#denver is just SO good

[sn4kebites]

jackman is such a good album. 24 minutes long and every track is so good and so raw. i do not take like most of anthony fantanos opinions seriously anyways but the low score on this one especially was such a bad take.

#this is a good album #i think the last two albums have been so so mid from harlow #this album is solid. blame on me alone is gonna be top ten songs out this year for me #the lyrically raw content of jackman is good #the musical production that feels true to harlows sound #like its an objectively good rap album to me #i think jack is a really talented musician and i was deeply disappointed with his shift to pop after whats poppin hit air #because i think he had a little bit more of an edge before that #but i respect what he was doing for his career #jackman is such a 180 and it feels great #it strikes good balance between rap and production #and the work in it provides interesting and thought provoking commentary #challenging harlows reputation as a white rapper and reconciling with fame and relationships #f/ntanos most egregious take about gang gang gang which is obviously a commentary of 'bros over hoes' culture was so so bad lol #denver is just SO good #like. objectively good. the flow and the guitar on it. the introspection. the vocal adds a haunting quality #sorry. i am pretty picky with albums in general #jackman is an 8/10 to me for sure. super unexpected #void.speaks

oh i never posted abt it here. but post office guy ended up moving away. i found out a while back & then i went in somewhat recently & he was at the counter & he was weighing my orders & said "today's my last day, actually!" & i said "oh really? i was worried id missed you already..." we joked around, me & him & his other coworker who sees me regularly. he said his car was packed up to go & he went "it's been a pleasure, working with u" & i told him it's crazy that he'd been with me since the very start of me opening my shop & we wished each other well & he gave me my receipt & said "have a good day, man" & was so smiley like always & i said you too + "have a safe drive"

#started crying before i even got to the car #just... wishing him well always. always been so sweet to me. so well mannered & capable. never made me feel stupid #when i had questions abt post. i wish such good things for him & his wife #but yeah. post office guy era has come to an end! so no more post office updates </3 #found out the older man who served me a few times passed away too :'( #we talked abt john denver. thought maybe he'd retired. found out he passed :(( #if you've ordered from my shop there's like a 65% chance post office guy handled yr stuff. he was my clerk a lot #so everyone say thank u post office guy

After a cold snowy riding lesson followed by a hard gym session, this leftover Indian is literally the best thing I’ve ever eaten 😋

I’ve never been so happy

#so delicious #it’s chicken korma #from a Denver chain that just opened a location kiddy corner to my house #so good #but so dangerous being that close #tikka and grill

Ah dammit setting this in ABQ was a mistake. Now all I want is to go back to New Mexico. Fuck. And every time I drove down to Pueblo I’d be like “I could just keep going for another 3-4 hours and I could be in Albuquerque instead and wouldn’t that be better” (which I think is also what I told my mom when she told me she was moving to Pueblo after my brother graduated high school) (sorry Pueblo you’re fine but man. If the choice is Pueblo vs basically anywhere in New Mexico? NM wins about 85% of the time)

Also not me walking to the writing “retreat” this morning thinking “you know if it were Tucson it would already be like 85 degrees now and these jeans and tennis shoes would be unbearable… man I miss Tucson” completely sincerely and unironically

Scone, my sweet scone, pastry whom i love who has wanted so badly to live in portland again since he left in like 2014? 2015?, I am so sorry but I need both of us to get into industry to have the experience on our resumes and then I need us to gtfo of the PNW. Or like, I need to spend a significant amount of time in the southwest. Because after moving out of Tucson I didn’t *really* think I’d miss it being 105 on a daily basis but oh my god I want to cry because at least I could self soothe with good yoga and blasting AC and all the Mexican food I could stuff into myself. I miss the monsoon season and the truly oppressive heat that feels like you’re walking into a hair dryer. I miss people speaking Spanish. I miss all of the cafes and restaurants and all of my friends. I miss the saguaros and the lizards and the ocotillos.

I know it’s literally hotter in Tucson than it is where he’s living in Saudi Arabia and he hates it and arizona is his “anywhere but there” place to live, but… wah :c

#moving away from Tucson broke my fucking heart #if for some reason the worst case scenario happens and scone isn’t able to get here #I am taking a very long trip to Tucson #and then I’m taking a very long trip to Denver #I just want to live in the desert again :( #remember when we went to ten thousand waves in Santa Fe for MF’s birthday? :((( #ughhhhhggghhhhh #anyway I clearly need to stop filling up the romance novel Pinterest board with ~setting inspo~ #all I want is good green chile #I want a bathtub full of green chile #I am so sad and so bereft of green chile

John Denver is such a good musician

ok it is also cool that pansexual merman's little sister uses a prosthetic tail

and that they didnt completely typecast each mermaid based on her hair/tail colour to an element. Green mermaid is water instead of earth, pink mermaid is earth instead of fire, and some rando who has 1 speaking line in the entire film is air :)))))

the problem is really the plot. it doesnt feel creative or exciting. we dont even KNOW the stakes. some woman who we dont know just says "the fate of our world depends on it ." but she doesnt seem at all concerned or worries or anything. and its like in what way? how will the world be changed if this doesnt go to plan? nobody knows. probably not even the writers.

