Ice Chilled Chipping Away

 Got a wisdom tooth removed and had a teeth cleaning.   PRO WRESTLING GAMING WWE 2K26 Very productive persona  card attainment day. The card market prices finally decreased but only a small amount, smaller than in the past. Nevertheless, I was able to snag enough collection set rewards and card market purchases to get Drew McIntyre '10, AJ Styles (Retro) and Kurt Angle '00. I now have no MFP or VC left, not much at least. I prefer those three because they have exclusive theme music and Angle could be a whole ass character on a retro show. This is as opposed to personas like CM Punk (AJ's Husband) and a Liv Morgan from a year or two ago.

      TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible NEXT UP : Ecclesiastes 3 There's a "time for everything" passage reflecting on divine sovereignty over life's fleeting, repetitive cycles. It addresses the tension between orderly divine timing and human struggle, arguing that God sets seasons and ultimate justice, rather than human effort, as the source of meaning.    GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Leaves From Stan's Book: 3rd Section (1921) Before he's taken to the gulags, the Count de Chambord entrusts his servant Joseph to safely escort his wife and daughter, Genevive, to Paris. Once in the city, Joseph crosses paths with Erneste Durand (Satan himself), who introduces him to his political circle. Satan manipulates events to force Joseph into a corner: to save his own life, the young servant must betray his noble masters and abandon his loyalty. Ultimately, Joseph has the opportunity to save Queen...

    TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible NEXT UP : Ecclesiastes 2 The main message of Ecclesiastes 2 is that searching for meaning, satisfaction, or lasting happiness in worldly pursuits (such as pleasure, wealth, accomplishments and even intellectual wisdom) is vanity. It's meaningless, fleeting and a "striving after wind". True joy is not found in the gifts themselves, but is a gift from God to be accepted and enjoyed within a relationship with Him. This is DEFINITELY a passage for me to highlight or bookmark. I needn't worry about chasing the hottest trends or chase whatever is hypebeasted or highly sought-after. I always center on Qui-Gon Jinn's words of "your focus determines your reality" among other Jedi tenets that seem to jive nicely next to this passage's message.   GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : The Kid (1921) I completely forgot that I still hadn't finished Leaves Fr...

STAR WARS THE SAMWALKER SAGA  Kristian Harloff and the homie Sam got to Rogue One after Sam's first time viewing of Andor season one and two which was Sam's introduction to the franchise. Just as Count Dooku predicted, RO (the last bit of it) kicked her heart around like a soccer ball. Now she seems locked in. It was kind of crazy watching the movie along with them. I've rewatched it a bunch of times but on this rewatch my pulse was racing for some reason as if it was my first or second time watching it. I suspect it was the factor of watching it again through Sam's eyes. It was so much fun that I went back and watched Sam's first time journey through the MCU up until Endgame. 

 STAR WARS NEXT UP : The High Republic: Into The Dark: Wookiepedia Plot Summary: Epilogue  Starlight Beacon officially opens up. Since I'm reading this recap after Young Jedi Adventures episodes, I forget that this actually takes place at the same time. Maybe it should've been listed before the Starlight Beacon episode of YJA since the kids visit it after it opens. Nan reports back to Marchion Ro (it sounds like this is kind of his Marvel-esque post-credits scene debut here) and he shoots her homie Hague out of the airlock but forsome reason exonerates her and vows payback on the Jedi. I remember when I first read the book and thinking to myself "how the Hell is this jaybrone going to be a big threat to the Jedi?". Welp, I certainly didn't know about them nameless Shrikarai things. NEXT UP : Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi (Wookiepedia recap since I've already read it once or twice) I believe this was the first HR book. THURSDAY NO MAN'S SK...

Setup the next and final NJPW Destruction 2019 card and knocked out some MyFaction World Tour while watching an InTheClutch live stream at bedtime.

