#just z being random

I have been thinking about the show and you guys a lot more, not just because we're approaching the anniversary of the end but because...it seems like LA ties keep popping up everywhere!
I know I haven't been active, but I do like coming back to see you guys on my dash even if I have no idea what you're posting about because I'm not part of those fandoms. I've been debating on coming back more -- or going back to that LOL, Z blog I started just to make sure I keep writing and staying in touch. So, we'll see.
Work has been crazy, and I just took the first actual day(s) off in a good while. I had some rough losses near the end of last year, and then huge project after huge project has meant not just working without days off but also working on my days off. Finally actually took a couple days off and did nothing. And I actually got a good amount of writing done, so now I don't want to go back. (I find I actually do get going a lot quicker if I start by hand, but my joints cramp up soooo quickly. It's always been annoying. ANYWAY.)
What finally prompted this was I was watching last night's SNL, and NCIS:LA got a mention, despite being off the air. (There was a joke about character actors and appearing on arcs on shows with titles that are only letters. There were four spots, and LA was the fourth. IT IS STILL REMEMBERED! But holy crap, how about that Hawai'i turn? Wow. Anyway.)
In the past year, small things have made me think about LA:
-Waking up to an old episode from a syndicated outdoors show (I sleep with the TV on, don't judge me) that featured Gerald McRaney talking about his acting career -- filmed years ago -- and doing outdoors stuff -Spotting Medalion in a small spot on New Girl -Being addicted to Disney Dreamlight Valley when I was redirecting my impulse shopping addiction into cozy gaming (that was basically ADHD-crack because of all the tasks you just have to complete!). How is this relevant? Because the only fish I could seem to catch most of the time? COD! -Todd popping up in new commercials all the time -Getting into Elsbeth and watching CBS shows on Paramount and hearing the little logo music after or before a show and remembering watching LA on the platform a lot towards the end
And I know there are many more, but age + too may back-to-back storms and natural disasters have made my memory even wonkier. (We currently have a joke about our "weekly tornadoes" here. It's funny because it's not completely a joke. Lololol.)
Anyway, I won't lie to say there wasn't some freedom and relief that came with the show's ending. But there are definitely parts of it I miss like you guys.
#just z being random#and z#so that's sort of normal#i actually made progress on that pilot/show I came up with as a half-joke#and then somehow got inspired to write it in prose form#which is what i was writing the other day#and for some reason it's sort of a cozy mystery novel now#but at this rate more of a novella#but anyway#if you need some inspo to get going#just start handwriting#and if you're ever bored and want to read chapters one day of a book that will never get published#about two widowers who meet at a crossword convention and solve a mystery#you just let me know

Overheard someone saying T*re Liy* is the best author in my country and subsequently took psychic damage
#okay so im def not judging anyone who likes his writing#i liked his older writing!#i like his current writing worse bcs i think the guy is starting to burn out BUT that is strictly my personal opinion#to say that he is the best in this area tho??? deadass????? NO#his writing style is stiff and more tell than show. actually. it's mostly tell than show#his dialogue is .... well ... this one is a matter of taste but god his characters cannot just say things normally cant they#his romances dont feel like romance too lets be real for a sec here#like okay if you will be adamant about it alright fine. but maybe try other authors like dee lestari or ziggy z first#sure theyre both flawed too but at least i dont feel like im being seen as third grader when i read their things#luca rambles#random thoughts#vent post

Here’s my Dragon Ball hottake (if it even is one in the fandom idk):
Goku is a better father than Vegeta.
Vegeta is a better husband than Goku.
#it’s my opinion#not saying they bad at the other thing either#vegeta is a decent father he does love his kids tho having a bad time showing it#and goku loves chichi more than anything#I just think fatherhood wise goku is better#and being a good husband is vegeta strength#random thoughts#dragon ball#dragon ball z#dbz#dragon ball super#dbs#son goku#goku#prince vegeta#vegeta

what was your first concert
#exposing myself as a lame gen z-er#but mine was harry styles at his first solo tour in 2018#it was a great concert dont get me wrong I still think his debut album and start of his solo era is his strongest work#hs1 will always have a place in my heart#and I think that 16 is a pretty normal age for a first concert#i just wish it was a cooler answer sometimes lmao#everyday I regret being ashamed of my interests and not asking to see 1d or 5sos like a normal teenage girl#in their prime#they’re so expensive now I don’t get people that can go to like every artist they like#if that’s what you want and can afford to spend money on than sure there’s plenty of people I’d love to see#but have to be picky with it unfortunately and I haven’t been to one in over a year atp#i can’t believe I’ve been around for 3 tøp tours but still haven’t seen them it’s my dream :(#concerts#random blossoms#yapping in the tags

