5/17/22 - same kablam time, same kablam network

So, I haven't blogged in almost a week. I have a fair excuse for that. I WAS SICK!!!!! It was awful. I'm still recovering. My throat hurty :( but it was a lot worse the past few days. So, I just had no energy to do any blogging. Let's speedrun the past few days.


I went up to Pennsylvania to visit my cousin and help him move home from college. His campus is stupidly nice, and his friends were fun to hang out with. He lives close to an amusement park up there too, named Knoebels. Knoebels is probably best known for Phoenix, which has won the Golden Ticket Award for best wooden coaster three years in a row now. The ride was incredible. Honestly made the entire trip worth it to be able to ride that absolute beast of a ride. The airtime was unimaginable, made even better by the lack of a seatbelt (yes, they somehow can get away with that). The rest of the rides in the park honestly weren't nearly as good, and the other coaster I was looking forward to riding the most (Flying Turns) was closed. Still, I had fun.

I finished Girls' Last Tour, and god damn was that a good show. I wasn't personally a fan of the ending, but I won't get into detail there because I don't want to spoil anything. The show was just, really great and really interesting to watch and think about how our world could maybe one day look like that. The last few episodes just ripped away any sense of real dread the show might have had, and shoved it into your face that this was a fake TV show that could never happen. A shame, but at least the first ten episodes or so are still great.

This Sunday I had another big training day at my job. It was absolutely miserable to go through with it while being sick, but I took my temperature in the morning and didn't have a fever. I figured I probably just had an awful headache from not sleeping well at all, so I powered through. By the end of the day I was in awful condition, but at least I made it through! My next training day is this Friday, and I think that might be the last one? We'll find out soon enough, I suppose.

I think I've found a new show to obsess over. For the first time in a long time, it isn't even an anime. I was poking around YouTube today and found a channel that recreates old 90s and 2000s kids channel blocks. Specifically, I ended up watching a video for an old 1997 Snick (Saturday Night Nickelodeon) recreation. The first episode in the video was an old episode of the old, semi-obscure show KaBlam!. I ended up kind of falling in love with it. The concept feels super unique, and much of the shorts featured in the show feel even more unique. It's such a joy to be able to put on this show and go through all these different animation styles for these wildly different shows, and have them all neatly tied together by the massively entertaining duo of Henry and June. If you want to be my friend at any point in the foreseeable future, just talk about KaBlam!.

Tomorrow, I just hope to get this sore throat to go away for good. And to watch more KaBlam!.

Love and Mercy,
theangel
