Random Musings - 1/5/15

-You know what really brings down a New Year?  A weekend where its rainining most of the time and where you yourself get rather sick.  Oh and you are forced to finally keep a promise to your mother to go to "that museum she's been wanting free access to for months [or more like years] now only to have to rush through it because of matters of parking on a street where there is no free parking even on a Sunday!" (and hear her complaining of "I wanted to do the special exhibition they had here too..." when this is really the first time we finally got there so just one at a time)  Mind you I don't mind art museums, but this one felt way too overwhelming being basically "a ton of various paintings from various painters randomly on walls throughout what feels like the replication of a house".  I think I actually prefer normal exhibitions in museums (or just museums as well) where there is at least breatheable wall space and maybe an easy way to read over some of the artist's intent in order to fully take it in instead of "here it is as an exhibition on how rich/powerful/cultured I am, look and move along".

-The '15 toku watches are in full swing now so at least I have been keeping busy with things even in this new year. (well there are other things but don't want to get into that in fear of jinxing it)  The actual Sentai watch for the moment, Turboranger, starts officially tonight (I did the "episode 1 10 Sentai special New Years; now I watch the series proper), but quick comments on the other three series for those who care:

• KAMEN RIDER BLACK: Some elements of the origin are bizarre, particularly regarding why the Rider exists this season, but I do really like the weirdness of the villains and the action is great for its period.
• KAMEN RIDER AGITO: As a fan of Kuuga I do like some elements coming back and G3 is an awesome Rider so far...but Agito himself just feels like the sad missing link between the awesome Kuuga and blech like Ryuki or Faiz.  Oh...and that DNA from a statue can create a baby...
• BLUE SWAT: Impressive opening episode but it is obvious where the opening of Hurricaneger comes from now (same writer BTW).  Definitely glad this was chosen for my MH for the moment.

-Meanwhile the worst part of being a Northerner is starting to emerge: Winter Blues 2015.  Hate that I fall for this malady and I really should just invest in a sun lamp but...well, prepare for me to act weird between now and late February.

-And now, even though I sort of wish I had something for this moon (have another SeleneChat to perhaps continue on the crazy and popular concepts from 5 and 6), I did actually find that my comic book review site finally has something I have coveted seeing for a while: a wolvette TF for Lissa Russel, the sister of Jack the Werewolf-By-Night!  Sure its a dream sequence...and I hear it gets weird for her...and that she becomes brunette from her regular hair...but considering I had been given the potential in "Giant Size Creatures #1" (where Greer becomes Tigra), this was something I've been wanting to see for a while:
