My brain: It's winter break!
Me: We still have several assignments to complete by next week.
My Brain: Or we can go to the movies and watch Christmas classics!
Me: NO WE CAN'T, WE HAVE A 15 PAGE PAPER ON SOCIAL REPRODUCTION THEORY! FOCUS!
Just one more week and I'm fucking LIVING at Screenland.

Yeah, I'm also flabbergasted that Sinners didn't make that Rolling Stone "Best Films of 2025" list, but I'm also pretty thrilled that Best Wishes to All got some recognition.

Obligatory spotify wrapped post. The age post was pretty on point, just a couple years off. Lo-fi is only my top post because it's my study music, but the rest is legit.

I don't hate every Tarantino movie I've ever seen, but I definitely hate every Tarantino "hot take" I've ever heard.

"What is wrong with me!?" I scream as I chip away slowly at my homework, unable to fully focus. For 2 hours. Before I remember that I didn't take my ADHD meds this morning.🤦♀️

My limit is 2 near-accidents before I turn my tiny car around and tell my boss I need to work from home. If I needed a sign, as soon as I turned around, a slow plow showed up and guided me home.

Sometimes I think between YouTube, streaming, and my own ineptitude, I've failed to instill a love of movies in my kids like my dad did for me. Then there are days that I tell my son we're going to see Zootopia 2 and he proceeds to sing "Happy Day" while dancing around the house. So not all is lost.

Christmas gift shopping makes me feel 500 years old: "I just don't see how a Barbie doll should ever be more that $20" "Why are half these toy ads fake AI product images? What is the world coming to?" "Was this kids book written by a real person?" "I'm just getting them gift cards. Fuck this."

I'm been neglecting Biscuit's pedicures because he's a big ol baby about it. Today I'm determined to get all the hair off between his pads and coving his nails so I can trim them. Look at the difference between a trimmed paw and an untrimmed one!

Had to run a few errands before work, so I came in about 8:20am. Was told my 9am appointment had already come in and left, but said they'd be back. It's now 9:15 and they aren't here. I have another appointment at 10 and I'm 98% sure they're going to show up again right as that starts if at all.

Me talking about social media to a group of police academy students: My right to post a bunch of ACAB stuff online is protected, but the school has a right to fire me because it directly conflicts with the needs of our students and my job.
Police student: What's ACAB?
Me: Um... You can Google it.

I made the mistake of sharing my Letterboxd with a student who then saw all the shlocky, b-tier trash I love to watch. Yesterday they mentioned a movie and went, "It's not very good. Tess, you would like it!" FUCKING SAVAGE AND I WILL NEVER RECOVER!

My daughter is 16. That's a sophomore in high school. That's someone who can barely drive. If a 22-year-old EDUCATOR seriously thought she could consent to "engage in an encounter", my response would put me in fucking jail. My heart goes out to this victim.

HR: We can't approve Until we have an accurate start date.
Me: Ok. how about *date?*
HR after date: That start date was inaccurate.
