so, i completely forgot about DW for a minute. if a minute was like five months. classes ended and started. i'm sort of working in a lab for at least the summer. i watched a lot of movies and also a lot of tv, there was a lot of watching. i'm only taking one class/lab at the moment with a couple of online electives to start in a couple weeks. so there's a lot of time for watching.

( may watchlist )

I got a planner and was really good about using it from jan-april and then completely fell off between break and having like no assignments right now. i'm not really the journalling type, i say as i update no one but myself on my life as if i wasn't there. but whatever. i am hoping DW will become a major fandom hub. it won't but i am pretending it will

i am desperately trying to use this time to get into writing more but the muses are being very uncooperative at the moment. i remain in my moby dick era, forever hunting the white whale of my creative mind that is witcher nascar au. i swear to god one day it will happen (probably lying).

Oh and in this time away i watched and rewatched and rewatched again ted lasso. a show that was made in a lab just for me even though i tried to watch it a couple years ago when it was still on and it just did not mesh with my brain. now it has turned my brain into mush to such a degree that i'm actually taking a break from it for june. tolerance break kind of thing so i can go back and freak it as severely as possible.

some songs i've been into lately

Take Me As I Am - Leslie Odom Jr. (Youtube)

This was certainly a month. I dropped a class but it was for the best, the professor was hmm... not the best let's just say. So I'll have to take the class next term and I'm thinking about taking it at my previous institution with a professor I like. But all's well. A lot of exams this month also, for classes I still have a hard time studying for, which is the perfect segway into the fact that I watched 23 films this month! A different film every day. So clearly with my 90-minute to two-hour allotment of goof-off movie time, I am working very hard on my schooling.

Also this month I decided to buy a planner. I tried the bujo thing but it was too high maintenance. I think having to actually draw the spreads, even if they were very minimal, was creating a barrier to my planning. I ended up going with the Hobonichi Weeks after seeing some videos on youtube. I plan to use the left-hand pages for my actual planning, mostly assignments, and the right-hand pages for writing about the films I'm watching that week.

To start, I watched all the Saws. I saw part of the first one years ago and finally ended up watching the rest and I am so sad to say they were not as good as I thought they would be. By the time I hit Saw IV I ended up making a graph of the franchise ratings to cope and to ensure I wasn't just getting a bad grade in movie opinions. That being said- I have become so obsessed with them. I always say that in order for the brain rot to take hold, a piece of media has to be a very special type of bad and these certainly qualify. Number one films. to me.


( behold my 23 random movies )
I watched a few others but they were either 1) not horror, or 2) rewatches. I was really hoping to crack 31 films this month but I took a week off and couldn't catch up :/ but I had a lot of fun! I'm usually not a big movie watcher but I'm into it now. I even finally started using Letterboxd. Love love being able to look at all the film posters together

I also listened to some cool music this month. And by listened to I mean put on repeat for like 3 hours each-
