Spring Season: Weeks 17/18

Alright, fuck it, I'm formally committing to my new shiftwork lifestyle and moving my update schedule to every other Monday instead of half-assing one midway through the week once I'm sufficiently caught up on all my warranty bullshit and then another baby one a few days later. You know, quality* over quantity! Although you know, if I take my time and pick at this thing all weekend (weekends are mega quiet), it'll probably end up being far more long and rambly, too. So there!

Honestly, it's not like anything interesting ever happens in my life to warrant frequent updates, I'm really just here to maintain the habit, anyway.

I'm been going to the movies a lot! That's new! Because the theatre is open again! I'm real happy about it! It's all old movies and a few things that were playing when the world shut down, and that'll probably be the case for a while as things continue to fall apart Stateside, but tickets are $5 a pop and I'm genuinely loving getting to see all these movies on the big screen for the first time?? I feel kinda bad that I'm so enjoying something that's only happening because of awful, awful reasons, but I suppose that's just part of the perverse magic that is 2020.

On a related note, our 'rona numbers are... steady for the time being. A few new cases and recoveries both every day, so we've been hovering between 15 and 20 active cases all week. Life goes on.

Canada Day was nice, since it meant I got eight days off instead of seven, and also I saw Ghostbusters. Such luxury! A weird amount of children in their pajamas were there? A very unsettling vibe when combined with masks, tbh.

Not sure that I like how satisfying I find it to be able to listen to podcasts at work now? Because it's REAL satisfying. Maybe it's just because I follow too many and was getting stressed out seeing them pile up without my office time (I'm still working through the backlog, but it's going fast), but combined with how many movies I watch and comics I read (which I have no ragrets about), it feels a little... 'must consume media constantly, dead air is wasted air, just permanently hook me up to the content tube please' which doesn't feel great?? But at the same time, fuck the man, I may as well get paid to be mildly entertained, right?

I'm on a diet! I hate it! ( cut for talk about body issues/food issues/weight issues )

The only big issue with updating every other week? The movie spoiler zone gets... a li'l beefy.
