I'm a lurker and rarely comment, so it did not occur to me to do that. I'm trying to get out of my brain and just do what I'm supposed to do. It's fixed now, just for you!
I share a first name with a mythological deity, so introductory conversations usually start with "Oh, like the god/goddess of...", but I don't mind it too much because I happen to really enjoy mythology in general. It's a great icebreaker most of the time and only annoying when someone frames it as "Did you know?" Like, even if it wasn't one of those dieties most of us learn about in middle or high school history class, do you think you're the first person to explain this to me in the last 30+ years of my life?
The thing that really bothers me is people have this strange inclination to sing my name at me after they learn it. It's been used in a good handful of songs and is even the title for one by a famous 60s/70s band. The weird thing is some people aren't even referencing one of those songs. They just make up their own little tune.
Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's a rock opera horror set in a dystopian future where organ repossession is a thing. I enjoyed it and might even add it to my background noise rotation.
Trying to break my lurking habit, so here is one of my favorite pictures of my cat Romano. Enjoy!
A few friends and I will get together periodically to watch a Nic Cage movie. Depending on the vibe of our selection, we call our viewing party either "Cage Rage" or "Nic at Night". It started off with us just watching weird/eccentric movies, but since weird films and films with Nic Cage tend to have a lot of overlap, it became Cage centered. Mandy and Pig were the two that really kicked it off (Pig is probably my favorite so far). We actually just watched Vampire's Kiss last night-- mainly to know where the meme comes from, but it was a very entertaining dark comedy. The first ten minutes he feels a little out of place and maybe miscast, but then it slowly spirals and you realize how perfect he is for the role.
