Pisces Party! (Diet Natural Light)

| Now Playing: Ghostin by Ariana Grande |

I know you hear me when I cry

I try to hold it in at night

When you’re sleeping next to me

But it’s your arms that I need this time

And after all that we’ve been through

There’s so much to look forward too

What was done and what was said

Leave it all here in this bed with you

Baby you do it so well

You’ve been so understanding

You’ve been so good

And I’m putting you through

More than one ever should

And I’m hating myself

‘Cause you don’t want to

Admit that it hurts you

Baby

I know that it breaks your heart

When I cry again over him

I know that it breaks your heart

When I cry again instead of ghosting him

We’ll get through this

We’ll get past this

I’m the girl with

A whole lot of baggage

But I love you

We’ll get past this

I’m the girl with

A whole lot of baggage

WOO what a time it’s been. I finally started vacation this week, and it’s been wonderful, but it was a low-key struggle to get there. It’s not that work was particularly bad or hard, it was just the fact that the pre-vacation fatigue was really hitting me. But this isn’t about work, especially because this was the week I started vacation. Literally as soon as I got off work Wednesday, it was all steam ahead because when I tell you that a bitch was ready for vacation, I was ready for vacation.

So let’s go back a little bit to Monday. Right after the weekend, on the first day of work of the week, I had a little bit of a birthday gift to myself. After Allen told me about this tequila tasting that was happening on Thursday, he said we should go to it as my birthday gift, so when that happened, I knew what little something I was going to get for myself. So it’s no secret that I’ve been obsessed with Fire Emblem lately. I literally still play Fire Emblem Heroes (it’s basically a massive melting pot of past games with all past characters, all in a free iOS game) every single day, because that’s how much I love it. And with Fire Emblem: Three Houses getting ready to come out this summer, a bitch is ready. But after watching multiple videos on it, I finally decided that I wanted the spin-off game, Fire Emblem Warriors, so that’s what I bought for myself Sunday. And even though it said it was going to arrive on Wednesday, it actually came Monday. And since Allen was off of work, and had plans with Chelsea, it gave me the perfect excuse to break out my new game. And A bitch is obsessed with it. It’s the perfect satiating medium until the new Fire Emblem game comes out, between that and all the Fire Emblem characters in Smash. Ugh, it’s just great to have this energy to funnel into this newly formed obsession with Fire Emblem haha.

For my first day of vacation, I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to get done. Laundry to prepare for the trip, getting back into exercising and meditating, cleaning out my car (and putting in my new clearance Wonder Woman seat cover), cleaning the other room because it’s becoming a mess, recording more footage for my upcoming Sims 4 let’s play video, and working on transferring all my stuff on Goodreads to my new author name and page. Yeah, it was a lot, but I got everything done. It was just, really, a lot of work to do.

But the tequila tasting on Thursday was great, in terms of like the experience and actually we sort of made friends with the older lady next to me, she was super sweet, but they only gave us the three standards of Patron to try. I figured with it being a Patron tasting that we could try all of theres, or at least most of them, but no. Like I said, the experience was great, they gave us a little background on the way Patron makes their tequila, and the Tobacco Company is absolutely beautiful, so aesthetically, the even was awesome. At least we got little swag bags out of it. And I talked to my grandma Thursday about coming down, and they were without power and looking to get a hotel. And there power comes back on Friday morning and what happens? Our power goes out. Crazy, right? Luckily, it came on a few hours later, but everyone stayed home because of it, plus Allen wasn’t feeling great, so we were able to pack and get ready, and even leave earlier than we were planning on leaving. The trip down was good, and I can’t tell you how much I love the Airbnb we stayed in. We’re definitely going to have to go there in the future when we head down, because it was just a wonderful experience. I wanted my actual birthday to be just me and Allen, and super chill, so we didn’t do that much. We took a nap upstairs while listening to the rain on the tin roof (water sign aesthetic af) then I suggested getting food to cook from Kroger, so we got sushi, Mac and cheese, and Philly steak subs, which sounded amazing in theory, but the subs weren’t the best haha. Noted, prepackaged Philly steak kits in the freezer section are a veto. Then we just drank some wine, played some Smash and Mario Kart, and then headed to bed.

