"this dorm was once a madhouse" i made a joke "well it's made for me"
Goodreads sent out the link to their Year in Review today and, man, looking at that image grid is just a reminder that I read a lot of trash this year. Not to get judgmental at myself. But that's a lot of trash. Fun trash! Trash I enjoyed! (Mostly.) But trash reading. It's like. Comic book, Doctor Who book, Scholastic book aimed at ten-year-olds from the 90s, repeat. With the rare bit of nonfiction or actual literature thrown in to mix it up.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also wanted to post to promote two new media releases that I am currently obsessing over: Taylor Swift's album Evermore and the Cartoon Saloon movie Wolfwalkers.
Evermore probably doesn't actually need me to promote it as it's getting plenty of promotion and buzz, but I'm wildly in love with it; it's like a short story anthology in music form. Particular song highlights for me are champagne problems (she would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head), tis the damn season, tolerate it, no body no crime, cowboy like me, and closure.
Wolfwalkers, on the other hand, is the newest film from the same little indie Irish studio that produced some of my other favorite animated films The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and The Breadwinner; I've been looking forward to it since the concept trailer was released back in 2015, and it does not disappoint. It's about a young English girl who moves to Ireland with her father in 1650 to hunt wolves and discovers the truth about the local myths of 'wolfwalkers' - shapeshifters who are humans by day and wolves by night - when she befriends a local girl. It's utterly gorgeous (like all of their projects) with a fantastic story and incredible characters. It's available through Apple TV and select theatres.
How's everybody doing??
