Ok and all of the jokes about Curtain frantically trying to guess Number Two's real name are so much funnier in light of ep 8. Like he did have her real name this whole time! Right on his list of people to brainsweep - "Number Two!" But it's so funny because like - does he know. Is he aware that that's actually her real name?

Personally I think the jury's still out on that one. But. Friends, please join me in imagining the Shrimp Emotions Curtain must have experienced after spending years, countless sleepless nights and dead ends, agonizing over the real identity of his brother's mysterious right-hand operative - only to find out that her real first name was, in fact, "Number."

Junji Ito makeup test #1

OR

Figuring out what I need in order to create a music video parody of the song "Gloria" by Laura Branigan, but make it about Tomie. I will be playing the part of a 1980s pop disco singer in the style of Junji Ito. This is high art in progress, people! 😘😂😅

photos of first test:

additional digital notes made using Clip Studio:

main takeaways:

So first off, where the fuck did my stage makeup go??? I had no idea it was missing until today!! I ended up using the makeup from when I used to perform as a mime. (Not a joke, but in a larger, cosmic sense, kind of a joke. 😆 I'll probably do it again sometime. I was adorable as a little soft butch gay mime!)

I now remember why I stopped using the dry cake face paint and switched to wet paint in a tube BUT I CANNOT FIND THE TUBESSS

I'm out of eyeliner in general, but for this, I need some kind of extra thin/fine eyeliner and preferably more than a thimble-full of paint for it.

Maybe I can thin out some matte black face paint and also get like a really nice fine brush? I guess it depends on if the paint is water-soluble.

I should probably check to see if I already have these materials, which would be SO MUCH EASIER IF I COULD FIND MY FUCKING STAGE MAKEUP--

Either way the lines need to be super thin, straight, clean, and parallel to each other. Or I could look at the rougher cross-hatching Ito sometimes uses, but I suspect tidier lines will look best with makeup.

Luckily, I already have an entire burlesque/drag act where I make myself look like a character from a black and white film. Between that and the mime thing, I theoretically have all the white gloves I will ever need lol. I guess I'm going to need white leggings, since the light gray ones won't work for this. Junji Ito is not generally greyscale as much as literally black and white.

Do I own makeup primer? I feel like yes. It definitely sounds like a good idea.

I KNOW FOR A FACT I DIDN'T THROW OUT MY STAGE MAKEUP because I had quality skin-safe glitter in basically every color, and only a FOOL would throw that out!!!!

Gloria is a song from 1983 with disco balls in the music video. Do I want to incorporate more style choices from 1983? Should I buy a wig? Something with shoulder pads maybe?? I guess that means I can keep the thick eyebrows...

Actually upon further research, I do need a sequinned shirt for this. Possibly a sequin leotard with a shiny belt. And leg warmers. OH! And a jacket with just the biggest shoulder pads I can find! Or at least the closest thing I can find to this outfit in one trip to a thrift store

Every 1980s music videos seems to have a person with their hair and clothing flowing in the wind. Now, I could buy a fan. But much funnier and cheaper would be a shot of my hair blowing in the wind that then pans to a friend furiously fanning me with a piece of cardboard or something. (Which means I'd need either two people helping with this shot, or I just have to accept that the shot's going to look kind of blurry by doing the zoom-out in post. Oh gods, I would have to write a proper shot list ahhhhhh--)

Honestly, blurry footage seems fine in some parts. I'm probably going to add some dreamy soft filters anyway to make it look like pre-digital 35mm film from an 80s vid.

I'm going to need some fake blood to splatter at me in the middle of the video. Obviously. So I guess that bit will need to be filmed outside.

The good news is the fact that the nearest easiest filming location for me is a alley full of dumpsters is actually really appropriate for this video. XD

Should I do the distressed eyebrows that a lot of Junji Ito characters have? Note to try that in the next test along with a The Crow-like smile. (My go-to high school Halloween costume. Damn, I have been painting my already pasty-pale face even whiter for a while now! 😅)

Other progress made on this project today:

I recorded myself singing a voice memo along to the rhythm of the karaoke version of Gloria that's on YouTube, but in it, I'm singing in the key that is appropriate to my voice. (A couple half-steps down, I think.)

Next step will be to load that clip onto my computer and adjust the karaoke version to match its pitch. And then like, practice the song with my new personalized backing track.

If i actually finish this, I'll have to re-record the backup vocals to say the right name.

Also the next step will be to see if my interest in this lasts long enough to at least get me to find my frickin' stage makeup.

Additional notes:

The original music video for Holding Out for a Hero is exactly the right energy for this, and now I absolutely need shots of me in front of (badly green-screened) flames, on my knees while singing passionately and directly at the camera and presumably wearing kneepads tbh

Omg what if I included a little "photoshoot" sequence and really fucked with the photos to make them all blurry-body-horror nasty as they flash by real quick?? Get like, a glitch effect in the mix hell yeah 😎😎😎

Edit: Omg i just remembered I have these short-shorts with a reanimator quote on the ass! ("Blasphemy? Before what god?") i know what shorts to wear for this now!!