i think what i really miss is when barbie and her friends had to be clever/creative/industrious in some way to solve their problems. Like Annalise finding that purple geode and using it to revitalize her kingdoms economy. Or even corrine in princess academy who had to figure out that she was the lost princess, and her friend who was a music genius helped fighre out that the Beep beep BEEP Beep of the door code could be deciphered. Now its all just "barbie is kind and a friend to everyone. that (+ magic) solves all her problems the end." but the truth is that being kind to a bully/abuser wont always make them stop being mean? (in fact i would say that a lot of the time it wont work!) barbie rapunzel and barbie nutcracker stood up against the evil people and defeated them.

also the music is bad and the backgrounds/animation in general arent as pretty as they were in video game hero or starlight adventure. They look more on par with backgrounds from princess and the pauper, but without the really loveable characters + compelling plot + amazing music to make up for it. also backgrounds rendered entirely in 3d just dont look as nice as the old more painted style ones.

final criticism is that the conservation of oceans message was really shoehorned in and even then it was pretty shallow bc if a bunch of mermaids can just zap the great pacific garbage pile into nonexistance, they can do it again right? like thats a bad way to show that garbage hurts sea creatures. They should have actually had a seaturtle try to swallow a plastic bag, or had fish get stuck in those 6 pack can connector things, and had barbie and co actually put in some WORK to help, rather than just do a <2 minute "battle" against the garbage and then immediately have a dance party?

ok compliment sandwich i guess their hair looked nice. Very shiny. made me want to look up hair care routines

#barbie mermaid power #barbie #honestly i just wish they would go back to telling classic ballets/fairytales with barbie #like there are a MILLION more ballets out there #that was where the barbie movies were at their peak #also did i mention that the music in this one SUCKED #like it had none of the heart that the old music did #it was just synthetic pop sounds after the second one i just listened to the first 15 seconds or so #and then skipped to the last 15 seconds or so of each song #none of them were even CATCHY synthetic pop #:( #pls barbie make good movies again i am begging on my hands and knees #also introduce more Barbie Robertses #have a san fran barbie and a vancouver barbie and a denver barbie and a London barbie and a paris barbie #make an army of cool diverse women all named barbie roberts #and have them all just call each other by their cities to avoid confusion #and for gods sake give them diverse interests too! #like the two barbies we have are into... music and vlogging and... kindness ig? #i know we have skipper and stacy and chelsea #but make the other new barbies like her friends from life in the dreamhouse #have some who are into various sciences and arts and sports #and for gods sake make one of them a BALLERINA

Visual rep of me in an in n out

#ok let me recount my day yesterday #i woke up at 7 am eastern time (after going to sleep @ 2) #then we went to the airport and I had to do an interview for school @ 9:50 in the airport and we waited until 11:10 to board #we had to take a layover in Chicago but we stayed on the plane for our second layover to Denver international (I have beef w that one) #so the plane to Chicago is fine and I slept through it then to Denver the issues started #for context: I hate planes they’re so overwhelming and they make me miserable #anyways so I started to get a headache from the changing air pressure o something and wasn’t feeling well in gen #then we landed in Denver and we had to go to a different flight to get to California (we came in through a smaller airport hence the #2 layovers) by that point I was just done flying and it got to the point where I was just not hungry even though I barely had food #the plane just made me owie #and from Denver to California (not trying to dox myself rn guys) we hit turbulence #and my head was hurting and then my stomach was just flipping out and it wasn’t a good time #but we landed and then drove to an in n out for dinner (tradition) and I was starting to feel a little better and hungry so I INHALED #absolutely DEVOURED that hamburger oh my god #anyways we’re getting Jack in the box this morning and I’m so pumped #if coming here didn’t require going by plane I wouldn’t mind the travel time #but I fucking hate planes #anyways how was your august 9th? #jas yells

Okay I’m actually fascinated by what this company is doing

It’s a strange thing to be thinking boy I get this job doing something I’ve never been interested in (NLP, computational language stuff) to create things I hate (chatbots and prompts for customer service reps in call centers) using tools I’m deeply suspicious of being used for nefarious purposes (AI and LLMs)

WHOOPS TURNS OUT ITS REALLY INTERESTING

I’m explaining it badly but like, it’s VERY COOL what they’re doing and how they’re doing it

#think good interview thoughts tomorrow pls #9:30 meet with job coach #for interview prep #10:30 talk to other hiring person (ie do the interview) #????: profit #it’s also a remote position so THEORETICALLY I could just stay at the job while moving OUT OF THE PNW #I have high hopes of being able to save up a comfortable amount of money in the next couple years #and buy a house in the Denver metro area #god that would be the fucking dream
