Came down with a cold. Feeling horrible. Won't be able to go to judo tomorrow. Disappointed.

I'm feeling very worn out and I kind of want to go on a vacation but kind of not. Going on vacation would probably be more stressful than restful. But at least there is a stat this month. And there are two more of those special posture yoga classes that I signed up for, and then I'm done with that. Which is good because even though they've been interesting, it sucks up too much of my time (well more specifically the homework sucks up a lot of my time).

These times sure are Interesting re: tariffs and the USA shitting the bed. I do appreciate that people are starting conversations about buying Canadian, because it's something that I do feel strongly about and support when possible, but I hate that it took these circumstances for it to happen.

Watched the 2005 adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I think someone purchased it for me back when it was relevant, and I watched it once and then never again, because I have no recollection of it. Anyway, it was much more entertaining than I expected; I'd been anticipating putting it in the donation bin, but I think I'll keep it. It probably helps that my feelings about the novel are basically "I read it a couple of decades ago and thought it was all right" - if I had a much stronger opinion on it, I probably wouldn't have liked the movie as much.

Ugh, I hope you feel better soon!

My thoughts on living in Interesting Times are not fit to print, I'll say that much. Hoping to use my upcoming free time to make my Nazi-enabling senators' lives (or at least phone lines) hell.

Gosh, I think I remember going to see that in theaters and don't remember a thing about it except Ford being great! I did used to love the books so I think I was a bit disappointed generally, but it's been ages since I reread them, so maybe if I rewatched I'd feel more kindly toward it...

Good luck with your efforts. <3 I appreciate it.

re: H2G2, yeah I think if you really liked the novels then that could lead to disappointment - I looked it up after and the movie did take some plot departures. Definitely agree on Ford being great though, he was my favourite part of it movie. :D

It's unfortunate that the USA doing Whatever It is Doing Right Now fucks up both its own people and everyone else, but...yeah.

Hope you get better soon! Man, this flu season is hard.

<3

I'll try to rest up, hopefully this'll be gone soon. Who knows, maybe I'll work on some wips since I'm not fit for anything else. :D

<3 I'll try!

The interesting times sure are coming to a middle. I have a dream that someday it won't be the usual "America sneezes / Canada catches the cold" refrain as has been the case for, oh, all of our history. Most everybody in my circles makes the sole determination of what brand to purchase at the store a price-based one, which is totally understandable given the high cost of living. But still...

Wishing you good vibes and hope you feel better soon!! I also kinda second the vacation. :D

Ngl I do have to make my decisions based on The Budget most of the time, but... one must make attempts when one can! Weirdly enough, I find it easier to justify the higher cost if it's non-essentials. Like, "Okay, if I'm going to waste my money on snacks, I might as well shell out for Something Very Nice , which happens to be produced Not In The US (and unfortunately has price point to match)". idk.

Vacation keeps sounding better and better, tho. ...Or maybe I should just take a few days off to stay at home and veg out!
