I love being in my ultrachill medicated phase, but i also need whatever pill will motivate me to update letterboxd for the first time in six months

I imagine every Safdie film pitch is "what if there was a guy who you wanted to be dead for the entirety of a movie's runtime?"

We've slowly been watching all of Criminal Minds because its clockwork procedural beats and ridiculous version of the world eventually become comforting. Tonight I accidentally gave myself psychic damage by throwing on the next episode in sequence...which turned out to be "Nelson's Sparrow." Ow.

Top artists: fall out boy, mcr, beyonce, chappell roan, mika. Top songs: sushi glory hole, the blob, everybody stay safe, hot to go, everybody have fun. 7911 minutes listened. Emo top genre

My listening age: 79

I never use Spotify anymore but here's James' wrapped since we listened to all the same stuff. Our top 5 songs include two versions of a Wang Chung song (regular and COVID lockdown version), the theme song for The Blob (1958), and song of the year Sushi Glory Hole. We are not serious people.

Accidentally got too close to the babies when i was idk maybe 8? And the mama flew onto my head and beat me up 😭 i came away with some battle scars and very tangled hair

the current plan is to put my coverage on my own site for free, but if anyone wants to pay me to put em somewhere else, let me know!

I've written at least 40 articles about Stranger Things over the years, so you bet your butt I won't miss out on digging into the final season just because I'm not regularly contributing to major sites anymore. Thoughts to come!

Okay the last couple eps of this show were actually a blast, i stand corrected. Feels like Big Little Lies fanfic in a good way

DS9 Mirrorverse writers were really just like "imagine a world like ours, but kinkier and gayer and hornier and with fewer showers." And they were right to say it!!

Spent hours yesterday putting together a list of movies to watch before the end of the year, then proceeded to ignore it and marathon a bunch of the exceedingly dumb crime show All Her Fault instead.

[The recovered journal ends here, though it's not known exactly whether Valerie succumbed to the unspecified plague that fell upon her house or died as a result of the harsh clime that surrounded her. Or maybe she was eaten by a pigeon.]

I've never felt more like a Dear America protagonist than right now, making a humble mash of peanut butter, sunflower seeds, and expired naan for our backyard birds since I find myself too sickly and without funds available to travel into town for the appropriate nourishment. Winter is upon us, and-

Ooh, thanks, Insomnia isn't one I hear tons about. The man has been so inexplicably problematic for 50+ years so i won't hold it against you if you forgot something! I currently have The Dead Zone and Christine queued up, but might need a brief King break after Revival.

My review of Sociopath by Patric Gagne. 1.5 stars, "I support sociopath rights but girl you are just a narcissist."

Don't forget to be my pal on Storygraph, bookworms. app.thestorygraph.com/profile/valett

Finished the book! The end of the 5th ep of Midnight Mass certainly made me feel the same way as the end of Revival, so that would've been a good match.

Jesus. Y'all were not wrong about the end of Revival.

Ooh, thank you!!

And also not knowing which of the newer ones are good because I get all my King recs from my mom and she always forgets which ones she's read

List of stephen king books from the 90s

This question is brought to you by me realizing I've somehow never finished a King book written between 1990 and 1998.

Good list! I'm hoping to finally tackle 11/22/63 soon.

So what I'm hearing is you're a fake fan? Kidding, thanks for always weighing in on my King Qs. I'm reading Revival now with no idea what to expect!

Horror readers: name your favorite Stephen King book from each decade.

💙 sending so much love

I always hesitate to talk about my freaky vax reactions in case it fuels anti-vax agendas, but I think the opposite should be true. It's a point towards the safety of vacc*nes that I can feel whack as hell after a shot, but even my rare, weird side effects can be explained and easily treated.

If anyone else out there deals with benign fasciculation (muscle twitches and jolts) after getting vacc*nes, try taking magnesium and loading up on vitamins both in the weeks leading up to the shot and the day of! Doing so cut my personal twitchy time down from a week or two to less than two hours.

Full disclosure: a couple of these were £2.99! Treat yourself.
