7/25 - Finally watched the Rebuilds!

Will write a more in depth blog at some point but yea! Marathoned those suckers, plus the 'first 12 minutes, 10 seconds, 14 frames' etc. of 3.0+1.0.

Overall, p good! I think to have a full appreciation of the characters, one would benefit from having seen the original, but excluding that idea, I think the Eva Rebuilds were fun and interesting! I actually haven't looked too much into their production yet, since, idk, I kinda missed the boat when they were coming out? Even though I was partially in certain circles at the time.

I remember ppl losing their mind over 2.22. It was so divisive, it seemed. I enjoyed it, but I get why it would cause a split in opinion in the established fanbase.

I've never thought that rebooting, remaking or reimaginings of properties ever damaged the original, so I've never gotten upset at anything like that. If you don't like the new thing, you can just not watch it and go watch the original/whatever version you enjoy. Anyone that says 'new thing is destroying old thing' is wrong, lest old thing be removed from viewing/access to promote new thing.

Anyway I saw a lot of that idea flying around when 2.22 premiered. I have the suspicion that whoever stuck around after that also enjoyed 3.33 because I didn't see too much discourse when that launched - mostly just Kaworu memes. To be fair, I was also leaving fandom spaces around that time though. I could be completely off the mark either way.

But yeah, mostly enjoyed the movies, deffo warrants a rewatch for sure.

Have you seen them? What are your thoughts on the rebuilds/eva in general?

07/27 - New jobs - are you a 'momentum' kinda person?

Ohhhhh my goddddd finally!!

I finished training/board certification TWO MONTHS AGO for my day job. My 2nd job is one I'm returning to, just at a different and better location. But GOD I've been so stressed and broke, I'm happy I'm starting both this week.

I've tried yknow, gig and delivery apps but gas was so expensive (still is, but going down) and all busy areas were 50+ miles away so... idk just in a dead spot. How inconvenient.

But yea. I've been having a really bad mental health rut since graduation. I've stopped talking to most people, and since I've been broke w/o a job, I haven't left the house much. But I know I work best with momentum. Newton's 3rd n all that. Once I get going, it'll be easier for me to do more. Though I plan to just throw myself into work for a while so I can chip away at debt and move out by December, I'll feel better just making any sort of progress, instead of laying around n wasting away.

What about you? Do you thrive off momentum, or do you do better with energy spurts? Or something else entirely?

07/31 - Two jobs and no days off is....

....going okay, I guess? I'm p tired, but I was tired before and not rly doing anything while waiting for work to start.

I miss my partner tho. Feels like we're ships passing in the night, even tho we sleep in the same bed lol