The plan was to sleep in a little bit, but both of us were up by like 8 o’clock, so we had an early start on the day. Grabbed some breakfast at Denny’s and then headed over to see my grandparents, and even my dad was there. It was a mess because they were trying to fix their new TV, so of course I had to step in. And then we went to the winery with West, met his new girlfriend Molly, who I think is going to be really good for him, and that was an amazing time because we just love New River Winery so much. Had some glasses, bought some bottles, and then I was a little bummed because West was saying that he wasn’t coming out after dinner like it was planned. And Destiny and Morgan were already saying they weren’t coming out after dinner, and I was just like then what the hell is the point? God bless Allen though, honestly. He took it upon himself to message everyone and be like y’all really should come out, it would mean a lot to Justin, and everything, so God bless my man. As it turned out, almost everyone came out after dinner. And even though dinner was in a really cramped Alejandro’s, and not our usual one, it was really good, despite everyone sort of being separated. But Heather and Benzo ended up not coming out after dinner because they’re parking was about to expire, and I didn’t want them to have to pay for more overpriced parking, so I said they could head out. Oh, and Benzo got me this really cool laptop stand that I had sent her and totally forgot about, but it’s great. Plus it was in Milly inspired wrapping paper, I live. 

Anyway, we got to Corned Beef and it was a little lame? Like I was totally fine with everything that happened but even after being there for thirty minutes, it almost being eleven, like no one was there and no one was dancing. We had our fair share of fun, between drinks and Rumple Minze shots, so it was good. Only annoying part was Destiny, Morgan and Moe (who joined us after dinner) were like we’re going to play pool and separated from everyone, so that just put me in a weird position where I felt like I had to split my time between the two of them. So Allen and I were talking about ending the night early and having everyone come back to the Airbnb, since this place was super cool about that (especially to the people staying in the house on the grounds that left their dogs in their car for a few hours, but alas) and no one came back. But at least we got to chill with Kelly back at the Airbnb and we had a high time. Once she left, Allen and I played some Smash, hilariously so since we were under the influence, made late night mac and cheese, then headed to bed. And the fury started. He was having the shakes, both of our stomachs were fucked up, and it was a time. The entire day Sunday was us struggling to move and function, and even at lunch at Applebees, a headache was threatening to end me. The entire drive back was me trying not to fall to the pain of my headache.

And as soon as we got home, I needed to lay down because my head hurt so bad, and after some medicine and a little over an hour long nap, I was feeling semi normal again. My stomach was acting up a little bit again, but I could handle that more so than my head splitting open like that. We kept it low-key when coming home, and aside from struggling to sleep for almost three hours that night, it was a good time had. The entire weekend was good in the end, but it was just al to to deal with, especially with everyone saying they weren’t coming out and basically everyone but Benzo, and of course Allen, disappointing me, so there was that to deal with. I’m just thankful that I have Allen by my side, to get shit done. I love him so much.

The rest of my vacation, I want to get writing done, but I’m still so scorned from Sunday, we’ll see haha. I just want to revel in these final four days of vacation. And this damn Sims video, bitch. Ugh. My footage someone slid around and none of the face cam matches the game footage, but I fixed it this morning. I really hope people appreciate the work that this video has taken haha. And the title of this blog is obvious, but the parentheses comes from me talking about how I wish the bathroom at the Airbnb had a window where the shower was to have some natural light, and we were faking these pretentious voices and Allen said this and it cracked me the hell up haha.

Until next time,

Water Badge, Air Pendant

| Now Playing: In My Head by Ariana Grande |

Painted a picture

I thought I knew you well

I have a habit

Of seeing what isn’t there

Caught in a moment

Tangled up in your sheets

But you broke my heart

I said you only wanted half of me

My imagination’s too creative

They see demon, I see angel

Angel, angel

Without a halo

Wingless angel

Falling, falling

But I never thought you’d leave me

Falling, falling

Needed something to believe in

I thought you were the one 

But it was all in my head

It was all in my head

Look at you

Boy I invented you

In Gucci tennis shoes

Running from your issues

Cardio good for the heart

I figured we could work it out

Wanted you to grow but

Boy you wasn’t budding

Everything you are

Made you everything you aren’t 

I saw your potential

Without seeing credentials

Maybe that’s the issue

Said maybe that’s the issue 

______________________________________________________

So this has been an interesting week. I’m not even gonna lie, I’m mainly counting down the milliseconds to when I start vacation, let alone the days. I’m just so ready to do some actual relaxation that I don’t know what to do with myself.  But the start of the week began with Allen having to drop his car off to be looked at, after last Friday and it shut off while we were driving back from Mexican with Katie. So I met him at enterprise so he could get a rental car. Then we did some drunk Smash, taking shots if we lost, just like we had with drunk Mario Kart haha. That was a lot of fun! Even though for pretty much the first time in my life, I had a hangover Tuesday. 

