Bleh. After yesterday’s nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.
Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope it’s only an minor strain and not anything serious.
It’s a day of keeping warm and resting today.
My brain is mush. Reading in bed and early night I think.
I wish, I have so much to do. Gotta finish cleaning up the cat bathroom , got a few loads of washing to fold and put away, pies to make for dinners and lunches and I want to start on my sewing.
1 doz pies made. That’s good for a few days and then I can freeze some too
I was gonna go places and do things today, but then I realised bed is warm and decided “nah”
Oooof we ikea’d mightily today. I got fuck all done around the house
I’m going to watch Inside Out 2 tomorrow, I’ve decided. To prepare I just rewatched Inside Out at home and honestly every time I fall in love with it all over again. It’s one of the best ever films I’ve watched, period.
This is no mere kid’s film, it’s a goddamn psychology class and therapy rolled into one. It brings me to tears, every time (and this must be the fifth time at least). And every time i notice new details, and events of the film have new meaning…
rambling because seriously guys i love this film
This is the first time I’ve watched it post lockdown and I was honestly ugly crying at the point when Joy realises Sadness needed to take over. I mean i cry at that point every time anyway (also when Sadness sits next to Bing Bong and just listens). But this time it hit so much harder after the huge events of past years: the loss of friends, the irreversible life changes, isolation, the realisation that some joyful parts of the past are truly over and can’t drive us any more, and have to be let go to move on to new joy, the sadness taking over happy memories, the rebuilding of new networks by letting emotions blend, and of course one of the big morals of the story - don’t keep trying to push through and be happy all the time, embrace the difficult feelings or everything starts breaking down. Deny sadness and you get locked out of your brain with depression.
This film has meant so much to me over the years because I’ve always been Sadness - Negative Nelly, Debbie Downer, the character in the film to a tee - and both hated and defended that fact fiercely growing up. This was honestly the first film that gave me the permission to embrace it and be proud of it - especially the mum having Sadness running the show with empathy, it was the first time I truly understood who I could become rather than forcing myself to be someone else.
I can’t get over how the creators weaved these personal experiences we’ve all had and actual psychological concepts into such vivid, coherent, playful imagery that doesn’t just track as a very entertaining kid’s adventure film but also as an incredibly creative and powerful metaphoric film for all ages. I could watch it every year til I die, honestly.
Of course I don’t have such high hopes for the sequel. But I can’t not watch it when the original means so much to me. ❤️🩹
so many hugs, just reading your experience made me cry
It’s on my watchlist now💗
I really feel you on this so, so much. I loved the first movie too, which I watched when it came out. I want to watch the 2nd one, but I just know that I won’t be able to cope if I watch it with where I’m at at the moment
Apparently Spotify has launched a new cheaper tier. It’s billed annually and not monthly. Works out to be the same price as it was before they upped the price again last month. $155 a year ($12.99 a month). The only difference besides the annual billing is that it doesn’t include audiobooks
I don’t care for the audiobook thing, especially considering the audiobooks aren’t unlimited. So if I can scrounge up the annual fee, I might switch
You know the house is too cold when a shower makes your fingers & toes feel like they caught fire. Surprised the bathmat hasn’t grown moss. Must finish this mortgage paperwork and escape!
cold. Bill Cat crawled in the big humans bed
Today is United Nations Public Service Day, and International Widows Day
hey all 😀
I saw a friend’s possum that she feeds , it was so cuuute
The ringies live in a tree next to my house and when I’m feeling down I like to sit outside and watch them scurry around. Sometimes they jump onto the roof and patter about right above me
I’ve never fed them, but I do occasionally feed the maggies that also live in that tree, so I think the possums heard I’m a friendly
That’s a rather interesting error… Task failed successfully, I guess.
All’s well that ends well
The aliens are in control of the daily thread! Well, they probably know what they’re doing.
In other news the cat is cuddly. What a baby
Cat tax please 🙏
Oh man, I’m going through it.
Melbcat is having a rough go of it, the cold has flared her arthritis but the nausea from antibiotics means she won’t eat her meals with her regular pain meds in.
She’s been having shots of both pain/anti nausea medication at the vet to break the cycle and I’m giving wafers/liquid meds orally every 12 hours at home. She’s now eaten a little bit twice and takes treats but is still refusing almost every wet meal.
Me, I’ve got some serious health stuff going on and am deeply pissed off about it
Moon pretty. And very bright. And shining through my window onto my face.

After seeing the trailer for Beetlejuice 2 I have a gut feeling I’m going to be underwhelmed.
Oh I watched the first one with my mum many years ago when I was going through a horror phase. I was not a fan. Also watched a replay of a really old movie along a similar vein at the drive ins a few years ago. Can’t remember what it was called, but weird people broke down in the bush and then they broke into a house and weird people started singing or something like that. I didn’t like that one either. Horror has to be horror for me, no horror comedy
I enjoyed the first one. I wouldn’t describe Beetlejuice as horror. Not strictly anyway. Maybe fantasy comedy with a splash of horror.
That second one sounds like it could be a description of Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is not really horror but definitely involves weird people singing.
THATS THE ONE! Google listed it (and still lists it) as a horror/musical, although I agree, didn’t really get the “horror” aspect. But I zoned out about 30 minutes in, so I definitely missed most of it
