I was worried about Ballerina, due to the new director’s shaky track record - but it was seriously incredible. Ana De Armis is outstanding, the fight choreography was sublime, and I’ve never seen flamethrowers used in a movie like this before 😳 I don’t understand the mixed reviews at all.

A bumper Japanese practice session this morning. I wrote out a schedule using ‘te form’ and some particle practice. I’ve hit a point where I’ve learned so much recently that I’m getting confused with some things 😅 Feels like I’m starting out again, even though it’s been almost two years.
