we're all fine here, how are you?
So with all the news from D23 (the Marvel What If with Hayley Atwell voicing "Captain Britain), the return of Kat Dennings, Ming Na Wen being in the Mandalorian? And directing, Dave Filoni doing his first live action, plus Deborah Chow, Bryce Dallas Howard and Taika Waititi?? And Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan.
What do you all think? Is Disney+ worth my money? And of course, with all these streaming services, eventually we will be offered bundles, which means we are back to... cable.
And the new sizzle reel is up and I pretty much sobbed through the first full minute of it. I didn't like Attack of the Clones, but apart from such a loving look at Han, Luke, and Leia, I really enjoyed the glimpse of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and Maul but damn, why Boba Fett and not more Padme? WHY WHY WHY. And yeah, Rey's double bladed red light saber and costume are super cool. And with those ISDs? Is that a Katana-like fleet?
Also, my spawn leaves at the end of the week to return to college and so I'm very sad. Spawn is moving into a campus apartment so we had to buy things this weekend, including the nightmare scape that is Bed Bath and Beyond and then Ikea. But it was so much better than the first we tried to do this. I am always reminded of this piece from the Onion,Mom’s Fears About Daughter Leaving For College Channeled Into Fight About Storage Bins. Spawn had opinions and sort of had a list and roommates had a googledoc.
And today is international dog day! So we're taking Thorin Corgishield and Komo to Pups on the Patio at one of our favorite local places, which the spawn really wanted to do.
And, actually, not so fine. I'm at that point where I hate every word of my NFE and think I'm terrible and it's terrible. I don't like to post this because I think it makes others feel badly -- I'm not hosting this or asking for or accepting a gift in exchange that makes you miserable! Which I totally get and that's not it but the self hate is real.
It is all completely between my ears (I hope). Over the weekend I had a lovely new reader discover Stuff for the first time and they complimented me on the visual style of my writing which 1) I'm terrible at visuals and descriptions NO VISUALS but 2) gosh, yeah, I can see what they mean, which means I'm terrible at it now but 3) surely I'm a better writer than I was 24 years ago? Right? Or Not right? that ever-downward spiral of self-doubt and loathing.
Blergh. I just to power through this. I really thought, at my previous pace, I'd have had it posted by the initial deadline of Saturday with time for 2 treats. Ha ha such a loser. And just have to keep going. It's so different from what I"ve done in the past I have no baseline of comparison.
