Who nose
This looks to be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

It was a pretty good take on a character that's never had much of a purpose beyond being a silver age marketing ploy. Wonder if the flick will be good too?

New Nose Update;

One nostril cleared out about 30 minutes ago. The other is gurgling so I assume it's getting ready to clear.

Sadly, the splints and stitches make blowing my nose impossible so I'm still reliant on gravity.

Maybe soon?

My Top Ten Desert Island Albums 2025e.

8. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy

You always remember your first loves the best and this record arrived in my life at the exact right time. I see it as my generation's version of punk rock.

Life changing rebel music.

I know folks mostly only remember the sexy tool ladies music video, but you know what? I think Benny Benassi's Satisfaction a banger on its own merits.

It took a little time but YouTube is starting to send me videos of weird babymen losing their shit over the new Star Trek Academy show. I'll have to do a recommendations cleanse.

New Nose Day 4

Light still burns us, it does.

The bleeding has been replaced with a slow trickle of blood tinged snot and occasional clot. I can feel both nostrils slowly clear out because they gurgle now.

My nose is swollen up to look like Captain Haddock's and I want to keep it.

A joke, but 100% correct about what will happen with these predatory uses of grief.

My Top Ten Deserted Island Albums 2025e.

9. The Last Thing Left - Say Sue Me

It's not really shoegaze. There's plenty of introspective lyrics, sure but there are plenty of boppy guitar grooves to go along with it. It's never a boring record even when it's making you remember things.

My Top Ten Deserted Island Albums 2025e.

10. The Wall - Pink Floyd

We used to call this the suicide album when I was a kid. If the island had no food or water and my music player was dying? I'd need an outro.

Real talk tho: It's great. Overplayed for 50 years, but great.

New Nose Day 2-

The splints holding everything open are a misery and I can't wait for them to be removed next week. They trigger painful sneezing and my eyes are watering non stop.

Blood clotting meds are a godsend. I've mostly stopped gushing blood like I was in an anime whenever I move.

Anyway, discharged to go bleed on my own pillows.

Still skimming the Samsung NX500 #photography folders.

We all love a sunset, eh? What about a sunset through a dirty train window of skyscraper apartments slowly overtaking farmland? My regret was not getting more of the cranes.

Skimming through the #photography files.

I miss that Samsung 500NX. Versatile as hell. But Samsung decided there was more cash in phones and they abandoned all support. When its brain started going, that was the end. Sold it for parts.

The pic on the right is also in colour.

And now: PERSONAL SHIT

Tomorrow is the reschedule of my cancelled nasal reconstruction.

A snow storm is also coming tomorrow but the weatherman isn't sure how deep Halifax will be. Hopefully there wont be another cancellation.

I don't want to have to take things into my own hands.

In summary:

I only had to deal with maybe 10% of the hassle and cost immigrants and refugees do and I hated every second of it.

If you think they're having an easier time of it than you are, you need to shut the fuck up and sit down you fucking pissant.
5/2

I can barely remember Japan because of the years long gap between applications.

IIRC I had to get documents from City Hall proving residence and that I was paying my bills. If you know Japan's bureaucracy it was paperwork upon paperwork upon paperwork.

The pee cup was less of an ordeal.

4/2

The tests were at the local hospital. Two tubes of blood and a cup of pee. The pee cup you filled up to a certain line. Heaven help you if you miss.

Then you brought the results with you to Korean immigration.

IIRC Covid ended that if you stayed in Korea. They had bigger worries then.
Additional:

Needing to get a drug test and an HIV test was nothing more than pandering to the racist crowd. The only reason for the test was "is foreign".

That HIV was actually brought into Korea by Korean men back from company-run SE Asian sex tours meant nothing.

1/2

I was only ever a guest worker.

I loved Japan's work visa because I only had to go once every few years.

In Korea it was a yearly pain of ever-shifting requirements and long waits at the immigration office where old men would push ahead of you anyway.
Anyone who thinks immigrating is easy has never been through the system. Even under the best circumstances, it's a confusing, lengthy process that often requires expensive legal advice.

This is unconscionable. Shame.
