whew -- it's been a minute hasn't it
And...I logged on to DW just in time to see that HLH Holiday Shortcuts sign ups are open. Good lord. It's been a year! I honestly had no idea we were at that time again but here we are. whaaaaat.
I'm around. Just not very chatty.
here's a quick round up!
~ everything at chez hafital is okay, if stuck in that weird pandemic limbo. the most exciting thing that's happened is that I took a week off work and rearranged my furniture in the living room, which meant I was a) able to clean and dust a good deal and b) fixed my work from home area to actually be functional. Only took me a year and a half from when we started this weird adventure
~ still working from home (obvs) -- we were supposed to be back in the office 3 days a week in september but that got put on hold because of delta.
~ I had a SECOND tumble from my horse in as many months. hey, they say you're not learning if you're not falling
~ I saw SHANG-CHI like 3 times in the theatre. I LOVED IT. I think it's one of the best MCU films they've made. Also, I had a melt down in slack over the mid-credit scene lol.
~ I'm back in the star wars swing of things -- don't ask me why or how -- and am deeply in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi. These things happen. And oddly it's more with the animated Obi-Wan but whatever lol.
~ I have adored every single WHAT IF episode to bits and pieces. I find them extremely enjoyable, even when they punch me in the stomach. They're fun, quick, delightful, sad, mysterious, and chalk full of fun ideas and fun avenues to explore. Some of them are DARK. Like, I don't know, the movies aren't exactly all sunshine and roses either but holy shit some of these WHAT IF episodes manage to go to really dark and horrible places where the movies would never dare. I find it cool, personally.
~ For those inclined, MIDNIGHT MASS, on Netflix, was so good. SO GOOD. Flanagan's best work, imo. But best of all was getting to see Zach Gilford (Matt Saracen from FNL) on my TV again. And gdi he was effing amazing. I hope people recognize this. I hope he gets some nominations if not actual awards because he deserves them all. His work in this series deserves solid weeping from the masses.
~ though Midnight Mass did remind me to avoid religion at all cost lol
~ I went to see VENOM 2 yesterday. It was everything I wanted. Is there any greater joy than watching Eddie and Venom tussle with love? I don't think so.
~ BUT OMG YOU GUYS THE MID CREDIT SCENE FOR VENOM LET THERE BE CARNAGE I AM SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I nearly levitated out of my recliner movie theatre chair, spilling the remnants of my popcorn everywhere.
I'm going to have to do a longer MCU post to ramble more less coherently at length. Dreamwidth Post |
