slipjig3Not even going to bother numbering the Things, just gonna type until my job makes me resume working:
==> Woke up at stupid o'clock in the morning with a random leg cramp so bad that my howling woke uphypnagogie. It eventually calmed down and we both fell asleep again, but it's two days gone and still sore, although I can finally walk without shambling like a grue. Onward with the Advil and electrolytes.
==> I'm somehow done with Christmas shopping, more or less? Could y'all peek out your windows and see if there's like a plague of locusts or some such? 'Cause that shizz doesn't happen, like, ever.
==> Every year we make a point of watching every Oscar nominated movie in above-the-line categories (picture, director, acting, writing). Given how well The Substance is faring in preliminary awards contention, there's a good chance I'm going to find out which is stronger: my aversion to body horror, or my obsessive completionism. I suspect it's the latter. Hoo boy.
==> Addendum to the above: I did make it through Titane and a few other notables, so I'll probably be okay? Also, it's not like we never bail out of Oscar movies partway, so there is an escape valve. We made it 45 minutes into Blonde before the question of "Why are they subjecting us to this?" morphed into "Wait, why are we subjecting us to this?" and flipped to QI reruns.
I just bit my lip when I sneezed, so the Universe is telling me to wind this up. How's everyone doing?

Date: 2024-12-18 05:02 pm (UTC)I feel you so hard on the leg cramp thing. I don't understand where they come from and why, but I've sometimes had that issue over the course of decades now, and it is I think the worst way to wake up I've ever experienced? I hope to never find a replacement for that award.
Good luck with the movie thing. Uh. I'm pretty sure I have seen literally zero movies that have been released since 2021, so y'know. The concept of the Oscars is all highly theoretical in my world.
