Big shout-out to the legendary Coop for being so disgustingly talented. Loved the custom postcard and sketches. Take a bow, sir.

to be clear, Pedro Pascal & I were at OCHSA at the same time (in fact I don't even think we appear in the same yearbook - I skipped photos my 2nd year) and I, for sure, don't know him. I just think it's poetic that 2 dreamers began their journey at the same place to then end up on the same project.

It’s crazy how music genres are not uniformly named at all. Every one chose different theming. Blues - a colour Rock - a thing Soul - a part of the human spirit Pop - a noise Folk - a collective noun Jazz - a jackrabbit New wave - a surfer’s delight House - a building Ska - just made up a word

Made the mistake of re-watching the anime adaptation of NANA and actually finishing it this time. Naturally, I had to pick up all the volumes of the manga as an early birthday gift to myself. Pretty sure I’m not emotionally ready to find out where the story goes after the anime.
