Two words: Hurdy. Gurdy. I first heard this instrument while playing Sea of Thieves on Xbox. It's basically a rotary violin. This guy is playing in all sorts of ways that it wasn't designed for, though. Thought it was neat that someone picked up such an old instrument and did something new with it.

Tried to focus on the cinematics & choreo of the first boss fight.

Here's my old Blastoise hat from when I was a kid. Doesn't fit my big dumb head anymore, but I'm holding onto it.

FF7 - Demon's Gate. There is a save point going into the fight. If you don't know what you're walking into, you save without a thought, because why would it be a problem? I'll tell you why. This boss fight is very, very hard (impossible?) if you're under-leveled at this part of the game. So what's the issue with the save point? Well, if you're not a high enough level, and you die, you go back to that save point going into the fight...to fight the same boss that you can't beat. There is no, "Oh, I guess I should go grind and level up, or get better equipment." No, you're stuck there. I fought SO many times before finally admitting to myself that I was going to have to start my entire game over. You'd better believe I was ready for the fight the second time around, and still saved on a different slot just in case.

I took this in Japan. I was wandering a trail through an old shrine, and saw this spider spinning its web on an electrical post.

Kpop music videos are incredible. I love the imagery in this one. There are several shots that are striking. The vacuuming the grass, the lip ring and earring looped together. In the latter part of the song, I love the shot circling back and forth between Lisa and Rosalia. Idk how they got that effect with their dresses flowing back and forth in that section. I could've listed several kpop videos from last year, but this is one of my favorites for sure.
