Movies and Why I'm a Stickler

Hello again people! So far, the alarm is going fantastic! I was at the movies for a nice matinee, and as soon as I walked out, and turned my phone back on (Yeah... I actually do that), my alarm went off and I raced home to write this. So, here we are...now....

So yeah, I actually listen to the cringe-y movie commercials when they tell me to silence my phone. I used to just put it on vibrate, but sometimes if the group message is a little crazy that can lead to a lot of annoying vibrations from my pocket. Also, if I'm not using it anyway, I might as well just turn it off.

Here's my reasoning for this:

  1. I don't like noise in movie theaters unless it's coming from the actual movie
  2. I'd feel embarrassed if my phone were to go off during a movie
So there you go. I guess I'm just a polite person. The noise thing is also why I stopped going to midnight premieres. Which started at first because I worked in the early morning, so I couldn't stay up late to watch a movie. I would just go the next day at a matinee. Which is a thousand times better; in my opinion. There's less people, which means less noise, and it's cheaper. There's really no cons that I can think of.

I've done it so much now that I can't even stand going to movies if it's not a matinee. Especially Marvel movies. Holy cow can those viewers get on my nerves. There's always that group of people that get way too excited. The last superhero movie I saw the night it came out was Wonder Woman. I have a lot to say about that movie, but I can save that for another time because anyone that knows me knows my opinions on that DC disappointment.

ANYWAY, while I was there, there was this lady. Now this lady was my arch nemesis. Every time a character opened their mouth the room echoed with horrible cackling. She would bounce up and down in her seat (by the way this woman was at least 43), clap very loud, and talk at the top of her lungs. I swear, she was so excited at one point that she BROKE HER CHAIR. Literally, she was so giddy with whatever was happening that her chair broke underneath her and she fell to the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I'm not a stickler. I love when other people enjoy themselves at movies. That's the whole point of going to see movies. To have fun. But, people like that are the worst. Nobody can like that person. You have to have some kind of restraint when you're out in public. I don't know. Maybe I'm being a shitty person. I didn't know her whole story, but I vowed to never go to another midnight premiere after that. I'd rather pay to watch the movie at home. What do you guys think? Let me know.

Talk to you tomorrow. Buh-bye now.

Mental Illnesses Personified

Image
Alright, so this morning I was sent a link this morning to 15 illustrations of mental illnesses represented as houses. It was really cool and thought-provoking, so, thanks to Nyla Grigsby for sending me the link. I'll share it here . Check it out, but not before you read this post (obviously). After looking through those pictures, I was reminded of a series of drawings I found a couple years ago with the same idea (only much more frightening - which I like). If you're not aware, every October, artists from all around the world participate in a drawing challenge called "InkTober" where they make one ink drawing a day for the entire month. In October 2016, an amazing artist Shawn Coss  decided to make his own original prompt for the month. Shawn wanted to focus primarily on personifying mental illnesses and disorders. These illustrations are crazy awesome, scary, realistic . Shawn manages to capture the struggle and turmoil of those who suffer with these illnesses

Y2K Bug / New Blog

Y2K bug, also called Year 2000 bug or Millennium Bug, a problem in the coding of computerized systems that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000 (in metric measurements K stands for thousand). After more than a year of international alarm, feverish preparations, and programming corrections, few major failures occurred in the transition from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000. Until the 1990s, many computer programs (especially those written in the early days of computers) were designed to abbreviate four-digit years as two digits in order to save memory space. These computers could recognize “98” as “1998” but would be unable to recognize “00” as “2000,” perhaps interpreting it to mean 1900. Many feared that when the clocks struck midnight on January 1, 2000, many affected computers would be using an incorrect date and thus fail to operate properly unless the computers’ software was repaired or r

GOING AWAY PARTY!

HELLO LOYAL READERS! All 7 or 8 of you if I'm not mistaken. Thank you for continuing to read my blog every day for the last 310 days! Or, if you've just clicked on the links without reading the articles, that's also okay because it still shows up as if you did read it, so thanks for even clicking the links at all. I'm sure they were getting annoying after around day 50. Good thing I went on for another 260! So, I've been thinking about this move for a while now, and I think today is the perfect day to do it. While, yes, this will be the last post on this specific platform, it will NOT be the last you hear of me chucking my random interests into your faces. In fact, I like to think of this as an upgrade. An upgrade that will benefit all of us! Now that I've finally figured out how Patreon works, THAT will be where any blog posts, interesting articles, short stories and general updates on what's going on in my life will be posted. This way I can
