weekly update 02.25.2024
Wow! Another Week™️. This week, I did lots and lots of homework, but I've been working on various other projects too....
What did I watch? Babylon 5's Deathwalker, CBS Ghosts, and (I know) The Traitors US. I really enjoy The Traitors for some reason. It's fake, cheesy reality TV, but there's tons of delicious drama - and cool outfits from the host! I forgot how much I liked Deathwalker---and sorry, Jha'dur herself. Jha'dur is just soooo fucked up in a way that I find very interesting (not in an "I'm defending her way", obviously, but just I find her interesting.) Also I love that this episode mentions that there's a bookstore :D I love bookstores. Fuck yeah Book Universe, and fuck yeah there still being bookstores in the future!!!!!!!!
What did I listen to? I had to write an essay recently on which of my personal idols I'd love to meet, and I chose, of course, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys. I wrote about 800 words pretending to be a fan speaking to a tour manager, trying to convince them to let me meet the band. They are very, very dear to me, and so I'm always thinking about them somewhere in my mind. This week I've been rotating Being Boring in my mind.... it breaks my heart.
What did I do? I drew a lot, worked on a fanwork project quite a bit, but I also spent a lot of time on my experimental music project, Viverrine/bearcatgirlboy. I don't know shit about music theory, and I probably never will! It's more of an artistic project, like a fun little sandbox to play around in when I'm bored. I just play around on beepbox.co and Bandlab, and produce... uhh... well, something I had fun making, and that's the point, right? Not everything is made with the intention of being good, quality, etc. Sometimes we create just to create. I'm releasing an EP, called Antipsychiatry, very soon!
What did I think about? It's honestly so difficult not to be thinking about the horrors of the world right now. I'm doing everything I can to raise awareness, and it's important not to look away, to do something with your voice. But - what you see when you look is haunting. The absolute inhumanity in some people. I cannot even fathom.... But that is why it is important to fight. That, precisely, is why we must fight for better days.
Well, that's it for now. Thanks!
