Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The director's commentary for The VVitch is apparently a lot of Robert Eggers bashing his own movie for the most specific and/or tiniest period-inaccurate details. (For example, he actually considered having the holes of Anya Taylor-Joy's ear piercings CGI'ed out of the movie.)

I think my favorite line in this was, "Our goats are incorrect." 😂 Sir, one of the goats is Satan.

Right when I thought things were settling down and I could get back into my routine, my body decides it's a great time to get sick. Started with a dry/itchy throat around Sunday night, eventually built up to feeling feverish and lethargic yesterday, along with a sporadic cough and the sniffles. Took a sick leave yesterday afternoon and today. I think I can go back to work tomorrow, but I'm going to be working from home to be safe.

Getting sick this time is weird because I feel shitty enough to not want to go to work but not shitty enough to spend most of my day sleeping and/or whining. I mean, I did spend most of my time sleeping yesterday but I was actively trying not to sleep this afternoon because I woke up with the type of headache I only get when I oversleep and I didn't want to experience it again. I even have an appetite! So weird.

Whatever this is, it looks like it also hit Sister T. She didn't feel as bad as I did, but she decided to take today off to be safe. I think it might be due to the weather changing from cold-as-fuck in January to I'm-being-boiled this March.

📽️ The Old Guard 2 felt more like a generic action movie than its predecessor. Don't get me wrong! I love my action movies, generic or not. And the aforementioned action was certainly slicker and more visually appealing than the first movie. But there were too many moments where the plot points or dialogue choices took me out of the moment. This was in a weird spot between, "Not dumb enough for me to enjoy this mindlessly," and "What the hell are they doing?" All that said, I'd still watch a third installment to see Uma Thurman and Charlize Theron fighting to the death 😆

📚 Something about Makoto (the top/alpha) from Omega no Mukotori lit up all my neurons in the best way 👀 I guess I just have a soft spot for dark-haired burly dudes. I also very much enjoyed the fact that Yoshiharu (the bottom/omega) was the much more aggressive character and did most of the pursuing. I will gladly consume A/B/O content, even the non-traditional stuff.
