Fade to Glitter

I write fan fic in between socializing entirely too much. I watch a lot of comedies that are critical darlings with low ratings. I also see a ton of movies. Occasionally, I wander.

Look at them. Look at my babys. They are judging someone. They deserve everything in the world.

Are you in the USA? I cannot stress this enough: search your state's unclaimed property site to see if there is anything in your name.

I just got a check for nearly $900 that I didn't know about. Apparently it was sent to me at the end of 2019 and I never got it, so it was sent on to Unclaimed Property.

My friend checked the state he used to live in. He didn't have any unclaimed property of his own. But his dad, who died 20 years ago, had over $10,000 in unclaimed property. My friend is the heir, so he gets that money.

It involves a little paperwork to get the money but it's so worth it!

You can search ALL states using MissingMoney.com. And I recommend that you search ALL states - sometimes you might get a surprise about post property in another state (as my friend did with his dad!)

Someone asked, "Wait, what is unclaimed property from?"

If a company, like Comcast or AT&T or Blue Cross Blue Shield, tries to send you a check but it's lost in the mail, or you moved, or for other reasons you don't deposit it, after two years they send it to the state you live in. The state then has it in a database under your name.

If you have a relative who died, they probably have funds in here, even if they were poor. If someone didn't close a bank account after their death, or never got the deposit back for the cable box, or never cleared out their PayPal account, that money would wind up in unclaimed property. (All three examples are actual things from my friend's sister that we just found in unclaimed property in her state. She died ten years ago.)

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had great chemistry and they appeared as love interests in NINE movies together, because people loved them and wanted to watch them fall in love again and again.

How do we get that back? without restarting the Great Depression or the Hays Code, I mean.

One thing that tickled me about the Barbie movie was how Gloria's husband is (imo) a 'Real World' Ken.

We see very little of him in the movie. In both of his scenes, he's trying to speak/learn Spanish. He does nothing important or if consequence in terms of the plot... But he's trying to learn a language his wife and daughter speak. He's not excelling, I'm not even sure if he's succeeding. But he is kensistently trying.

For all of the 'Real World' men who are antagonists or opponents to Barbie, El Esposo de Gloria (as he is listed in the credits) has true Kenergy.

No matter how inane a song, no matter how nonsensical the lyrics, there are earnest comments under that video on youtube talking about how that song got the commenter through a heroin addiction, the death of their father, that time they were homeless and living in their car and now they’re a CEO... and that’s honestly beautiful, that songs can connect people to their emotions despite not meaning a damn thing

sorry but there is nothing more romantic than enemies to lovers. literally nothing. it is you have seen me at my worst, and you make me my best. you have witnessed my anger and hatred and resentment, all of these vile, malignant emotions of mine, emotions once directed at you, and yet you love me regardless.

'the axe forgets but the tree will always remember' because

i lie awake at night terrified, horrified, wondering

how many times have i been the axe and

forgotten
