Rest of the Weekly Log 2 (Tues-Fri)
I'm too lazy to put my shit takes on social media, so here you go.
Tuesday
- I love the formatting of the below two posts and kind of hope to incorporate that into my own.
- Jess Driscoll
- BLCKDGRD - warning super political
- These posts hit and I want to share them
- Just be Mad from Mei's Diary - Ugh I relate to not so great emotional regulation.
- the woman that blogs about you from woolgathering - My parents were not as cool, but this was a cool life story to read.
- [Rant] A disposable world - honestly I just loved the strength of this blogger's voice
- # [08] The Adventures of Chameleon Girl from Aiyo Rama! - This hit hard. I've never been to either of my parent's origin countries and I'm not sure there is a point. I'm too Westernized, yet also a shitty westerner. Maybe I should post about that one day...
- father's day from diary of my hunger - melancholic, involves a passed away father
- I'm feeling itchy for travel. I'm not even a hiker but I'm watching random hiking videos and vlogs. And I'm jealous. Like, they hike for a few months straight. That's wild to me. Not having to do my 9-5 for a few months and enjoying the fresh air sounds lovely.
Wednesday I felt like shit, that is all.
Thursday
- I binged through four years of Gunnerkrigg Court, a freely available online webcomic. I'm falling back in love with it. I had a rough time post Chapter 70: Dealing with Her. But honestly, it wrapped up pretty well. I might do a whole reread with a blog/zine thoughts/retrospective, its been awhile.
- I'm also current again with No End, a queer zombie apocalypse webcomic.
- Some music I'm listening to. Some chill instrumental albums to vibe to:
- I wasn't the biggest Dragon Ball/Dragon Quest fan, but its still weird and sad that Toriyama won't design future characters or expand upon DBS Hero. Also what's happening to Daima and the rest of Super?
- So i just watched this animated documentary short calledUr Heinous Habit (warning NSFW). Its based on those poorly spelt bitcoin blackmail emails threatening to send a video of you masturbating to your contacts. It inspired the film maker to ask randoms on the internet about their experiences with the email and masturbation in general. Its a fun take on the topic and really made me think about my own relationship with masturbation.
Friday
- “Ruben Leaves” By Frederic Siegel - Ruben goes to work. But did he lock the front door? Is the stove really turned off..?
- This got under my skin. Especially when I was younger, I got incredibly anxious about things like if I locked the doors or turned off the stove, etc. I'd have to check multiple times. Glad I am on medicine now. I love the colors and very fluid animation, along with the building sense of tension.
- I went to look at the Chrono Cross page on steam due to the sale (I'm curious about the game), and its a million RIP Toriyama comments with even some ascii art. Wild.
- I watched Hell House LLC for free on tubi.tv. Its not perfect but it hit all my sweet spots. Mannequin/doll horror, found footage, no terrible 3D, a run down setting... Also there are three more movies in the series. I hope it pans well, I'm planning to watch the rest.
