LAST DAY. It's been a long week for some reason. Possibly the weather? Probably the weather. I was supposed to be busting out the deck lounger right about now! I guess I'll see what the weekend brings and just kick it until then. Keep on chooglin'.

Mike Flanagan simply does not miss with Stephen King adaptations! You carve that niche for yourself, dude!

Goals for tonight: Do my nails, finally finish X-Men '97, and a run. Can I do it? I wanna do it!

June Movie Count: 2 (The Life of Chuck, Tetsuo: The Iron Man)

A smoky, cold, rainy start to the month, happy pride I guess!! At least we got some beautiful thunderstorms last night and my jeans weren't wet for too long this morning. Think I'm absolutely going to feign an emergency and bail an hour early tomorrow night to go to the movies if my mom's up to it, though; hopefully telling her what I think the mystery movie is will provide enough motivation. Just gotta make it through the next few days!

Overall, I think my attempt to watch more movies last month was a resounding success, I saw lots of really good shit (as well as a couple of real duds), and I'm going to try to keep it going! Lotta giallo. Lotta Michael Mann. One really long Argentinian movie. A bunch of rewatches, too. I've fallen waaaaaay behind on TV shows, though, so I'm going to have to strike more of a balance in June. And also catch up on BOSJ before I get spoiled for the winner, somehow.

It's one of those days where every 'good morning' feels like a personal attack. It's been so hot and beautiful outside, which has, naturally, meant freezing in a horrible artificial icebox all day while everyone coming in from outside tells me how good it feels and I try not to stab them in the face with my pen, and it's so smoky today that I can't even spend my lunch break outside in the sunshine unless the wind performs some miracles in the next six hours. Also I somehow lost my wired earbuds with the dongle because heaven forbid phones have headphone jacks these days and I am mad about everything, so I am simply going to cast my mind back to the weekend, and the emotional catharsis that was Double or Nothing.