Work has been pretty decent. In fact, on Thursday, they called me into the office to see if I wanted to take electronics. But ya boy knows better than to take a broken department, so I declined. Then they started asking me if I was looking to move up to Assistant, which I’m definitely not, but I’m glad that they at least see my effort and drive enough to ask me these sorts of things. I’ve even been doing things above and beyond, like relabeling my bins because they’re all out of sorts and I’m tired of hunting for these random non-cohesive numbers, so I’ve been relabeling under my brand of 22’s because why not? But work has been pretty low-key. Like I said before, I’m just ready for some vacation.

Wednesday was the Writer Wednesday event, and bitch. It was a time. Not entirely bad, at all, just no exactly what we were expecting. I was off that day, and he was still feeling bad from everything Monday, so he stayed home. We went out and ran my writer errands aka got the supplies for me to mail my book submission for the Best Self Published Book contest, and took it by the post office. Only bad thing is, it came back because my dumb ass forgot to put postage on it. But give me a break, I’ve never really mailed anything before. Anyway, after some lunch and some relaxation, and then returning the rental car after they didn’t even fix his car, just saying, we headed to the Writer Wednesday event. And I thought it would be in like a room, despite it being in a bar, but no. This was full on taking place in the corner of a bar. It was sort of weird. I was doing  best to put myself out there and converse with everyone, but #socialanxiety am I right? But we ended up having some good conversations, and Allen got some teacher info, so I’m glad that he too got something out of it since he was just there for moral support. The last lady, Cindy, was the most helpful, and she was actually talking me out of looking for an agent. She basically affirmed everything I was already thinking anyway. So I just got to work on getting my book out there, however that happens to be. I still might do my whole plan of buying copies of my book and putting them on the shelves of Barnes & Noble myself 😂😂.

Wednesday was also the day of the Nintendo Direct and the hype for Fire Emblem: Three Houses is REAL. And a curve ball in the form of Dead By Daylight coming to Switch happened! Those are the two games I’m most excited for, mainly Fire Emblem though because I’m so far up their ass, it’s borderline tragic.

Thursday was Valentine’s Day, and I thought it would be cute if we sort of recreated our first Valentine’s Day together by seeing a movie and getting hibachi for dinner. So right after work that day, we sped to meet at the theater to make Isn’t It Romantic on time. We did, and Allen even snuck in some libation for us because #selfcare. The movie was so damn good, and I put it on par with the likes of 13 Going On 30 tbh. And afterwards, I tweeted about the movie (@justingrey22 #shamelessplug) and Rebel Wilson liked it! Then we went to Hibachi, has some sushi and drinks before our reservation since we had some time to kill. And dinner was great. Except for Trump’s Youth™️ at our table. This heterosexual couple, that looks younger than us, were staring us down the entire time, complete with whispering behind they’re hands to each other after looking at us. It was getting both of us riled up, and it’s just a shame that here in 2019 we’re still having to deal with this. I honestly blame the setback that is our current presidency, but this isn’t a political heavy blog, so moving on. Dinner was great as usual, and we headed home.

We missed all of our shows Thursday night, so after work Friday, we caught up on Will & Grace and Murder, the latter of which is getting better and better. It’s just a shame that the end of season is nigh. Then the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4 happened, and it was enough. I’m still bitter about the fact that Manila Luzon aka the real winner of All Stars 4 was eliminated for being the best and then the ending? The person who gets the crown? BOTH Monét and Trinity. It’s a shock to the series, sure, but I just feel like the decision was made in an attempt to do damage control. Trinity should have won the crown on her own. Sure, Manila should have won, but behind her, Trinity was the clear winner. I mean great I guess, it’s just dumb and a PR stunt and RuPaul cover his ass because the fandom is literally the worst. Ugh. Over it. That being said, we all know I’m still going to watch Season 11 when it premieres in a few weeks and that I’m not stopping the shit show anytime soon.

Also, I’m completely obsessed with Ariana Grande’s new album, thank u next. Ever since I reacted to it, it’s all I’ve been listening too because it’s honestly that good. My favorites, aside from last blog’s NP and this blog’s NP, I’m also obsessed with her song ghostin. Ugh. More of this trend, Ariana. Pure fucking hellfire. 

