Film
- Anaconda (2025) - Meh, okay. Almost watched this in the cinema when it came out, glad I didn't.
- Abigail (2024) - Dance-fighting child killer vampire. That's new.
Games
- Stardew Valley - currently in Fall 25, Year 1 on my fourth major save
- Lost in Play - I'm about halfway through the episodes, I think
Internet videos
TV
- The X-Files Season 4 Episodes 1-7
- Episode 01 - Bro the shift in MSR writing is SO distinct. All of a sudden Mulder is so touchy and looks at Scully with YEARNING in his eyes? As he should! Also, it's been months since I last watched Season 3 that I kind of forget the bigger mystery concerning Mulder's sister now.
- Episode 02 - Weird. But typical X-Files weird.
- Episode 03 - Weird in a bad way! This is the most nonsensical and dare I say racist episode in the entire series so far.
- Episode 04 - Okay, we're back with the good X-Files episodes! I know Mulder's conspiracies is basically his personality but seriously imagine working with someone like him. Scully's patience is astronomical.
- Episode 05 - Kristen Cloke acting is impressive. I'm starting to dislike Mulder more and more.
- Episode 06 - Love the parallel between modern medicine and witchcraft but the motive felt a little... premature.
- Episode 07 - I love this episode so much. The ambiguity, the characterization (esp young CSM!), the angst? I love how they told it in a "could be true, could be not" narrative from Frohike. Some things were purposely shown to make you think it's all mostly untrue - and then CSM delivers his final line. Damn. I don't believe in everything from Frohike's story but it definitely made me think of CSM as more human.
Songs/Albums/Artists on repeat
- Bloodline - Mon Rovîa
- Carrie & Lowell - Sufjan Stevens
New things I tried:
- Snooze Nook. 10/10 would recommend for my fellow young adults with the bodyache of a 90-year-old
Events
- Monday was a whirlwind - attended an interview, took Haku to the vet, travelled to Manila to meet with friends (🪐, 🚬, etc) and ended up drinking bad Hojicha at Cubao Expo until midnight
- Met with my friends 🧦 and 🪻. Always love catching up with them
- I did my pre-employment requirements and acquired Big Girl IDs (aka those needed in pre-employment)
