- wasn’t sure what to expect, but seventeen being streamed this much sounds about right lmfao. in tough times, you just have to hold on to your emotional support boy group a little tighter. cheers being this high even though it’s been less than half a month is extremely on brand for me. 엉덩이 팡팡 changed my life, truly.
- felt so angry listening to jack in the box, not just because it’s good emo music (luv ur villain era hobi xoxo) but also because this is the kind of music bts could have been making all along instead of whatever their english singles were. not to be petty but That BTS Video made me feel so vindicated lmfao.
- caught up with some episodes of idolcast while i spent the week at home recovering from my wisdom tooth removal. hands down the best idol podcast out there, with historical deep dives that cover all the nuances. the hiphopdol episode was a trip - which is weird because I Was Actually There When The Lore Was Written - but just hearing the name Cho PD in the year of our lord 2022 gave me goosebumps.
📼 watching
finished a starstruck odyssey on dropout. the starship battles within sw5e system were such a fun complement to the regular battle sequences. weirdly, i enjoyed the bits of realism within the space opera setting, like the bookkeeping and sending of many, many emails (margaret encino the real gaslight gatekeep girlboss). it’s funny that a retro future setting first written in eighties requires so little updating, because all the commentary on capitalism still landed lmfao. also, not to be a fake gamer girl, but i really want one of those starstruck graphic tees…
📚 reading
the only reading i did this month happened while i was killing time on two separate occasions, each at a different kinokuniya outlet. i’m 30% through concerning my daughter, but i think i’ll probably head back to finish the book at the store since the library isn’t going to stock queer literature lmfao.
💬 and other things
officially, certified in my flop era now. these two months were just a shitstorm of work and family-related messes that culminated in me deciding that removing the last wisdom tooth from my mouth would be less painful than dealing with anything else.the tiny silver lining is that i’ve 100% made up my mind to quit my job next year, hopefully after i get promoted for the sheer amount of work i am putting in (though at this point, i’m probably still gonna quit even if i don’t get promoted lmfao). what i’m going to do after i quit? i’ll… figure it out?
tried to set some personal goals to help me stay sane till the end of the year, but just realised today that i missed the registration for the topik this year 🤡thinking positively, i now have 9 months (???) to study and get a solid score to hit 5급…?
