Viceroy of Verbosty & Generalissimo of Garrulousness

Pro-pun, anti-Plantar-fasciitis, pronoun non-specific, living on the edge... of Portland.

Started in on Die Kaiserin, almost exclusively because I watched Devrim Lignau in a vampire-free adaptation of Carmilla (interesting concept, could've been done better) and recognized her as I was scrolling through Netflix options. She plays the title role in & is the best part of both.

A few sites, including talkingpointsmemo, said it was a Salami sandwich, which I remembered because of Katz's

My copy of book 3 in @amychu.bsky.social & @sooleedraws.bsky.social's Carmilla trilogy arrived today. I wanted to read all three in succession.

This one jumps forward from the 90s to now, with the main shifting to the daughter of Athena (the earlier main)

In Canada, today is the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation, with a particular focus on the Residential School system. The US could use its own.

Finally a nice rainy fall Portland day. A perfect time to take the kids on a walk to the witch's house. #FMLComix

if this was a poster for one show I might be interested, but it's just a coincidental two

According to talkingpointsmemo.com the sandwich that the sandwich guy threw was a salami sandwich, so naturally my mind turned to Katz's delicatessen.

According to an e-mail I just got from @crunchyroll.com, I watched the equivalent of nearly a year and a half straight of anime this spring. Even taking into account the fact that it's not just me, but also my kids, I think the number is a bit off.

beyond disappointed to learn that the Monster High line of dolls that includes Chainsaw Slasher Abbie Bominable is exclusive to Target.

Our streamer for now is Netflix, which means I get to watch Giri/Haji again. Five stars for @joebarton.bsky.social's erudite dialog

Just returned from the Tulip Farm. There were no land-sharks sighted, neither in the flowers nor at the concessions. (image from It's Jeff by @kellythompson.bsky.social & @gurihiru.bsky.social )

I don't mean to be vague-bleating, I'm talking about this moment from the new Daredevil. The clunky phrasing of "state supreme court" is also less than helpful for suspension of disbelief.
