  • Amazon Prime's new Original series starring Priyanka Chopra and Stanley Tucci. So many time cuts and strange cinematographic framing. What an action mess. This is a waste of our Amazon Prime membership money, Bezos!!! Invest in better writers, not just brand name celebs. All your Prime shows are turning out to be absolute flops!
• Superman and Lois
  • Season 1: Interesting cast. Lois' actress has a lazy eye that I can't un-notice. Like the idea of a Superman family with one of his children acquiring powers.
  • Season 2: What a writing mess. The plot is incoherent, and we delve into a lot of exposition and characters backstories that I hardly care about. Kyle Cushing, Lana...

• The Notebook
  • A rewatch. Now I have a different perspective of Ally and Noah's romance.
• SHAZAM: Fury of the Gods
  • A pretty good sequel. Wish they actually had Superman in this movie instead of the cliffhanger cameo we had in the original. Rachel Zegler is a standout. She was wonderful in West Side Story. Glad to see her star a role here, and now as Lucy Gray Baird in the upcoming Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!
• SHAZAM
  • How could I have not watched this superhero movie before? MC felt so childish, but again realistically he's only 14 years old. Who can think clearly about superhero abilities at that age?!

• I like good guys. DEFINED: someone who is a genuine, kind person who cares about me, wants me to be happy, and whose words coincide with his actions.
• I am emotionally damaged. I find it hard to open up and talk about my feelings with someone who can potentially hurt me.
• I need affection and attention. I want someone who will hold my hand, hug me, ask about my day, laugh at my jokes, and enjoy my company.
• I find it hard to communicate my needs. When I need something, I close myself off and try to figure it out myself. When something upsets me, I can't talk about it.
• I need to do a variety of activities with my partner.
• I am truly, truly grateful that I was able to date Ian. We work so well in comparison to my past relationships. He doesn't react emotionally. He's not prone to emot...

• Accept. accept yourself. your feelings. your current mental situation. physical situation. spiritual situation. financial situation. work situation. Improve on it. Make a plan. Move forward.
• Take lots of photos. Don't try to plan the frame beforehand. Don't try to see beforehand. You already see the world in a unique way, individual from others. You take notice of different things from others. So get out and shoot. Blend into the background. No one cares you have a camera so take pictures.

• The Witcher: Blood Origin
  • I like this series much better than The Witcher. I love the characters more. Fjall Stoneheart of the Dog Clan and Éile the Lark of the Raven Clan. Apparently lovers of the books and games hate what Netflix has released on the Witcher saga.
• Alice in Borderland Season 2
  • I love the plot so much. Yes, it's very gory and Battle Royale-esque. Yet it's also about the meaning of life and connections, and humanity's perseverance to survive.

Thoughts

• I want to travel to these places. I don't want to just stare at these photos of art work. I want to go there. I want to experience them.
• I want to improve myself as a photographer.
• I cannot get a hold of anybody.
• I need to eat healthier.
• I need to be punctual.
• I want more time in the studio. Why don't I make time? What am I doing most of the time? Why am I not making that my major?
• What photographic style do I have?
• I need sleep.
• where are my friends?

GOD, You heard the groans of Your people in the desert. Lord, You hear my cries for help. Please, fill my soul with peace and love. The things around me are bringin...

Wow, I spelled "load" as "lode". And I've been having spelling lapses like that for quite some time. And I accredit that to my lack of reading. I know I should read a ton because not only will I seem knowledgeable and comsopolitan, it will also help me improve my writing and I won't feel like such a dork when I don't score 9s all the time (but I did score a 9) in AP Lit.
