Very Random Stuff

@bagadew

Sometimes it's nice to look at random stuff.
It’s taken me nine years to make 100 original posts… maybe now I’ll finally make a proper about.

The way my classes this semester look in my calendar is endlessly funny to me. Fuck man I'm sorry, I can't hang out on September 22nd, I'm so busy.

i’m obsessed with the mum from ponyo. driving single lane on a cliff edge? drift those turns in your nissan cube. husband has to work an extra shift? tell him to fuck off in morse code. pet fish turned into a child on your driveway? adopt her. town drowned in a tsunami? leave your 5 year old in charge, he’s the man of the house now

ideal woman to me and i am not kidding

She gives the impression of someone who would survive an apocalypse without particular fuss. Mad Max road warriors? Barbarian Queen in 3 months, tops. Space Imperialism? Leader of the Rebel Alliance in 6 episodes. Zombie Apocalypse? Her leitmotif is heavy metal. Her superpower is Competence. She could walk into Mordor.

Like you gotta understand The Japanese have a particular cultural Mythos around Fishermen And Their Wives and Miyazaki is an old-school Romantic in the sense that he mythologizes Common Folk in all of his works so when I say that the hyper-competent, Wife-of-a-deep-sea-fisherman, Miyazaki-Mom-figure could “walk into Mordor” what I mean is that she is a mountain of iron wrapped in a thin veneer of silk

From a Doylist perspective she is no less powerful than the Mother Of The Sea.

From a Watsonian perspective, she literally outruns a tidal wave, befriends a Goddess, and saves the world from supernatural devastation.

And her name is Lisa, thankyouverymuch
