She's back!
After a two-year(ish) hiatus, I have decided to get back on this thing - my how time has flown.
Trutfully speaking, there was no reason for me to ever stop; I think real life just mostly got in my way and cluttered my head. When you spend more of your time getting soul-sucked from a corporation that can't even be bothered to toss you a spare fiver for a bonus bonus, well!
It's kind of hard to get online for anything more than an escape.
And - to give myself a lot of credit - I think I forgot I (to a certain degree) may serve that purpose for someone else. I mean, humor is a universal balm, who knows how many people I've made laugh - intentionally or not?
I think one of the main reasons I came back on here is because I was asked, for the hundredth time, to make a podcast. You see, my personality is so effrevescent people just clamor to hear my thoughts - I can't help but be compelling! I'm a Leo and a middle child, it was in my life lottery!
I'm joking, but really - so many people want me to do a podcast! And it's not that I'm against it, I just feel like that's the medium I've least cared to explore, as far as expressing my opinions. I mean, I think I'd be a killer guest on someone else's podcast, or even a TikTok (I am still waiting for the day a child with a lav mic comes up to me in the mall, by the way - what is taking so long?!), but I don't know - never say never, I guess.
But what a revelation it was to read my old posts - why didn't any of you tell me I was in dire need of a copyeditor was so unhinged (but in like, a crazy/sexy/cool way that is aspirational)? I mean seriously, the mix of long-winded streams of conscius and humor?!
That's what I'm good at. I've always been a great writer - albeit I may write...too much...every now and again. Despite that, I firmly belive I deserve a Presidential medal for relatable comedy. Just your regular, sexy and modern working woman!
Huge year for me, I'm claiming it now - we are speaking only great things over ourselves this year.
Really we should be doing that every year, but I am now .. . in .. my late 20s (not spiraling about that, by the way!) with the wisdom of a wizened old tree constantly on the brink of being chopped down, so I'm really on this. Gonna emphasize the need to speak positivity and wealth of: spirit/family/health/etc. over myself and any of you reading this. Cause no one likes a Deborah Downer, especially not on the first day of a New Year.
We got this!
I'll try my best to keep this going, I mean really try.
But try to work with me I'm only human.
And for a treat, here's some randome thoughts:
THOSE FAKE-ASS SCENARIOS FROM TWITTER AND TIKTOK OR WHEREVER THE F*CK THAT ARE LITERALLY JUST DISCOURSE BAIT, OMG STOP ENGAGING IN THEM AND GET YOU SOME MONEY AND BITC-
KELELA
Girl, if y'all don't get the music back on YouTube? What's going on there?! Why do I have the option to listen to 5 different remixes of one song, but not the original song itself?
Don't vex me?
"SALTBURN"
Spoiler alert on the gifs, I guess.
Wasn't terrible, but really pissed me off - like that cannot be it.
Actually, me and Emerald Fennell might have a coconut, to be honest! Cause "Promising Young Woman" pissed me off, too - and it's ALWAYS the third act that really gets me fuming.
"The Little Mermaid" remake
I would like to retract any and all negative statements I made towards this film due to my own hesitations about live-actions. Naturally, I cried (because of course I did, I'm a crybaby - what can I do about it?), and it was a wholesome watch, which is like 35% of what it was intended to be.
(Everything else was about expanding Disney's cultural and financial capital.)
"ELEMENTAL"
After much thought, I have decided that Wade is biracial - his deceased father was Black. Yes he's a water blob but there's just some things- listen, I can't get too into it, but you get it.
It was a great Caublinasian (thanks Tiger Woods) love story, that now sits firmly between "The Princess and the Frog" and "Up" on my roster of amazing films about love that you can cry to.
"BARBIE" Movie
