So this weekend I engaged my inner nerd and saw two old movies that were being re-released in theaters.

As an aside, I am 100% in favor of movie theaters showing older films. Whether it's the 30th anniversary of a film's release, or a celebration of an actor/actress, or just the showing of a legendary classic, it's a great opportunity. Capitalize on nostalgia, but also, some people have only ever seen these movies on a television, and to get a big screen experience can be totally different.

Anyway, let's get to it.

( Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan )

( Akira )

After eons of silence and shadow, I have returned to one of my old journal staples: Movie Reviews. And what better way to break an age of absence than with one of the most epic tales of all time...

The Odyssey

( Sing, O Muse, of the days when movie reviews were much more common, and where spoiler warnings came true... )

So, this past weekend I went to a wedding.

( So many stories start out this way. )

Today I went to a funeral.

( This will not be uplifting, so skip to the end where there will be bunnies. )

As discussed, please find herewith bunnies.

As mentioned not too long ago, I have three skills.

That's right, cooking was not one of them. However, this story is about one of my skills that does exist, much to everyone's surprise.

( I am both overqualified and underqualified at times. )

Did I teach a class on Tuesday? Yes.

Did I accidentally hit myself on the bridge of the nose with my own weapons? Also Yes.

Did I continue teaching class even though I could feel blood streaming down the side of my nose and soaking into my mask while my students gazed in horror, unable to stop me? Also Also Yes.

Am I an unstoppable madman? Regrettably, also also also yes.

Sure, everyone might be a bit surprised by yesterday's storytime, but you're all thinking "Oh come on, he does this every year, posts a thing and then disappears for a year. Yawn, boooooring." And that's fair. But this time it's different.

And sure, you're thinking "Hahaha yeah, you said that last year and the year before that and here we are," and that's fair too, I totally did.

But let's say that I've had some mental breakthroughs (and perhaps breakdowns) this past year, and I'm trying to get around to being a better version of me. That's maybe not totally accurate, but we'll run with it for now. So, let's recap, me in a nutshell.

Hurr hurr, I said 'nut'.

That's it. That's me, right there, making jokes like a 12 year old. You literally do not need to know anything else because that's probably 95% of my personality.⁷ But, if you really must know more...
