Hi. Welcome to the furloughed life of V. As you are probably aware, a lot has been going on in the world. There's a pandemic outside. People are hoarding items like they think there'll be a food shortage or a zombie apocalypse. Hospitals are filled to the brim and are running out of supplies. And social distancing has become a new norm. Of course, ( Read more... )

Nothing :(

Birds of Prey (2020)
Hustlers (2019)
Ready or Not (2019) - I've seen a lot of excellent films from 2019 but this may be one of my personal favorites (along with Parasite).

I wanted to have a moment, discussing why this blog has become so barren over time. There's the obvious explanation - when I first started writing on here with the intention of "analyzing", I was fresh out of college and unable to find a job. Now I have two jobs, a car, and a cat who is perpetually stuck in the chewing and play phase. The amount of ( Read more... )

I have been posting on Twitter more than I have on here, which is a first. This year, there has been a definite lack of posts due to a lot of reasons. Number 1 is work. Especially this year, I think I let work simmer into my off-time life. I had a huge sewing project that took up loads of time but was so rewarding in the end ( Read more... )

I've been feeling kind of down lately, due to things that are out of my control. What am I saying, everything's out of my control ( Read more... )

It's been a long time! I have been hard at work on the mega costume on the only two days I have off of the week. To add to that, I've also been spending time learning beginning American Sign Language. I learned some of it when I was a kid and my sister was taking college courses on it. I attended a "sign-only" dinner with her, where she hastily ( Read more... )

It's so nice to have my laptop back. It was typing two letters at a time and it turned out to not be a software issue. So it had to go into repair. Laptop was gone for about a week and a half in repair. But when it came back, it was working even better than before ( Read more... )

Apparently, Photobucket thought it was super cool to cover my pictures in gross ads. Knowing that Photobucket was growing increasingly gross, I had started to move all of my screen captures over to Google Pictures, with the belief that I would slowly update my posts with the new image links. And then I saw ads all over my pictures. So bear with me ( Read more... )

-Creating a summer reads list for work that is 90% things I am interested in and 10% things other people are interested in.

-Getting used to driving to work again now that I have a car that isn't totaled. The last time, I listened to The Fiery Furnaces' Rehearsing My Choir (one of my favorite albums) and still felt utter glee when listening to ( Read more... )
