Just sat through an incredibly long ASPCA commercial.
What exactly did cats and dogs do before humans were around to cater to their every need?
I never see commercials asking for money to help the stray horses.

I’m so restless these days for literally no reason I think I just need to go on an adventure or something. My grandmother would say I need to accept Jesus. Alas…

Canadians I am here all month in almost all the provinces so shout if there’s anything interesting out here. I’ve mostly only ever been to Ontario.

Watching the news in Canada is a lot less flashy than watching the news in the US. However, the way they discuss the US on Canadian TV gives me intense second-hand embarrassment. XD

I did watch an Irish show where they dropped that bomb every other sentence I found it quite shocking since you used to never hear it over here. XD But now in the US everyone uses “cunty” as a compliment but not the OG.

Somehow I'm not even surprised.

Star Wars day is tomorrow but I have to do both a matinee and an evening show. Maybe I’ll just decorate the catering room…

He was probably thinking about American soldiers specifically. And I was like "yes, American soldiers specifically were definitely responsible for some percentage of rapes happening in WWII." And he was just like... "nah we're the good guys!"

Me: War and rape always go hand in hand.
Dad: Yeah maybe in medieval times but not now.
Me: Uh... it definitely still happens now.
Dad: Not during WWII.
Me: Anywhere WWII touched ground, I can guarantee you, soldiers of every nationality were raping the locals.
Dad: I never heard about it.
Me: I mean WWII movies are obviously not going to highlight that. Doesn't mean it wasn't happening.
Dad: No I think your history is wrong.
Me: 🤡

Did The Substance win anything at the Oscars? I feel like I heard they did pretty well at all the other prize parties.

Nope. If I’m out with friends I might have hot chocolate. I do have cans of soup at home though.

My sister is once again perplexed that all I have by way of beverages in my apartment is milk and water. But it’s just me here! No reason to get fancy.

The more you know!
Due to my profession I spend a lot more time in Nashville than I’d like, and I’m always just about ready to blow my brains out before even getting out of the airport cause of the twang.

Found it! Despite having worked numerous folk festivals, there’s usually such a big international component that I figured American folk consisted of more country music and hymns. Though if I had to describe the music in the film, I’d say it was some category of country. Country music with less noise. Could be for hippies, could also be for community gatherings in Appalachia.

I don’t know that was nominated! My mom actually took me to see that one. It was interesting given I knew nothing about the artist going in.

Talking to my tour friend about all these plane crashes and bird flu and the hijacking of the government and we have agreed we should just cancel all the tours until everyone sorts themselves out. 🤡
Alas, bills must be paid. So I guess I'll start packing my bags.

Film Thoughts: Dirty Dancing
Have you ever wondered what "The Shining" would be like if it took place during the summer?
It's the 60s and it's time to go to summer camp but for the whole family! Gilderoy Lockhart is the dancing heartthrob of summer camp. Unfortunately he is both a presumed scoundrel and poor so even though wives throw themselves at him, daughters need not apply! In comes Baby(?) who may or may not be legal who discovers the secret den of the summer camp workers who engage in scoliosis-inducing dance moves - dancing dirtily. Turns out Gilderoy Lockhart is the opposite of what you expect him to be and while Baby learns a lot about the reality of being poor, everyone comes together in the end to acknowledge that kindness is power!
Despite its title and half the movie being dance training montages, I did not find most of the dancing to be that impressive. And despite this movie saying it is supposed to be the summer of 1963, our final dance number is to a track that is decidedly 80s. I am unsure why this choice was made. Once again a film showcases that if you just keep your hands to yourself, you can avoid a good chunk of life's problems. Nonetheless, we end with a positive message and I'm all about positive messaging.
As a side note, this film has also reminded me why it would be a headache to ever work for a cruise line. Imagine being stuck with the audience of your shows even when off the clock!
Rating: 6/10
It has been recommended to me to try watching the film "Trainspotting." So after the failure that was "Moulin Rouge," it's time I give Obi-Wan Kenobi a second chance.

So I usually take this government contract in the summers in DC. A decent sized production. Got told today the hiring freeze and unknown budget situation for the arts has all the year round hires confused and unable to make any progress in pre-production. Then some full timers don’t even live on DC so aren’t sure if they can keep working there or not in the first place since their remote work policy existed long before the pandemic. They still haven’t heard back on if they’re allowed to move forward with their internship program either.

I've spent maybe 17 seconds of my life ever thinking about Neil Gaiman but is it blasphemous for me to say I wouldn't be shocked if David Tennant got busted for something similar at some point? Yes I enjoy him in Doctor Who but irl he always gives me weird vibes. XD

So I'm a big "eggs for breakfast" person but now the internet is telling that eggs will suddenly be either $100 or unavailable because of politics. Should I ration what I currently have? 🤣

Well I know my file has been looked at before at least once by someone since my friend listed me as a person she knows for her military background check and now her husband is also in the secret service. 👀 And I did have a very low level government contract that one time lol.
Omg the feds are gonna come get me.

Alrighty. Trump is in office but the power is still on and I don't hear military helicopters overhead so... without turning on the TV... I will assume... everything is... fine...

We're only around three months away from Daredevil and Andor putting out episodes at the same time. I apologize for the person I will become during such an important period of human history.
