It my birthday!
I took the day off, we grocery shopped early cause we're supposed to get walloped with snow this weekend. Tomorrow we're going to Dave and Busters to celebrate.
Now I'm having an edible, having some dinner and chilling the rest of the evening. All in all, a good birthday.
Just some ramblings that I was thinking of that I wanted to put down lol.
Husband and I started two new shows this week, and like, they're fine, I don't hate them, but I'm not into them, like I don't feel the urge to watch a new episode. I don't mind if he continues watching them without me, or watches them while I'm in the room, but I don't have to pay attention, I can read or whatever. And he doesn't get that, and I couldn't explain it but I was thinking about it, and I think I've got it.
It feels so obvious, but if I want to stay engaged with a show, I really need A Character. Just someone or someones I can be...even a little obsessed with. It doesn't have to be a Blorbo, for me I just need A Character. A Character will, nine times out of ten, keep me coming back long after the show has dipped in quality. And conversely, if I lose enough interest in A Character, I will likely not finish a show.
I don't know if this vibes with anyone else, but like, my way of thinking about it is, not all Characters are Blorbos, but all Blorbos typically started as Characters. Like, we all know it's very easy for A Character to tip into Blorbo territory; though as I said, if enough interest is lost through whatever means, I think a Blorbo can just as easily be downgraded to A Character...and then maybe even just some guy from a show.
A Character is like...a friend I look forward to seeing each new episode, I want to see what they're up to, I might miss them a little between seasons or when the show ends, but the feeling eventually fades and I move on. I don't look up content for just A Character.
A Blorbo though....
A Blorbo will have me trying to teach myself a different language to better write fanfic. A Blorbo will have me trying to cram decades of lore into my brain just because. A Blorbo I will trawl through the depths of AO3 for, I will scour anywhere I can for even a crumb of fan art, I will brave the tags of Tumblr for a Blorbo. A Blorbo is for rotating in my mind 24/7. Maybe not for forever, maybe they get put on the shelf after a little bit until I'm reminded of them and reactivate like the Winter Soldier, but they're on the shelf all the same.
God is there anything better than getting unironically hype when a song comes on, and your significant other goes to playfully clown on you only to go "wait actually no, this song does slap"
Like yeah everyone thinks they're a bad bitch til "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls comes on don't they mother fucker lmao
Just remembered the last thought I had before I went to sleep last night which was this
Imagining Gabriel blowing his horn to signal Judgment Day, but it's preceded by Lou Bega singing "The trumpets" from Mambo No. 5
Literally had this thought, laughed to myself and then knocked the fuck out lmao
My sister and I just had...the weirdest interaction
She sent me a reel on Instagram from Staged, the thing with David Tennant and Michael Sheen, and as we're chuckling over it I ask if she'd watched Good Omens.
"Yeah? We watched it together, don't you remember?"
So I do a quick Google to confirm, the show did come out in 2019, and I tell her "how could we have watched it together? You and mom and dad had moved to TN by then and I had stayed in MA..."
"What do you mean it came out in 2019?? The show with David Tennant, he's a gay demon in love with a fussy angel, and like the apocalypse is happening but it stops right? That's the show??"
Apparently she somehow has a perfectly clear vivid memory of she and I watching Good Omens in the apartment our family was in, in MA in 2016, three whole years before the show ever came out. She can see us on the couch our family had in the living room watching it, but has no idea how or why that's possible. At least I was able to tell her that there was a second and upcoming third season cause she'd also had no idea about those either. Very strange though...
Went to my first furry convention with my bestie this weekend, the Anthro New England.
Husband and I watched a YouTube video from someone that like, goes to conventions and reviews them for YouTube, and she'd gone to one in Denver and had nothing but good things to say; I specifically liked the sound of pathways naturally being bigger to accommodate fursuits cause I don't love a crowd.
Gotta say, probably one of the better conventions I've been too. Everyone was masked up, literally everyone was so nice. I wore my Mothman sweater and it was a frickin hit, I swear every table we stopped at complimented it. I bought a very cute My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic backpack and a pair of briefs with an opossum on them which just cracked me up lol. We also lucked out and managed to snag space on the top floor overlooking right where the parade went through and man I was not expecting how long the parade went. It was great, I especially loved seeing the younger kids in their homemade suits and with a supportive parent. It was really sweet.
I will say, even at the age of 32 almost 33, I don't think we're mature enough to go into the 18+ area. Immediate case of the giggles at just... Everything. Trust me, I'm far from a prude and knew what would be behind the curtain but there's a difference between knowing in theory and seeing with your own eyes a toy the size of your forearm...
I think we might go again next year, and possibly still just do a day pass but get a hotel for the night cause there were panels that sounded interesting but they weren't until later and we were not feeling staying that late this first go.
Listen this is not a self promo, because tbh I hardly ever post on Twitter, I mostly just like or retweet (same here for that matter) but this is a taste of what my early to mid April was like that I felt like sharing.
So i like to keep my hair short right, like buzzed along the back and sides kind of short. And obviously I haven't been able to get it cut for the past several months which is fine, like I'd much rather keep myself and others safe, I can deal with my hair growing out, mostly.
Except...I've had to start wearing a headband to keep it out of my face while I'm working and realized that in doing so, I look exactly like a soccer player from a mid-2000s teen rom-com and I don't know how to deal with this information