Oh! Another idea! What if the video starts with me reading Tomie and then closing the book and picking up the nearest microphone-shaped thing and using that to start singing - and every 30 seconds or so of footage, it quietly changes to a different item (one of which is absolute the black wand vibrator that I have XD)

Note: I can easily shorten the song if I only have funny shots planned for like 2/3 of the song length. No need to get too repetitive.

Implementation of Microlearning Solutions: Boosting Organizational Success

In today's fast-paced corporate environment, learning and development (L&D) managers are increasingly turning to microlearning solutions to enhance organizational success. By breaking down complex information into small, manageable chunks, microlearning makes learning faster, more effective, and engaging for employees.

What is Microlearning?

Microlearning involves delivering educational content in bite-sized, easily digestible pieces. Unlike traditional training programs that can be lengthy and cumbersome, microlearning modules typically last only a few minutes and focus on a single topic or learning objective. This format not only makes it easier for employees to absorb and retain information but also fits seamlessly into their busy schedules.

Why Microlearning is a Game Changer

Microlearning stands out for several reasons:

Increased Engagement: Traditional training sessions often struggle to maintain learner engagement beyond the first 20 minutes. Microlearning’s shorter, more interactive sessions keep learners engaged and focused.

Flexibility and Accessibility: Microlearning content can be accessed on various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, making it convenient for employees to learn anytime, anywhere.

Immediate Application: The concise nature of microlearning allows employees to quickly apply what they’ve learned to their work, reinforcing the knowledge and enhancing productivity.

Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for lengthy training sessions and minimizing time away from work, microlearning can lower training costs for organizations.

How to Implement Microlearning Effectively

Identify Learning Objectives: Clearly define what you want learners to achieve with each microlearning module. Each module should focus on a specific goal or skill.

Create Interactive Content: Use multimedia elements like videos, quizzes, and simulations to make learning interactive and engaging. Gamification can also enhance learner involvement.

Leverage Technology: Utilize learning management systems (LMS) and mobile learning platforms to deliver content efficiently. These tools can track learner progress and provide valuable analytics.

Encourage Active Participation: Design modules that require learners to actively participate rather than passively consume information. This could include interactive scenarios, problem-solving exercises, and real-life simulations.

Regular Updates: Keep the content current and relevant. Regularly update modules to reflect new information, industry trends, and organizational changes.

Benefits for Learners

Time-Saving: Microlearning allows employees to learn at their own pace, fitting learning into their schedules without overwhelming them.

Higher Retention: Short, focused modules improve knowledge retention, helping information move from short-term to long-term memory.

Increased Motivation: The engaging and interactive nature of microlearning keeps learners motivated and eager to complete modules.

Benefits for Organizations

Enhanced Training Effectiveness: High engagement and retention rates translate to more effective training programs.

Cost Savings: Reduced time spent in training sessions means lower costs for the organization.

Better Performance: Employees can quickly apply new skills and knowledge, improving their performance and contributing to organizational success.

Overcoming Challenges in Microlearning

While microlearning offers numerous benefits, organizations may face challenges in its implementation:

Content Overload: Avoid overwhelming learners with too much information at once. Break down content into manageable chunks and prioritize essential information.

Technical Issues: Ensure that your chosen platform supports various devices and has a user-friendly interface. Regularly test and update the platform to avoid technical glitches.

Measuring Effectiveness: Use analytics and feedback to measure the effectiveness of microlearning modules. Adjust content and delivery methods based on learner feedback and performance metrics.

Case Studies and Real-World Applications

Healthcare: In the healthcare industry, microlearning is used to train medical professionals on the latest procedures, compliance regulations, and patient care techniques. This approach ensures that healthcare providers can quickly update their skills and knowledge, leading to better patient outcomes.

Retail: Retail companies use microlearning to train employees on customer service skills, product knowledge, and sales techniques. Short, engaging modules help employees retain information and improve their performance on the sales floor.

Technology: Tech companies leverage microlearning to keep their workforce updated on new software, tools, and technologies. This continuous learning approach helps employees stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Future of Microlearning

The future of microlearning looks promising, with advancements in technology and a growing recognition of its benefits. Trends to watch include:

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI can personalize learning experiences, recommend relevant content, and provide real-time feedback to learners.

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): These technologies can create immersive learning experiences, allowing learners to practice skills in a simulated environment.

Adaptive Learning: Adaptive learning technologies can tailor content to individual learners' needs, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience.

Conclusion

Microlearning is transforming the way organizations approach employee training and development. By delivering content in short, focused modules, microlearning enhances engagement, retention, and application of knowledge. For organizations looking to boost their training effectiveness and achieve better outcomes, microlearning offers a powerful and cost-effective solution. Embrace microlearning to unlock the full potential of your workforce and drive organizational success.
