Happy Holidays!
I really got into the spirit of Christmas, so i decided to write this song. a small amount of it is plagiarized from James Joyce, which would explain all the references to Dublin.
It’s not exactly appropriate and some people will not find it funny. Use your own discretion.
I’m going to try and predict this year’s Oscar winners. I have not seen most of these films. It’s purely based on how much hype they have received. Here we go… :)

I’m going to try and make this a monthly feature. I’ll list the movies that I saw in the past month and try to summarize them with 20 words or less.
I have a confession. I am a cinephile. I love movies. I love watching them. I love talking about them. I love everything there is that has anything to do with them. Living the life of a cinephile, I started off by watching large budget Hollywood movies, moved onto classics, and then developed a specific taste for certain genres and subject matters, and all of a sudden, I have an opinion about what I watch. Eventually, I would like to make something of my own, because after all, in the words of a wise French man, more or less, the greatest form of criticism is to make a film yourself.
A new work from August Soft - who brought us yoake mae yori ruri iro na - so hopefully we can see more great art over the next few months from them.
It was vaguely entertaining using photoshop to do the image cleaning, and gave me a whole new appreciation for the work people do towards such tedious endeavors as text removal and image reconstruction.
While I was filling out some information on Facebook, I came across the favorites section, and naturally, they have a section where I get to list my favorite movies. Neat! right? Well, it turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. There is just an abundance of great movies out there and leaving any of them out would somehow imply that they’re any worse than the ones who made it on the list. If I am going to show my appreciation of all these films, I need more space than the tiny box on Facebook. I need some place where I can write whatever I am with no restriction. If only I had… like a blog… or something.
