september 2022 media roundup!

[loveair]

 

wow this month flew by like it feels like last week was september 1,,, anyways i watched a lot of stuff and i honestly why or how,,, but i def feel more like myself this month compared to august. 

watching

movies

i watched 6 movies this month. 6. the last time i watched 6 movies in 1 month was march 2020. yeah. 3 of them i watched w my roommates, 2 i watched w friends when i was visiting home from college one weekend, and i only watched 1 by myself but it was nice to watch movies w other people i wont lie. 

> nope (2022): watched this w friends on national movie day (?) but tickets were only $3 so that was super fun,, i actually did like this movie a good amount!!! i loved the blood on the house scene and keke palmer <333 this was very entertaining and i would rewatch it i think!

> girl in the basement (2021): straight up hated this lol. idk i just hate when movies are made off of real people’s trauma like this and just clearly made for entertainment like it just rubs me the wrong way i would never have picked this myself but yeah i suffered through it. stefanie scott acted her ass off though i was so confused as to why she looked so familiar only to look it up and SHES FROM ANT FARM ?! ayo how did we get from there to this. felt like throwing up multiple times

> badhaai do (2022): i wanted to watch this when it came out earlier in the year but i never got a chance to,,, and then an irl posted a sumi and rhimjhim edit on their story and i had to watch it right away. i loved sumi i loved rhimjhim shardul annoyed tf out of me at points bc of the misogyny but it got better as the movie went on. teared up when shardul Finally stood up for himself and i loved that they were able to adopt their child!!!! like that kid has 3 parents and a cool uncle,, i also loved the pride scene just made me so happy <33 probably an instant fav ngl

> ferris bueller’s day off (1986): genuinely think i would malfunction like cameron did if i had a friend like ferris,, nothing but stress day in and day out. also why was there so much tension between ferris cameron and sloane ? as an older sister i will always have to support jeanie w her candace vibes,, bust ur brother so true! 

> don’t worry darling (2022): watching this was not in my plans after seeing the drama on my tl,, dont even know what the drama was but i wasnt gonna watch,, but florence pugh <3 she is so hot. it was such a set up to have harry styles next to her bc i dont even think harry is That bad of an actor but next to florence he’s obviously way worse. idk why there was no margaret in the movie bc ??? her character was so important. and i wish they had introduced chris pine earlier and given us more on alice and jack’s backstory before they were put in victory, and i hated that ending. so underwhelming. and there was no worldbuilding? what was up w that. i think this honestly had a lot of potential but it ended up being really forgettable bc there was no resolution. but the score was insane,,, literally the best part of the movie other than florence. 

> vivarium (2019): idk how i feel about this bc it was kinda predictable and felt really really long. and kinda got boring towards the middle. the most entertaining part of this was my roommate’s dog getting so confused when the kid and gemma were barking. she was so so confused. 

idk if i’ll ever watch this many movies in one month again bc this was A Lot. 

tv

> extraordinary attorney woo youngwoo: I Loved this <333 so heartwarming so fun i savored every moment of it. idk what im supposed to watch while kang taeoh is enlisted bc my first first love’s been ruined bc of jisoo and i hated his character in doom at your service so ig i will just be rewatching run on and wyw. i just loved this drama sm just so comforting and warm. 

> his man: idk why i watched this i dont like reality tv T__T i got bored halfway through and had to force myself to finish it and theres been so much drama after the show ended ??? idek whats going on. the concept was honestly interesting though.

> triage: i loved this i loved this. i only watched bc it was a manner of death spinoff and i loved manner of death so much but i think i like triage more??? i dont like time loop shows so i really didnt think i would like this but wow. tol and tin were so charming i loved how fucking unlikeable both of them were at the beginning i fr thought tin was boring and tol was annoying. but they are so perfect the writing was so good everything got so intricate by like episode 7 ??? and SINGGAP . do not get me started on singgap. sing is quite possibly my fav type of character ever and gap was so sweet i love when you go on little missions to prove that your attending doctor is involved with organ  trafficking. and then one of you gets shot and you have to watch them bleed out bc the attending has a resident working w him and he’s currently holding a gun to your head. im insane about this show i love it an unreasonable amount.

> old fashion cupcake: this was soooo sweet. j-bls are so wonderful. i just felt so warm and even though it was only 5 episodes i feel like they used that time so well? it felt longer to me. i loved the food and quietness and everything was perfect to me.

i also didnt watch any kpop content but idk why. i started cix weekly idol but never finished it </3

reading

books

> icebreaker (hannah grace): i think i really liked the found family in this but i honestly do not remember what happened in this. also i liked that it was set in college. idk this was just a quick romance.

> the final gambit (jennifer lynn barnes): the 2nd book sucked so bad but this was so good. i liked how high stakes everything was and we were finally focusing on the games more than the boys again which was nice. the ending was pretty satisfying but TOBY,,, im sad they werent able to figure anything out for him :((

why was there actually no good music this month lol. i loved luminous’s album though i listened to that so much. other than that though there wasn’t anything i particularly Loved this month,,, just some decent music. also why does every artist in the top tracks section start with L thats so odd. 

writing

started a random milric this month? wrote like 3k and then i havent written in like a week but maybe i will finish it. its honestly not good enough to post but i might just do it anyway to boost morale so i can finally  finish jumilric and then start something new!

overall

this month flew by and i was so busy with school,, yeah i honestly dont know if my school life balance has gotten any better but i did finish tv shows this month!!! and read a few books!! and watched a bunch of movies too. i was talking to a friend though and i was talking about how i want more hobbies that arent based on media consumption or related to premed stuff,,,, and idk. i used to journal so much and now i rarely ever journal. i ditched my digital journal again too. and i wanna get back into working out but its literally been 2 years since i regularly worked out and its just been hard to start again. idk what other hobbies i can pick up but im keeping my eyes peeled for something that seems interesting. bc right now most of my energy is going into planning as a hobby and thats just me micromanaging my life even in my free time and i do nawt like that. but anyways this month has been alright and i hope october is better!!! im excited for fall <3
