book. to saizo for fun!
[insert that one prompt meme i reblogged like a month ago i think idk i cant remember SDHJKGFSDGHJFGHJ]
"This, this here, right up here," Saizo says with a cheeky grin, teasingly pointing to the book that Autumn was struggling to reach for, "this here book, this one?"
Saizo was holding back laughter for a minute, but that urge to laugh would slowly dwindle as he noticed Autumn's stare growing more... intense, or maybe it was her aura? All Saizo could tell was that Autumn clearly wasn't pleased with his teasing in any stretch of the word.
"Hey, woah don'tcha worry, I got it, don't get your pretty face all twisted up," Saizo continues after letting out a tiny chuckle, grasping the book with all intentions to bring it down for Autumn, "I was only playin' around, you kno--"
Saizo doesn't quite keep a hold of that book, though. It could have been a simple coincidence, it could have been karmic, it could have been a freak accident, but regardless, that large book slips from Saizo's hands and falls flat on his face.
The book crashing down onto Saizo prompts a 'ow!' from him, before he falls over backwards and tumbles onto a few stacks of books that Autumn had brought down earlier, causing another, even louder 'OW!' to leave his lips.
Saizo then lays there on the floor, in silence and in a great deal of book-incurred pain, with the very book Autumn had been reaching for laying neatly on his chest! //@equiilux

Stuff I’m Looking Forward to in August
We are now deep into the Summer. No holidays this month, but here is what’s on my radar:
Movies:
Dreamin' Wild
This musical biopic is about brothers recording an album in the 70s and then the album finally gets discovered thirty years later. There���s a lot of musicians who have had similar experiences (Death comes to mind) but this is based on Donnie Emerson and his family. Opens 8/4.
Strays
Alright, I admit a bunch of celebrities voicing dogs didn’t have me at first, but I’m looking forward to it because it’s directed by Josh Greenbaum, director of one of my favorite documentaries of the last decade Too Funny to Fail and the trailer got me laughing. Opening 8/18.
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah
Adam Sandler has been on a roll lately and in his newest starring / producing vehicle, his actual wife and daughters co-star in this bat mitzvah comedy. Netflix premiere on 8/25.
Music:
Neil Young Chrome Dreams
Recorded from 1974 to 1977, this Neil Young album was never released. In 2007, he released the sequel to the widely bootlegged album. Excited to see it’s official release on 8/11 (review coming soon).
Aerosmith Greatest Hits
In 1980, Aerosmith released their Greatest Hits album filled with 10 hits from the 70s. It is one of their biggest selling releases (12 times platinum). It was re-issued in 1997 with more tracks. There have been other compilations since then, but this new deluxe edition of 44 tracks is coinciding with their upcoming farewell tour. Album drops 8/18 (review coming soon).
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros Live at Acton Hall
Recorded on Nov. 15, 2002, this benefit concert was one of the final live appearances of Joe Strummer before his death on Dec. 22, 2002. Especially noteworthy about this concert is that Strummer was joined onstage for some songs by his old Clash bandmate Mick Jones. In 2012, there was a Record Store Day release of this, but this marks the first official release on vinyl and CD and remastered. Album drops 8/18 (review coming soon).
Alice Cooper Road
Call this my Summer of Alice Cooper: in June I got to review his super group Hollywood Vampires’ live album, then I got to cover the re-releases of School’s Out and Killer, and just last week I saw Hollywood Vampires live in Boston. Now the King of Shock Rock is back with his 22nd solo album, dropping 8/23 (review coming soon).
TV:
Ahsoka
Rosario Dawson stole some scenes as Ahsoka Tano on The Mandalorian. Now the character is getting her own limited series taking place post-Episode 6 around the time of Mandalorian. Disney + premiere on 8/23
Conventions:
FAN EXPO Boston
The annual Boston comic con hits the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Good news is that even with the WGA and SAG strikes, celebrities can attend and sign and even do some panels (as long as it’s not about struck work). This year’s guests include Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Hayden Christiensen, Jason Lee, Peter Weller, Robin Wright and more. The fun happens from 8/4 to 8/6.

Dreamin' Wild (2022) [Movie review]
Dreamin’ Wild movingly captures the Emerson brothers channeling their small town life in rural Washington into magical melodies. While lacking traditional music industry polish, their songs contain innocent wonder that touches those who discover the gems.
Affleck disappearance into his role as the introspective yet determined Donnie, who writes and records the material at home with his inspired…
