Laurel

Out of context last week

Got bodied by the month of October

Inner critic is mad with power today

It’s hard to get away - I’m a freelancer and money’s always tight. But just got back from a little super-packed four-point autumn cruise out to Nova Scotia, PEI, and Ontario to see friends, trees from elsewhere, and TWRP play their last show of their tour

Many opportunities to see Blue Heron at @viffest.bsky.social these coming weeks, too. Gaffed this one with a stellar team last summer 🙌

New documentary on artist E.J. Hughes premieres in October at VIFF The renowned painter, E.J. Hughes, who spent most of his life on Vancouver Island, is the center of a new documentary premiering at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) on Oct. 5.

Did some cinematography, lighting, and focus pulling on different legs of Jenn Strom’s E.J. Hughes doc! Make sure to check it out at @viffest.bsky.social 😘

I'm a freelancer and it's so tough to take time off. The only reason this even held in place is because I booked flights instead of just driving into the woods like I usually do. See you soon, Nova Scotia 👋

When your vacation starts:

Listening to the Stardew Valley soundtrack and fully dissociating

An absolute GEM of a pilot! This worldbuilding and character design has me absolutely hooked ✨

A day with zero commitments is a beautiful day

I’m befuddled by so many things these days - but my Old Man Yells At Cloud for today is the decline of user interfaces.

Also making a cheeky little pit stop on the way home from the east coast in to see their only Canadian show in Toronto! So pumped

Critters, by TWRP track by TWRP

The highlight of my week was @twrpband.bsky.social releasing a single about Little Guys - which is just a slam dunk on my interests that I’ve listened to it about two dozen times already

Blue Heron Within a re-creation of childhood joys lies a more troubling story of a family’s growing crisis in Sophy Romvari’s affecting and intelligent feature debut.

A very special feature film I gaffed last year is headed to the Toronto International Film Festival!

Big Time Moon

#lastfourwatched #LetterboxdFriday

Anyways, learned how to use a serger today and repairing some very loved garments and a moth eaten souvenir. I am having a Nice Time™️

Me, having a great time doing some arts and crafts for the first time in a long while: nice
My default procrastination state: what have you forgotten and why aren’t you working on it

Having an “I have a lot of opinions” kind of day and it’s stressing me out, to be honest

Just saw a group of ducks doing the classic flying V formation. The world is full of wonders.

I am inching closer and closer to a public outburst every time I see someone litter - like how unaware do you have to be to throw shit out of your car window??

Using the word “absotootley” on dating apps as frequently as possible to weed out the weak.

When I meet new people and they see my tattoos:
“Is that… breakfast?”
“Yes”
“Is that a bee?”
“Yes, it’s got a little cowboy hat on”

Nanosaur by Iliyas Jorio Send dinosaur eggs to the future before a meteor hits the Earth!

Every 2-3 years I find myself reminiscing or trying to explain Nanosaur - a game that we were allowed to play in middle school AFTER educational software time. Today, while showing someone the velociraptor with a jetpack, I found out it’s on itch.io and I am so tickled

Riding a Translink bus for the first time in a WHILE: “what… what did they do to her?” Were the stop announcements always this stone-cold??

Anyways. Being alive continues to be wild.

Trying to dissect the exact combination of things that led up to this point. Seeing two friends? Eating fried chicken?? The clay face mask I did last night??? The particular episode of New Girl I watched this morning????

Also scrambling to hold onto the good feels when they hit - the rollercoaster is real
