well, surprise :X i thought i had work monday but apparently i did not. my boss knew this friday but neglected to tell me. this ... is not the first time it's happened. at least massachusetts has a law about that. but there's also issues with my time sheet for thursday not going in that have yet to be resolved...
so i'm fighting with an AI to give me two days owed pay now, and watching a really mid horror movie called Beliath. it's not mid for lack of concept or acting, but really for its pacing. its pacing is confusing at best and bumbling at worst?? like it's trying to keep a quick pace up, and i do appreciate that for found footage horror. but the crew doesnt seem to really understand what must be left in and what must be cut out to form a coherant narrative to hook your audience. i guess i shouldve seen this coming since the cast seem to be from the UK. typically UK horror is really, really slowly paced and attempts to be a vehicle for character drama (often failing). this film is trying to use the more westernized horror movie pacing, and all i can guess is that uh. they don't teach how to do that very well in film school in the uk?
paused my ffxiv subscription this weekend, been trying to get back to my artistic groove by drawing without any real plan or purpose for myself while watching pluribus & black mirror in evenings. still waiting on a 512hdd so i can swap out the puppybook ssd and alph can revive the media pc - right now he can watch youtube on the tv with his phone but it doesnt have any adblocking so like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
in theory i have work tomorrow! and i was correct, swim-time has ended for the year. perfect timing, because last thursday everyone felt a little chill even with the heated pool.
ren was v mad that i left for work at all and now i am back she has fallen asleep next to me. classic grandmacake.
we'll see what tomorrow brings