Today at work has been enough. Only four DMs here, I came in to four pallets of freight, the most I have since moving to Richmond and this store. Brb gonna drown my sorrows in Fire Emblem. That’s what the title is named after too. We were laying in bed and I want ranting on about Fire Emblem (it’s literally becoming a problem) and Allen was making fun of it and called it Water Badge. After hysterically laughing, I called it Earth Crest before Allen again fucked me up by calling it Air Pendant. Gotta love him haha. Chelsea and maybe her boyfriend Colin are coming over today, so that should be fun. No dabs though, please, still reeling from that experience. 

Until next time,

— Justin

Spicy Cold

| Now Playing: Needy by Ariana Grande |

Sorry if I'm up and down a lot
Sorry that I think I'm not enough
And sorry if I say sorry way too much

You can go ahead and call me selfish
But after all this damage, I can’t help it

But what you can trust is I need your touch

I’ma scream and shout for what I love

Passionate, but I don't give no fucks

I admit that I’m a lil' messed up

But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up

I'm obsessive and I love too hard

Good at overthinking with my heart

How you even think it got this far, this far?

And I can be needy

Way too damn needy

I can be needy

Tell me how good it feels to be needed

I can be needy

So hard to please me

I know it feels so good to be needed

________________________________________________________

Coming into work Monday, especially after having the entire weekend off (only because I called out), was interesting. It was a weird start to the week, because I thought I was in major trouble. We had a morning meeting at work, saying that as of Saturday, aka the day I called out, our point system for calling out was changing. Before this remedy, we were allowed to have up to 8 points in a six month rolling period. Now, that’s been diminished to 5. It may not seem like a big different, but it is. And considering I was at 4 points BEFORE I called out on Saturday, I was worried. However, the one silver lining through this endeavor was that all of our points before Saturday have been scrubbed, so at least I can rest easy knowing that we get to start with a clean state. Worries again arose when they told us that if you called out on a Friday or Saturday that you would be given 2 points instead of just 1. Well that caused a frenzy, and Tuesday they told us that they were wrong, and it’s actually still just 1 point. Thank God. The only days that I ever have called out have been in Saturdays when I just need a damn break. Working every single weekend, when I know that I’m only SUPPOSED to work one a month, is getting to be really taxing. That being said, work hasn’t been too awful. I’ve been coming into more freight than usual, the usual being none, but it hasn’t surpassed two pallets, so it’s been manageable, especially since I have an associate with me semi-regularly. Oh, and we have a new store manager, Tonya, who’s leaving Ashland and coming to us. So far, she seems like she’ll be good and easy to work with, but we shall honestly see. 

But after work Monday was a pretty good day haha. We still have been dealing with having no internet, but we found out that I can use my hotspot from my phone FOR FREE. I looked it up and it’s apparently a perk of having unlimited data with Verizon. I get slotted a certain amount of GBs just for hotspot that doesn’t even account for my regular data. It’s pretty awesome. Plus, I found out I can cancel paying for Apple Music, and I can get it FOR FREE from Verizon, yet another perk of having unlimited data. And considering that’s going to save me $100 a year, I’m all fucking for it. But anyway, my phone’s hotspot is fast as hell. After going through the lengthy process of downloading the base game of Sims 4, it downloaded all my packs in record time, it was honestly insane. Then Allen and I got to play Smash online for the first time in forever, which was something I realized I missed haha. We still played Smash, but there’s just something about beating an actual person at the game that just feels better haha. Also it’s this little thing that Allen and I get to do together that we both enjoy and it’s just a fun way to spend time together. 

Then, I found out that night about this really cool contest that James River Writers, the same non-profit that’s hosting the Writers Wednesday on the 13th, is having. It’s basically a contest for best self-published novel, and the winner gets featured in Richmond’s magazine and a cash prize of $500 dollars. So you bet your sweet ass I’m entering that contest. Honestly, more so because, even though the money would be awesome as hell, I want the exposure more than anything, because that’s what’s going to help me in the long run. The more people that know about my book / writing, the happier I’ll be professionally.

Tuesday, the internet started randomly working again after we got off work. This is after we scheduled someone to come out and look (they never showed up, but that’s a different story) but at least it’s working again? I was going to work through the week, aka work Wednesday (my scheduled day off) to make up for the fact that I called out Saturday, but after not sleeping for a few nights in a row, I needed the break, so I ended up keeping Wednesday off. I didn’t do much, just kind of relaxed even though the day wasn’t really relaxing? I kept trying to figure out how to make a Sims 4 let’s play, aka trying to find free recording equipment that was halfway decent, but I couldn’t really find anything. I finally played some Splatoon 2 again, motivated by catching up on Joseph Birdsong’s livestreams. And once Allen came home, I got my tax money! The plan is to pool it all into savings so we can get a place. I called a bunch of places and narrowed it down between two. Now it’s just trying to get a tour that’s on the agenda.

