The Weekend, Condensed
Came down with a head cold that wandered very briefly into my chest and lingered far longer than most colds do. For me, at least. Typically, I simply don't get sick. Put it this way. Tuesday I was a fountain of snot and misery. By Saturday I ran a half-marathon.
Not an event, mind you. Just the distance. I was 2:20ish and not terribly sore. Was that cuz I've been off training two weeks, or because my body's adapting? Wish I knew for sure.
Had I known I'd recover from my run so well, I might have been into ValleyScare this weekend. SNORT Naaaaah Who Am I Kidding? Seriously! Are we gonna switch from haunted houses based on American Horror Story, Walking Dead and The Exorcist to Garden-Variety Cedar Fair right away? Eventually. But we're not in a rush. We laid on the family room couches and watched Money Machine instead.

Speaking of movies tho? Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is yet another movie I'd wished to like more than I did. B and I both nodded off during certain passages. But Tim Burton and the PREMISE and...I don't know. Just didn't hit me squarely. To say nothing of a major HISHE event I shan't reveal here.

Don't Think Twice gave me the chills in more ways than one. Kinda jealous of this fictional bunch; other than the living arrangements? That's the kinda troupe I've been looking for.
Why am I so utterly distracted by Kate Micucci? COMPLETELY UNABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS. Even on Raising Hope where she ran around with a blackened front tooth and was obviously NOT supposed to be quirky nerd smart. Had she pulled out the ukelele an shit? Oh myyyyyy WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTAIN MYSELF. And I'm not even physically into thin women. Like, I find them attractive but don't want them to engage me physically. As in 'nice' hugs are fine? But if one were to squeeze against me, I'd involuntarily squirm in a Not So Good Fashion that would non-verbally say 'Please Stop Doing That.'
It's the second most inexplicable crush I've ever had. We won't discuss Number One Ever. Newp.

But THIS however? THIS? Everything I'd thought I'd see and MORE.
Literally itching for the HDR 4K Release date.
I'ma tell you a dirty lil' secret.
When racist white people in movies get fucked up? We minorities giggle like ninnies. Yup!
There was me and the asian woman two rows back and since we could hear each other?
Just emboldened our behavior.
Don't like it? Well, guess the (bleep) (bleep)in' fuck what?
This is MAKE BELIEVE. The director yells 'cut' and the actors get back up.
The black men police shoot STAY DEAD.
Of which a disturbingly small percentage pose an imminent, life-threatening risk.
Think about that for a minute.
