some thought on the bodyguard (1992), which i finally watched for the first time

- ⭐️⭐️

- i liked the first 30 or so minutes, and then it became clear that all of these characters were going to be one dimensional and unlikeable. you can’t make your two mains immature and annoying and then expect me to root for their nonexistent chemistry to come to fruition

- starting at the 45 minute mark i had to keep taking little breaks because i was bored and didn’t find the romance at all compelling. this movie is 2 hours long and would probably be better if it were 1.5

- houston’s i will always love you is SUCH a powerful song and it is so poorly utilized in this movie. it’s played over such a weird ending - it reminded me of the end of roman holiday but way worse lol

- predicted both twists fairly easily which is fine. what’s not fine is that neither reveal felt like it had enough impact, especially the first one that should have felt like an emotional bombshell (predictable or not)

- the sequence between frank and tony in the kitchen is perfect start to finish, and gave me the only two laughs of the entire movie

- she’s just so much hotter than him. why do they always do this to us

saturday morning at my local little store. donut day. at the register with my milk and donuts. take out wallet to pay - zipper’s jammed? what the fuck. this has literally never happened why is it happening NOW. pull a little harder - zipper disintegrates. internal panic. there are three people behind me. this is the only line. ask the cashier if she has scissors. fuck this wallet, i am not going to salvage a TRAITOR. oh thank god she has scissors. struggle to cut open. “someone else can go while i do this…?” “i already rang you up.” sweating. cashier takes the wallet from me and cuts open in one fell swoop. “it’s an ebt card.” fumble to get right card. insurance card. cash. receipts. ebt! pay. collect pieces of wallet - zipper has already been swept into trash by cashier. get the fuck out of there. sit in my car staring at traitor wallet. go home.

this is the cheat sheet i ended up making. idk what happened to the photo qualities but i ran out of patience so it is what it is. this is too late to be helpful to me now, but i'm definitely going to start doing this when i start a show. i made it iphone-sized so i can have it pulled up on my phone for reference while i'm watching on the computer/tv

just finished a murder at the end of the world and i've realized that just like with books i need to make myself a little cheat sheet for tv shows. i need have actors' faces and character names in a little guide bc otherise i'm 6 episodes in to a 7 episode mini series and the characters are talking about people who aren't in the room and i'm just like wait who's martin? todd? oliver? who???? and it's always so risky to look it up bc these websites love to put spoilers in their article titles!!

I have come to discover that the most efficient way for me to get housework done is to allow myself to just do task grazing. I start one thing and once I've got the ball rolling, I may notice another task I could do while doing the first task, and just let myself wander around the house, bumping into something I could fix, fixing it up, and heading back off to a random direction, like a roomba with hands. I didn't plan to do housework today, but I decided to bake a cake.

There was no real need for a cake, but I allowed myself to bake one nonetheless. Getting started on the batter, the butter I was melting in the microwave popped over slightly, so I neded up washing the microwave plate and dome. Looking for cinnamon, I re-arranged the spices into a slightly more logical order. Turning the oven on, I noticed that the dirty oven tray inside - that we had left in there to cool since there's no way to wash it while it's hot - was still there, so I figured I'd wash it, too.

So while the cake was in the oven, I ended up washing the dishes from the sink, and discovered that there's no way to fit the oven tray in there with them. So it's best to wash the oven tray in the shower. Scrubbing the tray in the bathroom and rinsing it off with the showerhead, I noticed the burnt gunk collecting on the floor. Getting a cleaning rag and wiping the gunk off, I noticed the dust in the corners of the bathroom floors, and figured I might as well wipe those through.

Had I sent out with the intention to spend today cleaning, and made it my task to clean the whole kitchen and to mop the bathroom floor, I would've never managed to actually get up and go do it. I would've spent the whole day frozen in place, beating myself up about not getting up and getting anything done, and wasting the entire day achieving nothing and still being exhausted by the ordeal of spending the whole day fighting myself.

But instead, I let myself bake a cake.
