geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 06/10/2026Tfw you need to use pliers to pull a zipper and it tears the metal and you get a little well in your finger from the newly torn metal that fills up with blood and makes you frown like ":(" 160
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 06/10/2026Guy I was watching the movie with was like man what else has Eva Green been in? Well, a lot, she's forty-six now. That can't be right, she's gotta be in her mid twenties in this film oh nooo 140
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 06/10/2026There's this point where Bond fucks up in his usual spectacular way so there's a big explosion, and somebody is like wow I gotta take a picture and they pull out a whole ass camera, they probably had to take that film to a CVS to develop it or something 140
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 06/10/2026Watched the 20-year re-release of Casino Royale, and obviously it whipped ass, but there's also these scenes where Bond is using a GPS app on an LCD screen brick phone and boy that jarred me, right up there with when Judi Dench casually implies that SPECTRE was involved in 9/11 140
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 05/10/2026After years of neglect, finally got Kumara the little dog to the Blessing of the Animals for the 800th anniversary of St. Francis' death. She sat extremely patiently through a reading, a psalm, and a general intercession, so, good work Kumara the little dog. 0170

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 03/10/2026"what about the tub of pee" so as far as we could tell it just turns stuff into gold. kind of neat? we thought about the various cautionary tales about turning shit into gold with a touch, and left the tub of pee where it was "so when you say tub of pee" the DM was firm the liquid within was GOLDEN 020
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 03/10/2026"what about the other two mirrors" one of them, Atanah made the charisma save, Ego made the charisma save, Willow failed the charisma save and all her worn metal turned into lead. Other one? An aquarium that tried to pull you in and drown you. 121
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 03/10/2026Another mirror, if you look into it, showed us getting killed in various horrible ways by various vile creatures and it would be very upsetting if we did not recognize all these as creatures we murdered 1) with their friend 2) in the first fight 3) before establishing that it wasn't the impostor 120
geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 03/10/2026We're in a room full of mirrors, and one of the mirrors just looked sort of crappy, basically like jello or something, so Atanah tried to shake it, and the frame fell off, revealing that it was a glory hole for an ochre jelly AND BATTLE WAS JOINED 120

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 03/10/2026a little disappointed that there's not immediately obviously a tank top that says, like, I THOUGHT THIS WAS *CRAB* DAY with a big obnoxious Maryland flag on it, but maybe I should be focusing on more patriotic Virginia ones, like SIC SEMPER TRAPEZIUS 010

geoff @kookaburrasakura.co.nz · 01/10/2026I sought out and listened to "Choosing Texas" and I'm no longer sure that I hadn't previously heard it, because I forgot the tune as soon as I heard it.
