I appreciate when my idols have pretty long hair as a special favor to me personally.

Watching a movie [sequel to a drama] and the theme through a bunch of different plotlines is basically "Liking things/people is both a wonderul thing & a struggle," and that is very [too?] real.

Tragic that my sister is busy having fun on her travels when I need someone to have strong figure skating opinions with (which we've been doing since like 1992). I have so very many opinions.

I miss having privacy on the internet. It feels like things keep getting worse and worse on that front.

My favorite thing in the Olympics is people/teams who, while the favorites fight over gold & silver, are just absolutely thrilled to win bronze.

I only ever color with my niblings but it makes me understand why adult coloring books are a thing. It's kind of relaxing.

Got to have the fun parent experience of entertaining a child who is sick enough to stay home but not too sick to want to play (while also sick myself). Good times.

Every time I watch American broadcasts of the Olympics, I'm like "I'm not nearly patriotic enough for this..."
I'll cheer for Americans if I like watching them, but I have zero patience for "OMG TEAM USA!! You want to hear all about the Americans all the time, right????"

Got myself an accidental private showing of Fellowship of the Ring, which really is great in its full theater glory (especially the soundtrack). I'm glad I managed to catch it before the reairing finished.

I have my own family to remember, but if you don't (or even if you do), this is good.
There are so many names here, and so, so many more to be remembered. 🕯Light a candle for someone?

Me watching a jdrama about a kpop group with Japanese, Korean & Thai members: There is an unrealistic lack of confusing language soup happening when the members talk among themselves...
(I love multilingual language soup, & some kpop groups are great for that.)

Sounds like fun? I'll definitely skip some of these but I don't expect 30 likes anyway.
I agree with the dragon lady, we need a little livejournal prompt posting for morale

The physical therapy AI also says my name (poorly) way more often than any human PT or generally normal person ever has. It comes off as very smarmy salesperson/con artist, which I guess is kind of what AI is.
I'm doing basically human-directed AI physical therapy (because it's free) and man, I really do not need the friendly AI voice to tell me "she" can't wait to see my progress. You're not a person and I don't want you to pretend you are.

Love these YT Music ads proudly telling me that if I give them money, I can listen to music while offine, using other apps, or with my screen locked. My mp3 (et al) collection lets me do all of that for free!

My dad is a having a procedure over the next 2 days that isn't super dangerous but does have some risk, and I've been weirdly chill about it, but now that it's tomorrow, suddenly my brain is like, "Oh, yes, I should be nervous about this."
