A hybrid of American and Japanese wrestling at this event, Kings of Colosseum
This guy was filthy, he kept hocking big globs of spit on his opponent. He also gave him papercuts with his own poster, insanity.
The luchador was possibly also Japanese, hard to tell. The hairy fellow was a Philadelphian and he’s a lot more nimble than he looks. It was really hard to choose who to root for in this match.
The guy behind me said “you know it’s about to get real when the ref comes out with gloves on”
Because the economy is how it is, it made more sense to get a real cheesesteak than gas station food. I used to live by Pat’s and Geno’s, but I always preferred Oregon Steaks because they use Aversa’s bread. I decided to finally try Philip’s Steaks. The first obvious difference is they actually give you a full cheesesteak unlike Pat’s or Geno’s. There’s a joke in Fresh Prince where Will mentions it isn’t a real philly cheesesteak unless there’s grease dripping from the bag. That was the second thing I noticed about this steak, a true philly cheesesteak. Sometimes I wonder what I would do if I came to Philadelphia as a vacation, it’s important not to take little spots like these for granted. Some people will never be able to get a steak from Jim’s.
Fantastic Four #338 (1990)
I love the art here but what most notably stood out to me is the introduction of the characters and concepts we’re about to encounter in the MCU right now. I should probably watch Loki season 2?
Revision: I originally wrote this post back in the first week of November, I read this comic during my trip to West Virginia. Since then, Jonathan Majors has been convicted of sexual assault and dropped by Disney to play Kang in the MCU. They may recast him, but I think they could just drop the character. You could easily just squeeze Doom into his spot, or go in a different direction. The whole multiverse thing is long past tired at this point.

Happy new year! I reunited with my strongest old roommates from college. We shared some of our weirdest movie recommendations.
Event Horizon - Not as good as Satan Pit, the Doctor Who ripoff
Beau is Afraid - Funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time
Horse Girl - A really good Twilight Zone episode
Asteroid City - These just feel like celebrity cameos
