The Junkyard Van

My boyfriend and I watched Best Player, a Nickelodeon movie with Jerry Trainor, Jennette McCurdy, and Amir Talai. The movie was boring. 1/5. That single point belongs to Amir's performance as a gamer bro, and the Chicken Time sequence for sheer absurdity. However, something highly unexpected and wonderful happened that diverted our attention from the lame movie, so now one of my core memories is tied to a movie where Spencer Shay lives in a garage with the Radio Demon.

After years of suffering in silence, my sister and I finally quit putting up with something that caused us (much more so my sis) a lot of needless pain over the years. Holy shit it was so cathartic--also horrifying and exhausting--but mostly it was freeing.

Toy Story 5 was good actually??! I expected it to be okay at best and was pleasantly surprised when I left the theatre much more satisfied than I was with the 4th (that's saying a lot considering I saw TS4 in one of those fancy theatres with big cozy recliners.) I thought the story was really sweet and meaningful and thematically resonant. Nice movie, 4/5. Could've used more Woody x Buzz old man yaoi though. Eh, you win some, you lose some.

Last song: Uhh I don't recall exactly. I usually listen to youtube videos when I work at home and listen to music when I'm out of the house, and I've been stuck in the house this week (long story.) I guess by technicality I'd have to say Janice STFU by Drake, not because I like Drake (as a Toronto-born I'm legally required to turn my back on him), only because I watched Todd In the Shadows' review of it last night. Almost didn't watch it because of the title snafu lol I thought it was the Lulu video again. Was never a big fan of Drake. Janice song sounds mid and is lyrically humiliating.

Currently watching: Billiam's massive Lost video series on Youtube. A couple years ago I watched his first two vids, then losened interest, in no small part because I'd never seen the show firsthand. Then my sis watched Lost recently (I caught several episodes with her) and she expressed interest in watching the whole Billiam saga with me since she knew I watched some of them. Lost interests me, but not enough that I feel like sitting down and watching it all. Would rather watch someone super passionate about it talk about the show for longer than it would take me to watch Lost myself. From what I've seen, Hurley's my favourite character, hands down. Totally understand why Weezer slapped Jorge Garcia's face on their album cover.

Currently reading: bro I need to pick up a damn book. I feel ashamed for not reading more. I really do enjoy it but adhd is fucking killer sometimes..

Current obsession: I don't know my focus is so scattered around by my busy life that I can't say I have a current obsession, especially in the pop cultural/fandom sense. Let's say my obsession is with my life. I love life, Charlie! I LOVE LIIIIIFE

Currently working on: Just finished a hellish commission yesterday. Learned many lessons on what happens when your friend with even worse adhd than you asks you to animate something with ridiculously high expectations and you struggle to communicate just how crazy what he's asking for really is. Now I'm not making anything, just kind of recovering from that lol, I think maybe I'll try animating something else in Harmony because not understanding the software really bogged down my productivity on that last project. I want to try rigging a puppet again.

Seriously it was very good! Won't spoil it but I give the last episode a 9/10 <333 I had a couple minor issues with it but overall it was terrific and meaningful and I'm more than happy with how it turned out.
