• Yesterday was spent 70% browsing niche reddit communities, 20% attending stressful family obligations and 10% watching Whiplash with my pup.
• The Reddit part was surprisingly… helpful? I’m glad the information I needed wasn’t buried under layers of irony and misogyny.
• The family obligation was a meal and socially it could’ve gone better but the food was good, I like romescu sauce a lot.
• Whiplash isn’t a movie I would say is enjoyable as in “able to be enjoyed” (ramping tension that never lets you catch a break) but it’s the first time I watch it in years since I had a huge emotional response when I watched it back when it came out and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I got into it, how much I let myself feel the audience complicity in the abuse every time Andy had a successful performance. It was a really solid experience. It’s a good movie.
• I fell asleep after some good conversation with my flock and woke up this morning to a doorbell ring that I should’ve picked up, it was a delivery for someone else but we weren’t expecting it on a Sunday, so I assumed it was a real estate agent and didn’t open the door. I’m currently waiting for the delivery person to come back… And they apparently aren’t. My bad.
• Plans for today include cooking an easy dinner (pumpkin soup, caneloni), taking out the trash, cleaning my bedroom (it’s so dusty… and it feels like every surface is covered in needless junk that has a designated place to be which isn’t on a countertop or a chair).
• I’ve been playing around with desktop layouts, shamelessly inspired by S’s blog design. I find the homepage so elegant… We’ll see if it sticks.
