Well, La Di Daa, La Di Daa.

Yesterday, I alluded to the passing of Diane Keaton. Today, I found the movie pamphlet for Annie Hall.

 

Upon reading her IMBD, I learned that she was in the second episode of Night Gallery (the Room with a View segment). Adorable as a nurse to an old guy who takes advantage of her carefree spirit.

 

I should track down Sleeper, a sleeper hit with a futuristic bent. She has starred in innumerable other movies and shows, here is a clip of her singing Seems like Old Times.

Okay enough of that. Back to Halloween. I spent the day sniffling my sniffles and watched both Legend (Tom & Tim) and Lifeforce. 

I also watched a cute little Fraggle-esque Halloween special from over 40 years ago called, The Crown of Bog. And now you can too...

 

AND, I watched some new movie with Dakota Fanning about a mysterious box, Viscious!

 

Lots of jump scares that aren't very scary.

Not much energy to do anything ambitious so I treated myself to a special Thanksgiving dinner! Disney pasta.

 

I'm assuming the green is a spinach-noodle, from Left to Right we have, Pluto, Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Donald, Mickey and Minnie. I couldn't find a green Goofy.

Chop and onion, add some actual spinach and throw in some tomato sauce and you get a bloody Scrooge McDuck!

 Some Raspberry & nuts KitKat for dessert.

I wanted to find an Oni that was red with big horns (similar to Tim Curry as the Devil in Legend) and this one carrying what may be a dead unicorn fits the bill.

 

Kidomaru. (Okay, it's not a unicorn, it's a cow.) 

No UFO Catching or Gatcha grabbing from my living room today, so I'll dig into the archives.

Finally, here's a comic contribution.

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving and Sports Day (Japan)!

Hopefully I'll go out and get some fresh air tomorrow!

Black Friday Eve.

Since today is Thanksgiving in the USA thus tomorrow is Black Friday, I'll pretend that we aren't a day early over here and post a bunch of memes and pics I've scammed from FaceBook and elsewhere.

And some non-Godzilla ones.

Tangentially related to this is this cool Wednesday Thanksgiving Parade float.

A few vintage balloons.

And other stuff I happened to like.

Some birds:

Some friends and family gathering together:

Yum!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. Happy Black Friday! (Here in Japan, it's been BF for about two weeks now and we have another week of Black Friday sales starting today.

It's Stuffy In Here.

I store my winter tires in the corner behind my TV. Then upon that I heap a ton of toys, partly to display them and partly to muffle the sound from my television to my neighbours. Today, I changed my tires and thus had to reshuffle my collection. Here's the result:

All safe and sound, until the next quake, that is. To the left of the Gremlin and Gachapin pillow is a long yellow cylinder stuffed with stuffed Marvel characters.

Next to that, is a chesterfield, though more like a two-seated sofa. Upon that are my various Kaiju and Dinosaurs. Here's a taste:

I've these two for an awful long time. The brother of the one on the left once took a tumble in my toilet after the BIG earthquake of 11/3/11. (That story can be read here). I've scammed a photo from that post.

Here's a handful of various Godzilla. They cost a lot at UFO Catcher but are worth it.

A few newer acquisitions, even more expensive to Catch.

A couple of pillows and friends.

Now we move away from Toho's toys and go to some oddities, such as this relaxing egg and a kid's book Dino.

I wanted to go to the Mangattan Museum in Ishinomaki last Monday or Tuesday but it was closed both days. The author of the above Dino has an event going on there. Someday...

Speaking of Dinosaurs, I have a few of those.

Oops, forgot this one, I'll add him to the Salamander from Frozen 2.

That's about it, apart from a tiny Cthulhu pillow and Migi.

 

Here's the whole bunch of them snuggled up beside each other.

I somehow spent the entire day yesterday doing not so much, including blogging, so here's a double helping of Comic Books.

 When Dark Horse scored the Godzilla franchise, it was a great day for all.

That's about it. I've watched a few movies though all of them have been dubbed so I didn't have to pay too much attention. I did sit & watch Godzilla Raids Again and Godzilla vs. Megalon: the former to listen for George Takei's dubbing prowess and the latter cuz it's so cheesy.

Oops, almost forgot. On the wall next to the couch are a few tiny stragglers hanging around.

I suppose I could wish my American pals "Happy Thanksgiving" though I'll leave it at "Happy Black Friday Eve!"
