How anyone could still support that side after all that was on display last night at MSG... The hatred, the racism, the derogatory comments, saying Purto Rico is a pile of garbage... Why are people okay with this? I just don't understand it. I have to tip-toe around my own family, because the minute I say anything that can be deemed as against Trump or the Republican party, I'm drawn into a fight. I'm tired of it. Both sides suck, but at least one side sucks just a little bit less than the other, which made my choice easy.
I don't understand it either, honestly. Trump has shown the world exactly who and what he is, and people still flock to him like he's the secongld coming of Jesus. And I'm fairly conservative with a lot of my views, I've voted red most of my adult life. But at some point a line has to be drawn. We have to stand up and say that it's not okay. He tried to start a coup, for Christ's sake. And people are like, nah, he's fully fit to be president again. This convicted felon who can't shut his stupid mouth, who constantly spews misinformation, who can't answer a single question in regards to his plans, who thinks Hitler, Adolf fucking Hitler, did some good things... Ugh. It terrifies me what he could possibly accomplish if he gets back into office. Best case scenario, he doesn't have control of both the House and Congress, so everything will be a stalemate, but even then, it's scary.

I tried the heatless curler last night, and honestly, I'm not a fan. I got about 5 inches cut off my hair last night, so while it is still very long, down to the middle of my back, to me it feels extremely short. And with my hair in waves, it feels and looks shorter still. Plus, my hair is frizzy as all get out, and I haven't found any product that really tames it enough for it to not look like a rats nest to me when it's curled like this. It might very well just be me, because both my mom and Logan said it looks pretty, but I don't see it. So, I don't think the curler will be the answer for the wedding next week. I may just straighten it and leave it down. When it's straight, since my hair is so fine, it looks really nice. I just don't do it often, or ever really, because I don't like using heat on it. But, I guess I'll make the sacrifice for the day. I'm a little annoyed that the curler didn't turn out like I wanted. I could always try it again, maybe do looser curls because I did super tight ones this time, see how that looks. But, I don't have high hopes for it.
Looser curls may be less frizzy. The tightness of the first attempts curls may have made the natural frizz more obvious. Just a thought.

It feels like a horror movie kind of night. The problem I find is that, one, I'm not a big fan of the genre, so it's hard to find good films, and two, I'm not into that torture porn shit, like Saw and Hostel, or slasher flicks, or, honestly, anything really heavy on gore or body horror. So, that narrows down the options quite a bit. Oh, and no movies where a cat dies. Can't do it. Kill all the other animals you want on film, and I'm fine with it, but kill a cat and nope, I'm out. I'm giving It Follows a watch. I've heard a lot of good things about it. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
I'm not a fan of the genre either. To me they all end up being comical and predictable, which then ends up being disappointing since they are meant to be startling. I absolutely despise anything that is filled with gore. I see zero point in it and find it nothing more than disgusting. To each their own for those that do enjoy it, but it is definitely not my thing.
Yeah. I'm not yucking anyone's yum, I know lots of people enjoy movies like Saw and such. I've seen the first one and Hostel both in theaters when they came out, but that stuff isn't for me. I'm not squeamish about it, but it just isn't something I like watching. It's why I love things like the first season of Stranger Thing, or pretty much all of Mike Flanagin's Netflix series'. Stuff that's horror, but not like, typical horror. It's more than people dying. I know, at it's heart, horror dives into some serious themes, but sometimes they bury all that under just, gross stuff, and it really turns me off the genre as a whole.
I actually really enjoyed It Follows. I like the whole thing about not being able to escape your own mortality, it's just a fact of life. I the end, we all succumb to death. And it think it was really well done without relying on so many of the typical horror troupes. Logan and I have watched some really good horror films over the last few months. Longlegs was fantastic, up until the end, Late Night with the Devil was a good watch as well. The real problem I find with a lot of horror, is that it just can't stick the landing. Or, such as with Smile it pissed away it's third act, and it's take on trauma and mental illness was a bad one, point blank.
I think for me I prefer other genres over all. In general I am pretty difficult to startle, scare or ever surprise due to the fact I pay very close attention to details and often times little things stand out to me. That said... the typical horror music starts to play and my brain immediately knows something is about to happen or jump out, which of course ruins the goal of the scene. I forget which movie it was... I can never remember the names of them but it was one where the mom is possessed and tries to kill her kids.... I believe it is part of a big collaboration of multiple films... I digress, it was so predictable while we were watching it that it was just comical to me.
Sometimes I think I am just an odd individual because I don't enjoy so many things that most do. I am highly particular about films in general, if it doesn't captivate me in the first 20 minutes (at most) I am over it and would rather nap. I am the same with television shows, books... most things honestly. I am not into the gore stuff, I don't dig things that are highly sexually graphic/pornesque in any way shape or form, not into pretty much any sci-fi and honestly in general there will be days back to back where my television doesn't even get turned on.
Like you I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" so I tend to bow out when groups are doing things I know I will not enjoy as to not be a stick in the mud amongst the group. I am happy for those that enjoy the things I don't. It is good that people find things that bring them joy and embrace those things. :)
I love horror films only monster style. Not into the psycho style like saw. But i prefer the old years of horror when the plot and films were not so much blood splashing arround

Last night Logan and I went to the pirate show that we went to earlier this year, this time for their Halloween show, Vampirates. It was a lot of fun. The story is essentially the same as the normal one, but they're all vampires now so ghat automatically makes it better to me. We got VIP tickets and wound up sitting front row in the red section, which is right in the middle of the stage, where we were surprised to find out was a splash zone. As I said, we had fun. I'm totally into the silliness of it all. The theater kid in me loves any kind of show, and this one is more fun than say, a traditional play, because of the audience interaction throughout. But yeah, it's the only remotely Halloweenie thing we've done, outside of walking around Spirit Halloween a few times.

I don't understand why people support that side, everyone should be supporting kamalla at this point.
