Recharging

Recently I’ve been reading and watching things way. I slowed down my home improvement projects, my writing, and my side jobs to just take some time for myself. This was partially motivated because I was getting stuck all the time it seemed and partially cause I had some stress-related health problems. It wasn’t all for fun (I’ve been reading things for Chapter Chaps) but it has been much more relaxing than my usual routine.

That said, taking some time to experience other peoples’ works has helped recharge me creatively.

 

Alita Bit Closer Now

I have a confession. I never watched, read, or had any knowledge Of Alita Battle Angel beyond the title till I saw the teaser for the live-action film. Watching that first trailer, it seemed kind of blah. Nothing really terrible but it didn’t give me shivers or get me on the edge of my seat. James Cameron is pretty okay (I just never get super excited about his stuff but he is good). I had never heard of Laeta Kalogridis before but have seen several of their works. I will watch anything directed by Robert Rodriguez however.

So I started to check it out.

Couldn’t hurt?

Right?

Neo Yokio is Bae

I’m not sorry. I’m not. Okay? I binged all of Neo Yokio, season 1, in a day while doing homework. It was one of my better life choices recently. You can hate. That’s your choice. But sorry to disappoint you, reader, but the universe is dictated by forces far greater than purist anime fandoms. Less hate, more vibes, please.

Airbender-Bender

So I’ve been a little stressed this summer. Everything is so busy and I can’t seem to catch a break. Between school, work, and the house I just haven’t gotten a lot of time to myself. However, this past week, I did take some time and binge the first three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Complete Series and I have thoughts and feelings.

Light spoilers ahead, FYI.
