August

Ended the month in Japan on a great trip with Escape Collective. My legs are a bit tired after 10 days of riding, but I’m quite happy with how it went. 750ish km ridden and over 11k meters climbed on the bike between Tokyo and Karuizawa, with a stop in Takayama for the summit. I’ll be glad to be home with Snorri again, but despite the blazing heat, this was an all-time great trip. My collarbone barely hurt on the trip, which is a relief.

Books

Slow Gods

Major Architect series vibes, but also a cool and interesting take on autism and neurodiversity.

Movies

Crazy Family

Normal suburban stuff

Baby Assassins

Too anime for me

After Hours

Make SOHO weird and gay again

Alice

The Village but it’s slave labor and revenge

End of Oak St

The Amblin-like fake out was worth all the payoff

The Invite

We saw you across the bar and think you should get a divorce

Jackass: Best and Last

Kinda sweet despite it being absolutely unhinged.

Tony

I still think we should ban biopics for fifty years but this was hoot. I like seeing Antonio Banderas playing a chill guy.

Last House

The survival bits were ok but Wagner and Greta deserve better.
Being trapped in a house with children who may eventually be teens is a nightmare.