Saw Minions & Monsters with the fiance which is a big deal for us since the minions have long become something akin to mascots of our relationship. I probably made some minor movements in the ol' hobbies but probably nothing majorly notable enough to remember. If I do, I'll come back and input but come on now, dawg. People always say that but never do it and I'm likely no exception.   Edit: LIES!   STAR WARS KRISTIAN HARLOFF INTRODCES HIS LONGTIME RESISTANT FRIEND SAM TO STAR WARS VIA ANDOR One thing I did was I watched the finale of Kristian Harloff introducing his Star Wars-resistant friend, Sam, to the franchise via Andor. They wrapped up the series and Sam is now locked in. (Sidenote: I love the "FLEEDLEDEEDLE" iykyk). I loved her reaction to Bix's baby as well as her looking like she was going to drive a fist through Kristian's wall when the show cut to black for the final credits. She seems locked in for the ride though so here we go. I bet the h...

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible NEXT UP : Ecclesiastes 1 Ecclesiastes 1 highlights that life "under the sun" (meaning human existence apart from God) is ultimate vanity, futility, and a fleeting chase after wind. The chapter argues that despite human efforts, wisdom, and pleasure, all earthly pursuits are repetitive, temporary, and cannot provide lasting satisfaction because everything ends in death. OOF! Oh boy. That is NOT what I wanted to read on a rainy, dreary Monday morning!  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Leaves From Satan's Book (1921)(Part 2) I found it interesting as a Star Wars fan that Satan is referred to as "The Grand Inquisitor". Dude who works in a church is in love with an astrologist's daughter but because of his role he cannot be in romantic love so he puts himself through and whips his own damn self. Satan as The Grand Inquisitor invites him to join the inquisitio...

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : 1 Kings 11 It's Sunday, I cant' skip an entry. I know I'm doing this to see how the bible events are juxtaposed with ancient history but hey, we in here. 1 Kings 11 is about compromise, specifically idolatry fueled by forbidden foreign alliances, leading to the downfall of even the wisest leaders and triggering catastrophic consequences, resulting in the division of the kingdom. Solomon's heart turned from God, leading to his judgment. God apparently told Solomon not to get involved with too much women since they each are going to have different gods that they're going to try to hook you up on. I think it said Solomon had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines? How is that even possible? Naturally, this displeased the deity upstairs who raised adversaries for Big Sol.    GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : N/A   DRAGON BALL Z NEXT EPISODE :...

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : 1 Kings 10 & 2 Chronicles 9 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9 chronicle the legendary peak of King Solomon's reign. Both detail the visit of the Queen of Sheba, Solomon’s staggering wealth, his massive trade networks, and his unparalleled God-given wisdom.  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Around this time in 1921 on January 17, the first recorded public performance of the illusion of sawing a woman in half is given by English stage magician P. T. Selbit at the Finsbury Park Empire variety theatre in London. But then another bummer a few days later when the British HMS K9 sinks in the English channel killing everyone onboard. The day after, The Kid, starring, written, produced and directed by Charlie Chaplin debuts in Carnegie Hall. Jackie Coogan (Fester from the old Addams Family show) is in the film. I'll be watching it when I reach the general US release date on Februar...

  TIMELINE OF THE WORLD/LITERATURE The book : The Bible Today's entry : 1 Kings 9:10 1 Kings 9:10 marks a major chronological milestone in King Solomon's reign, noting that it took 20 years to finish building the Temple of the Lord and the royal palace. This verse sets up a deal where Solomon pays back King Hiram of Tyre with 20 Galilee towns for supplying construction materials. Later verses reveal Hiram was disappointed, labeling the area "Cabul" (...as in Afghanistan? That'd be kind of like unfortunate origins)  GOING THROUGH THE YEARS OF FILM/EARLY 20th CENTURY WORLD EVENTS Today's film : Journey Into the Night (1921) Boy, you can say that again.

The devil himself takes this as a challenge and sets out to split up the couple. He spends the rest of the movie acting like one of those people who manipulate and instigate and are always a little too eager to give you their two cents that make no sense. The devil manipulates a love triangle but in the end, when he reveals himself to the gf, Marie, she unleashes the power of prayer that consumes the devil in flames. The devil played a good heel that you wanted to punch but the...
