itches my fat head. hi guys. i said it briefly on my neocities wall or whatever, but i'm sorry for suddenly dropping off the face of the earth again. it's been a suuuuper busy past few days for me and just a hectic month in general, honestly. lots going on, good and bad. mostly good. i think?
anyways. i'll start off with something i wanted to make an entire blog post about but it's probably a little too late for that now: i recently saw the living tombstone live!! it was such a cool show, and i had so so so much fun. i've been listening to their music for almost my entire life, and it felt like a sort of rite of passage, yanno...? i recognized almost all of the music that they played, and hearing songs i looped over and over as a kid like squid melody and discord and even SEPTEMBER was amazing!!! unfortunately i'm a niche oldhead so i didn't get to hear some even Bigger favs (jumping devil, cut the cord, 1000 doors) but maybe that's a good thing because i think it might've killed me
it meant a lot to me. yoav said some very touching things during the encore about existing on the internet, the community that's fostered there and how meaningful it was to him. that resonated really hard with me, which is probably pretty obvious! i grew up online; my parents taught me to use google before i was even in preschool. even though it did terrible awful things to me, the 2010s web did a lot of wonderful things, too. the living tombstone is one of those things!
of course i enjoyed the concert in a more literal way, too. in all honesty, i'd never been to one of their shows nor had i seen footage, so i was expecting a soundboard midi pad kind of setup with microphones so sam and yoav could sing. i was ENTIRELY blindsided by all the tombsonas, because i don't really keep up with bands in that way, honestly!! i care much more about the music personally. STILL. it was SO fucking cool. wat. their costumes are all excellently crafted and i could not believe all the shit they were doing in them. armstrong especially blew me away.
now... complaints-ish. the show was at the one major venue in denver that i hadn't been to yet and i think it was... alright. it was Fine. i kind of felt like my best friend who i went with (ablebodied) was being too harsh on the accessible seating because i've had way worse... but i think it's alright for me to be kind of pissed off, actually. they had these sort of 'steps' leading up to the main entrance of the venue and had one big area on the middle step roped off for accessible seating (which i paid specifically for btw). the only issue is that, naturally, the taller folks attending a concert are going to want to be near the back of the floor so they don't block anybody's view. SMALL ISSUE: THEY NOW (mostly) BLOCK OUR VIEW, BECAUSE WE WERE NOT ELEVATED ENOUGH.
we tried to ask them to move but they didn't really have anywhere to go, so i don't blame them!! i do blame their partner, though, because the only dance move they seemed to know was holding their hand straight up in the air in 5 minute intervals. on another note: we accidentally got people yelled at because they had taken our spots. which. we weren't trying to do, and i still feel kind of bad about. we just wanted more chairs to sit in a different open spot. Sorry. sorry. not really. you took our spot. STILL. sorry
also paid parking was fine but hectic at first because the person meant to check our paid pass was just. Gone. and we were panicking like "where the fuck do we go" only to circle back around and have them magically appear. sure, man!
all of that aside, it was still awesome. i got some great videos, which i would put in here if i knew how. they're too chunky and i don't really wanna wait for them to upload to youtube or whtv. picture it in your mind's eye.
damn, that definitely could've been its own entry. sorry, i got lazy and now you get one big huge long entry. because i still have more to talk about, though it's not much.
i saw wicked: for good with my lovely mother on friday and it was great. the musical means a lot to her because she saw it on stage live with her best friend, and was super excited to see the first part with me in the theaters when it was adapted. even though it was never a musical i saw or watched personally, i still liked it. i'm always happy to do things with her because she's awesome and the best mom in the world. i love my mom guys
and then, this past saturday, me and my mom both made some food for this local queer organization's free friendsgiving a town over. my best friend came too, but he didn't cook anything since she didn't wanna raise suspicion among their Interesting family. i was so excited to drop off the food that i made, and am sure it went to great use :) i had a bit of food myself, but i have steady access to meals and also ate breakfast beforehand so i left it at one plate with some potatos, turkey, a roll and a small slice of pumpkin pie. i fucking LOVE pumpkin pie by the way. it's the opposite of texture hell for me. texture heaven. the pumpkin filling and crust is so good i cannot comprehend. ANYWAYS. tangent
they also had a live choir perform which i was not expecting, but they were absolutely lovely and such a treat to watch!! it was a group specifically for transgender indiviudals iirc, and it gave me a lot of hope in these particularly evil times. it was just really nice. the hope and community you can find at local events like those is unlike anywhere else.
after we left, my friend came over for a bit and we sat on our asses and finished watching something we actually started hatewatching: haunted hotel. you've probably heard of it, especially if you're on certain parts of tiktok, and i'll be honest: I Do Not Love It. BUT. but. i don't hate it as much as i did when i watched the first 4 episodes originally. i still think the pacing of the entire series and the episodes themselves is god awful and the artstyle is fugly, but i think it definitely got better as the season progressed. the fact it's written by rick and morty people makes. Sense. it definitely makes sense. i do not have a favorite character but if i had to pick it would probably be the sentient yandere room that the mom managed to fumble. that's hot. or the pillowcase killer because they're called the pillowcase killer and that's fucking hilarious to me for reasons you have to know me to understand
this happened before all of that stuff, but i also patched things up with a metaphysical individual i've been talking to for a bit. i'll probably go 'visit' him again tonight after i have some more food, cuz god forbid i fucking fumble again. things with darly and rodge and my 3d partner are good, and i'm happy!
that's about all of the shit that's happened in november thus far, and honestly i'm probably just gonna enjoy the rest of the month before i have to go under the knife in early december. they keep moving my date around and i can only hope it remains static from now on. if they move that shit again i'll be on the news
thanks for reading! i wanted to do something website related today. teehee
