*Blog entry started on February 13, 2020.
I was able to locate another journal with some unpublished works from 2010. Much of the stuff made the Illinois Central College's Harbinger student newspaper, in an edited, almost humorless form. Being the composition book that was dedicated to the script-writing course I dropped, the works could be considered the finality of when I was full of hope.
My return to ICC was based around taking that course, but when it was more worthless exercise than actual creativity, I dropped the course despite my A-level work. This was shortly after my 30th birthday, so midlife crisis bullshit may have also been involved. With that said a fortnight before my 40th, perhaps I should leave that binder in my Domo-kun messenger bag. At least that reminds me I have not looked at Kid Robot in a while.
And after a quick review of the website, I just went and followed them on Instagram. And then I realized that I should have just used Twitter. Then again, no one, even I give a shit about my Instagram, so why mess around with my following to follower ratio on my primary social media? It is definitely better to mock Zuckerberg.
With little to write about, my anxiety is starting to pick up. I have 16 edibles left, but the weather and allergies can make for tough mornings. Has somebody made a decongestant with THC to avoid multiplication of effects?
The better quarter (Eva the Cat will always get half) is doing her best to accommodate my tendencies, but the week can be a bit of a blur for her. Or she is just getting impatient with wrestling from Monday to Wednesday.
You can play video games if you want to.
"Dynamite" is on the DVR.
Wrestling is part of C2E2 this year, and since I have tickets for "Revolution", I must budget to pay for the tickets and hotel accommodations. Sitting on money is not something I am known for doing well. The event falls on my birthday, and typically Dad will cover the expenses because of that, but he is already putting the bill to see the Cubs in London, asking him to cover the con seems a tad pushy.
And since I am not planning on sheltering their daughter all the time in a couple months, I doubt the "wish they were" laws to treat me.
At least I got all the Cubs trip stuff taken care of, aside from a West End itinerary. I braved the first big snowfall of the new year to get my preseason Cubby ink. Last (and only) time I got a preseason Cubs tat, the World Series trophy found a home in Chicago. It looks good and worth my Mom only doing half of my laundry since she wanted me heading back to Champaign before the weather worsened.
If there is anything to worry about the vacation this summer, it is that I am waiting on my passport. Here is to hoping customs does not visit blogs and social media to determine whether or not I am a risk or a poor representative of this once great nation. Good thing for the multiple surnames.
At least let me get my papers, then let Donald Trump get pissy and limit emigration from this liberal state. Would Mom tell Dad to move to Indiana so she can vacation across the pond? I do not want to temp fate, but Trump won four days after the Cubs won, that shit seems like something that can happen.
With how the blog is aligned, I think I still need some more content for this entry. Unfortunately, there have not been the ideal conditions to watch "Smash Cut" with Sasha Grey. It is a pain because I doubt that I will be able to get it back to Netflix before my next DVD cycle resets.
I checked IMDb to see what I was missing, and that resulted in me finding out that "The Godfather of Gore" Herschell Gordon Lewis has a role. Regardless of what "Blood Feast" and "Wizard of Gore" did for the Grindhouse scene, they do not seem to be good flicks. With bad movies on the mind, let me make some predictions for the 40th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.
40th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards
Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property
Joker: This is not an annual award, and since the Razzies always wants to seem to stick it to some film that may have received too much praise, this is a good chance to do so.
Have I seen any of the nominees? No I have not. The other four nominations just do not seem to have many chances to destroy public property. "Rambo: Last Blood's" finale is a "Home Alone" homage. "Dragged Across Concrete" may destroy plenty, but I do not imagine riots. "Hellboy's" fantasy action will not make you feel it and hauntings are not known for their range, thus it will not be "The Haunting of Sharon Tate".
Adam Sandler for "Uncut Gems": Nine Razzie wins are on his record. This is an award for a performer who should have been nominated for an Oscar this year. Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Lopez were snubbed by the academy as well, but even their Razzie home runs (Worst Actor and Worst Actress of the Decade respectively) cannot catch up to nine singles.
Cats: It is tough to predict because they usually choose a hit to give it to. After the Oscars stunt with James Corden and Rebel Wilson, there is a good chance the film sweeps. "Rambo: Last Blood" and "A Madea Family Funeral" were not bombs, but they were not a "Fifty Shades" or Snyder "DC" film.
Hellboy: I do not think Neil Marshall is going to win director, so if this was a politics-based ballot, I think they give "Hellboy" the award to even things out. Lesser known IP that gets a reasonable push usually wins this anyway ("The Lone Ranger", "Land of the Lost").
Jason Derulo and His CGI-neutered Bulge for "Cats": It was not an election year so bullshit political propaganda was ignored. The awards are going for funny with this one, so this is the obvious choice.
Judi Dench as Old Deuteronomy for "Cats": It is either her or Rebel Wilson from that film, and I think the voters will go mean.
James Corden as Bustopher Jones for "Cats": Bruce Willis could win because of his notoriety. The ballot wants people to know about "Zeroville", so Seth Rogen has a chance.
Anne Hathaway as Karen Zariakas for "Serenity": One Wiki page has her listed as being nominated for this and her role in "The Hustle" another covering the awards does not. (The Official Website has her for both.) There are definitely going to be voters who will want to award both her and "The Hustle" costar Rebel Wilson. There are definitely going to be voters who will want to award her and her "Serenity" costar Matthew McConaughey. Being the constant amongst two sets of voters should carry her to the win.
James Franco as Vikar for "Zeroville": I think this film has to leave with something. The "Cats" sweep will let Franco avoid the director award, but the voters will not let him walkaway scot free.
Fred Durst for "The Fanatic": I thought the "Cats" sweep was sound, but everyone will revel at the chance to say "Fuck you" to Mr. Bizkit.
Cats: It is just the easy, effortless pick.
