Where are my boys??? And by my boys, I mean, the male cicada killer wasps that usually hang out by the rose bushes that are on my walk to the gym. They’re usually up and buzzing around this time of year and in the mornings, but I have not been seeing them :( I wonder if the owners used a type of pesticide or what to keep them off but I miss them.

Alien 3
Finally, a pro-abortion movie <3
Project Hail Mary
What’s interesting about this is that I didn’t really like it, but I enjoyed watching parts of it in IMAX and getting to talk about it with some friends afterward. To get this out of the way, the ad placements and this being made by Amazon and some film continuity errors took me out of the movie a lot. But whatever, I can get over it, and also, I really wanted to buy in so I could enjoy myself.
...Accepting that no matter what, for as long as I live, I will continue to incur small injuries doing kitchen work, perhaps as a payment for the delicious things I make, or because of, like, statistics. Also, I only have waterproof bandaids in my house?
Fragrances I’m enjoying:
- Odeur 53 by Comme des Garcons (banger, the best)
- Odeur 71 by Comme des Garcons (sometimes can feel a bit too sweet, but comforting)
- Blackpepper and Black by Comme des Garcons (both of these I love primarily for their black pepper opening note)
- Portuguese Man o War by Zoologist (the opening note kicks you in the throat and it’s so addicting)
Perfumes I thought I was obsessed with but now am sick of:
...Pillion
I don’t remember where exactly I heard of this movie first, but when I read the premise I was like, okay let’s fkn go. That was a month ago and I figured I would have to find a version online somewhere at some point. Super happy I got to see it in a big theatre (AMC 13, yay).
I was really, really touched and endeared. There was an aching (for something, romance, attention) from Harry Melling’s character Colin that was so, like, real feeling. When you have nothing, and have nothing to lose, and so you can lose yourself entirely to a person, under whose gaze you can feel like have something, finally, maybe even be somebody.
