Majo-rity Rules.

This wasn't on my watch list, just came across it by accident. I watched the first episode and now you can too.

A cute little show. VERY Disney and is certainly riding on the coattails of Wednesday, though it was still catchy enough to hook me for at least a few more episodes. Nice to see Tiffani Thiesson back in the limelight.

I don't know if this figure (emphasis on figure) is a witch, for I don't know much about OverLord. Still, a welcome addition to my repertoire.

 

 

 

I popped over to the supermarket and surreptitiously snapped some photos in the candy aisle. Here are a couple of items I didn't purchase but have a witchy presence.

 

This cat remained in the UFO Catcher bin, I shan't attempt a prize for 200 yen no matter how cool it is.

 

 

From my handy monster book, there is a 魔女 (Majo) present. Rather stereotypical, they even refer to her as a wrinkled old woman.

 

 

  

 

 

  

 

Let's rummage through the Countdown to Halloween bloggers, surely one of them will have a witch's brew. Perhaps Beyond the Haunt will conjure up something you like.

 

ps. my toe is healing well though it has lost some of its lustre.

 

 

SAdako SAturday!

I'm feeling a little SAd right now because I dropped my phone and shmucked my toe in the process. Initially painful, it is much better now, but isn't it a lovely shade of purple?

Really looks worse than it feels, yet I didn't feel like trekking downtown to the Gyoza Festival today. (Maybe tomorrow.)

So I've been moping around with a plan of watching at least two Ringu movies and I barely have time to watch the first one. 

 

Why revisit Sadako, you may ask. Why not, besides I scored this excellent figure at UFO Catcher a few weeks back. Even the Box she comes in is impressive, one side looks like a videotape.

 

 

 

 

Here she is, dirty fingernails and everything.

 

She tends to get a little frisky!

Ah, she's a little angel.

Speaking of which, I did get a chance to watch Constantine: City of Angels today, it was in French so I had to pay attention to the subtitles. Hmm. Maybe I'll watch the Keanu Reeves one tomorrow, it's been a while.

 

My monster book doesn't have too many females in it. Here's a gal that does not like to be insulted and helps you to remain hydrated.

 

For no particular reason, orange you glad today's snack is KitKats.

If you have some time, head over to Spooky Little Halloween and click around, you may find something you like. I should be in chipperer more chipper spirits tomorrow.
ps. Before bed last night, I watched Practical Magic. Didn't like it initially, too RomCommy for me, but once it got darker, I enjoyed it a lot more. Now, time for Ringu!

 

Meowzilla!

On this day 3 years ago, I did a post on cats, so I'll do so again. While everyone in America was overjoyed to get Godzilla mashed up with Sanrio characters (a friend picked up a couple for me, I just don't know which ones yet), we here in Japan got some Cats mashed with Godzilla!

 Oops, my mistake. These cats are mashed with Ultraman.

THESE are the cats mashed with Godzilla: 

ゴジにゃ (Goji-nya: nya is the Japanese equivalent of meow) is a set that consists of the following:

Mecha-Gojinya.
 

Fire Gojinya.

Millennium Gojinya.

Mosunya.

Speaking of cats, I saw these at the UFO Catcher but didn't try to win one. (Short of cash AND short of space to store them.)

Here are a couple of Guardian Felines. (Not sure where I put them nor why the photo seems wonky.) 

 

This is a forthcoming movie that I haven't seen any preview for yet, but it promises to be a Purrfectly fine Pixar film.

These Sanrio figures are very creepy. (I hate it when cats stand on their hind legs.)

 

How about some Yokai Watch cats? 

Today's Creatures from my book of Monsters includes a couple of feline felons.

 

I like how Google translates マンティコア as Manticola. Head of a man, body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion is the traditional version. Originally Persian, also adopted by Egyptians and Greeks.

I suspect the feature: "They absolutely love humans" is in the culinary sense, not the romantic one.

Here is Marvel Comics version.

Another feline-based creature is Toukotsu a ferocious Chinese beast.

  

Here is a slightly cuter version. 

The Treat part of today's Trick or Treat are these yummy brownies.

 

Today's movie will be Practical Magic which I have NEVER seen but want to view before the sequel comes here. It involves witches so I can only imagine it includes a cat as a familiar.
