Nagashima

broderic on December 18, 2015

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.

Xmas Decosilly

Xmas Decorations

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.

Beer Tree

Xmas Decorations

There’s beer there. There should be beer here.  But, seriously, decorate your tree with beer.  It’s the season for it.

Wreath at the Grave

Wreaths at rest

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!

Door. Wreath. Reflection of the Season?

Wreaths at rest

The wreath is hung on the door. It’s getting to be Christmas. Except the weather’s been mild — not too many cold days and too many warm days. At least it’s December.

I’m too lazy to hang holiday lights. I haven’t put up my miniature Christmas tree since ’08 or ’09. I still do the wreath on the door. And I will play some Christmas Music.

Okay. I think I can play this song. Now I need to find KizuKita cover version.

Xmas Bush

Xmas Bush

Lights go up. It’s almost Christmas time. Breaking out the cash to pay for the presents. Who gets what? Who doesn’t get anything? Those who give. Those who receive. I can’t believe this, I’m ready for snow.

Secret In Their Eyes

broderic on November 30, 2015

Secret In Their Eyes had some of the worst plot twists in the final minutes of the film which ruined the entire experience. Not that it was already good while watching, but these plot twists of which there were two were absolutely unbelievable. I was shaking with anger at the end because of them.

Don’t watch this film expecting a nice tidy ending. Expect the twist. Then pick up your jaw from the ground because the twists ruined everything.

I’m still angry and mystified several weeks later.

2 of 5 stars.