Allen and I did our yoga and pilates when we got home Thursday, followed by meditation, which I really need to do more of. Every time we do, I feel like I really need to do it more often, and I really want to stick with that. So hopefully we’ll be doing more of that. YO Grey’s Anatomy this past week got me fucked up, for real. Just ask Allen, I was absolutely losing it duding this week’s episode, and I looked like hell when it was over. I don’t know, it was just really intense crying. Also, I didn’t sleep well the night before (but I did some super later night writing so I guess that’s a pro) so maybe that influenced it? But really the episode was just super intense and super emotional. Love it. And while Murder is still good, I really wish it was ending this season. It would just be the perfect opportunity for the show to be perfectly wrapped up, but I think it’s going to continue.

Yesterday after work, Allen said he had a surprise for me. So we got into the car, and I had absolutely no idea where he was taking me haha. Eventually we arrived at the surprise, which was Richmond Wine Station. Neither of us has been before, and even though it was sort of a lot at first, it was pretty cool. There’s basically these vats of different wines and you can pour a certain amount and try all the wines. And it works sort of the like the arcade bar that we went to, where you load up a card and swipe the card at each station of wine and pour to your convenience. And then Katie joined us and we all had a good time. Plus, when we were looking for a place to eat afterwards, Katie said she knew of a really good Mexican place and bitch. I haven’t had really good Mexican food since leaving Salem. And this was so damn good. It was literally what I’ve been craving since I haven’t had the staple Alejandro’s in my life, so it was perfect. And aside from a little car trouble on the way home (literally his car had the vehicle equivalent of a hiccup, going out and not being able to accelerate or steer, it was weird), it was a pretty great evening. 

Work has been weird today. First of all, the computer system at work wasn’t working for the majority of the morning. And then, I couldn’t get my handheld because the lockers were locked out or something and it wouldn’t let anyone in. So I’ve basically gone all day without having access to the things that allow me to do my job faster, but also the things that allow me to do my job pretty much at all. But thankfully, the work day is almost over, and I can go home, watch Friday nights shows that we missed while enjoying the surprise, and gear up for my last full week of work before vacation! I’m so fucking excited, I wish I could truly express it. Honestly, I’m just ready to relax. 

The title of this blog is in reference to the old front, then heat wave this week, followed by the cold front again. Literary can’t decide between spicy and cold. That and Allen has been singing the When Did The Spiciness Begin song again, and it was just fitting. AND YO ARIANA DID THAT. Her latest album, thank u next, finally come out Friday and it has thoroughly exceeded my expectations. I drove all the way to Target on lunch yesterday just so I could react to it since work didn’t have it, and it was well worth it. I’m working on editing the video now, but it should be out soon. I’m just glad to have a true follow-up to Dangerous Woman because Sweetener wasn’t it. Also, the song Needy has me real messed up. That and Ghostin are my faves so far, but yeah, check it out. 

Until next time,

PARCHED

| Now Playing: Bury A Friend by Billie Eilish |

Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly

You're payin'? 

Is the amount cleanin' you out? 

Am I satisfactory?

Today, 

I'm thinkin' about the things that are deadly

The way I'm drinkin' you down

Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me

Step on the glass, staple your tongue

Bury a friend, try to wake up

Cannibal class, killing the son

Bury a friend, I wanna end me

What do you want from me? 

Why don't you run from me?

What are you wondering? 

What do you know?

Why aren't you scared of me? 

Why do you care for me?

When we all fall asleep

Where do we go?

It's probably

Something that shouldn't be said out loud

Honestly

I thought that I would be dead by now

Calling security

Keeping my head held down

Bury the hatchet or bury a friend right now

For the debt I owe

Gotta sell my soul

‘Cause I can't say no

No I can’t say no

Then my limbs all froze

And my eyes won't close

And I can't say no

I can't say no

Step on the glass, staple your tongue

Bury a friend, try to wake up

Cannibal class, killing the son

Bury a friend, I wanna end me

What do you want from me? 

Why don't you run from me?

What are you wondering? 

What do you know?

