on board and impressed our hosts with a knowledge of Korean food
Dinner wraps and it is time for the evening entertainment. Our expectations were low. The show is spectacularly fun. Two guys playing sax and a woman singing.

They're really good. And Uptown Funk rocks.

Engineering finals at Cornell were given 2.5 hours for completion. I generally finished in 45 min-1 hour, glanced over my work for mistakes, but didn't redo everything, and then left. I feel like these were well designed tests because even people who worked slower did not run out of time.

This is not the first time I've encountered this idea and someone (probably not me) definitely needs to write the novel. Gotta make it a fixit fic where Odysseus doesn't go on a murder spree tho
ODYSSEUS: wife I am home after 20 years
PENELOPE: oh shit I mean honey you are home how wonderful
ODYSSEUS: who are all these strange men
PENELOPE: well, I'll tell you what they're definitely not, which is a 300 person polycule ruling in your absence

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Probably going to skip the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee Latte since I had the Creme Brulee Souffle Pancakes and am now vibrating at a frequency only bats can hear
Our last meal in Gyeongju was brunch this morning at a pancake place. Souffles and Dutch Baby option on the menu. We got one of each.

Might have diabetes now.

You might laugh at the bedrooms that are bathtubs. Or the doors installed laying down rather than vertical.

But the multi-tub bathroom thing is real. I've seen it. And you should, too. bsky.app/profile/wand...

Leaving Korea today on an overnight ferry to Osaka.

This may be my last chance to get a Sweet Potato Creme Brulee Latte from Mega Coffee!

(Busan and Seoul are absolutely saturated with coffee shops and Mega Coffee is one the more ubiquitous and down-market brands.)

I read avidly but very often books that are at least 10 years old. So I'd love some more recent recs of authors who aren't getting enough attention! Esp SFF

(Let's assume if they're racking up awards and/or are fandom darlings, I am already aware.)
In 25 years of teaching creative writing, by far and away the two most common traits I've seen among successful writers are that they read avidly and that they support other writers enthusiastically.

Anyone writing fiction set in modern Korea should consider your protagonists bumping into each other on the street while on their phones.

I have nearly run into an alarming number of people who randomly stopped in front of me, even in a crosswalk, to do something on their phone
