'Black Panther' was simply amazing. The heroes are heroic (with the female leads stealing the show), the antagonists aren't just bad, for the most part you can see how their views conflict with T'challa, so better than most bad guys in comic movies. Lots of good fight scenes, lots of great one liners and character interaction. Plus, the depiction of Wakanda is just amazing. One foot in traditional cultures, one foot in the future and just plain nifty. My one complaint, I wanted more of a tour of Wakanda vs superfights. But I can hope for special features on the bluray.

Going to the store today took my last bits of ability to cope with humanity. The urge to scream 'Move your ass' at the people ahead of me in check out was almost uncontrollable. Possibly in Koine Greek because life should be interesting like that. (note to self, learn to say 'move your ass' in Koine Greek before going to the airport next week). At home now, doing laundry. Cthulhu bless my gillslits, I'm tired.

Well last night's dreams were weird. From historical churches with ancient cults and exorcism schools (convenient placement there), to fighting against a zombie horde invading random suburbia with one of those magic movie katanas that is more lightsaber than steel in it's ability to remove limbs. I'll take zombies apocalypse and horrors from beyond space time over my usual anxiety dreams.

Last night after 'Black Panther' we stopped by the nearby Half Price Books. I didn't get anything, nothing I couldn't live without, and I have plenty of book shopping plans for the trip to Providence. But I did find, in the rare/nostalgia section, volumes one and two of "The Encyclopaedia of Russian Crime Tattoos." Not something you find in bookstores every day. Almost got them for the oddness factor, I think they were $30 each. (If anyone is interested in them, I can send you the info of the store, I'm sure they'd be willing to ship for a reasonable fee, or I could pick them up and you could pay me back. I'm sure one of my author or game designer friends could make good use of them)

More active dreams

Yet more overly active dreams, at least they were more my style. In one I was helping transfer squid from one tank to another. I'm fairly sure they were Humbolts, as they were as long as I am tall, and red, and unthrilled with being mammal handled. Don't know why, maybe it's a sign I should swap careers from Shoggoth Wrangling to Squid Schelping. The other dream I remember was I was with a bunch of scientists, looking into a desert area that had some kind of Mythos reference. Again odd, but better than stress dreams.

Going to head up to hang out with friends this afternoon. Tomorrow is going to see 'Crimson Peak', and Sunday is the usual. Then it's another week. Blargh. On the plus side, I'm really enjoying 'The Madness of Cthulhu: Vol 2'. I may not always agree with Joshi's opinions, but boy can he pick some good stories.

Ok, time to eat lunch, and head out to visit friends. Catch you all later.
