what i'm reading:

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

This book is brave enough to ask: what if doing hand stuff could be really tragic?

what i'm listening to:

RADIO STUCK

It's cosmic! It's cosmic! -- David Lynch

RADIO STUCK

An invisible constellation of technical snafus bears amaranthine fruit; the apparent accidentality: vast and ineffable-- as though by the grace of some beneficient universal consciousness. A G-d type beat fr fr.

what i'm watching:

the films of Hisayasu Satô

content warning: rape

Pink films are amazing. They're thin plots sandwiched between interminable sex scenes that are simultaneously gratuitous and chaste. You'll see copious nipples and asses but neither bulge nor camel-toe. It's a genre of perfect double-threats: awful movies with shitty porn. It's made for me.

And, just my luck!: some kind soul on archive.org uploaded a rip of Vinegar Syndrome's Pinku Eiga Collection, a compilation of films by one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Pink", Hisayasu Satō.

Abnormal Ingayaku (1988)

A female "crime hunter", seeking to identify the cameraman behind a snuff film, uses a chance encounter with the steward of an adult video arcade to investigate the porn industry. Will she find the killer cameraman-- or will he find her first?

BokoClimax (1987)

No subtitles so IDK what the FUCK happened, but I was very moved by the wordless 10-minute intro where, after some surreal imagery, a woman gets molested in a seaside dump by someone in a full black leather biker outfit. I liked the landscape and the sensual knife play. Maybe I would like some sensual knife play with a faceless biker guy?

Bondage Ecstasy (1989)

This one's gay! Also not subtitled. I think a fencer at a boarding school starts having fever dreams where school administrators and office salarymen have BDSM sex.

what i'm playing:

what i'm working on

I'm doing Advent of Code for the first time. I keep getting stuck but I'm too insecure about not being a compsci major to read the subreddit for help because they all know how to do math and I don't.

something i liked:

the <marquee> element works on reading mode in Firefox in android??? I found out when looking at the abovementioned nicky flowers RADIO STUCK blog post. That's crazy.

something i hated:

i did some hellraiser shit to callouses on my thumb after fingering drywall for 2 hours and now it's really yeouch.
