Real-life locations, or approximations thereof, crop up in a lot of slice-of-life anime (and the manga it’s often adapted from), which is no small part of why the genre appeals to me. #link

Glad to see everyone enjoyed Nick Cave last night. I saw a bat in our garden, which might have also been Nick Cave in fairness #aside

Devil Master's 'Inhabit the Corpse' (s'one mentioned it on ILX) and Tigue's 'Strange Paradise' (via another rabbit hole), both on Bandcamp https://t.co/ew1i4FFHmH #aside

Yeah yeah it’s the Steamed Hams meme but this version wins the prize for Best Thing. Though I will admit it’s given a run for its money by Steamed Hams but it’s the French New Wave. #video

I wouldn’t go by their pronunciation guide (the language can be spoken with considerable difference depending on what part of the country you’re in) but this is a nice appreciation of Irish vocabulary. I wish I spoke Irish, but school ruined that for me, and I have no drive to learn it now. #link

Saw a 50th anniversary screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey last night. ‘Phenomenal’ is the only word for it #aside

April was quiet enough. I enjoyed WrestleMania weekend, even if I wasn’t moved to write much about it. My Twitter thread is here, though you might need the context of the show itself to follow along. As always, the NXT TakeOver show was the highlight.
As I mentioned previously, April saw a few actual trips to the cinema for me, to see Rampage, Lu Over the Wall and The Breadwinner, the last of which is one of my favourite films of the year thus far.
I started upping my rate of movies watched in May, which I’ll elaborate on in a separate post. I’ve also been watching more streaming TV as of late. More…

Would love to watch the live BOSJ show this morning but our broadband’s been down for 20 minutes so I don’t think that’s happening #aside
