The Five Venoms (1978)

[hotvintagepoll]

recently discovered some fascinating hobbies for a few of the older tv men ive been submitting for the vintage tv polls and that got me wondering what (if any) strange/niche/unique hobbies have you ever encountered among classic film actors?

I think my favorite is Danny Kaye, who was apparently the type of guy who would fall in love with something and fall hard—he wanted to learn how to fly a plane, so he did; he conducted orchestras with 0 ability to read sheet music; he became so riveted by the art of Asian cuisine he started studying under master chefs Johnny Kan and Cecilia Chiang in their San Francisco restaurants, eventually building a separate kitchen into his house to support his obsession, which lasted the rest of his life. I just think that's neat.

OO3. ❲ PERSONAL INFORMATION ❳

PERSONALITY OVERVIEW┊ niko is someone introverted by nature, the kind of person who doesn't talk much or fare well in crowds of people, even with how friendly they seem. it's amusing to think about that fact because niko is in a group with a good 20 other guys, and he isn't good with people? well no, not naturally at least. he usually never talks during group conversations unless someone tells him to, and he likes to think of himself as a much better listener than talker. he can remember things others say for days, but can usually barely formulate his own words, afraid of them not making sense or tripping up and saying the wrong thing, or mispronouncing a word. niko hates talking in front of others because he overthinks even the simplest of things, and while the people he's talking to may not hate him, niko's gonna think they hate him anyway.

niko is someone who is very honest on most occasions, but he doesn't come off rude about it, it's just that niko cannot lie for the life of him, especially if it's about something important to the person he's talking to. he starts awkwardly laughing and avoiding eye contact, smiling until his cheeks hurt. the one thing niko hates doing more than anything is hurting people's feelings, but he also doesn't like lying to people because he feels like he's betraying their trust. if niko thinks something about someone, he's going to tell them at some point, because if he doesn't he's going to feel insanely anxious for the rest of his life. it's not that he wants to hurt people, but he feels that withholding the truth from someone is wrong, and he'd also want others to be as honest with him as he is with them.

niko is someone who rarely loses his cool, and if you ever see him angry, it's most likely an act. niko is rarely angry or even easily aggrieved. though he does have his moments, niko has always known how to control his temper, even as a child inexperienced with life and having no clue just how upset people in the future would make him. if he is upset, he won't say a word about it, he'll just hole himself up in his room and go through it all by himself. nikolas doesn't really talk to people about how he feels, resorting to suffering in silence than telling anyone about it. he doesn't really like talking about his business as it is, but whenever he's upset about anything, he has to be alone, it's really the only thing that could make him any less upset. he avoids talking to anyone when he feels upset or his feelings overwhelm him, as he's afraid of blowing up on them or saying something that he'll regret (which unfortunately, has happened in the past).

everyone has a bad trait, and niko would say his worst is that he's stubborn. you have to be some sort of sorcerer to be able to change niko's mind about something, if he's already decided on it in his head, he's not going to move. he will get into an argument with someone if it means not changing his mind, he doesn't like losing, he doesn't like admitting when he's wrong even the answer is right in front of his face, and though niko is very understanding and open-minded, he's often stuck in the same place for years because he refuses to acknowledge he's wrong. of course, this trait is much less prominent now then when he was thirteen, but niko will still get into dumb arguments with the members over stupid things he refuses to believe are true.

Happy Halloween! Today was October 31st, 2024 and it was definitely the weirdest Halloween ever! I woke up after getting some okay sleep and headed over to my chemistry discussion. I then headed to Kerkhoff where I went to get lunch with my friend Ms Sophia Wang at Ackerman and we had some good conversation! Then Ms Kelsey Chiang and Mr Johnny Jang took me out to try Honeymee and treated me. It was so delicious and I would definitely go again! I then knocked out for a two hour nap before going to my big’s apartment for the first time ever to go study with her and do our vlog! It was super cute and I missed my big so much! 🫶🫶 I then ended my day off servicing the community by handing out waters to people on frat row! I had a good time today and am now going to bed! 🤩

PauseTalk Vol. 86

Oh what a night it was.

Following a hiatus of 8 years (Vol. 85 was held in 2015), PauseTalk was back for "one night only" on May 31, 2023 for Vol. 86. Held at FabCafe in Shibuya, it not only ended up being a warm reunion for many regulars from the original series, but also included quite a few new faces, which made it feel like a proper edition. Along with reminiscing of bygone days, new topics were brought up and discussed, and ideas were shared. And I got to blow out candles on cake that had my face on it (it was my birthday).

Although we didn't have the traditional attendance sheet printed out, everyone (hopefully) did contribute their names, which you'll find listed here:

Adrian Hogan

Benjamin Parks

Brian Scott Peterson

Calvin Chiang

Don Kratzer

Jean Snow

Jenny Yu

Jian Shen

Johnny Linnert

Judit Moreno

Luis Mendo

Mariko Suzuki

Mark Dytham

Matt Schley

Patrick Laffoon

Robert Zetzsche

Said Karlsson

Victoria Ying

Yuko Yoshikawa

I invite you to check out the Facebook photo gallery featuring photos contributed by Benjamin Parks, Brian Scott Peterson, and Don Kratzer.

The amazing sketches of some of the attendees (included in the photo gallery and at the bottom of this post) were drawn on the spot by Luis Mendo throughout the evening.

What about the future of Pausetalk? Although the intention was just to do a one-off event during my visit to Tokyo (my first proper visit since 2015), I would consider this Vol. 86 to be such a success and the reaction was so positive that I do plan on organizing more editions on my next visits, hopefully once or twice a year. Stay tuned for info on the next one by following the PauseTalk page on Facebook or via this very site.
