What's that blog that goes over ridiculously expensive magazine christmas kitsch? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I made this illustration of Serenity a while ago. I was inspired by the elegant and beautiful watercolors of Naoko Takeuchi, since I was a little girl I have always admired her ethereal style.

Same with the Marvel movies diluting their brand with too many releases/over-saturation and multiverse nonsense, only being able to get the full story by watching all the TV shows of side characters, and characterization being inconsistent between movies... like its a never-ending crossover event.

Comic book movies have gone full comic book. Have for a while now.

watching WB keep resetting dc movies' universe every three years because they don't have a backbone to go full in with one iteration used to irk me but i've come to realize it's the most literal comics experience you can get on the big screen

That can't be right, can it? the 2000's weren't THAT long ago??

Recently watched

Russian Doll- got recommended this by a few people a long time ago, heard it get good reviews... I made it 3 episodes in before I gave up. It has an interesting concept (woman dying over and over, each time returning to the same birthday party to start again and try and make different choices), but I just don't find the characters likeable. I can watch flawed and messed up people, but there's gotta be at least one character I can really root for to get invested. Or as my boyfriend (who was watching it with me) put it "Whiny New Yorkers, they were grossing me out"

Dandadan- recommended by an anime-loving co-worker. Made it one episode in. Reminded me too much of FLCL, with how hyperactive it was, plus the aliens. AND the girl looks so much like Mamimi. And I've already seen FLCL and have it on DVD.

Heretic (movie)- this both me and my boyfriend liked. Although it took me a second viewing to really get it. A religious horror movie where no one gets possessed by the devil, and Hugh Grant plays a certified creep rather than a fumbling romantic lead. The trailers made it look like there was much more to the maze and puzzles than there were.... but on second viewing, I think that's a big part of the point rather than a flaw. This guy really thinks he's much more clever and profound than he really is, and underestimates his victims' intelligence.

When I was out the other day, my boyfriend decided to surprise me by cleaning my bedroom and "writing" a messege on my sequin pillow.

He also bought me the Hello Kitty mermaid plush a few months ago, the rest you see here I bought myself, but he lovingly arranged. :)

Had to take a picture because I very rarely make my own bed and tend to nest in it like a rat lol. Also, not trying to brag or lord it over anyone unlucky in love, just want to commemorate the nice moments in life. (Before 2024, I was single for well over a decade... so lemme have this!)

Thank goodness we were out of bread

An irl "slice of life" story if you will *badum-tish* :

Didn't make it to work today due to allergies. I went to the urgent care after work yesterday because I've had a sore throat, earache, and itchy eyes for 2 weeks. Tested for all the virus/bacteria//etc.... all negative. But the inside of my throat did look red and scraped raw, as if someone went at it with a cheesegrater. So they put me on some allergy meds and told me it would take 3 days before I started feeling better... offered me a note to stay out of work, didn't take the note, shoulda! shoulda! (I am already starting to feel a little better, I think its a combo between the dust and grime at work and secondhand smoke from my dad... wish his brothers would stop buying him and bringing him cigs, argh)

Did drop my boyfriend off and then pick him up though. After I wanted to go to the craft store to pick up fabric markers (I was looking up how to dye doll hair, and it seems to be the least messy way to turn it black). And he needed to go to the grocery store because he was out of bread.

Halfway through grocery shopping a woman said "Charlene ? Do you remember me?"

And the face was familiar but I couldn't place it. Then she said "Danielle, from highschool. It's been 20 years" It was so happily shocking! I had wanted to hear from my friends from the art club for so long..... I had given up (but also still refuse to join facebook).

We had fallen out of contact sometime in college. I always felt if I got my life together, was smart enough, made enough money, was more impressive.... I could "earn" back the HS friends I lost and missed. I got mad whenever anyone would bring up that they were still in contact and hung out with friends from HS and judged me because I didn't. Finally, finally! Not only is she still around, but so are 2 others from the club (well one is in NH)

Maybe my life is inching slowly into getting better, into being the life I want it to be. Having a boyfriend. Friends back. *crosses fingers*

Also, we were the class of 2000. Such a big deal was made of us, from elementary school until graduating highschool. We were SPECIAL, the SHINY FUTURE, as long as we studied hard went to college and worked hard, we COULD BE ANYTHING WE WANTED TO BE... and earn a million dollars doing it (so they told us)

And it was a relief to hear that none of the old crew, despite all being honors students... ended up being what they wanted to be. Danielle is not a lawyer and ended up in marketing, Dave is not in California on a film crew he's a townie doing ????, and Dipali is in New Hampshire also doing who knows what... Derek did his bathroom over using pennies for tiles and that sounds about right for him, and I work at a shipping company warehouse and collect and customize dolls and make watercolor comics.

My boyfriend is worried he'll come off like a loser to my friends, but hey, at least he played in a bunch of bands in Boston, and one time the Mighty Mighty Bosttones were the opening band for the band he was in at the time, rather than the other way around!

Sure, my nerdy art friends will have never heard of the bands he was in (I hadn't either, until he pointed out one of them got used in skateboarding videos a lot... and there was one tenuously in my group... a boyfriend of a friend of Danielle's, that was a skater, but that guy, Linsen, PURPOSELY cut off ties from the rest of us because he wanted to be a serious businessman after HS, so whatever. but Linsen made me watch a skater video with him once, so I did recognize that one song, but it was NOT one of the songs my boyfriend played bass on)

So yeah! yeah! We're ALL losers doing the best we can in this crappy world, all making our own art, design, film, music, and whatnot on the side of our day jobs, jobs that are not what we studied and/or trained for, but ones we just sorta ended up in.

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??