Me rn:
(not mine)
#i'm writing whatever headcanons i have of thomas and ngl thay are quite a few#thing is: these are 50% canon accurate and 50% random things i associated w him after being in the fandom#recently i reblogged someone saying he used he/they pronouns because they hc him as agender#and it just makes sense like it clicked in my brain#in the same way i 100% believe lysander is nonbinary#the versions of them in my head really said NB pride#which means there's probably a pipeline of me liking x y z LI from MCL and then they end up being hc as NB#anywho i'm rambling#also idk why but i'm writing the thomas things in english instead of spanish??? even thought it means double brain power#because my mother language is spanish and i do not consider myself a good writer#so to make matters even worse i write in another language JJAJAJAJA#but i'm enjoying it :3 and there's no way to enjoy things “the right way” everyone's different

Láska za časů státnic
on: "Učíš se ve stresu, tam budeš taky ve stresu, tak se ti to všechno krásně vybaví!"
já, na hraně zhroucení: "Proč zlehčuješ moje utrpení?"
on: "Nic nezlehčuju. Takhle to funguje, to jsou fakta."
já: "Takhle to rozhodně nefunguje, to je blábol."
on, zcela vážně: "Ne, to je ověřená Cimrmanovská úleková fixace."
#láska za časů státnic#cimrmanovská úleková fixace#hláška jak název epizody sitcomu z oboru humanitních věd#občas si říkám že se můj chlapec minul oborem#perly#ft. jára cimrman#jára cimrman#humor#nerd humor#mathematician vs. art historian#he's a weirdo but he's mine weirdo#at this point our life is just this weird early 2000 sitcom#love language#6th love language: being annoying#7th love language: giving away random academia-related facts#čumblr#česky#ramblings#personal#nonsense#student life#student crisis#state exam#master study#master thesis

Z is so unhinged these last few episodes and honestly it's one of the most deeply relatable portrayals of when you're having a total crisis but you still have to keep on trucking (literally, in Neoscum's case) and hold it together and get stuff done but you're not really going to be able to be normal about any of it
#like if I started having visions of my forgotten past where I was killing people as a child soldier then probably I too would be suggesting#insane ill-advised plans and asking if we can kidnap a random parking robot for no reason and flippantly saying secret information in front#of people who aren't supposed to hear it and talking to total strangers about these traumatic past visions as if they're normal/relatable#it's very cool to see the contrast of how insane he's being lately when he's often been a voice of reason for the crew in the past#and how tech has been stepping into that role more lately even before z started acting like a freak#neoscum spoilers#posts from the mynock#neoscum liveblog#like for real if you're wondering what I'm talking about then just go listen to the guest episodes with JPC he's so crazy in those

oh. OH. I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). I definitely fucking have POTS. jesus.
#almost lost consciousness behind the wheel of my car today because i had a random bout of the symptoms being REALLY bad#I’ve never experienced it to that degree before and it was terrifying#and then I’ve been having symptoms ALL DAY.#another thing I’ve never experienced before in my life#it’s been fucking terrifying#and then my roommate said everything I’m describing sounds like POTS#and i finally read the symptoms for it#and everything lines up with what I’ve been experiencing today down to a T.#I guess i just never had too many problems when i was younger because i was always in a position that required physical activity#so my heart’s been pretty healthy#but these past couple years I’ve been SERIOUSLY sedentary#and more and more I’ve been experiencing POTS symptoms#goddammit#deep thoughts by z

also asking for a reference did get me chatting with ex-coworker again which is nice, we’re gonna restart our weekly chats so we can keep up with each other
#my ramblings#I feel like I’ve been juggling a lot with relationship maintenance#but it’s easier when people express interest and make themselves available#it’s like x friend is usually free around these hours and up for random calls during this time#y friend likes being invited over so I can make plans with them#z friend want to do this activity so they’re receptive if I suggest it#AND if timing doesn’t work out they’ll suggest an alternative which means I won’t lose motivation to keep in touch#speaking of I need to remember that a pal wanted to talk this week so I need to see when works for them#also ex coworker’s bday is in a couple weeks and I coincidentally picked something up for her earlier#so that would be a nice gift to drop off#she’s also usually down for me to visit it’s just a long drive 😔

