Quote of the Day [12.16.22]
“I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel. I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess. And I’m getting presents, and sending Christmas cards, and decorating the trees and all that, but I’m still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.”
Charlie Brown, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

From their 31st single, a unit song with the rappers, Kitagawa and Hayashi. The arrangement to this song is unlike any other in Nogizaka’s catalog. Normally, it’s a through line from member to member.
This one’s set up like a classic R&B, hip-hop song from the 90s. Plus also has a bit of lofi sound to it.
I didn’t think it was written by their old AF producer, but I guess it was. I thought the rapper pair wrote it out and the lyrics to to chorus was added in. I wonder if that’s how this happened?
Anyhow, I think it’s my favorite this year…
Just An End Check In
Yo. I’m still alive here. Maybe writing a few things but this blog is still going. Strong? Not so. Weak? Yeah maybe. Most likely. Well even this post is weak sauce and just words on the blog.
So I am just telling you. I am a bit sad about not writing. Maybe sometime I’ll do something good.
Please, stick around.

One of my favorite programming things is regular expressions. What are regular expressions? Well, they’re patterns mainly used to search text files particular words. It’s a code for how to find a needle in the haystack. My favorite is Perl regular expressions. I like programming in Perl because I like using it for searching for text in a file and processing that text into what I need to do. I hate when your search feature doesn’t use Perl regular expressions. (I am looking at you sed.)
Today’s link is to help you to use regular expressions. I think I have to read this, too.

Sight and Sound’s latest greatest films of all time. Vertigo drops to number 2. Sorry. SPOILER ALERT.
Two Studio Ghiblis. Get Out. Seven Samurai not even in the top 10?
Like a lot of lists there is many things to complain about. I just gave a few here. Go ahead and you do the same.
