Sometimes I get super obsessed with a song and I’ll listen to it over and over again for hours. There is one song that I listened to on repeat all day on my work days at iTunes as well as every minute of every drive and commute I made. It's amazing how one song or piece of music can entrance and be-spell a person. Or at least me, anyway. I don’t know if other people do this. I’m sure I’m not the only one in all the world, but I’m also wondering if it’s something that a significant portion of the population does or just a small percentage of people. And I also wonder if there are correlations between this kind of obsession and things like general anxiety disorder, neuro-divergence, obsessive compulsive disorders, or other things. I’m not trying to compare, pigeonhole, or disparage any of those things. I’m just wondering if doing that sort of thing, listening to the same song over and over again, is a type of self-soothing behavior. Not that it matters I guess.

I think I’ve mentioned this in past posts, but I hate calling this piece of music a “song” because there isn’t any real “singing.” I know that “song” probably has a much less strict definition than it once did, but something about calling a piece of music that doesn’t contain any singing a “song” niggles at my brain. Go figure. However, for the sake of simplicity and time and space, I'm going to use the word "song" for this musical piece.

In case you’re thinking that everyone listen to songs on repeat (I know they do), I think I should break it down a little further. And everyone should understand that I’m not exaggerating. My supervisor could (and would) pull up my screen at any time and she would always see my listening to the same song on repeat--always. She would give me crap for it. Not in a mean way, we were friends, but in all earnestness.

The song is approximately four minutes long (plus an extra few seconds) meaning that just in the time I listened at work in a day, I would’ve listened to it approximately 105 times.

I also had a boyfriend that lived over an hour away from me and I’d listen to it on repeat for every journey to and from his house that I made. My commute to work was close to an hour each way from my home, and those drives, too, were filled with this same song.

I did this for months, maybe a year. You would think after I listened to it THAT often, through that much of my life, that I would grow sick of the song and never want to hear it again. Surely listening to the same song thousands of times, maybe even hundreds of thousands of times all said and done, would leave me sick of the thing.

That is where you would be wrong.

I still love that song. Every once in a while I will put the same damn song on repeat. It’s especially great when I’m writing or working. There aren’t any real lyrics and something about having a song on repeat is helpful at times for my focus.

In case any of you are wondering what song it is that I’m talking about, it’s “IDGAFOS” by Dillon Francis. The song is about eight years old now and I’ve been obsessed with it since I found it sometime in late 2011. There are a few other songs that I’ve gotten addicted to for a span of time, but none like that one. I don’t think it would be a fallacy for me to say that I have a somewhat obsessive personality, in general, but my love for that song may take the cake. Unlike some of my other obsessions, like Harry Potter or Avengers, I don’t dive deeply into the background or the people behind the song or anything like that. I know practically nothing about Dillon Francis. I’ve listened to a couple of his other songs, but nothing I could name off hand or that I’ve listened to over and over on repeat. I don’t know what inspired him to make that piece of music or what went into making it. I just really love listening to that song.

I’m not even kidding about still loving to listen to it either. I’ve listened to it at least twice in the last twenty four hour period, including once while writing this post.

Sometimes I wish I had the words to describe why this song speaks to me and resonates with me so deeply, but I don’t. Maybe one day something with click or unlock in my brain and I’ll be able to explain exactly why this song enraptures me. Though I think it’s more likely that I’ll go through my life loving this song and never fully understanding why. That’s okay though. I think having the song is enough.

I was laying in bed last night thinking about Constantine and his feelings about Gary. Also, I think Gary may be demi-sexual. Yes, Gary has been portrayed as a bit of a dufus, but he’s also super cute, super sweet, and, while gullible, he’s not actually an idiot. Not to mention, he’s brave as hell and you can fucking fight me on that. Sure, he’s a bit of a dork. He loves his Dungeons and Dragons enough that he’s a Dungeon Master for his group of friends. But being pantsed by a Speedster or being naive enough to be stolen from by the most thieving group of people on television since the Leverage doesn’t make you an idiot. I’m hoping that Gary will get a little better treatment.

