The Revision: Aya of Yop City

A still from Aya of Yop City

The comic is funny, to be fair, but the movie just feels a bit looser and more playful as it heightens the slapstick elements and the absurdities of everyday life.

The Revision: Paradise Kiss

Ai Yazawa’s Paradise Kiss is more than 850 pages and the most surprising part is how little time passes. From the beginning to the end (minus an epilogue), it really only takes place over about a month. Paradise Kiss packs in so much, it still feels like an intense epic.

Ai Yazawa manga & a cool T-shirt. I'm going to see how much I have left in me for NYC for the rest of the day. Fort Tryon Park, The Cloisters & then the Hilma af Klint exhibit at MoMA. That was focused on her botanical paintings, which are lovely, but I like her abstract stuff better. Still, I'm glad I got to see it. Forgive my sweaty face and frizzy hair. It's humid and I climbed 10,000 stairs to get here but I finally saw these in person! Worth it! Cabaret was amazing. More thoughts later. I hope Orville Peck does more theater. Off to NYC. One of my gifts is randomly finding four-leaf clovers without really trying. Or in this case, a five-leaf clover. It's 1975 night! No real reason for this. We'll just pretend 1975 wasn't 50 years ago or anything so we don't feel old. -The Cure:  Standing on the Beach: The Singles Madonna - Madonna
