Scrolling through looking at desk setup photos is one of my guilty pleasures. As much as I like the idea of having a cozy desk setup I find myself doing most of my computing these days away from home. When I am at home all I want to do is lay in bed and watch YouTube.

Her post here is not a full tour of her setup, but I wanted to note she has Chill Pulse setup on one of her screens.

Every so often a movie comes along and I sit down and find a way to watch it. This was the case for Perfect Days (trailer). For a variety of reasons I have a hard time sitting down and picking out a movie to watch. Likewise I don’t enjoy writing movie reviews, it reminds me too much of writing book reports in school. But I found this movie not by stumbling upon it randomly but recommended to me by a blog post on TYWKIWDBI.

Released in 2023, it was directed by Wim Wenders and stars Kôji Yakusho, who plays Hirayama who cleans toilets in Japan. Not much happens in the film, we see him wake up and go to work and listen to tape cassettes. He lives alone. We see a few encounters outside of his otherwise ordinary life but the movie is about someone who is, well, rather normal. Being set in Japan, we get to see what living in Japan is like. This might seem again boring, but also fascinating. Not every movie we watch need be so exciting.

Released in 2013, this music video from the band TUMMY was filmed at Werewolf Vacation located in the U-District. Lolli who lived at Werewolf has gone on to play in Mommy Long Legs, Hell Baby, and currently SUX.

Thanks to Leah Miller (as Mama Werewolf), Ed Brown (as Skoal Bandit/ Wizardy Tube Master), Michael Heck (as Ouija Bro Man 2.0/ Aunt Ja-murda), Jimmy Burner (as himself/ Boa Cuntstrictor), Karsten Forester (as Mambro Number 5/ Captain Skull Head), pizza guy (as Pizza Guy).

I walked across the World’s Longest Floating Bridge… turns into a 7-hour journey by @MissMinaOh

Another long walk in the Seattle Area. She started from the 520 Bridge View Park and walked all the way to downtown Seattle. I like videos where people go on long adventure for no particular reason.
