Hey, it's been a while hasn't it? Well, I figured it'd be nice to give a little update about life in general, and some extra information. I turned 18 recently, I'm an adult now, it feels sureral, honestly. I must admit, I am a child of the internet, so most things that I can do now I've already been doing but I will admit, there is a sense of power that comes with it but admittedly it doesn't really mean much to me, it's just cool and a little bit scary I can go out and buy a house (Realistically that will never be possible in today's economy). I wanna apologize for the lack of posts recently, I've been caught up in real life and some extra stuff on the side to want to make a post, that and I had no clear idea of what I wanted to write about regardless, outside of the LOONA archive I did. Oh yeah, LOONA! I never really gave my thoughts on it, but it's pretty clear where I stand. I'm upset, disgusted and not shocked. I swear there's so muc...

As I turn 18 in a few days, everything in life comes to me in a weird, melancholic way. It's amazing how easy a person's emotions can change, it feels like a switch that you can turn on and off every few hours, if not minutes. I'm afraid of turning 18, I'm not sure why, but it's a feeling I can't begin to explain, and if I try, I easily can get my words confused. It's been a while since I opened up Blogger to make a blog post but I feel comfortable enough to just, type away. About what? I'm not really sure, but it's fun to make a blog post every once in a while. I've had quite the eventful month since I've been away, and to be honest, I don't want to get into it, and I'm glad I never talked about it here. Why, you might ask? Well, in the words of the now neo-nazi Kanye West, I guess we'll never know. I think that Kanye coming out the way he did has got to be, easily, the worst thing that could ever happen, but I don't want to ...

Hello, Ruby here, I've been deciding and thinking about some things for some time now and I think I've decided to make possible the best decision for this blog, I think I'm gonna stop making posts that detail my day, or at least severely limit them to at least once or twice a month. Why, you might ask? I'm doing it because it'll allow me to actually write what I genuinely wanna write about, and it's not as exhausting. Does that mean they're gonna stop? No, not at all, I enjoy writing them a bunch but they unfortunately don't allow me to have the energy for the actual posts I wanna do. The post earlier today, the one about Natsuki Ozawa, I loved doing that a lot, doing the research, looking and looking just to document here through this blog, that's what I love, that's what I made the blog for originally, but it felt like the posts about my life took over and I'm not into that at all. I hope my enjoyment in writing those posts became really ob...

I know it's not Monday but I'm not doing much tomorrow and the rest of tonight so might as well crank out a post in the meantime, it's been a pretty eventful two days so this post is gonna be a long one in comparison to the past few posts. I actually did stuff this time, and one major update I'm pretty happy about. I'll cover yesterday, Saturday to be exact. I'm not sure if I talked about this but I'm pretty sure I did but I ended up taking a trip to Georgia for a trip in general, as I go there a few times every year for family. I left pretty early, somewhere like 6 in the morning which is pretty unusual as I usually head out around 8:30 or 9 in the morning and end up getting there pretty early in the afternoon but we ended up getting there about 10:30, which was very off to me as I'm so used to getting there later than that so I wasn't sure what to do, but that quickly changed as I ended up going to this weird little glorified thrift store in town t...

Really does seem like I'm sticking to that one post a week model, thankfully. There's a lot on my mind racing and I'm not sure exactly where I should start with, I sound so depressed right now but it's actually the quite opposite, I feel quite great today. I've been watching a lot of movies again which feels great to get back into the swing of, I picked back up on the Lone Wolf And Cub films with the two titles Baby Cart at the River Styx and Baby Cart To Hades , I'm frankly blown away, they've managed to be completely consistent with being great considering they're all made in the same year. I'm not exactly into samurai movies but after watching Sion Sono's Antiporno , a shallow critique done through very basic and boring surrealism, I needed to get back into what I really enjoyed, old Japanese cinema. Old is a vague term if I'm gonna be completely honest with you but in my eyes everything made before 1990 is considered old, film wise at le...

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find something to write about, and frankly I don't really have much going on to write about in my daily life. So, for the first time every, definitely not the last, an all media focused post. I'll have something next week for sure about my actual life but for now, it's stagnant, anyways, let's begin. Music! I haven't really talked about music much before on this blog until this month but I think I might be done finding new music for now, and the reason why is because I recently got into Boris, the Japanese band. I'm only 6 album into their expansive discography (I only have 20 albums downloaded) and I have enjoyed everything I've heard so far. It's all pretty great stuff, I started with their 2005 album Pink and I haven't really looked back because it's such a treat of an album, everything about it, not a single bad thing I can list about the album. I also listened to a few more albums too, such as Vei...

I was supposed to make a post Friday but unfortunately got wrapped up in something I quite frankly didn't want to. I'm unfortunately finding less and less to write about what I'm doing at school, as it's pretty boring and mundane right now. The most I can talk about is my coding class in which we wrote some code to execute a very simple Tic-Tac-Toe program and it was pretty fun, it wasn't like we had to code line by line, which would've been miserable since there's specifically 94 lines of text to write for something that basic, but instead we had spots where we had to fill in the blank, it was fun! I really like HTML and to some extent coding, so I'm pretty excited to see where this class goes and takes me, as this semester we're going over the very basics in HTML which I have a pretty good grasp on. I keep saying this and I'm going to say it again, I hope one day I'm able to put this blog on it's own designated website although I really...

