Yours truly on a hot summer’s day:

Sometimes I feel like I’m too attractive.

O hai Rob Lowe.

Having trouble gumming your donuts, Frink? Tring pureeing them first.

Can of Mountain Dew.

I got a small jar of Vegemite from the food bank once. Not being Australian, no one in the family wanted to try it, so we ended up tossing it out. Perhaps that was a mistake.

Why can’t life come with a reset button? Or at least save states?

The past haunts me, the present infuriates me, the future mortifies me.

Time for a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Finished off my bottle. After this, it’s back on the wagon again.

Oh won’t worry you can both be weird.

I’d call that weird, but I’ve had roast beef with jam.

I thought TV’s Frink Computer wasn’t capable of using exclamation marks.

Lamb sandwich.

I don’t have a career of any kind. I held my first and only job as a part-time dishwasher back in 2008 until I was laid off; social anxiety disorder has been the major stumbling block preventing me from seeking employment since.

As with Dek, I, too, desire to become a filmmaker. It’s a interest I came to only gradually, over many years. It began in 2002/2003, when I started writing Evil Dead fanfiction; I wrote a few short stories and ended up imagining certain contemporary actors playing certain OCs. I then took a shot at writing a screenplay for an Evil Dead sequel (It wasn’t very good; it was mostly just a rehash of Evil Dead II.) From there I graduated to imagining how books I read would work as movies; I’d imagine who would play the leads, what changes would be made to the narratives to make them work better in film, etc. I still had no real aspirations to become a filmmaker at this time, though.

Filmmaking took on a new dimension for me around '05/'06. After I was expelled from high school, I took to watching more TV (in particular, these three channels). That’s when I became familiarized with Roger Corman’s Poe films, Charlie Chaplin, The Bride of Frankenstein, and this short film. They all inspired me to begin viewing film as a bona fide art form rather than just a form of visceral entertainment. My interests in film plateaued until '09, when I got TCM for the first time. That’s the channel that introduced me to a whole lot of classic films; The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney, Cecil B. DeMille’s The King of Kings, and Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal in particular left marked impressions on me. A year or two after that, I got my first Netflix subscription; that’s where I watched Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Lost Highway all for the first time, finalizing my interest in David Lynch. My desire to become a filmmaker was cemented by 2012.

I haven’t had much experience in filmmaking; except for an unfinished short documentary I was putting together at school prior to my expulsion and some shitty one-man home movies I shot with a DV camera in 2006, I haven’t made a single movie. Were I to rectify that – were I to manage to get the education/funds to get into film school or teach myself – I’d make art films – horror/drama/romance/spiritual/surreal art films, all set in period or timeless eras, often with themes of unrequited/hard-won love, nostalgia, and the search for God present. One-fourth of my films would be shot in high-contrast, grainy, black-and-white; another fourth would be shot with red-and-cyan colour grading (to resemble two-colour Technicolor films from the '20s and '30s); another fourth would be shot to recapture that '80s look; and the final fourth would be shot in various different styles.

As for my hobbies, when I’m not binge watching a crap-load of movies or TV – when I’m not working on a dozen screenplays all at the same time – I read. On occasion I’ll work on a collage or drawing, but neither rouses my interest much anymore.

While I’m generally happy being a '90s kid, there are times when I wish I had been born much earlier than 1987. I keep falling for women who are now too old and/or are married.

Double post bullshit.

Jean Grey is kinda useless.

The Dark Phoenix Saga would never have happened were that the case.

I’ve never eaten a blood orange, but I would like to.

The dry spell is over.

my theory is that Rey was cloned from Luke’s hand, hence why the moment she touches Lukes lightsaber she has the flashback back to cloudcity moments before Luke loses his hand

very interesting…

Now I hope Rey and Luke get kinky together. The OT flirted with twincest; time to up the ante with intergenerational selfcest.

I see what they did there.

“You bitch!”