Why aren't you scared of me? 

Why do you care for me?

When we all fall asleep

Where do we go?

____________________________________________________

Happy February! You know what that means. It’s my birth month so obviously it’s all about me from now on 😂. Kidding, at least low key. I’m just ready for my vacation to get here so I can relax. 

This week has been sort of hard to get through. Not because work is exceptionally bad or anything, it’s just felt like a really long, slow work week. I’m actually starting to get my department back into shape, even though I literally had to throw breakpacks in the bin (which is a no no) just to clean up because I was told I was taking too long. So I guess the beginning of this week has been fairly frustrating. But since coming back from my day off, I’ve been able to work at my own place, do my own thing, keep in my process and routine, so it hasn’t been as bad. I’m slowly but surely getting the breakpacks and the random boxes of stuff just stuffed in boxes out of the bin. It’s a process. They messed up my schedule this weekend, scheduling me yet another Sunday, but I talked to management about it so hopefully they fix that. If not, I’ll just go ahead and “call out” Sunday, even though I’m not available that day. And if they try to point me, I’m fighting the hell that comes with getting it removed. Speaking of work, I reapplied for a Books A Million position, full-time, that I was interested in, so I’m gonna start calling about that next week. Fingers crossed!

FINALLY, after literally forever, I got my W2 Wednesday. Thankfully, I was able to get my W2, filed my taxes while I was on lunch, and was accepted before I even left work, all in one day. I’m not getting back quite as much as last year, but still pretty damn close, and the plan is to save it all. Allen and I are itching to get our own place, and this tax season is really going to help us be able to do that. You know that feeling you get when you’re home, and it’s your day off, and you just decide it’s a chill day and it’s just super relaxing? Lately, my days off, while they’ve been great and I guess pseudo relaxing, there’s just something about being able to relax in your own place, even if your current space feels like home, you know? I just hope we can make it happen this Fall / a little bit before school starts, and we’ll be moved in and ready to go.

My day off this week, Tuesday, was literally completely spent trying to download Sims 4 to my MacBook, and it was a journey. A journey that’s not quite concluded, I might add, because while it took more than 12 hours (I’m not kidding. TWELVE HOURS) to download the game, it only downloaded the base game, so none of the add-ons that I’ve purchased have been downloaded yet. And considering ya boy has bought a lot of Sims 4 dlc, it’s probably going to take another 12 hours for it to be completely finished. Speaking of internet, since Thursday, we’ve been dealing with not having internet. We came home and it just wasn’t working. And it hasn’t been working since. Allen called Sunday and were having someone come out because they don’t really know what is causing it. So hopefully that gets sorted out soon because my reupload of my book got rejected for a small detail, and I need the internet to fix said detail so I can upload it again and be square. I don’t think I’ll have enough time to have a copy of my book by Writer’s Wednesday, but at least I can bring my proof copy if I want.

Friday was a pretty great day. Luckily, work has been pretty good that past several days, so when Allen was saying we were grabbing dinner with Kelly, I was looking forward to it. But it turned into hanging out with a friend if there’s from high school, and even though I had to work Saturday, I was down for it. Only thing is, is we ended up staying quite a while and drinking quite a bit, so I ended up having to call out, but it wasn’t a big deal. I had been itching for a weekend off, because I have to work literally every weekend, so honestly it just gave me an excuse to allow myself to have a weekend off. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them, and we ended up getting home super late, and then sleeping in until noon the next day, and Saturday was basically spent recovering. And Sunday was spent wallowing in no internet, but we made the best of it. Got sushi, and then we sat down and FINALLY started Modern Family because I’ve been bitching that Allen and I should start it, since he hasn’t seen it all the way through so that was lovely.

And the title of this blog is from last Sunday. I don’t think I mentioned it but Fox’s Rent Alice, starring the one and only Valentina, aired. It was fairly okay, nothing too crazy. But Vanessa Hudgens as Maureen was probably the highlight. And when she was doing the whole Jump Over The Moon bit, the way she said parched had me and Allen rolling. Then we said it in Milly’s voice, then naming her Moolly, and it spiraled from there haha. I’m hoping for a low key week tbh. I’m gonna try to work through until next Sunday, but it depends on how work goes tbh. Also, I really wanna do a Sims let’s play. Like really bad. And play Splatoon! Joseph Birdsong got me fucked up. AND I AM LITERALLY OBSESSED with Billie’s new song. Ugh. So good. 

Until next time,

— Justin
