i fear the day MY casual + personal l*tterboxd reviews go viral for disliking many movies 😂 one time i wrote a hate review for my bias’s movie and for a while succeeding reviews were being passive-aggressive about it 😂 i’m sure fellow fans on twt hate me too w/c is why i quit celebrity fandom 😂
love how “lacking media literacy” has become such a popular and generic insult that ppl who in fact lack media literacy themselves are using it as a gotcha against other ppl whose opinions simply don’t align with theirs

worked myself up to unnecessary panic bc i thought that april was ending this week 😂
march 25 quote: “i feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread”
april 8 quote: “hobbits have a passion for mushrooms”
april 10 quote: “stone rings grinned out of the ground, line broken teeth in the moonlight” meeting tom bombadil, who is super old and OP unrelatedly i had an overly sweet red bean croissant and an excellent matcha-earl gray drink
april 12 quote: “the night was railing against the morning of which it was bereaved, and the cold was cursing the warmth for which it hungered” the quote is accompanied by a sticker of a skull with a crown which is relevant to the chapter i’m in. unrelated, i ate a bag of tamarind candy and finished reading A Small Place
reading log: the fellowship of the ring (mar 25—apr 12)

Painting of two chipmunks canoeing down a still creek with overhanging trees covered in lichen and spanish moss reflecting upon the water. A small bird sits on one of the branches for scale
A painting of a rabbit in a cloak wandering through a clearing into a dense patch of trees. The light shines across the clearing at a 45 degree angle, cutting the inage into about half light and dark

stopped by Lily Seika Jones' new exhibit at Nucleus today. Was blown away by some of these larger paintings and the framing choice (gallerist didnt know where the frames were from so if anyone knows her and wants to ask for me I'd be much obliged)

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you
i am now halfway through 成何體統 | How Dare You!? (drama) AND 秋雪漫過的冬天 | Loving Strangers... and hopefully Legend of Mana 😅
STOP you're making me want to continue glass heart

saw someone benignly ask “how are you doing these AI voices?” under a post and felt offended on OP’s behalf bc their voicework and their video editing were particularly *chef’s kiss*
if there’s anything i appreciate about the streamer drama it’s the wave of people reading/voicing out shitposts. like yes more of that on the internet bc i can’t stand AI voices 🙏
i was reading a predictably mid w*btoon and was like “wow i can’t believe ppl on the internet were unironically glazing this piece of badly written idfic” but it turns out i was reading a whole other thing with a similar premise 😂
having the most unproductive week, but my dreams have been plenty, eventful, and thrilling without going into horror territory… the most exciting part of my life really is sleep 🤣
a mosquito shamelessly left me a conspicuous bite on my throat like what are you a vampire

it’s super annoying how if i don’t do mobility-focused exercises on a daily basis i get sharp twinges when i move even slightly wrong 🤪
crying over WHA hours (anime version)
i can’t believe the only thing standing between me and debilitating anxiety lately is a string of trashy het w*btoons. i think the idea is to numb my brain with the sheer STUPIDITY of some of these storylines 😭😭😭
obv not saying that anyone who journals is insane, just me, specifically lol
