champion of the sun

Another weekend in which I accomplished absolutely nothing around the house is done and gone, back to work! I got all caught up on my Stories, at least (wrestling). The ChocoPro/Mystery Wrestling joint show was a particular delight. Also went to the movies last night (Dwayne finally did a real acting!!), and when I got out of the theatre I had two whole comments on the first piece of fic I've posted in two years, which honestly made my night, so all in all it was a pretty good weekend. Now I've just got to do all of the real stuff that I should have been doing instead. Laundry, and manicures and whatnot.

The temperature fell below zero for the first time this morning, and while the weather forecasts have threatened snow a few times now, it either never manifested or didn't stick around long enough for me to see it, which doesn't count. The last vestiges of the two-week wonder that is fall are clinging on for at least a few more hours, so I'm going to take that as a win.

Feeling a bit of inexplicable anxiety today. Hopefully a Monday Mystery Movie after work will help (and that mom will be feeling up to it this time). I think it's gonna be Roofman?

13. Should Couples Live Together Before Marriage?

lol yes, fucking obviously. Most of the time, they should just skip the last part, too.

October Movies: The Smashing Machine, The Fly, Sorcerer, Gladiator

Tired after a bit of a waste of a night, but it was a waste in which I got to go see Gladiator on the big screen, which was pretty rad. We lost something as a society when we moved fully away from classic movie scores that just sound like movie music. Like, don't get me wrong, I'll go bananas over a Challengers or a Tron: Ares any day, and I'm still thinking about whatever the hell One Battle After Another was doing with its music, but there's really just something to be said for letting somebody like Hans Zimmer go absolutely apeshit with an orchestra and calling it a day, and I feel like we're losing that because it seems old-fashioned. There's room for both in the world!!

Made the plunge and finally bought myself some Dreamwidth paid time after many years. It's... quite expensive, isn't it? Considering I really only missed having more icon options. Still, it's a good service that is worth supporting, in spite of the gut-punch of an exchange rate right now. Now where do I feed pictures of wrestlers and get perfect icons spit back out?

11. How Productive and Organized Are You?

lol

I TRY, OKAY???

October Movies: Gladiator

Gonna be a sad sort of day. Said goodbye to Little Bear this morning, because she won't be there when I get home. Looked at a bunch of pictures of her when she was a puppy last night and cried a lot, so hopefully I can keep it together well enough at work.

Yesterday marked one year without my Bub, so mood was already low, and then mom bailed on the Monday mystery movie because she wasn't feeling well, so I just rewatched last week's Dynamite to boost my spirits instead. I do genuinely think it might be one of my favourite episodes ever? Between the old man yaoi, Hangman's cow gear and Lee Moriarty officially taking over as the Pittsburgh local hero (the doctor is OUT), FTR continuing to be some of my favourite heels in the company (saying Beth has a microbrawler head is hilarious I'M SORRY LET WILLOW FIGHT THEM), the women's tag title announcement, Orange's return, and Statlander ending the night with main event Mina and a motherfucking FLAMETHROWER, the whole thing just felt like it was booked for me personally, like a fun little post-PPV present. Very much what I needed.

I need to get my shit together and put together a stockpile of change so that I can start taking the bus and go to the movies on my own; they revamped our terrible transit system after many years so (if it all works as it's supposed to) I can theoretically now just hop on a bus and get all the way across town in about forty minutes, including the transfer. Game changer!

Okay, back to random videos of Edge and Christian playing real small in the corner of my screen while I pretend to be gainfully employed and avoid feelings about anything real:

She was a good dog.

I am... phlegmy. But feeling a bit better. Better enough to see an almost three-hour long movie tonight, at least! And hopefully do my laundry. And take a bath? And do my nails. THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH HOURS.

ALL OUT REWATCH BEGINS TONIGHT. I will probably only do a match or two at a time, though, both to savour the memories and because of the aforesaid never enough hours issue.
