Twisters!!

glacier_kittyThis week Denise took off work for both her jobs, because today is her birthday! She asked me if I wanted to see Twisters with her today, and I was like "ummm YES" haha. This morning I read "the $80.5 million domestic opening makes it the biggest opening weekend ever for a disaster film and the second biggest for a live-action film this year," so that made me even more excited! Mom and I met her at Wendy's and then saw the movie! I was worried it was going to be a cheap meh sequel, but it was actually pretty good! It kind of had a similar plotline to the original, but still entertaining. The "redneck" storm chasers were super amusing haha. One thing that did bother me was that people at events like baseball, rodeos, etc were caught completely unaware when a storm/tornado suddenly appeared. After living in Texas, I know that would NEVER happen..outside things would have been canceled right away if a storm was coming, and it would be all over the news. I didn't expect to see Maura Tierney, who played Abby in ER!! Nice! Mom rolled her eyes at the tornadoes that kept "growling" haha. Very entertaining! I don't think I'll be driving into a tornado anytime soon though D:
Vicki has covid, and since Denise is on vacation this week, I've had to come in later and close the store. It's not the same without Vicki's cheerful energy! This weekend Adam had to get his appendix removed, and now he has covid too! It seems to be hitting Fairbanks hard! I REFUSE to get covid again, I've been drinking Emergen-C every day and mom gave me some zinc tablets to take. I must keep my immune system strong!!
It's been HOT this week, in the 80s!! (It was 89 when mom picked me up from work D:) I don't do well in heat anymore, especially since Prozac makes me feel hot super easily for some reason. I hate trying to work and being covered in sweat, ugh. The hot weather stirred up the fires again, it was kind of smoky today. Tomorrow will be the last day in the 80s, then it'll rain and cool off and be in the 50s and 60s. That'll feel nice!!
20. How Much Information Is ‘Too Much Information’? When you're overloaded and can't take it anymore..also telling me you're going to "take a pee" LOL
21. Would You Most Want to Live in a City, a Suburb or the Country? It would be cool to live in a cabin in the woods, if I could still get to places close by
22. What Life Lessons Has Adversity Taught You? I'm not broken, just scratched and I will heal. Things do get better, and even if something doesn't go the way you want, shrugging staying optimistic helps. It also helps me talk to others who have gone through similar things as me. I was bulled when I was younger, so I always appreciate when people like to hang out with me (and don't bat an eye when I hug their curtains LOL). I'm sure there's more, but that's good for now :P
23. Have You Ever Been Scammed? Sure, some random person texted me and we started having a conversation, then stole like $5 from my bank account. I don't answer random "who are you?" texts anymore now O_o
24. Can Creativity Be Scheduled? Maybe? It might not be as good as creativity on the spot though..

Date: 2024-07-27 05:04 pm (UTC)Sounds like they didn't do their research properly - things like that bother me in movies, as well.
Covid seems to be on the rise again here as well :( I have been wearing masks again lately despite the humidity making it uncomfortable, but that's still better than getting sick. I even took a test today since I've been feeling under the weather, but thankfully I was negative.
I'm not broken, just scratched and I will heal. Things do get better, and even if something doesn't go the way you want, shrugging staying optimistic helps. It also helps me talk to others who have gone through similar things as me.
Very well said! Talking to others who can relate helps me too. I also know way too well what it feels like to be bullied :( if I lived closer, I would hang out with you and you could pet my curtains all the time, hehe ♥
