Please choose art over AI slop. On the left, my first watercolor painting. On the right, 6 months later. I created art because it felt good to do it. I share this in the hope some will see that AI does not save time, but takes away the journey.

Face reveal, wrong answers only.

First trailer for Coyote vs. ACME, starring John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte. The Looney Tunes movie is in theaters on August 28.

Rewatching an oldie but a goodie anime called Key The Metal Idol. A very slow burn with one season but I love the character designs and the acting for the English dub.

Surprised my hubby with tickets to see The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act in theaters. 🎥 🍿 🫧 🎪

So, hey. Turns out I’m a quick learner and pretty okay at Mahjong! 🀄️

Yesterday; I learned to play Mahjong 🀄️ and made some new friends.

Was studying mandarin and I found this in my work book. It’s my last name! Lin. It means “two trees/forest/grove/woods” and I already knew that but what I didn’t know it was considered a pictograph character. This is fun! (Anyway, I just wanted to share what I learned. K bye!)

We regret nothing. Love you, Alex <3 (Me and @bibianobeats.bsky.social are mentally borked.) #TADC #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #ASDFMovie16

Finally found someone selling a volume from an OOP manga series I’ve been collecting. I can’t wait to treasure it and give it a forever home in my manga library. ❤️

I truly hope that someday I’ll be fortunate enough to be a voice on a show that people will miss as much as Smiling Friends. I have so much respect for creatives who end their shows on their own terms. I haven’t felt this way about a show since Gravity Falls, and even Daria.

I miss doing this silly little voice. ❤️@toucanldm.bsky.social and I were just talking about finding a way for me to use this voice in a future animation project. I hope more voice acting opportunities come my way that allow me be this adorkable.🎙️

Boothie! 🎙️

Happy Year of the Fire Horse! It’s The Grand Chawhee’s year long birthday!

Movie ticket #300! 🎫 Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair at the @MusicBoxTheatre. A SOLD OUT double-feature on 70mm film. It was a real theater experience. People were cheering and clapping at the end, me included. I am so grateful it’s my 300th movie I saw in theaters.

Turned a mistake while painting with watercolors into a fluffy cat!

Learning Mandarin is workout. I actually finished my lessons tonight a little sweaty. The language pushes me to listen harder, which I know will benefit my voice acting. It almost feels like I’m practicing my scales and arpeggios.

Movie ticket number 299! Was lucky to see #Sinners with @wingsofarachne. This movie deserves every academy award nomination and more! This horror musical is cinema and is gonna become a timeless classic.

I’m learning a friend is losing their vision. I want to be there for them. He is working on a charity fundraiser for another person who is also experiencing hard times. Artists will donate art for the charity auction. I need to push myself and be there and help make this dream come true!

I start my mandarin lessons tonight. I’m nervicited. I have a lot of hope that good things will be born from these lessons.

Really tough day. Really tough. I’m about to pass out. I’m so close to finishing my over time at my day job. I need the extra money or it’s gonna take me forever to save up for the thing I need for my brain to be okay with moving on to the next thing I need to do.

Gonna go into 2026 strong. I finally signed up for Mandarin school and will be starting my journey to learning a second language. I can’t wait to be proficient enough to include in my voice acting repertoire.

Today marks 5 years since Dad died. During my time at an IOP program, I responded well to art therapy and this year I decided to paint with watercolors from Thanksgiving to New Years. Maybe I can do this every year from now on. I guess we’ll see.

The time just flew by. My movie ticket is now on display with the movie poster. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, is worth experiencing at the cinema. Grateful I got to experience it one more time.

I love the opportunity animators are creating to get their stories out there. Let this pilot cook. In fact, maybe I’ll help with the prep. 🎢

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

A cutie pie so good you’ll want seconds. I need to see Frankenstein in theaters but this time in IMAX.

The movie was magnificent. And I had an actual, “Oh-no-he’s-hot” moment.

I’m so happy right now that my bones are dancing!

Good Saturday morning! 🥣📺

Fun Sheila fact: I learned the Thriller for a Halloween show at iO Chicago years ago. I then taught the dance for other improv Halloween shows. Sometimes, I practice the dance should an opportunity ever rise from the dead again. You never know!

Presently, this is my social life. There isn’t enough me to go around and no one is letting go!

Went into my recording session tonight like I ate the Mike power from Kirby!

I LOVE when a director gives me permission to go wild and use my improv training during a voice over session. My recordings today were particularly fun! 😝 YEAAAAHH!!!

Seems like it’s par for the course that VAs need to post advice on social media. I keep thinking that I’m not famous/important enough to give advice that others would listen to. Maybe it’s silly and I will still try. I hope I can help someone feel seen, be stronger, and try! 🎙️

Post-Wedding Dungeons & Dragons Live Session! (It’s usually virtual, so it’s an extra special session today.)

W/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

A few of my creative influencers 🎙️ Julie Kavner 🎙️ Laurie Metcalf 🎙️ CCH Pounder 🎙️ Joan Cusack 🎙️ Trina Nishimura 🎙️ Sherry Lynn 🎙️ Catherine O’Hara 🎙️ Enuka Okuma 🎙️ Wendie Malick

Sometimes, I think about how cool Laurie Metcalf is. I wish I could learn from her. Her talent knows no limit. She is incredible! Just…incredible. ✨

Didn’t know what my DVD collection was missing until I saw it!

Absolutely needed the delicious healing powers of Mr. Kimchi Korean BBQ

Annual full body exam at the dermatologist. While doing a mole check, doc said under her breath “you are so good at your sun protection” and then complimented my complexion. Does this mean I earned a small smackerel as a treat?

Hey, remember Gordon Deitrich (played by Stephen Fry) from V for Vendetta (2005)? Remember how he was a late-night talk show host, and what happened after he made jokes about Chancellor Adam Sutler/ Norsefire? Remember, remember? Good film. I own it on DVD! Movie night?

For those canceling their streaming subscriptions, I would like to remind you about the magic of physical media! And if money is a concern, your local library (which your taxes already pay for) is always there to help.
