Will I ever meet anyone who wants to have a PowerPoint party as desperately as I do?

Being the queer progressive atheist daughter of evangelical Pentecostal Christians is such a trip because they’re off to a prayer meeting while I’ve spent all of dinner excited to try out the new knotted dildo that finally arrived.

Just once in my life I want someone to want me as much as I want them. What would that feel like?

I just got a spam call from Sandwich, Illinois. Can you imagine people asking you were you’re from and having to say Sandwich? Or getting to depending on your feelings about it.

All I do is think about the Beetlejuice Stage Left props track

The setup in X is so good. That cropped shot of the farmhouse that lasts just long enough for it to stop being peaceful and for you to wonder if something is something is going to happen… and then a car appears and you realize it’s a police car, and about that time the camera moves into the scene and reveals the two cars already there and you know that something *has* already happened

Poor Things ending: “be the change you want to see in the world.”

I’m 35 minutes into poor things and Duncan is absolutely a sleazeball but also props to him and his commitment for fully climbing about four stories up this weirdass house to get into the pants of the even weirder girl he met for thirty seconds.

Also even greater props to Bella who, despite all her naïveté to the world, is still able to articulate after two interactions with him oozing charm “… who I think, cares little of damage to me.” He’s so representative of a groomer at this stage in her life but I’m glad even in her childlike way she realizes that.

Aww her creepy dad let her go with peace and sewed money into her jacket 🥹. Okay he’s weird as fuck but I guess he’s more nuts than creepy given how these usually go.

The Green Knight was shockingly boring.

I got halfway through before I had to stop and I honestly wish I’d stopped sooner. How long are we going to watch Dev Patel brood on a horse against a grey background with some quiet dramatic mood music? Do literally anything.

I’d heard good things about this movie. I really thought I’d like it. A24? Mythology and lore? DeV Patel? Sign me up let’s go on this journey.

But was everyone who loved it a hardcore Arthurian lore stan longing for a dry and pretentious two hour long coming of age story of a 30 year old man? How could a mystical opponent and a mysterious quest with ghosts and visions fail to be even a little compelling? I watched everything that happened in the first half of the movie before finally having to stop because despite that I STILL felt like I was waiting for something to finally happen.

I get where the story is going but it’s just not worth watching it play out.

Guys the Loki finale made me want to jump off a cliff (in a good way?) and I have not stopped thinking about it for the solid 24 hours since I’ve seen it.

It was incredible

I wanted to scream, cry, throw up.

I’m so proud of him. I’m actually crying now. I cannot believe his journey.

Uh, wow. Why do I suddenly so desperately want The Devil Judge to get gay?

Not Go-On leaving a message telling Yo-Han to eat the dinner made him. Not Yo-Han watching Go-On play with Elijah and the cat with a smile on his face. Not in hindsight Yo-Han dressing him for that charity gala 👀

I’m half way through episode 4 of The Devil Judge and I am so intrigued. I was plenty hooked after episode 1 but I’m happy it’s kept it’s rhythm! Still not really sure what going on exactly but I’m along for the ride and ready to watch it all play out.

Also the house is totally the same house from It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. I though the hallway was familiar but once he walked down the stairs and into the open study I was like I KNEW IT.

Got my first root canal yesterday, and here’s how it went for anyone wondering. (I did not actually know what a root canal was until I sat down to get one).

I feel like I’ve heard nightmare stories about root canals forever but really? It’s not very different from getting a filling, just a bit more intensive.

The procedure itself was not bad at all, ESPECIALLY considering the pain that drove me to get one. I have been miserable and basically useless for days. I won’t say I was excited to get a root canal, but I was excited to get a root canal if that was what made me feel better. AND IT DID. The sheer relief I felt when I got that local anesthetic was unparalleled, and the two pokes from the shots was the only discomfort I felt the whole time.

The doctor told me that half the roots were infected and the other half were alive, which is apparently the worst case scenario for tooth pain, and I believe it.

I didn’t pay yet (because it’s a multi step process and they won’t charge until it’s finished- the roots have been cleaned out and a rough patch put over the tooth, and I will return to get a crown) but was shocked to learn it would only cost me $135. Not on what I’d generally call the cheap side but for medical care?? It’s not like I know what anything costs, but I fully expected to pay over $1000. 

So for anyone struggling with dental fear and tooth problems! Root canals aren’t as scary as you’ve probably always heard and they’re worth it- they’re so worth it.

I just really believe in the core of my being that cats are the cutest animals to exist and that is a hill I will die on.

I’ve seen The Next Generation, Lower Decks, Enterprise, the Original Series, and I’ve just finished Picard aka TNG season 8, so I guess it’s time to start Voyager.

I sort of just want to meet Seven. After The Caretaker I might skip straight to her introduction.

Should I rewatch all of Alchemy of Souls or just part 2?

After which time I’ll probably be so emotional about it I’ll just start the whole thing over again anyway.

Saying that I had no idea at the start of The King: Eternal Monarch where we were going to go is an understatement. 

I knew there was time travel and such, but I thought that it was just a past king visiting the future

Incorrect. Sort of.

It was a wild ride but worth the watch!
