I was scrolling on my phone and suddenly 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea popped up and then while tidying up, I watched it on my phone for the 20,000th time. This sparked in my head that why don't I do a Disney theme today. So sure enough, I recently bought a pamphlet of Maleficent and decided to snap some pics.
I had just finished cropping them when I realized that I had already done this six years ago! So now I don't have anything to blab about. Sure, I have a Sleeping Beauty standee that I found the other day. It's kind of cool.
I also snagged this Fox from Pinocchio. (Figaro?)
Oh, here's a set of ten cards from Onward which is known in Japan under the title 2分の1の魔法 (Nibun no Ichi no Mahō, meaning "One-Half Magic")
And I watched another Webisode of Coven Academy. Cute but slightly dull. Luckily only 12 minutes long.
As for my Monster book, fortunately there's an entry on Elvis Elves.
Sheesh, another busy day and the only viewing I managed was watching the finale of Lanterns. A very impressive finale to a very impressive series. Was the dynamic between John and Hal terrific? Yes. Were the gals in the show also terrific? Also yes. Was it slow at times? Yes. Was there not enough action (in a superheroic vein)? Yes. Did I really like Guy's appearance? Definitely, yes.
Do I want to see more of Sinestro since he didn't really have much to do? Yes. Am I pleased that I found a Funko of him several months ago? Absolutely, yes.
Am I hoping that this series does so well that there'll be a Season 2? That would be a Yes.
Am I pleased that they came out with a series of JLA mini figures that come in their own tiny clear capsule cases? Yes.
Am I glad that one of them is Hal Jordan Green Lantern. Yes.
Is it a happy coincidence that my book of Monsters happens to have a Jack o' Lantern? Yes, it is.
Is this one funky Google translation? Yup.
Is it cool that I instructed my students today to write about their favourite Yokai/Monsters and as a demonstration, I used an old Sendai-based Youkai from a blog entry of a few years back? It certainly is.
Chouchin Kouzou: The Red Lantern Boy (Click the link for details.)
Are you getting sick of me introducing all these entries with a question and an affirmative answer?
Yes? Me too.
Speaking of Yokai, one of the Facebook pages I follow is Yokai Attack and one of the "Top Contributors" (Johannes Battey) has put forward a challenge to people to draw their own Yokai. Day 3 happens to be this anthropomorphized Lantern with a protruding tongue called: Chouchin Obake. I have scammed several of the artists' portrayals and have credited them accordingly. Only one has a noticeable website, the others may have Websites or Instagrams or whatever. You'll have to subscribe to Yokai Attack and dig deeper into their pages.
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.