Hello, it's me again. Realistically I don't know what to exactly write about, yet again, so I guess I'll write about my classes first and foremost, then slowly transition into media consumption. I officially started my second week and it's surprisingly going much better than I ever expected, and the reason why I'm saying that is because I enjoyed it. Yeah, I'm actually excited about school, who knew. Not much really has happened though, I have a test today and tomorrow, one in Economics, which is the one today, and one in my Accounting class which is tomorrow, I don't exactly know what's in check for the blog anymore because I've been so stressed about the last few weeks, I'm not sure what I've mentioned and what I haven't so I'm genuinely everywhere right now so if I sound inconsistent or anything that's why, I did get up less than an hour ago and I'm standing out in the cold waiting for my bus, which! I'm not riding the ...

I don't exactly know what to write here, if I'm gonna be honest. Not much has happened in the last week. I really haven't consumed anything, or done anything I'm exactly happy with and I don't really wanna talk about school right now so I'm kinda stuck in a rut on what to write about, the only thing on my mind right now is like, how much I hate my school but I don't wanna keep being negative in all my posts, that's lame. After this week though I feel I'll be better. I think I'm in a mental rut because I literally haven't done much to warrant any dopamine reactors in my brain to go off, which from today forward I'm gonna set a precedent that I have to watch something every single day, from now on. Why? Watching things is fun, so of course I wanna watch stuff. It'll help calm me down as I've been feeling so stressful these last few days, so much so that I found my first white hair! It's on my wrist and it sticks out very much, I...

Well, I start school in 2 days, which would be a bad thing but it's absolutely not for this blog! Every 2 days always got something happening so it's easier to keep track, but I'm going to write about the last two days since I've had something going on in them, then I'm going to write about the summer in general, and some general life updates. Thursday was the first time I went out to a restaurant in god knows how long, and I was pretty happy with what I got, I went to this pizza place I haven't been to since, what feels like 2021, even though I know I been there this year, and got myself a pizza. I know, invigorating, after that I stopped by Target and got some clothes for school which I'm pretty happy, I only got one shirt which was a InuYasha shirt, a show I never watched, now generally I would be against that stuff but I really liked the design so I got it. I'm not sure how common it's a shirt with all the characters in white and the logo in red...

Not much has happened since the last blog post unfortunately but that's also, not really a big surprise. As expressed before, I start school pretty soon, like in 2 weeks soon, and I'm kind of stress, I went shopping today for a backpack and it started to smell like the outside of the school and it kinda just hit, it's back soon, and I don't know what to think, it's been a fast summer, I mean, really. I watched a lot of films and bought a bunch of Blu-rays and dug around with some games and stuff so I'm very happy I was able to do that, this is the last summer I can do that since after this year I have to deal with college stuff, so I'm gonna consume a bunch of random media whilst I can, I started playing Sonic Generations after going through a rough hour or two, missing files, not starting properly, configuration, all that stuff. I finally figured out the problem and that's I had to turn off the anti-virus protection and not redownload the steam dll file...

God, it's been a LONG time hasn't it, I'm really sorry. I would make up some type of excuse and say "Oh, I'm really busy!" or something like that but genuinely let's face it, that's not the case, I'm just really lazy to write a long form post like I usually would do, now with that being said let's talk about a few things! Monday I went to the park, and I swung, which I love to do, I don't do it much unfortunately and I wish I did it a lot more often but I never feel determined too, I listened to a lot of Sematary during this and it was fun, everytime I swing I get a ton of ideas flowing and it helps me with a clear mental state which helps me a lot with my creativity, and this time wasn't any different. After I was done I kind of, might've, maybe vomited. Usually after I'm done swinging I feel pretty bad and out of breath (I don't get a lot of exercise) but this time I figured out why, everytime I feel that, it was me trying...

It's been a while, sorry about that. I was gonna write a blog post yesterday but I ultimately ended up forgetting too but some cool stuff happened so there's that! What's first, well, I'm happy to say I'm now the new proud owner of the World Of Wong Kar-Wai Blu-ray set! I was gonna wait until June to get it but since I had the money and I felt incredibly impatient I decided to jump the gun now and get it, I'm very glad I did because it's truly a great set. I was set to get it today but unfortunately Jeff Bezos had to send his little goblin minions out later than planned and now it's set for tomorrow. May God release fury against him and the ones he loves, but I'm glad I'm getting it regardless because it's an amazing set and having it in my hands would be incredible. I 100% promise a post about it that details the packaging and the booklet it comes with so be ready for that, it's either coming tomorrow or Saturday but there will be a post...

It's been a long time, or so it feels but unfortunately, not much has been happening in Ruby's world, in terms of media conception though, oh boy. I have gotten into Wong Kar-Wai over the last week. His style of directing is amazing. In terms of visuals he excels incredible over any other director I have watched. A perfect example of this is his film Fallen Angels , which is exactly everything I look for in a film. The story is absolutely enticing, luring you in every single second with a high level of energy and suspense as what will happen next, you really care for everyone in the film, and what they're doing and why they're doing said thing. You really don't get that with many movies, and the only ones you do are the ones that are written incredibly well, which is already a huge plus right off the bat, and then you get the visuals. This is probably, and I'm gonna say this with my full chest, the best looking movie ever made, everything about it is absolutely ...
