“Nausicaa” Austin, 2024

I went to the theater with a friend to watch Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and it was fantastic! Having only seen this Studio Ghibli classic on a small screen before, experiencing it on a big screen was truly amazing. The visuals and story were captivating, and the soundtrack was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and now I’m learning the main theme song on the ukulele.

“Evangelion Screening” Austin, 2023

This evening I went to see Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time with my friend. I have never seen any of the Evangelion movies or anime, so I had no idea what was going on. But I did hear from friends that no one actually knows what’s going on in Evangelion. 😂

The movie was pretty amazing, nonetheless. I do admit to falling asleep a few times (I only got 30 minutes of sleep last night), but luckily the movies are all available on Amazon Prime so I can rewatch the bits I missed (and also catch up on the previous movies).

A Favorite Watch

“Seiko 5” Cedar Park, 2023

I wore my Seiko 5 watch today for the first time in a long time. I still love this small automatic watch, even if it is a little fast (adding about 30 seconds a day). The design is simple and classic, and it doesn’t weigh much so I hardly feel it. I’ll probably keep this and my Seiko 007 forever. BIFL!