I want to write a story about Gary and JC (yeah, I’m calling him that still because his first name is too generic and his last name is too long and honestly, it makes me giggle) and their moment of “whatever” that Gary asks about when they have the “is he a virgin” discussion because I just feel there is such a goldmine there for both characters. But I also know if I write it now, it’s gonna get Jossed next week.

Granted I could just say “eff it” and just go for it anyway. It’s likely that even if I can sort of make it fit with canon that it’s still gonna get Jossed eventually. I guess there’s just always going to be part of me that wants my stories to at least fit as headcanon.

Speaking of headcanons, I really hope that Helen of Troy is back again this season. I’d really like to see more of her with the Legends. I think she’d be a great person to team up with them now and then. Part of me wants her to show up with a girlfriend from Themyscira, but my headcanon is that she’s an asexual aromantic. I may have written about this previously, but if you’ve watched the episodes she’s in, she portrays zero interest in any of the men coming onto her and no interest in the women besides loving that they are warriors. When she becomes a warrior herself, her admiration shifts some, but it never seems romantic or sexual in nature. I really want them to make that part of her character. And not in a “men have scarred me for life” kind of way, though men certainly have been the cause of a great deal of her suffering. I want part of the reason that she’s suffered so much to have been because she has never and will never return any of the (weird and creepy, tbh) romantic and sexual interest men have shown her over the course of her life.

Helen gets transported to a new millennium and she’s like, “well, at least there isn’t an actual war going on over me.” She’s just so done with everyone and everything. I love her transformation when they’re able to take her somewhere safe for her. Man, I just really love her and want her to be happy and to see her all the time.

I only need a few hundred words to meet my goal for the much, which is great! I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it with all the things that have gone on in September (tons of stuff at work, crazy busy desk times, DragonCon, this trip to England and Ireland, Jay’s visit, etcetera). Granted, I still have to write a few hundred more words so maybe I shouldn’t call it win just yet!

Even if I didn’t make my goal this month though, I’d still say it was worth sacrificing part of my writing goal for this trip. Even though we haven’t done a whole lot so far, seeing one of my aunts and one of my uncles and two of my cousins was amazing. I hadn’t visited here in five years. The last time I was here was for my grandfather’s funeral and the time before that was when my grandmother died. Both of those trips were in 2013 and that was a difficult year. It was a year of major change for me and a lot of the change was for the better, but it was still a really difficult year. To be visiting now, when things are good and I’m in a place where I mostly feel good about my life is such a wonderful feeling.

Either way, not seeing family you like (as well as love) for five years is not my favorite. It’s hard with everyone spread out everywhere. I think about my sister sometimes too. She has been to see Mark’s family and while his is closer, my sister hasn’t seen any of my dad’s family in years, maybe a couple of decades. I’m trying to remember the last time she went and I simply can’t say when that was. I honestly think the last time she went, I was a freshman in high school.

I feel like most of the trips have been just me and dad but there was one trip I didn’t go on that my sister did when I was in the 8th grade and there have been two or three trips my mom came on. I say “most” were just me and dad like there have been a ton of them, but there have been a handful throughout the years. There was one that the whole family did when I was between 6th and 7th grade. There were two where it was me and Chelsea who went with dad, maybe three? It was mom, dad, and myself for one trip and this trip. Then it was just me and dad for the first trip I remember taking in fourth grade, another one that I can’t quite remember when that was, one when I was a sophomore in college, one the first year after I graduated college, and then the two in 2013. That’s if I’m remembering all of them (beyond the ones we took when I was very small).

I’ve gotten to travel a good bit. I am thankful every day for the adventures I’ve gotten to go on because my dad was and still is a traveler.

But tomorrow we’re headed to Ireland which I have never really gotten to tour before. I spent four hours in the Dublin airport on one of the adventures, but that doesn’t count. I didn’t get to see anything other than the airport and what was right outside of the windows. I have never been to an airport with such incredibly friendly staff before though. That airport, by far, had the kindest, most patient airport employees I’ve encountered. Even the security and immigration type folks were amazing. I’m hopeful that the trip I’m about to make will just kind of build on that idea of Ireland for me for the most part (I know there are assholes in any group of people).

