"All movies are good. Don't get mad at me." - @lindsayellis.bsky.social

haaaaaaa.

Showed up early and got a good seat. Next up in my quest for a good grade in @lindsayellis.bsky.social Author Event, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve, is coming up w/a good question for the Q&A (I don't actually know if there will be a Q&A).

After a few gargantuan "Illegal Operation" fails on old versions of MS Word, I learned to habitually hit Ctrl+S every few minutes. 20ish years of autosave has not touched that habit of mine.

And to think, I used to get annoyed by how my high school teacher would double-click everything, LOL!

I mean, why do we do anything? We like to adorn and customize our builds.

Every time I am reminded that tongue splitting is a thing, it reignites my deep desire to do it, one that's existed for some 25 years. Alas, we live in a society. Maybe someday when I'm braver and full of even fewer fucks to give.

No one told me One Battle After Another is Bollywood movie length. Afaik no song and dance numbers to justify that runtime, though. Might end up watching it over two nights.

Stoooooop 🤣

It's not even anything interesting! Just more protein powder mixed into something that doesn't need it. And who needs extra protein if they're eating wings in the first place??? I cannot.

You know that thing where cats like you but they're too shy to come over when you call, at least not right away? And they mark everything around them as they stare at you? Best thing.

Thank you for alerting me to this new (to me) important variation in adorable kitty features

I was gonna say I love the tipped ear, but both ears look like that? Are those just how your kitty's ears look? Cute either way 😻

Poster on the page of a graphic novel. It says "A woman can never be TOO RICH, TOO THIN, or TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE of THE TABLE."

Dunno how I feel about it overall yet, but this joke towards the end of Fight Club 2 (background throwaway gag so it's not a spoiler) made the entire thing worth it to me.

I like that he's singing in an American accent but the way some of the words are said and how some words are used are 1000% Indian English

20 years ago, I posted this, captioned "The anti-Myspace pic".

See, I wasn't like the other girls. I made Flying Spaghetti Monster references while wearing hijab & took a mirror selfie in front of the mirror instead of in the mirror (also I wasn't really a girl but I couldn't admit that yet).

Ok fine I'll watch some more Oscar nominees bc I'm going to an Oscars watch party but the entire time I'm going to be dying inside over how no one cares about The Testament of Ann Lee enough except for me. It should've at least been more of a cinephile/critical darling. Maybe it'll be a sleeper hit?

My mom's cat (and my former foster kitty) Logan was being extra sweet to me yesterday. Check out that slow blink!

Lol. I don't really need that sort of exaggerating d; It's more to invoke the trope

Like how they use "denies" in doctor's notes to mean "answered no to a question". The first time I saw that, I had no idea what I was looking at and thought the doctor thought I was in denial of something.

Calling him a "BF" is rounding up TBH. It was more of a long distance flirtation thing. We were both intensely lonely and poetic people.

Lol, nice! I just about lost my shit when the Canadian BF trope showed up in Inside Out. It's such a Thing.

There is so much to the lore regarding the Canadian Internet Boyfriend that I had when I was 17/18 that sounds fake even to me. This week, he emailed me and added to it. I'm not going to reply to him bc, bruh, it's been 20 years, get over it/me. I feel bad for him for being so hung up.

Someone picked the seat next to mine in a loveseat-style movie theater. There are tons of other seats. Unhinged. My seat is center-center but I'm not fucking cuddling a stranger so I looked up the layout and picked another empty seat. Though IDK which of us is weirder.

Link's Awakening is up there for me too. My other two are A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask.

I have saved so much $$$ over the years not only by using the library but also by suggesting they buy things. They do, more often than not!

Well-meaning cis-het people have such a way of making me feel -phobic bc they want me to love their LGBTQIA+ faves and I.... simply do not.

What's for us by us is very different than for you by us or by us for you.

Precisely. Also relatedly things like aggressiveness and entitlement and domineering body language. I have none of those going on

New friend: "oh this dog normally doesn't like men but he's warming up to you already! how nice"
Me: "hahahaha yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess animals just like me I guess 😅"

I'm seeing three this weekend but yeah, lol, def don't expect it to be that way after I've seen most things I want to already

Surprised to learn the AMC theater subscription is slightly cheaper than the Regal AND they waive the reservation fee AND they have a lot of exclusives. Technically it's 4 movies/week at AMC vs. "unlimited" for Regal, but how many people could manage more than 4 theater trips a week? Not me, LOL

For what? Earliest Loud and Proud Muslim-Hater and Torture Defender? Biggest Grifter? Wait, never mind, I'm happy to not know.
