I recently found out about a film called The Voourdalak. Its a French film from 2023 and I just stumbled upon it while looking through a list of Vampire movies. They used practical effects which I ADORE, was a really fun watch and DEFINATLY recommend as a Halloween flick. It puts a tragic spin on the original Dracula story. It is a bit of a comedy too though which is awesome. The actors were really good. I loved the cinematography and just it's whole look and feel. Found a cool photo of the puppet they used being painted.
Worked a landscaping job this summer for my co-op program. I was nervous to start it because I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up with everyone else on the job, but I ended up enjoying it? Which surprised people for some reason. I really enjoy physical work. Hard to explain why, I guess the best way to word it is that the job 'roughed me up', and that brings me this immense sense of pride. I got a bunch of bruises and cuts and there was this one time where a trailer door almost crushed me but I freakin loved it. Which is kind of masochistic and its kinda scary how much I enjoyed that, but I did. I also ended up meeting some really cool people there. Don't know how long we're realistically gonna keep in touch, but it was nice to actually be able to spend time and connect with people for once. My jeans and boots ended up super beat up
Near the end of the job there was a company BBQ, all the people I got along with at the company was there. That was the first time I'd socially drank. That was sort of bitter-sweet because I'd always had another idea about where and who I'd experience that with. Can't complain though. The first time I had a beer was on a lonely evening in the dark. I wanted my first drink to be with my parents, but that wasn't gonna happen so I just went for it. I remember being disgusted by the taste. Basically my first drink was alone so I'm glad I wasn't alone the first time I had a drink out in the open as an adult.
I was DREADING going back to school this October, but here I am again. Did get to talk a bit with my favorite professor though which was nice. Just gonna tough it out for 3 more months and then I can (hopefully) graduate from my program. What will I do after, who knows? Not me. In the meantime I'm back on the job market! Gonna apply to be a Santa's Elf this December :')
Tried out D&D last week for the first time. I made a character I named Duck and did NOT know what to do. I barely made him do anything because I wasn't too sure what was going on if we're being honest. There was a bonfire afterwards though, had a beer and played with a dog (allergies were popping off after but that was the highlight). Not SUPER into it yet, but I think I need to give it a couple more gos to see if I like D&D or not.
Joined a club at my school finally! It's a pride club. I'm nervous to be a part of it, not super out IRL and recently I've been really on-edge about being queer. I barely talk about it with anyone and find that I've been avoiding the subject whenever it comes up. I've also been hesitant to join because I didn't want to bump into a person I went on a date with last year. I just felt that we didn't click so didn't really wanna pursue it, but I saw them on accident a couple months later and sort of froze. I meant to say hello but the moment passed and they moved along before I could do anything. Still feel a bit guilty about that. But its the last semester at my school and where else am I gonna be able to connect with other Queer people?
Found out about this super cool arcade in my city. Hoping to check it out next week. Sometimes they get in a DJ to play records so would LOVE to catch that.
Life felt pretty good over the summer. Think the winter depression is starting to sink in again. That means I'm picking up the guitar again soon. Maybe I'll learn a song other than Bob Marley's Three Little Birds riff, might get craaazzz. My favourite song this summer has been Crying Lightning by Arctic Monkeys so might try to work on being able to play a snippit of that. Glad I'm able to wear sweaters again but realized that I need to update my collection. Trying to get back into drawing. Today I drew some skeletals of a moose. Lots of cherry shakes over the last couple of months.
