Day 14 of my Horror Movie Retrospective delivered Japanese body horror realness with Exte! This movie was gloriously weird, and I will be side-eyeing hair extensions forever and ever amen. If you're a fan of J-horror, you gotta check it out!

I didn't get a chance to watch a film yesterday, so today was a double feature, baby! I watched 2005's The Dark and 2006's Severance.

I wrote a few paragraphs today that were both beautiful to read and also made me want to gag, and I'm gonna call that a win.

BRAVE NEW WEIRD, VOL. 3 (pub. by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social)

BNW V.3 is: a story that repeatedly tells you what it is not; trafficking your own organs to prove that you’re human; finding love in the backrooms; wikipedia editors bickering over apocalyptic semantics; sunflakes & the myth of snow—

My horror movie retrospective continues! 2004 gave us Three...Extremes, an anthology series with works directed by Fruit Chan, Park Chan-wook, and Takashi Miike! Check this out if you want something that'll make you uncomfortable...and uh, maybe don't eat while watching this one.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Today I put together a package of our poetry releases from the last two years together for @poetshouse.bsky.social where they display newly published poetry. Their library consists of more than 80,000 volumes. These are the books I sent for the 2024-2025 exhibition.

After adulting real hard this morning (going to the optometrist (your girl has healthy optic nerves but astigmatism in *both* eyes now) *and* getting a flu shot), I stopped by Horror Vibes Coffee for a Call of Cthulh-Ube and some chocolate grahams. It's all about balance, baby! 🐙

Day 8 of my Horror Movie Retrospective brought me to 2001 and this wild, action-laced vampire flick, The Breed. The action is absolutely inspired by The Matrix, though not as well-executed. A fun take on vampires, though, and Bai Ling is so hot in this!

This is a friendly reminder that books and reading are metal. 🤘

A story that's taken a long time for me to write is almost done! One final scene - the climax - and then this first draft is complete. It'll need editing, but simply having all the words down will be a relief.

Starting this tonight. 🖤🖤🖤

Yes, I did watch a horror film yesterday! But...I forgot to post it. So, double duty today!

Yesterday, I watched 1999's Stir of Echoes, which I love, and today, I watched 2000's Cut, an Australian slasher starring Molly Ringwald and Kylie Minogue. Very fun!

Today's movie was 1998's The Last Broadcast, and I'm shocked I haven't seen this since I'm a big fan of the found footage genre! I loved the concept and the majority of the film, but that ending was too abrupt for me. I wish it had stuck the landing just a little more.
