As Seen In:

Muezza wanted to go to sister's apartment to use her litterbox:

Me: *opens the door* there. Go. Shit.
Mom: CRANTZ
Me: It's okay, I was saying it to the cat
Mom: She's a good Christian cat!
Me: She really isn't



I need to do a deep clean in my room. Debating watching The Harlow Murder Club with Elly instead. We thought it was an episodic murder mystery but goddamnit it's a four episode season over an overarching plot. We need to finish it before the month is up so I don't have to pay for another month of bbc select.

I've been walking again now that the weather doesn't want to kill me and I forgot how good it was for my brain. Probably the only point I didn't want to throw myself off a ravine yesterday was the walk.

Behold... Thonk, Esquire. Grave orc. Barrister. Animist ghost summoning guy. 42 years old and spending time with beautiful anime boys, a loot goblin*, and a giant talking bear.

I finally got to say the 'my ghosts don't know shit' line last night after absolutely failing a perception roll while listening to ghosts of the many many dead in the castle we're in last night.

( Comic about how we somehow did not hear every single other person on our floor being killed by assassins/ogre/frost giant during the night )

School news: In the course I've gotten a grade back for, A+ which is a nice surprise because I thought I'd completely muffed the project! I got 30/30 on it though, weirdly.

Movie news: Saw

- Miracle Mile (whoa nelly)
- Starship Troopers (viewing it as in-universe fiction from another universe was a great idea. I really liked it as that)
- Live and Die In LA (Grissom no! I know what his penis looks like now so I guess I get some of Sara's ideas)
- Princess Arete (A solid fairytale with pretty low affect for an anime)
- Appointment with Death (decent Poirot, had Lauren Bacall, Carrie Fisher, and Hayley Mills but some really out of the blue added classism)
- Masters of the Universe (NOT an origin movie, basically went 'MY NAME IS HE-MAN AND I'M NOT EXPLAINING SHIT. HERE'S A GUN'. Loved it)
- Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Solid, not sure why Mycroft was played by Christopher Lee but he did a good job, source of me discovering that Queen Victoria was a little person)
- Look Back (50 minute movie that needed the final 30 minutes desperately)
- RoboCop (another fascist movie with co-ed sexless showering scenes from the same director. Also really liked, but experienced minor alarm when I couldn't tell when the sci-fi dystopia was starting)
- Blow Out (I made a horrible joke that immediately came true in the last scene. Moss says I am the lathe of heaven)
- The Wicker Man (it's a fucking musical! I loved seeing Christopher Lee skipping merrily along)
- Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop (Very cozy mystery movie, in the old sense of cozy for books not the new sense, and surprised it never got more in the series like it clearly intended. But basically Batman if he'd gone into academia instead and also Alfred was the American)
- Fargo (That Escalated: The movie)
- She Done Him Wrong (Mae West had a lot in common, behaviour wise, with the portrayal of Sherlock in Private Life of Sherlock Holmes)
- Independence Day ("They'll never let you go to space if you marry a stripper" I'm glad he married her anyway.)
- The Blair Witch Project (oh my god this list got long. Uh uh. Well, it filled in some cultural holes and I absolutely love that they visibly cheered up once Josh died, despite still being stuck in the woods)

Okay! That was my much longer than expected movie list! I was going through my 'watch again?' list on prime. There were more like Poseidon Adventure, Josie and the Pussycats, Girlbusters, Moonstruck, MIB, Christine, etc, but I'm out of will.


ALSO Christine the movie about the car what kills inspired me to create some sequels. Which upon posting these to a chat, someone started ranting about Hollywood being creatively bankrupt until I went 'these are clearly made up. By me' and he went 'oh'. I need paid to be in chatrooms sometimes, I swear.




*bird person.

I have all my data for my project assembled now - do you guys think I can manage to make a 20 minute presentation in two half days or will I be running off into the woods?

And do you think I should live in the branches of a tree, or in the roots?

I've been having my migraines lately and unable to sleep, so to raise my spirits I've been image searching things like prairie crocus, numbats, mouse deer, etc.

Also browsing book sales and there's a certain degree of fuckery on the amazon kindle title fields where instead of just the title they'll add some buzzwords leading to stuff like: "The Second Life of Mirielle West: A Haunting Historical Novel Perfect for Book Clubs" and also serves as warning plumage when you see books with 'A Dark Bully Romance' or 'An Uplifting Inspirational Romance' appended*

The on sale cozies my mom wants me to get her from bookbub are riddled with titles like these but thankfully since she has her bookbub set to the American one due to a misunderstanding when signing up, the books she points me out at are never on sale (thus we do not get them) and I am spared seeing 'A LAUGH OUT LOUD CAT-FILLED WHODUNNIT FOR FANS OF' appended onto the title of books in our shared library.

I'm a stickler, okay. Titles go in the title field. Summaries go in the summary field. Never shall the twain meet.



*Romance is not the warning word I'm talking about here.



EDIT: This entry reminded me to go check her favourite authors pages to see if they had any pre-orders up. There were some!
