Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I’m currently grappling with my tendency to put the most negative spin possible on all things pertaining to me, so this seems like a good exercise. I am, totally unrelatedly, coming up empty tho. 😂 (I have been collecting a lot of compliments on my skating outfits lately)
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

I understand why but i can’t believe how much Christmas music I’ve already heard this year - now on fairytale of New York 😂😂😂

I think if I’m determined to ice skate at this time of year I’m going to have to make my peace with the Christmas music. 😂 That said, Bill Nighy’s “Christmas all Around” (from Love Actually), or whatever it’s called, is meant to be a joke on so many levels. Not played apparently sincerely. 😂

This this this - hey @usuallyhats.bsky.social maybe we could do a household dramatic reading together every night - would trying for welsh accents be offensive? 😂

I knew about the lot and the clothes but not the dating or the hanging out at Luke’s Diner, I’m DELIGHTED. 😍
Not the same, but I love that outfits were shared between the Gilmore Girls and Friends.

Wicked: For Good was really good <3 I feel like I’ve watched so many movie musicals fumble the pass somehow, I can’t believe this is the one that hit it out of the park, I’m so pleased, and full of feelings, and excited to rewatch both parts many, many times

I’m prepping to go see Wicked: For Good tonight by rewatching Wicked 1. (I actually rewatched it yesterday, today is with Cynthia and Ariana’s commentary.) I’m a bit of an exposed nerve right now anyway for Reasons and is this helping? Like hell it is.

But also having finished the #perpetualvorkosigansreread for the time being (it is, after all, perpetual) I am now at a loss for what to read next. 😂

By and large the adventures in ADHD medication have continued great but I’m also developing a long list of things they never promised to help me with in the first place cuz they’re stimulants, not miracle pills. 😂
