Mon/Fri: Whoops!

Yeah I forgot to be better about doing these.

There's a lot of things I've been taught by hockey coaches over the years, a lot of it not worth remembering. Still, one specific phrase sticks in my mind, even if I can't remember which particular coach said it: "excuses are not explanations, but explanations are not excuses." Mon/Fri was meant to be my way of being accountable to a Patreon and I fell asleep at the switch there.

It's because I was in therapy. That's the explanation. Monday became therapy day, and it became the thing I focused on that day. So now that's done and I realize, "shit, I used to do something else on this day, something I've forgotten to do in a while!"

So, laying it down here: the script for the next Cinematic Quarantine is underway, and it's on the absolutely insane Sonny Chiba-starring martial arts/crime thriller grindhouse spectacular, The Street Fighter. If you want to know how intense this movie is, it's the first ever film to cut to an x-ray of a broken skull after a dude gets punched in the head, so you absolutely know that motherfucker is dead.

Speaking of people getting punched in the head, I have an extremely strong idea for Narratives of Disaster 3, which is a demonstration of how a disaster can sometimes be utterly spectacular, yet localized only to one person; everyone else looking on is happy and cheering. In this case, it's the story of a MAGAchud MMA fighter who slobbered on his trash talk, got eyerolled at by ring girls, and then got beat half to death in just under 15 minutes before a referee saved his life by declaring him the loser. And then from there, shit gets really embarrassing for him. Stay tuned.