On an unrelated note, I’ve been rewatching Legends of Tomorrow. Well, initially watched the final episodes of season one since I skipped them the first go ‘round. The show was just such a struggle for me the first season. But now that I love it as much as I do—and I really do love it—I wanted to check out the stuff I’d missed. I thought I’d just skipped the end of the first season, but I also (apparently) hadn’t seen the first couple of episodes of the second season either. It was only when I started season two thinking I’d do a rewatch of it (and maybe season three as well if I can fit it in) for shits and giggles since I just finished re-watching Constantine that I realized that I’d never seen the first couple of episodes. I didn’t know how Nate joined the team, nor did I know how he got his superpowers. I mean, I’m sure that I saw the “previously on” but knowing me, I didn’t really pay attention and the information didn’t get stored.

Anyway, it was fun to watch those first couple of episodes and watch the team struggle to be a team. They’re so much more solid now. I’m going to miss Amaya and I really wish Kid Flash was going to stay, but I know the actor decided that he had other things he really wanted to pursue and I’m excited to see what he comes out with next.

But we all know it’s John Constantine I’m obsessed with.

I have so many things I need to do. Finish Librarians from like a year ago, catch up on the last five episodes of Wynonna Earp (it’s more like four, but still), the last four or five episodes of Killjoys, and probably a handful of other things too. I’m sure I’ll get there. I love Wynonna Earp and Killjoys. I’m going to be at the house by myself with the dog for four weeks or so which means I’ll have ample time to hog the TV and have on whatever I want. Granted the first two weeks won’t be much as far as doing anything. I’m going straight back to work after the trip and I’m supposed to work 11 days in a row. I have done stuff like this before, but I don’t think I’ve done it when I’m also jet lagged so I’m curious to see how this goes.

Not that I need to be thinking about that right now.

The problem with loving your job is that you end up thinking about it when you’d be ignoring the existence of a job you hate.

But oh, the point I wanted to mention was that after all that time I spent thinking that they were planning on bringing in John Constantine for Legends at the start of season three, I’m wondering if it actually went back further than that. Maybe it wasn’t a fully formed idea yet, but they brought John onto Arrow to put Sarah’s soul back in her body after she was brought back from the Lazareth Pit or whatever it’s called. They could have written that episode any way they wanted to and they could have brought John Constantine on any way they wanted to, but they very specifically wrote the story so that when they brought Sarah back (ostensibly to have her alive and available to do Legends of Tomorrow) it was John Constantine who fixed up her soul. They wrote Constantine into Oliver’s past so that they could call on Constantine rather than just having Constantine come into town chasing down one demon or another.

I don’t know, maybe they just wanted to have Constantine on and that was the plot line that mad the most sense (which I’m guessing is true) and it was just a happy coincidence that he had that tie to Sarah and since it was there, they decided to use it in Legends. But I still think that they’ve been hoping that they could make John Constantine a larger part of the DC universe for years. I’m sure there have been issues with rights and scheduling and such, but I’m thinking that someone worked really hard to make it happen. I know CBS gave/sold Supergirl to CW, but John Constantine was on NBC (granted who owns the rights isn’t always as clear cut as checking with station aired the show—something I find fascinating).

I’m wondering if it was long negotiations for the character not just to be leant to the CW. Plus, what I’ve been reading and seeing is leading me to believe that the writers are picking up a large part of the plot from the John Constantine show and where it left off, which I’m thinking might mean more negotiating than just letting them have the character for a couple of things here and there. I think CBS and the CW have some sort of partnership or are similarly owned or something and it was therefore pretty straightforward to move Supergirl to CW.

