Nope? Yup!

Here's a cloud my friend posted.

I said, "It looks sentient." A friend retorts, "nope." He had to clarify later that he was referring to NOPE.



Full disclosure. I have never watched this. After this entry, I plan to watch it tonight. Hopefully I shan't have to revise this post.

Here are some more clouds.







Those were taken before and during the last full moon.

IF you look in the background of these straw creatures, you may see some more clouds.


This lion greets you.


Some decorated foliage.



I do believe there's an art contest. Sadly the students weren't there today and neither was the Godzilla Shrine from last year.


These are new...



These aren't.







These are new though not straw sculptures.



And a few gravestones and crosses.






Hey pumpkins! Just what I was looking for...


Grr. They aren't real. (Insert frowny face.)


Duck!


So dang it, my goal of finding a pumpkin at the Agricultural Center is all for naught. Ah well, let's go get a closer look at that big ape.



 Speaking of big apes, this is the closest Yokai I could get. This guy is a mind reader known as Satori.



At five bucks a pop, I didn't bother buying one of these Skeletal creatures.


Here's a Venomized Miles for your perusal.


 

That's about it for tonight. I'm going to watch NOPE and see if it gets a "Nope" from me.

A fellow blogger worth checking out is AEIOU. See whether he's had a vowel movement.

Meow!

Panic attack! Thought my pc died. I brought it back to life. Crisis averted. But now I don't have time for a lengthy entry.

Today I was a tad hungover, something I haven't been in a Looong time. Mainly because I rarely drink anymore. (I don't drink any less either.) So I leisurely turned on a Twitch feed (DaikaijuTV) and watched Kuroneko, about a Yokai cat spirit. A little dull, though it did have its charms.

I scammed some posters from the net.

 

 

Here's the lead Samurai and his wife (with a secret).


And his mom (with a secret).

Here's a preview:

 

Here's a review:


Is it worth watching again? Maybe in a few years when I'm feeling feline.

Right after that, instead of a Black Cat, we get a White Cat in House!




If you think that last poster is weird, watch this.


Of all the deaths, my favourite is the piano.


Hey, it's a Housecat!


In the movie, she's called Shirou (white); in the subtitles, she's called Blanche (which I suppose has some connection to white.) Definitely worth watching if you need to view a cult classic.

Speaking of cats, I flipped through my Yokai book and came across Nekomata!



Be sure to click on the lower one to read its translation. Or go here. There are some wonderful pieces of Ukiyoe artwork about this pussy. 





Note: Nekomata have two tails or a twisted one.

Don't confuse her with a Bakeneko. 

Here are some cute cat Gatcha capsules that enjoy dressing up as different animals.




I'm spent. So here is a Venomized Spider-Man. I don't have one of Black Cat.


 

More Halloween hijinks tomorrow.
