This record is beyond fantastic. Order HERE. I'll have more to say about this later. Right now I'm prepping to get up and drive to Chicago tomorrow for a second Thanksgiving on Saturday.
Watch:
Rounding out Noirvember with a rewatch of the entire Cowboy Bebop original series. Doing this always makes me wish there was more than there is, but it also really underlines how the limited run and the longing it creates when it's over really help make this show immortal.
It will spill over into December, but that's no problem. I love the place this takes me in my head. I always love taking it back to the first episode, where it's just Spike and Jet, and then rolling through in order, watching how things build, and the other characters filter in. Such chemistry, and the music. Oh, the music!

Cut through the bullshit by paying attention, applying yourself, and not being misled by dodgy thinking. Don't blame others for B.S. Seek the truth - it's not always nice looking, but it is always the better alternative.
Yeah, I know that sounds like an elaborate fortune cookie at a stoner-owned and operated Thai place, but I just don't have a lot in me at the moment. I can feel that this is directly referencing elements of my life, but it's hard to completely lay it all out at the moment. As ever, I'll carry it with me and try to apply in the day-to-day.