I think Midnight Texas is on NBC now and I find it kind of interesting that they renewed that show. I’m glad they did because I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to the next season, but it’s a lot like Constantine in a lot of ways (at least to me). Granted, there are more characters who are not morally ambiguous in Midnight Texas than there were in Constantine. But they’ve got queer characters, demons, angels, magic users, vampires, ghosts, and a host of other crazy creatures. As well as humans that are just plain evil. I feel like maybe they tried to do John Constantine too early. I pretty sure it started right around the time that Arrow and The Flash were taking off and I’m thinking they wanted to get in on the action (I suspect that Supergirl was the same kind of endeavor for CBS), but I’m thinking they didn’t quite know what they were doing—at least not yet. They hadn’t quite “gotten” what had pulled people in about those shows.

I don’t know.

I’m rambling when I should be going to bed. Yeah, I need to go to bed.

Current Mood: chipper

I need to do real writing tonight, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen tonight. It’s already after midnight and I’ve only just now managed to tear myself away from the TV. I mean technically speaking, I’m still in front of it and it’s still on, but I’m using it for music at the moment. I got sucked into a rewatch of “Second Chance.” I watched the show when it was on a few years ago, and I really liked it. I felt like it had a decent end, but I can’t remember. I wanted to get a second season, but it didn’t. I’m enjoying the rewatch. I have a lot of complicated stressful emotions about the plot. The main character is a dick, but he goes on this really great emotional, redemption story of love and family. Everyone who knows me knows this is my favorite thing in the fictional (maybe also real life) world with the possible exception of fake relationships.

Another great trope, that I absolutely weak for is the one where a casual stranger, like a waitress or a salesman, thinks your ship is already a couple when they’re not and they’re forced to awkwardly say that they aren’t together even though they both “secretly” want to be a couple. Like, “yaaaassssss” torture me with your inability to tell each other you’re in love. But there’s also the whole, “EVERYONE CAN SEE YOU ALL BELONG TO EACH OTHER, YOU IDIOTS” aspect that I’m also a real sucker for.

Second Chance has a moment of that, but like in an even more awkward way. She over hers Mary say that “Pritchard” should keep the car she’s been lending him because she can’t imagine anyone else driving it. Said real estate agent immediately assumes that they’re getting a divorce and she says something like, “Awww, I’ve never heard two people who are getting divorced be so sweet to each other!” And they’re like, “Uh… Well, see, we’re not getting divorced.” and She’s like, “Oh, I overheard about the car so I thought you were breaking up. I’m so glad you’re not splitting up since you seem to so great together.” And they’re like, “Um, so like, we’re not together.” She starts scrambling, obviously confused, and finally Mary just asks to see the apartment.

I love it. They’re both miserable thinking he’s about to move out, but don’t know how to tell each other.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Mary’s brother. He’s a dick and sort of cruel and selfish and manipulative. But a lot of it is because he’s been traumatized and he’s a genius that doesn’t understand boundaries at all. He wants it to be him and his sister as a unit forever. They’re twins and he can’t really function without her very well. But when he’s stable, he’s incredible. When she develops a type of cancer that is pretty much always fatal, he finds a way to bring someone back from the dead and adjust them so that he can use their blood to treat her. An incredible mind for all kinds of things. Mostly he’s about patterns and codes. It’s hard to explain, but on screen, he’s definitely a sympathetic character to a point. Further, there is also a villain working behind the scenes to make things worse for Otto for “reasons.”

I don’t want to speak about it too much though, because I still can’t remember how the show ends or how things end up for him. I feel like until I remember that, I can’t make a proper decision about whether or not I like him as a character.

I didn’t mean to get into all of this, but I’ve obviously gotten into my re-watch. I think Constantine is still my alpha-obsession because the show and the character are humming under a lot of my other thoughts and feelings, but Second Chance is holding its own.

Anyway, I’m exhausted. It’s been a wild day. I still haven’t finished my story, but maybe tomorrow once I get some rest.

Night y’all!

I was bemoaning to Reb that it’s difficult to find the time and headspace to write the porn story I want to write, which is true. But what’s also true, is that I’ve been alone with time to write for the last two hours and change, and I’ve rewatched episodes of “Second Chance” instead. I put on something I’d seen before thinking that I would write while I watched it, but of course I didn’t and now I’ve forced myself to turn it off and I really needed to head to bed about forty minutes ago. The other part of the problem is that John Constantine is still my Alpha-Obsession for the moment so whenever I go to write, I’m still thinking about him and what this upcoming season is going to be.