teenagers are always fun and wear fashionable clothes you guys just hate to see the younger generation having fun without you
#writing this to remind me to not hate younger people or younger generation#especially when i get older a few years from now#kinda an out of nowhere rant but i been seeing alots of street interview about fashion with teen or young adults#and it pissed me off so bad seeing all the adults and elder millenials in the comment saying that this generation got trashy taste#trashy taste stealing style from other decade and also they love to be so defensive when someone mentioned that they hate skinny jean#personally i hate skinny jean too as a plus size girlie so its so pleasing seeing many people nowadays kinda go against it now#god please forbid that shit#anyways back to the main thing im saying here is that#fashion is a circle it came back and forth for many years so i dont see any point in the discussion about “gen z fashion is unoriginal”#as in the 70s there was a medival dresses revival trend#and in the 80s mod and 50s house wives dresses made a comeback#fast forward into the early 2010s we saw the hippie style suddenly became fashionable again#(though it was far from the “original hippies” from the 60s)#and now in the 20s y2k became trendy#so i just see no point in being noisy about nowadays fashion being so random#at the end of the day what everyone should do is that we should let whatever people want to wear instead of pointlessly critisizing them#people have different taste in fashion its not so hard to learn abt that espesially for older figures#rant ended please dont read these they are kinda pointless and incoherent since i have been wanting to rant abt fashion for a while#anyways peace#rant

wait oh my god. since im on the topic of music, i want to share that i love jvke songs theyre really catchy and the instrumentals are dream like and heavenly but my god are the lyrics so fucking corny and honestly kinda shallow like look bruh im fucking
#it hurts so so much im fucking crying like metaphors exist bro please#fucking coffee pots bro#like the juxtaposition gives u a huge whiplash because youd be hearing the most beautiful piano piece#you have ever heard in your life and then you get hit with the baby theres no emojis on your name#maybe i got spoiled by other artists that i like and im being super elitist rn but damn idk the lyrics just dont fit with the vibe#its like mozart is playing the music but then he asked some fucking gen z kid to write the lyrics like 😭😭#instrumentals hand crafted by an artisan that has the experience and skill of an ancient god capable of making such fine art#and lyrics that you find lying in a dirty puddle in the corner of some random alleyway at 3 am that looks good enough but is still shit#frambling...?#i have so much to say about this dude

Ughhhhhhh
#I just......wanted to work on some new video editing techniques..........#Spoiler: It went........so fucking bad lol#Like restart my computer because it basically stopped functioning bad#That seems like a non sequitor but believe me getting from A to Z was an awful ordeal#I've been curious for a while if I could sync up my footage to the audio - y'know cut the video up in time with the music! Classic#Normally I'd fall back on WMM but it has this annoying desync glitch(?) where it renders everything correctly but previews it out of time#So trying to line up the visuals to the audio - well I have to restart and listen through everything so far for it to align properly :/#Lightworks is being a bitch as well - I guess it just stopped?? having a feature that it had a couple years ago that controls clip length#So I get random-length clips! That I can't stretch or extend! Y'know - The Thing I need to do!#I also tried Openshot and by about the point the advice had me changing my security settings I noped out#Literally would crash if I tried to import one (1) .png >:P#And I'm not about to give my info to Yet Another freeware like DaVinci Resolve since it went So Well with Lightworks#Didn't stop me from downloading and installing the wrong version for like an hour which Greatly lagged out my computer#And then as said it was the wrong version even if I did have access to it so I wouldn't be able to use it anyway!#How come we have such good opensource video capture and streaming software like OBS#And like LibreOffice for word processing and Audacity for audio and just - so many good opensource programs!#But video editing is a step too far#Ugh#Today's been a wash >:/#At least my uptime is all shiny sparkly new for streaming maybe tomorrow lol#I dunno it depends on how sleep goes - y'know how it is after being frustrated for so long#I really wanted to! I wanted to do a lot of things >:(#I'll see how it all goes#Guess I'm going back to WMM - ugh - once I've properly cooled down and Actually Prepared for the slog#If anyone has any video editing software recommendations I am all ears tho#Obviously not any of the ones mentioned here as they Did Not Work lol#I just want........an intuitive place where I can drag-and-drop images and be able to crop their length up or down to the audio#Hell I'll take a patch for the desync if such a thing exists lol - looks like it's been a problem for like 10 years! Hgg#I just want to Make Thing In Head happen! It is not a lack of will! I am 100% blaming my tools on this one lol#I'm an amateur video editor I have the right to be whiny! I want a tool that isn't hell to operate! JFLHFJKLFHIOSEJF Anyway lol
