I appear to be the only person in this movie theatre to see a little anime movie on a Thursday night in small-town, Brisbane, Australia.

I remember starting high school, realising comics were available from the library, then making liking Bone my entire identity (it still is, really).

It's the Brisbane Bandits, playing at the local baseball stadium. Gorgeous sunset.

So proud of my Brisbane Bandits, playing that baseball so goodly. What a good game to be probably my last live one of the season ⚾

I really enjoyed it too! Very philosophical and just enough mystery for a good emotional story. I want to check out Erlick's new book, The Poppy Fields, too. Have to finish some of my to-read stack though πŸ˜‘

It's the best book (The last murder at the end of the world), comic (Silver Surfer omnibus vol 1), game (Children of Morta), and movie (Superman) of 2025!

⭐Brice's 2025 picks⭐

Best book, comic, video game, and movie.

Takeaways: I want to play more video games this year. And read comics. And read more books? And ideally see more movies. Oh no.

Happy to discuss why Silver Surfer philosophising in space is the best experience of 2025. Thank you πŸ™‡

A small comics haul picked up from some boxing day sales πŸ“š I mostly want to read more Doom Patrol this year, and always love some random Aquaman stuff.

Give yourself something to look forward to next year. Something less substantial than a resolution which can carry regret if you can't stick to it. Think of a book you want to read, a genre of music you'd like to learn more about, a curiosity to chase no matter how trivial. Keep your spark lit.

Tired of loud bars. Give me more bars where I can eat an entire pizza and drink a beer by myself while soft, whiney, quiet music plays.

This skeet brought to you by me sitting in a loud bar, alone, trying to read and eat a pizza while Goo Goo Dolls' Iris plays between loud rock music.

It's because of this strip that I call my stupid cat when he's sitting on a lounge chair arm 'vulturing'.

Mostly because he also doesn't get any respect.

October things! So, I barely did anything this month. It was a busy one. But I did read some comics:

πŸ“–X-Factor omnibus vol. 1
πŸ“–She-Hulk by Mariko Tamaki the complete collection

Mostly solid reads! Everyone should read more comics.

Look, I'm pretty new to baseball, but it seems like the thing about baseball, is that it's really good.

Gonna have to figure out how to bring that World Series energy into the Australian League ⚾

Swooped in and made some ShortBox comics pickups before the timer ran out. So much great-looking stuff to choose from.

So the AI transcript of this work meeting is spelling filters as 'philters' for some reason.

This is all too stupid to be our future, right?

September things! This one was mostly an excuse to talk about Kamen Rider.

Loving just reading and finishing off todo lists. And it's always a big deal when a Kamen Rider series ends!

Breakfast sandwich and coffee on the deck!

5.4km run in 38 minutes. Which isn't bad considering how long it's been 😬

Rewarded myself with a delicious breakfast sandwich and coffee on the deck.

Just give Tartakovsky a bajillion dollars to work on whatever he wants. Auto green lights forever.

Sometimes all you need is a basic breakfast sandwich to help start the day, especially one that's chicken satay.

Two days, two sandwiches! This one was a Cubano. I say "was" because it doesn't exist anymore. It's in my belly because it was delicious.

Gonna start a sandwich diary with all this.

Willing it into the universe that I shouldn't have to work or have any function in society, but instead I should eat and take photos of sandwiches -- specifically Reuben sandwiches. Thank you.

I wonder if there's still time for us all to pack it up and be pig person pilots and rescue people and win flying competitions and live on our own small islands.
