<Insert Name Here>

Okay, hi, hello! I have not looked at Dreamwidth in like a month due to a combination of work being crazy, Mom's constant freaking out about her work wearing me down, and general winter depression exacerbated by more acute 'the movie theatre will be closed for another three goddamn months' depression, but here I am! Going to try to turn things around!

I have seen two local theatre productions (Fiddler on the Roof and The Lion and the Jewel) and one ballet (A Midsummer Night's Dream) since my last update, and while it doesn't fill the gaping hole in my life left from going to the movies on the regular, it has certainly helped a lot. Arts! They're also going to screen all three extended editions of The Lord of the Rings this weekend, so that's something else to look forward to, even if the seats there are not nearly as comfortable as those of our lone cinema.

It was six degrees above zero on Saturday. It was back down to -30 this morning. I'm TIRED.

My grandmother had a very scary health crisis a week ago; we went downtown to essentially say goodbye to her Monday night after she had a seizure and was sent to the ER before being diagnosed with a massive brain bleed. A few hours later, however, once they were able to get a proper look at her scans, it turned out to actually just be a tumour the size of a golf ball, which is, somehow, a much better immediate outcome? She was released back to her care home the next day and seemed fine when we went back to visit her. She's on anti-seizure meds and some steroids to bring down the inflammation and life just goes on, I guess, big-ass tumour and all. Her sister came up from Edmonton to visit for the weekend, which was nice.

I have let my inbox get up over 1000 unread emails again. I was doing so well for a while.

In better news, my upcoming vacation is completely booked. I did forget that WPW tickets went on sale Friday until that evening and had to settle for a standing room only ticket, but at least it wasn't completely sold out yet (as it is now). My presence for Mercedes' crash-out era is confirmed, I hope Jody Threat throws her off the Nonsuch.

Revolution this weekend. If Hangman and Kris both losing big world title matches on the same night is the karmic price I have to pay for All Out, so be it. Still at the exact same time as the Oscars, which is deeply infuriating, but maybe they're doing it to save me from how sad they would probably just make me, because the last movie I was able to see in a theatre was fucking Anaconda. Hopefully I'll be able to still catch Hoppers somewhere once I'm travelling in a couple of weeks. If C&C don't finally show back up after the tag title match, I will self-harm by watching Money Plane.

Okay, hopefully I will continue with the regular updates again, back to work! Going to spend my lunch break with this joshi match pack somebody put together. Monday's match is Mina Shirakawa, Maika, and Mei Seira vs. Saya Kamitani, Tam Nakano, and AZM from Supercard of Honor 2024, which I recall as being a low-key banger, so I welcome you to join me!

PS: Fuck daylight savings!