I did get enough writing done that I’m not behind on my goal for the month overall but I’m probably going to be a little shy of my stretch goal--which is to be done before I go to England in case I don’t have time/energy to write at all while I’m there. I should probably look into getting some sort of journaling app for while I’m there that I can use to store my day to day rambles until I can get to a wifi spot. Still, I think that’s a tomorrow issue, because like I said, it’s past my bedtime.

As I mentioned previously, I think it may have been the plan to have John Constantine join the Legends in the upcoming season (season 4) for all, or at least most, of season three. I’ve been spending far more time on this than any person should, but I’m in it now. I’m very nearly done with my rewatch of Constantine (I may finish it before I finish writing this post, honestly), and I’ve also been through Constantine's appearances in Daddy Darhkest, Necromancing the Stone, and The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly two or three times now so you know that I’m dedicated to this right now. John Constantine is my current obsession (The Meg is still kicking around in my brain, especially Jaxx and Lori, Avengers is basically always in there somewhere, and there are always things like Wynonna and Shadowhunters kicking around in there, but John Constantine, for the moment has emerged as Alpha Obsession.)

So basically this is about to be me rambling about John Constantine, the Legends, some random demons and what things are making me think Constantine’s joining the Legends for season four was planned from the beginning of season three (assuming they got renewed, of course).

John Constantine comes to the Legends, well to Sarah when he runs into Nora Darhk as a young, possessed girl and is trying to do an exorcism. All the shit with the exorcism goes down--it’s not pretty. The thing is though, Constantine has great chemistry with the group. Their group has always been one of misfits and broken pieces and John Constantine is both of those things.

(Quick side note, nothing is quite working right with JC’s spells when it comes to Mallus/Malice and considering the demon’s name is Malice, but they’re calling him Mallus it makes sense. They just don’t know that’s the issue messing up the spell. I love that they’ve been messing up his name the whole season. It’s like Benjamin Cucumbering his name unintentionally or something.)

They directly set up a few things--in my mind--with the Daddy Darhkest episode:

Obviously, they set up Norah’s background and how she becomes possessed by Malice.
Sarah is going to get taken over by Mallus/Malice again.
JC will be called on to help them again. No way is anyone going to just try to kill Sarah the way JC instructs Ray to do at the end of the episode.
Sarah in the past likely would not have paused before a hook up with someone to say “are we really that damaged?”--she would’ve just hooked up with them. She was sleeping with her sister’s boyfriend pre-Arrow, let’s not forget, and that was BEFORE she went through hell, became an assassin, died, got brought back to life without her soul, experienced her soul being tortured while her body walked around without it, lost her sister, and went through all the things she went through in the first two and a half seasons of Legends of Tomorrow. I love the girl, and I love that I don’t see her being slut-shamed, not really, nor am I slut-shaming now. What I’m pointing out is that she’s changing now that Ava’s in her life. I love that JC says he and Ava have great taste in damaged women when he finds out Sarah has been with Ava. Ava doesn’t like that Sarah had sex with John, but it’s mostly jealousy because it was after she and Sarah met and so close to the two of them starting to see each other seriously. And she doesn’t make it like Sarah is bad for sleeping with someone, only that JC is an arrogant, messy, weird, dumpster fire of a person. God love him. Shit… I digressed again. That is in the next Constantine episode.

So Sarah does get taken back over by Mallus (I know his name is Malice, but they spent so much time calling him Mallus that I can’t stop) and the team can’t bear to kill Sarah, as expected. It’s Ava and Gary (squee precious baby, I love him) who decide to go track down JC.

Here again, JC has amazing chemistry with Ava and Gary. Gary has amazing chemistry with everyone in my opinion, mostly because he’s just such a darling. Ava and JC though are such polar opposites. JC doesn’t have a cell phone, Ava has a device that lets her make doorways into anywhere in time and space. JC is a man of magic and chaos, Ava is a woman of order and technology. If ever two people were oil and water, it’s these two. And they work against each other so beautifully. (I think Ava likes JC just a little bit for kissing Gary because for all the shit she gives Gary, I think he means a lot to her.)

