thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day five

 


hello world.

today was very odd, mainly because my energy levels went up and down like a see-saw. i decided that today was going to be a ‘no stream’ day, meaning i wasn’t going to watch anything on netflix, disney+, prime video or any of other ones i can't be bothered naming. i thought i was getting square eyes from watching so much binge television, so i thought i would get my square eyes (and also enjoyment) from other places for my sunday.

having said that, i did go through periods where i felt like i had no energy and even took a little siesta after lunch. i am experiencing the corona ‘drain’ (as i am calling it) whilst still feeling sinusy in the head. who knew there was still gunk left inside my head to cough/sneeze out?! also glad to report i still have a sense of smell and taste, so i am hesitantly calling my experience with ms ‘rona as very mild – an outcome i am incredibly grateful for.

in other news, today was sunday july tenth and whilst in iso i did/thought the following:

made serious progress in super mario odyssey!! Yes folks, i got back to hanging with my second fave Italian plummer and his funky red hat on their quest through so many different kingdoms to rescue peach from evil boy bowser for what is canonically the umpteenth time. whilst i do work for a video games company and am a proud owner of a (very pretty) nintendo switch lite, i am going to confess something: i suck at video games. it was not something this booksmart writer lady did much growing up and it is certainly not a skill that comes naturally. for the same reasons i believe i am terrible (and thus very anxious-riddled) at driving a car, it’s the combination of finesse, hand/eye coordination and patience required to play console games in particular that is nowhere to be found in my genetic makeup. therefore, playing games takes me a while… like a sloth running a marathon ‘while’. so the completion of three kingdoms and getting through some seriously difficult moves made me a proud lil’ gamer today!

played with some new disney themed eyeshadow! in addition to becoming addicted to wearing lipstick because it’s fun and another exciting way to add colour to my pale face, i have also gone down eyeshadow intrigue road in 2022. it is another skill i am not terribly good at, but i have a deep interest and desire to learn how to add glitter and colour to another part of my face without hopefully ruining things. i am also currently dealing with how to make my pale hooded eyes situation look good with my mediocre skills, so if y’all have any tips send them my way!

studded and ‘distressed’ another one of my graphic t-shirts. if there is one thing that is happening to me in 2022 besides covid sickness and turning 24, it is the rebellious ‘rock?’ phase i never had as a teenager. to fulfill the stereotype, i died my hair purple and one of my favourite things to do is to add studs and stylish rips to t-shirts. my latest victim was a tweedy shirt i am quite fond of, so please tell me if you see me out in the world wearing it that i look cool – i love compliments (asked for in advance….).

enough waffle from me, i shall check in same time tomorrow for the penultimate chapter!

love and the ultimate comfort food – a warm mexican burrito and mexican chips with chipotle mayo,

My favourite Disney boss ladies 💕

Hello everyone, As a young girl, I grew up watching Disney. Disney Channel TV shows and movies were most of my favourites, but the classic Disney princess stories always fascinated me too. As a 22 year old millennial, I’ve realised that these females were some of my biggest inspirations growing up, and even now. Aside from the amazing and uplifting songs that these characters have gifted the world, there are also lessons to be learned from their stories. This International Women’s Day, I thought I would share what I have learned from some classy Disney boss ladies over the years: Merida Source: Pinterest As Pixar’s first princess, Merida’s attitude could be interpreted as the anti-thesis of what the stereotypical Disney princess was supposed to aspire to. Rebelling against her mother’s wishes for her to be a prim and proper lady who marries a pre-determined suitor, Merida is a scrappy, young and fearless girl who ultimately learns the importance of compromise and loving...

my thoughts on the Star Wars sequel trilogy.... 🌟🎬😐

Hello everyone! I hope you are surviving in this weird and crazy time, and that you haven't murdered any family members yet, or put anything super embarrassing in the background of your work Zoom calls. Today is May the 4th, and most people would know that the wonderful world of Star Wars and its devoted fandom have claimed it for their annual day. 'May the Fourth be with you', and all 😉. It's really fun and hilarious, and I want to jump on the band wagon. I've been super invested in the most recent trilogy and I have some thoughts now that the Skywalker Saga has come to an end. If you're a Star Wars nerd like me, or if you are looking to get into another franchise during isolation times, keep reading and see what I thought of the sequel trilogy.... In a galaxy far, far away.... Source: wallpapersafari.com Few franchises come close to the intense adoration and fandom of Star Wars. In the spirit of reboots and ‘everything old is new again’, a new f...

thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day six

Image
  hello world. today has not been a day full of energy. therefore i have not had a lot of motivation to do much of anything interesting or useful. i am still rocking a bit of a cough and there is gunk still present in my head, but thankfully nothing new has presented itself. in not having much oomph today, there also isn’t much of a preamble to the highlights of today. so today was monday july eleventh and whilst in iso i did/thought the following: slept in until two o’clock pm. through trying to outrun multiple different nightmares that did not make me feel well rested and not needing to be anywhere in a hurry today – for obvious reasons… - i just kept rolling over and hitting snooze. that reminded me of early lockdown days in 2020 where i wasn’t employed at the time and could sleep in until early afternoon. it feels great in the moment, but also throws the entire vibe of the day off so that could have explained my general lack of oomph… caught up with episodes of the late...
