I went to a classic car show today

 Those are clearly classics. I was dumb and didn't take any pictures. Here's a picture of an obvious classic:


Apparently Azteks have been cool for the last 5 years or so. I always thought they were cool. The SAFETY YELLOW is the canonical color.


I went out tonight and saw one!

The Crooked Man by Charles Beaumont (1955)

 The Crooked Man by Charles Beaumont (1955) Bonus:  No, not that one. Summary: In the future, the gays will oppress the straights! Commentary: After the hamfisted "the racial minorities will oppress the Whites!" from last night, I remember the infamous story of the Playboy story about a gay society oppressing straight people. I looked it up, and I'm going to kick off this blog with it. I feel like the fact that it exists is a classic piece of trivia, but the story itself doesn't get a ton of recognition. It's also not really that good, existing only to serve the moral, and even then not doing a great job. It opens with the "men lusting for men" verse from Romans.

I chugged through Gundam Wing last month, but finally got around to Endless Waltz while I was sitting on the couch today.  Gundam Wing is not a good show. The plot doesn't really make sense, it has too many characters (which means they can't really use them effectively), plot armor levels are all over the place, the literal teenagers act less hormonal than the adults... But it's an entertaining  show, because it is fucking insane. The birthday invitation of death only caps off the first episode that includes suicide attempts, space suit kung fu, maniacal laughter, mid air mech ejections... And it doesn't really get any less...

Something Wicked This Way Comes: Chapter 31

 Was thinking about doing something vaguely Halloweeny tonight, and remembered this chapter from Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury: Nothing much else happened, all the rest of that night. That's it. That's the whole chapter! I remember thinking that was so cool the first time I read it. I should reread the whole book one of these days.