Matt Ryan has been playing JC on and off for four years, he has this character down. I’ll admit that I enjoyed the Keanu Reeves movie and they picked the perfect guy to play Papa Midnight, but when it comes to comic book character JC portrayals, Matt Ryan slays. And he comes on a set and just is unbelievable. It’s like he’s been working with them forever. I love him, I’m so excited that he’s going to be on this upcoming season.

Right. Ah, concentration you are a fickle thing. So, back to my point.

In Necromancing the Stone, JC establishes a history with Beebo, which I mention because Beebo is such a wild concept as a plot point. He says he put a spell on one of the toys to make it talk and it told some crazy stories. We don’t hear the stories, but we know a good bit of what has been going down with Beebo, like one stumbling into Viking history. This would suggest that JC’s history is tied in some sense to the team’s experiences with Beebo.

A minor point which could mean absolutely nothing. But he does help save Sarah, and at the end of their battle, she offers him a place on the ship. He says it’s tempting. She’s not kidding and I don’t think he is either. The story isn’t ready for him to join up yet, at least I don’t think so, but it bears a strong resemblance, in my opinion, to when Deeks first appeared on NCIS: LA. When Deeks first shows up, he’s undercover and he goes back to finish that project at the end of the episode, but he promises he’ll “be back.” You can already see from the two episodes (JC is a major player in two episodes of Legends, another parallel) Deeks is in, that he’s going to be a good addition to the team. I think the same is true of JC. NCIS: LA didn’t have the room on the team or the plot line to support Deeks being on the show yet, but they were setting it up so that they would have the room and plot to bring him on as a major character not long after. I think Necromancing the Stone was the episode that directly foreshadowed JC’s eventual joining of the team.

I say that this is when they foreshadowed that JC would join, not that this is when they decided they would eventually have him join because I think they knew from the beginning of the season that they wanted that to be what eventually happened. At the end of season 2, there were already rumors that Victor Garber would be leaving meaning it would be difficult to keep Jackson on the show as a regular as well. The size and shape of the group have fluctuated a lot over the seasons, but it’s always been a big group. As a character, Amaya’s time on the ship was always going to have to come to an end before the others and the writers knew that they were losing Victor Garber and possibly also Franz Drameh. I think they were hoping that Keiynan Lonsdale would stay (I’m sad he isn’t going to be a regular, but I respect his choice to grow and explore!) but that still leaves three open places. There would certainly be room for JC.

Now here is the biggest clue, in my opinion, that they were planning on bringing JC on permanently if they could: Mallus/Malice is mentioned from the very first episode of season three. Guys, when they were plotting out the season they wrote that their “big bad” villain for season three was going to be a LITERAL DEMON. They live in the DC universe and a Demon is messing with time and space and he’s pushing through the barrier between the demon world and “ours.” There’s no way they don’t bring in JC for that. Even if they hadn’t written it that Sarah letting Malice come through to this “world” weakened the barrier separating us from demons further, they’ve already set up that demons are messing with us. I don’t think they did that and then went, “oh hey, you know who would be perfect for this plot? John Constantine!” I think they went, “You know who would be a great addition to the show now that we’re losing a couple of people? He’s even already under contract with us! Matt Ryan! We just have to write the show so that it makes sense to add him.” They’ve been steeped in magic and mythology from the beginning, but the entire second season was centered around the powers of The Spear Of Destiny so it’s not much of a stretch for a demon to come out to play is it?

I’m curious if JC will be on the show as a regular for more than one season. JC tends to be such a loner that I think it would be tricky to write the plot and his development in such a way that he doesn’t decide to go off on his own again once they’ve defeated the rising darkness. Granted, they may not get a fifth season and I’m guessing you can make “the rising darkness” and defeating demons throughout time and space quite a plot point. What I’m hoping in my heart of hearts is that the group eventually goes back in time and somehow saves Astra from getting sucked into hell in such a way that John doesn’t know she’s been saved. Demons are liars, and they’d torment John with her release even if she wasn’t in there assuming that John didn’t know she wasn’t.

