Saw Nobuhiku Obayashi's 1986 His Motorbike, Her Island at @trylon.org and it was a goofy delight. The lead reminded me of John Cusack, from another cute funny romance, Better Off Dead, released in 1985. This would be a fun double feature.

Hey, #LetterboxdFriday is here, so my #LastFourWatched were His Motorbike, Her Island, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, The Might of the Juggler, and House.

Here's some of what the sharks and I've got for #FridayReads Mourning a Breast by XiXi with #NYRBwomen25 Four Thousand Weeks by @oliverburkeman.com and Bleak House w #APSTogether it's a good reading week!

Still trying to catch up in XiXi's Mourning a Breast. I loved the chapter on friends and the crab party celebrations! I was much less enthralled with "Counterattack," and its depersonalized info dump. Her personal particulars are so good! #NYRBWomen25

A moody, brooding male cardinal and a bunch of intrusive contortionist squirrels. #Birds

I'm quite behind on Mourning a Breast by Xi Xi with #NYRBwomen25, but it's really a fun read, playful and clever. I admired how she mentioned in the preface finding a lump. But then writes all the way around that lump.on the first chapter, not mentioning it again there.

This lil cardinal dude was posing all over the place! #Birds

I got some suet to try and attract more #Birds, and while I haven't seen woodpeckers at the Bird Buddy, I did see two today on my walks, a downy and a red headed woodpecker! Sorry for the low quality and pixelation but I didn't want to scare them off!

This is genius and I am stealing this.
I’ve wanted to brag about my Christmas gift last year and here’s my chance.

I got the whole family matching magazine subs! Adults got Southern Cultures, OA, Bitter Southerner, The Sun, & New Yorker. Kid got Lux, Oyla, and later we added The Onion.

We always have stuff to talk about!
I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you.

This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.

Cute: finch and chickadee. Terrifying: up-close cardinal and greedy, prosperous-looking squirrel. # Birds.

Was wondering last night why they didn't put sharks in the Lego aquarium.
spotted a flying blåhaj at a new aquarium in Berlin — under construction rn

Madame Cardinal, looking beautiful in the sun, then giving the Elmo glare, which I will never not find funny. #Birds

Look at this cute fellow! #Birds

One of these things is not like the others. One of these birds is NOT a house finch, no matter what the Bird Buddy feeder says. (I think #2 is a junco.) #Birds

1. Cute lil chickadee. 2. This male cardinal is saying "Nyar!" Can't you just hear it? 3. Look at this jerk. He knows what he's doing is wrong. #Birds
