New Release x2 [Sep. 3rd, 2023|01:33 am]
[Tags|, , , , ]
[Current Mood |tired]

I watched two new releases on the same day! I feel a weird sense of accomplishment about it, LOL.


  1. I watched You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah with my mom. Adam Sandler and his family (wife and two daughters) are in it and it mostly centers around his younger daughter, who's turning 13. Sarah Sherman plays a Hebrew school teacher and I thought her wacky sense of humor added a lot! Overall, it was worth watching, but I wouldn't watch it again. Check it out on Netflix if you want.


  2. Todd Barry: Domestic Shorthair, I watched with J later that day. Now this was more my speed! I was howling with laughter at points! Todd Barry is so fucking funny. He has a great comedy style, a sort of dry sense of humor that I love. It's free on YouTube, it's less than an hour, and you're guaranteed a giggle, so check it out:

Computers & Early Internet [Oct. 30th, 2022|12:26 am]

As if I haven't been posting enough lately, LOL. But I just got this idea to write about my childhood and growing up with computers and the internet and all that. I just thought it would be... fun to elaborate on my comment replying to [personal profile] shadowbliss.

I've been using computers since I was just a tot! I'm actually not sure our house has ever been without a computer. By the time I was old enough, I was playing games on my mom's computer and my dad's computer (divorced). They were both pretty interested in new technology and still are actually. I'm pretty sure this is what we had (or something very similar!).

...then eventually the internet was available! I'm the youngest in the family, and I know my parents and older sisters all had email addresses before I did, and they had penpals, mailing lists they were a part of, etc. But I didn't get my own email address until maybe age 11 or 12 (still too young, given that meant I also had access to all those chatrooms, instant messaging, etc...)

I don't blame my parents because it was such a new thing that there wasn't really a precedent of parents talking to their kids about things like online predators. I don't recall either of them sitting me down and being like, "Don't IM with strangers, don't give out your phone number, etc." It's possible they did, but maybe they just didn't drill it into me enough, LOL.

Anyway, my first memories of the internet came before I even had my personal AOL account! The earliest memories I have of the internet are with my sisters. We would surf the web together, looking at fansites for our favorite bands. Those are some good memories. :o)




Speaking of our favorite bands:

Re: Announcement From My Favorite Band, Pulp's reunion tour is UK only... for now at least! I'm still holding out hope that they'll at least get as close to me as NYC! I'm still thinking about asking Mom for a loan to go see them overseas though... Tickets all go on sale on 11/04... I really can't decide whether to talk to her about it or not. I may hold out for US dates, but IDK that could be a mistake... :o\

I really wish all three of us sisters could all go together! Hey, a girl can dream...

Belle & Sebastian is coming to our city though, so the part of the family that's here will go to that together, I think (I hope)! Mom, J, and I don't have our tickets yet though. Hopefully, they aren't selling out as I type this, damn... Better get on it.

That's all for now. Have a happy Halloween if I don't write again before November!

UFC Dreams [Oct. 28th, 2022|05:52 pm]

Last night I dreamed that I wanted to be a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fighter. I wanted to be known as "Betsy the Beast," LOL! But of course, in the real world these fighters don't give themselves nicknames, but earn them from others...

Anyway, there was a buff, jock dude who was gatekeeping and saying, "You're not fit to be a fighter, you're too old and fat," etc. And then there was a buff, black woman with lots of tiny braids pulled back into a ponytail, who was encouraging me to exercise and get in shape so I could do it! Telling me, "it's not too late!" It felt good having her stand up for me.




In reality, it is too late! After all, I'm pushing 40 and fucking obese.

But I wish I would've gotten into sports when I was younger. Whenever J watches UFC, I think, That could've been me... Since I'm quite tall and big-boned, I feel I could've been a successful fighter. Although I was somewhat physically fit when I was younger, I don't know if I had the right mindset for fighting. I believe it takes a lot of nerve. Basically, you have to be cool with getting punched in the face multiple times! I was just too fragile back then...

While my dad was a star athlete in high school, my mom was not at all sporty! The three of us girls weren't really encouraged to get into sports.

If I recall correctly, being on the girls' basketball team in the 4th grade was my idea. That and a few karate lessons around the same time period were the extents of my sports career. I don't believe my older sisters participated in sports, aside from what was required of them in gym class, of course. I really can't imagine either of them being into that sort of thing!

But yeah... Maybe in another life, or a parallel dimension or something!

Hamantaschen for Mischpocha [Mar. 16th, 2022|07:32 pm]

Mom and I made hamantaschen today! We made them with cherry filling, and my favorite, mohn (poppy seed) filling. We used this recipe, and tbh they were just ok, but it's kind of a cheat recipe, so what was I expecting? Next time, I'll insist we try this one. Anyway, she's going to take them around to all our family and friends tomorrow.

Here's a photo of our hamantaschen, aren't they pretty? Even if they were rather bland in taste. This photo happens to be mostly the cherries and just a couple mohn up at the top there.



I got so wrapped up in writing about my life and things, that I forgot about Daily Questions for 2022 for well over a week!

Deep Qs under the cut! )

Thrifted a Jazzie doll for $2 the other day! She's the "Cool Teen Cousin of Barbie"! I was overjoyed because I've always wanted a Jazzie! I think I have High School Jazzie. She didn't come with any clothes but seems to be in really good condition with her original rubber bands in her hair (though they are brittle since this is a 30-ish-year-old doll!). I love her even though she looks like Jennifer Lawrence to me! LOL does anyone else see a resemblance or am I a weirdo?

I've been playing my mom's ukelele for the past two days! It's actually been great fun! I'm getting to know a few songs, the one I'm best at (i.e. the easiest one) being "Hellhole Ratrace" by Girls. I love the song. I've never seen the video, so I can't vouch for that! I'm sure it's fine.

Take Me to BabyLand! [Feb. 3rd, 2020|01:57 pm]

While on the subject of road trips, here's another destination on my list:

BabyLand General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia



I've been wanting to visit BabyLand General Hospital ever since Shannon Shaw posted about it online. It's so cute, and it's free admission! Apparently the place even smells of Cabbage Patch Kids!! Does anyone else remember that sort of powdery, plastic-y smell they had? It was just lovely.

I actually thrifted a vintage Cabbage Patch Kid in excellent condition not too long ago... She was only $3 at Goodwill! She's African American with brown yarn hair in pigtails (complete with little yellow ribbons), and came dressed in CPK jeans, a yellow and white tee-shirt, a yellow jacket with CPK logo, and even little white tennis shoes!



A funny Cabbage Patch Kids story from my childhood behind the cut!

Eeeeee I wanna go to BabyLand General Hospital!! I'd like to like how I look by then because talk about a great photo op!!

1) If you could be either a fish or a bird, which would you be, and why?
A fish... It's like a whole different world under there with all the weird creatures and whatnot!

2) Would you rather it be 10 degrees too hot or 10 degrees too cold? (Does your answer change if that’s indoors or outdoors?)
I'd rather it be too cold, and bundle up in blankets! My answer doesn't change.

3) What is the best thing that happened to you today?
I got to babysit my niece, pick up my mom from the airport, and hang out with my BF!

4) Is youth wasted on the young? (Follow-up: are you old or young?)
Absolutely! I'm in my thirties - not old, not young.

5) Pasta salad or potato salad?
Tuna salad - on a sandwich. My favorite!