I saw a trailer for the upcoming season and while there wasn’t much that was shown from the upcoming season, one of the major things--well, to me--was JC referring to the rising darkness. That was the big plot in the show Constantine and because the show only got one season, we never got to continue that. Having just finished my rewatch (told ya I’d finish the rewatch before I finished writing this), I remember why I’ve been feeling so frustrated about the show ending. I remembered that it ended with a cliffhanger and that nothing was really resolved, but I couldn’t remember specifically what had happened. I won’t go into it too deeply, but the entity that was urging John to fight the rising darkness also confessed to a different character that he was behind the rising darkness. The goal appeared to be to break the barrier altogether and make it so that earth could be taken over by supernatural creatures. I know we’re going to get a little bit of what’s been happening with JC since that show ended, but I’m wondering if we’ll get information on Chaz and Zed. I didn’t love Zed, but I didn’t dislike her either and I’m curious to see what happened to her. I did love Chaz and I think JC loved him and I’m very curious if that’s the “tragic love story” we’re going to hear. Could be something entirely different though.

I’m shipping the shit out of him and Gary, though again, how that would work long term, I’m not sure. I’d love to see it though, I really would.

I love that Brandon Routh is working with his real-life wife and that there may be something happening between their characters. I just think that’s fun.

The first season of legends was rooouuuggghhh. I don’t think I even made it to the end of the season. I don’t even remember what made me try the second season again. It could have been that I’d been watching Supergirl pretty religiously at the time and the crossover events got me reinvested. It could have been something someone said or posted. Regardless, I’m really glad I started watching again and I’m so, so excited for next season. Ughhh, I’m so ready!!

I saw “The Meg” again today. This time I took my dad. I think he was kidding yesterday when he said that we could go today after we got his camera for the UK trip they have coming up in a few weeks. Yes, that was my fifth time seeing that movie in the theater. Someone asked me why I liked that movie so much and honestly, it’s impossible for me to say. I’ve started listing all the problems with it, all the issues with the plot, the character development/actions, what “science” even I can tell is total garbage, and some of the dialogue, and it’s exorbitantly a terrible movie, without question. And yet. I love it. I doubt I’ll see it in the theater again unless I happened to catch it in one of the second run/cheap theaters because I’ve got a lot going on the next few weeks leading up to the England/Ireland trip and then I’ll be on my own with the dog for something like four weeks. I need to stop spending all my money.

I need to get on any final preparations I might have for that trip too like getting some euros and pounds and letting my cards know I’m traveling. There are probably some other things I need to look into too. But not tonight. Now is bedtime.

I spelled the way Lori replies to Toshi wrong on purpose to try to express that she isn't getting it right. I don't speak Japanese, so I had to look this stuff up to the best of my ability. If I've messed it up, beyond what I intended, please let me know.

This is what I went off of:

When meeting a respected for the first time in Japan, you may say oai dekite kouei desu. This means “delighted to meet you” and is pronounced oh-aye dic-tish-te ko-ee dis.

Current Mood: creative

It’s after ten o’clock and I really haven’t done any writing except the discussion questions for my book club on Monday. It’s important that I get my rough draft done of the teen blog. I should have a few solid hours in the morning to get the blog post written. I did decide on a theme and I’ve found at least one book. I think it likely that I’ll be able to find a few more fairly quickly. Then it’s just a matter of using Goodreads and other book sites to describe the books and try to be a little quippy when speaking of them. I can do that. I can. And it’ll help me meet my writing goal. And then I just pray that it’s a quiet day and I can work on my story at the desk. I mean, I’ll definitely be able to work on it when I get home, though we’ve I’ve tried to work on it tonight I haven’t been very successful. But the last couple of days have been so exhausting, I can’t say I’m surprised. Well, I’m too tired, physically and mentally, to keep fighting this battle so I’m out for the night guys.

Current Mood: drained
