Krampus
I saw a better representation of the Krampus on an episode of Tales from the Darkside. That episode was scarier and made the Krampus more evil. Throwing wicked, dark elves, fighting snowmen, and monster ginger bread men does not make for a scare. Unfortunately, it didn’t make for a laugh as well.
Krampus wants to be this millennium’s Gremlins — a comedy frightfest. It had a simple premise — be good and believe in Santa or else his sinister cousin, the Krampus will come and bring you to hell. The Krampus is what happens to kids when they shout, cry, pout at Christmas time.
It happens quickly. The Krampus starts coming because the main kid begins to disbelieve in the spirit of Christmas. His parents ignore him. He gets teased for believing in Santa in school. His cousins are white trash hicks who also torment him. This makes for an awful Christmas Eve in which he renounces his belief in Christmas. So enters the Krampus who quickly dispatches the kids family. He fights him off. Then it ends on a terrible note ruining much of the movie.
Maybe in a few years as this gets heavy rotation around Christmas time on Chiller will this make you like it. At the moment, wait for it in a few years.
Bah, humbug!

Link of the Day [12.20.15]
I was lamenting earlier today because I was unable to catch Nogizaka46’s Xmas Live concert. Of course living in the US would make this hard, but their concert was being live streamed in Japan and there are ways to catch it. Luckily, I checked out my favorite bootleg AKB48 video sight and there it is. Now I am watching and I am happy for the day.
Nagashima
Nagashima Seira announced yesterday that she plans to graduate from Nogizak46. There have been plenty of idol graduations during the short period that I have been an idol otaku, but this is one which has saddened me.
Nagashima is my third favorite of the group and the top Under Girl member. I didn’t really pay attention to her until this second video. That laugh and the enjoyment of the roller coaster was what made me her oshi. I was smitten. She’s the group’s leading mood maker in my opinion. I’ll miss that laughter. I’ll cherish her final days with the group.

Need to save this link, because it is awesome and may be gone soon.
White Light LEDs
I like the lens flares so sue me.
Xmas Decosilly
These are silly decorations. Christmas has silly decorations. Decorations are silly. But they brighten up the night. I wish I wasn’t lazy so that I would put up some decorations myself. Not these. These are too silly.
Wreath at the Grave
I can’t help but think of my dad…
I’m sure he would’ve been proud of me…
I’m sure he would also be repeating his last words to me…
I miss him so but more during the holidays for his heartwarming laugh. Like Santa!
