My cat LOVES to curse, it's a thing
Apr. 17th, 2025 10:06 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Muezza wanted to go to sister's apartment to use her litterbox:
Me: *opens the door* there. Go. Shit.
Mom: CRANTZ
Me: It's okay, I was saying it to the cat
Mom: She's a good Christian cat!
Me: She really isn't
I need to do a deep clean in my room. Debating watching The Harlow Murder Club with Elly instead. We thought it was an episodic murder mystery but goddamnit it's a four episode season over an overarching plot. We need to finish it before the month is up so I don't have to pay for another month of bbc select.
I've been walking again now that the weather doesn't want to kill me and I forgot how good it was for my brain. Probably the only point I didn't want to throw myself off a ravine yesterday was the walk.

Life advice you can use

Looking for a good time?

- Gloster Canary
- Viscacha (I mean the mountain one, but the plains one has much to recommend it)
- Tibetan Fox
I've gotten onto a new little bit of entertainment after seeing advice that to draw a medieval cat, all you do is draw a regular cat and give it a human face. So I did it with my cat and found it to be acceptable. And then I did a large portion of the cast of HamsterBandit Industries and giggled madly at the resulting Elly the Elephant and I'll be doing more later. Look forward to seeing medieval Guineamom.
I've passed my courses for this term and now I only require one more religion 200 course to get my degree. I'm an anthropology major/religion minor!
I get to register for my next courses on the 29th. I'm either going to be taking drug-induced spirituality or Buddhism.

We said goodbye to Harvey today. It was very peaceful and very quick. He has been slowing down for a few months, but on Tuesday he was normal and on Wednesday morning he stopped eating. We took him to the emergency vet yesterday, who warned us there was no hope. He had declined even between then and going to our regular vet this afternoon, but I'm confident he wasn't in any pain or discomfort.
He was a terrible cat, and I miss him

Behold... Thonk, Esquire. Grave orc. Barrister. Animist ghost summoning guy. 42 years old and spending time with beautiful anime boys, a loot goblin*, and a giant talking bear.
I finally got to say the 'my ghosts don't know shit' line last night after absolutely failing a perception roll while listening to ghosts of the many many dead in the castle we're in last night.
( Comic about how we somehow did not hear every single other person on our floor being killed by assassins/ogre/frost giant during the night )
School news: In the course I've gotten a grade back for, A+ which is a nice surprise because I thought I'd completely muffed the project! I got 30/30 on it though, weirdly.
Movie news: Saw
- Miracle Mile (whoa nelly)
- Starship Troopers (viewing it as in-universe fiction from another universe was a great idea. I really liked it as that)
- Live and Die In LA (Grissom no! I know what his penis looks like now so I guess I get some of Sara's ideas)
- Princess Arete (A solid fairytale with pretty low affect for an anime)
- Appointment with Death (decent Poirot, had Lauren Bacall, Carrie Fisher, and Hayley Mills but some really out of the blue added classism)
- Masters of the Universe (NOT an origin movie, basically went 'MY NAME IS HE-MAN AND I'M NOT EXPLAINING SHIT. HERE'S A GUN'. Loved it)
- Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Solid, not sure why Mycroft was played by Christopher Lee but he did a good job, source of me discovering that Queen Victoria was a little person)
- Look Back (50 minute movie that needed the final 30 minutes desperately)
- RoboCop (another fascist movie with co-ed sexless showering scenes from the same director. Also really liked, but experienced minor alarm when I couldn't tell when the sci-fi dystopia was starting)
- Blow Out (I made a horrible joke that immediately came true in the last scene. Moss says I am the lathe of heaven)
- The Wicker Man (it's a fucking musical! I loved seeing Christopher Lee skipping merrily along)
- Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop (Very cozy mystery movie, in the old sense of cozy for books not the new sense, and surprised it never got more in the series like it clearly intended. But basically Batman if he'd gone into academia instead and also Alfred was the American)
- Fargo (That Escalated: The movie)
- She Done Him Wrong (Mae West had a lot in common, behaviour wise, with the portrayal of Sherlock in Private Life of Sherlock Holmes)
- Independence Day ("They'll never let you go to space if you marry a stripper" I'm glad he married her anyway.)
- The Blair Witch Project (oh my god this list got long. Uh uh. Well, it filled in some cultural holes and I absolutely love that they visibly cheered up once Josh died, despite still being stuck in the woods)
Okay! That was my much longer than expected movie list! I was going through my 'watch again?' list on prime. There were more like Poseidon Adventure, Josie and the Pussycats, Girlbusters, Moonstruck, MIB, Christine, etc, but I'm out of will.
ALSO Christine the movie about the car what kills inspired me to create some sequels. Which upon posting these to a chat, someone started ranting about Hollywood being creatively bankrupt until I went 'these are clearly made up. By me' and he went 'oh'. I need paid to be in chatrooms sometimes, I swear.

*bird person.
Murderbot (AppleTV+ 2025)
Apr. 10th, 2025 08:33 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
The trailer for the Murderbot TV series is out, and I'll be honest: it gives me the ick. Like, I've blocklisted the word "Murderbot" on my social media, blocked Martha Wells so I don't see her promotional posts in my timelines, and I'm thinking of giving my books away.
Which is absolutely an overreaction, so I'm sitting on my hands for now, but it has powerful "we have completely captured everything you imagined, except it's white, cis, male and incredibly cheap looking".
AppleTV+ generally produces quite decent-to-good sci-fi, so I assume this will be watchable, but so far it looks generic and boring.
Semi-related, but I did wind up creating a little newsletter where I talk about the TV I've been watching, with an option for other media as the mood strikes me. I have 16 subscribers! You could be the 17th!
