Not that skilled in drawing and painting, but very talented in buying art supplies, clay stuff, books, art and film posters. Also somewhat a film junkie.
I'm hungry. Still too sick to nip down to a corner shop and too broke to order a takeaway, but I'm happy that I'm hungry because it means I'm getting better.
(I'll ask a local friend to shop for me in a bit.)

SR: Saitama's Rapper (a.k.a. 8000 Miles) A tragi-comic tale of layabouts wanting to make it as a rap band, but living in a dead-end hometown makes it tough
Zero budget, odd shots, thin plot and none could rap, but earnest, surprisingly funny and depressingly veracious at times.
@cinema_strikes@themunnyshot Yes! lol My dad literally carried me to the car while I screamed, kicked and wailed when I was around 10. My poor siblings were so sick of my annual dramatic act.
Learnt a new fact today. A friend asked if my gran could factcheck his samurai action comic. She's just emailed him a list of historical errors she found in his comic.
One stood out: "He shouldn't be eating a chicken leg. Japan wasn't a nation of meat eaters until the 1950s."
@cinema_strikes@themunnyshot Aw. We also went every year until I locked myself in my bedroom on the day of our flight. Our family home is in Yamagata Prefecture. Not far from Sakata (coastal city).
