I don’t speak in tongues, but I can get you there

I am formally giving up the dream that I will finish the Christmas Challenge before vacation but that means I get to enjoy the movies for more of the holiday season and that’s ok. I guess. 😅

Made the Christmas challenge list in Letterboxd if anyone wants it boxd.it/QmJmY

I could cry I’m so excited for the Christmas challenge. I got to hear my spouse attempt to explain it to my family while I was getting ready today and it was honestly so sweet 🥹

As a kid my siblings and I would wake up early, hang out in one of our bedrooms and speculate on what might be waiting under the tree. Nothing has recaptured that sense of anticipation like waiting for the Christmas Challenge playlist to drop.

I’ve been talking to cuties every evening the past few days but now it’s holiday time and I have no one to text :(

I currently have two people participating in a brat taming competition via text (and doing an excellent job) but they have no idea 🥰 because I am the ultimate brat.

Spouse and I decided we’d like to explore an open relationship and it’s wild how secure I feel in our relationship because of that???

I believe with my whole heart and half of the recipes online have never been cooked by a human person

You don’t understand how badly I want the Christmas Challenge movie list early just to schedule my watches to ensure efficiency and maximum… enjoyment?

If you give a film 2.5 stars and write 12 paragraphs of a review, I just assume you don’t know how to watch movies

If I watch 12 hours of Christmas challenge movies a day from Nov. 28 to Dec. 6, I’ll finish the challenge and not lose any time to family vacation or other December plans. That’s going by the assumption the entire challenge will be around 100 hours 😅😅 (Meow, plz don’t fck me on this!)

My contributions to tucked in Tuesday

There’s so many movies I need to watch asap and I somehow have very little time for movies at the moment? WHO AM I.

My heart hurts for the Blue Jays. Just let them score so everyone can go to bed!!

Not everyone with a camera and Lightroom is a wedding photographer. Just a reminder.

I just watched a man next to me on this plane open + respond to a spam “I’d like to talk to you about a job opportunity” LinkedIn DM. He didn’t check the senders profile or if they have connections in common. Just gave them his phone number and exactly when he’s free! Boomers are terrifying.

Hello I cannot sleep because my little adhd brain has become addicted to the show ER. I’m 3.5 seasons in and barely know the name of any character but I can’t break the fixation and I’m so very tired.

Have you ever watched someone become the most boring version of themselves? It’s painful.

Really think everyone should be worshipping me this way.

Last guest post!! It’s very special to me because it’s written by my brother 💜 open.substack.com/pub/xapismar...

The pacing of The Rock is kind of really odd…

Listening to Evacuate the Dance Floor while near drowning yourself with saline nasal spray. What a vibe.

first guest host EVER on TFYT! open.substack.com/pub/xapismar...

Leaving for the longest work trip of my life tomorrow. I will probably be crying and panicking all day. Please send treats and love.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

In case you’re curious, I still change all the movie backdrops of the films I log on Letterboxd to walking scenes (when available)

Why are all cops such fuckin’ losers.

Listen, having a cousin who is an FBI agent is crazy cause like… no one in the comments section actually knows what’s going on but she always fills me in on stuff

I only hope hell is real so I can imagine James Dobson burning there

People like to hate on Taylor Swift but like, have you listened to a Twenty One Pilots song? You cannot deny the similarities

I’m logging absolute trash on Letterboxd right now but my brain cannot handle well crafted stories at the moment. Please bear with me, regularly schedule programming will resume in October, probably.

A man a foot shorter than me decided he definitely needed to recline his seat in front of me. On yet another under 3 hours domestic flight. Unacceptable at best.

Why is everyone watching 13 Hours? Like, it is not a featured film on the seatback screens and yet I have seen so many people choose it on both flights today!

Best friend’s bf cheated on her. They’re working it out. He’s in a band I really like and they came out with a new single this weekend and I’m mad because I like it but I’m frustrated with him. Dating musicians is a scam.

You’re on an 90 minute domestic flight, you do not need to lean your seat back.

Ordering a frapp at 530a from the CMH airport Starbucks is a WILD move

Finally watched K-pop Demon Hunters

I cannot wrap my head around someone having wild sex and then being like “I’d like the outcome of this activity to be 18 years of heightened responsibility”

Nine people (including myself) have purchased tickets to the first showing of Freakier Friday on Thursday. Seven of those tickets are solo seats, which is somehow wildly comforting to me.
