Especially if you're an adult who's just lucky to get a sesh in.

   STAR WARS Watched Scoot (on YouTube) go through the Zygerrian slaver arc and the Mando/Lux Bonterri/Bo Katan slaps Ahsoka's ass episode. This arc always annoys me but I think it might be in a good way like when you root for a heel to get their comeuppance. Ahsoka casually force flicking that Zygerrian off the roof remains so satisfying.   PHANTASY STAR III: GENERATIONS OF DOOM Headed back to Divisia then back to Landen then back to Aridia then to Hazatak to rest up. Walked the east side of that river and Wren used his Sub Parts to turn into a sub. He took us to a hidden world within Aridia.

I haven't been pleased with my progress as I feel like I've been stuck in 1918-1920 for forever. The Hardy and Laurel solo shorts weren't doing much for me other than just looking through the lens of the late 1910s. So I think I'm going to play it like real life. If a movie simply looks good or is notable enough then I'll check it out while calling possible audibles here and there along the way.

        TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Songs 1 Bible starting to kind of getting a little spicy: The opening chapter of the Song of Songs, a book of romantic poetry.

      TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 31 Proverbs 31 is the final chapter of the book of Proverbs, primarily consisting of advice passed from a mother to King Lemuel. It divides into two distinct sections: maternal counsel for rulers on justice and leadership, and a famous acrostic poem detailing the ideal character of a wise and valiant woman. NEXT UP : Songs 1  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Squeaks and Squawks (1920) The naming of recent movies around this period in 1920 seem to share the similar naming convention of "Xs and Ys". I also noticed that this film had the scene of a dude stuck in a geyser from a fire hydrant that had another dude use a big pair of scissors to cut him down (from Bungs and Bunglers) as well as a bar scene from Maids and Muslins.

    TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 30 - Proverbs 30 is a unique chapter in the Book of Proverbs composed of the sayings of Agur son of Jakeh, shifting away from the traditional authorship of King Solomon. It is highly regarded for its profound expressions of humility, its famous prayer for contentment, and its distinctive "numerical proverbs" that draw spiritual lessons from nature and human behavior. -  "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion. 9Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God."   I'm right there with you, Agur!

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 27 Today centered on humility, the value of true friendship and practical leadership.  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : "The Villain" (1917) Kind of interesting to see Billy West as Chaplin playing a bad guy right down to tying up the maiden's father to a log and running the log up to get sliced in half by a buzzsaw. Something straight out of old cartoons. There was also a scene of Billy and Babe Hardy as the maiden on a small boat which left me wondering how a camera in 1917 would film such a thing. I imagine it was set up on a nearby boat.   NEXT ENTRY : We're back in 1919 with Laurel in "Do You Love Your Wife?"   DRAGON BALL Z NEXT EPISODE : Welcome Back, Goku  STAR WARS YOUNG JEDI ADVENTURES  Today's episode was : The Caves of Batuu/Finder's Keepers Kai goes into one of those force vision caves on Batuu and has fu...

    TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 26 Don't mess with fool, sluggards and gossips. Also, don't mess with people who piss you off and then say "I was only kidding".  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : "He's In Again" (1918) I said yesterday that Oliver "Babe" Hardy would be back in He's In Again, and he was but in all actuality these are headlined by Billy West who, once again, I find a bit humorous and endearing in his own right but not anywhere near the level of Charlie Chaplin himself. Hardy seems to mostly just be an antagonist in these.   NEXT ENTRY : "The Villain" (1917) with Billy West and Hardy. Going back to 1917 as this movie seemed to be unavailable on YouTube except for an upload that was set to premiere a week or two after it came up on my checklist so I made a note to remind myself to come back and check i out later.

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 25 Solomon’s wisdom offering up advice on humility, relationships, and self-control.  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : "Frauds and Frenzies" (1918) This one was slightly funnier than all of the solo Hardy/solo Laurel shorts I've been watching. Laurel and Larry Semon seemed to have good chemistry as a duo in this one. Shout out to Semon's stunts with the crane.   TOMORROW'S ENTRY : Oliver "Babe" Hardy returns in "He's In Again" (1918)   DRAGON BALL Z NEXT EPISODE : Welcome Back, Goku  STAR WARS YOUNG JEDI ADVENTURES  Today's episode was : Best Friends/Happy Trails, Nubs In Best Friends, the younglings pair off for some race.

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 24 Don't fall in with bad crowds and chow down on some honey. Although I'm wondering if honey was a metaphor for wisdom.  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Bears and Bad Men (1918) I do have a fear of running into a bear anytime I find myself in a wooded area. They rising amount of social media posts of people filming bear sightings in my neighborhood don't help. Homie in this movie spends a good amount of time running from a bear though the film tries to be cute by showing that at the end of the movie all that bear wanted to do was lick the guy's face. I don't think so, pal. I'm sure that was just a taste test. I dug the little effect (using a guy in a bear suit) where a mule kicked the bear who rolled back into the house with the guy (the guy that isn't Laurel).  Also, there was the classic gag of the dude smittenly stroking...

TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : Proverbs 23 More Solomonic wisdom going over self-control, gluttony and parental guidance.  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Huns and Hyphens (1918) I really enjoyed the special effects stunts in this one. There was an Assassin's Creed-esque dive off of a barn roof onto a pile of hay. There was tussle in the middle of the street where the two brawling men narrowly avoid getting flattened by a trolley. Furthermore, there was one of those hanging-precariously-from-high-atop-a-building-roof stunts. My favorite one might've been the one where both men glide down from the building on an umbrella.

It just hit me that much like Billy West is imitating Charlie Chaplin, Hardy is kind of giving me Fatty Arbuckle vibes in these shorts.

TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The freakin' bible Today's entry : Proverbs 21 Solomon’s wisdom continues, focusing on divine sovereignty, inner integrity, work ethic, and social justice. Good folk do things one way, bad folks tend to do things the other way. Some Marlo Stanfield ish.    GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Bright and Early (1918) The plot : The hotel proprietor (Hardy) and his accomplice attempt to rob hotel guests, leading to misunderstandings and a rush to find a minister when the father suspects his daughter has been compromised by the bellhop.
