Books. Occasionally movies. Sometimes hockey. Museums and interesting things.
I also like board games and The Sims 4 but don't expect me to write about it.

Read some RPF about certain people and now I am a bit uncomfortable watching them. Never thought this would happen!

Bought 8 books in the last 10 weeks. And the weirdest thing is that I have already read one of them since then!

I miss the kind of fantasy books I have been reading in the late 90s. They were suitable for teens but they weren't "teen fantasy". And there was some romance but it was never the main (or even secondary) plot.
And now I've read 3 books of the Raksura series by Martha Wells and yes! Just like that!

If people use "the Mandela effect" to mean "what I personally believed in" one more time, I swear to God, I am gonna call them dumb.
Oh, who am I kidding. Didn't wait for the next time. It's just that this person also called it "mandala effect". That was the last straw. Though I didn't say "dumb"!

Probably Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when I was eight. I thought it was great and loved everything and rewatched it a few times but then after a long time I watched it when I was probably 20 and was creeped out by a lot of things there.
okay as we’re all discussing it I’ll ask: what inappropriate-for-your-age-group film did you watch as a kid?
mine was Terminator when I was 10 or so which was a) brilliant but b) gave me a lifelong revulsion of stop motion

Twenty years ago when I was working in a supermarket, I sold our famous tv show host/actor (still famous in my country) diapers for his (then) newborn baby. Still the first thing I remember when I hear his name.

Putting "pin please" in your comment (and nothing else) hoping to get pinned under some youtuber's video is kinda pathetic.

Not a lot of things can hurt as much as songs you used to listen to when you were twenty.

Also, today I thought of making an account on letterbox but then I realised I can't be casual in anything - I thought "I would have to beat everything in competitive letterboxing, wouldn't I?", and so I decided not to make an account.

A Working Man was so terrible it deserves a post.
I won the tickets in a movie/tv shows quiz yesterday so at least I didn't have to pay but even then.
Why would anyone film something like this in 2025? The story was simple, but it was made worse by illogical behaviour and horrendous dialogues.

A lot of times when I see people wearing high heels/platforms I think "oh, so people do that in reality? Because their knees for some reason doesn't hurt when wearing high heels/platforms? Huh"

This "I want you to wear my wedding dress for your wedding" thing - why? Just why? Usually its style is old fashioned by then, so it's not even "I am in love with your dress", but even when it's not, why? To be close to your mom/MIL? Are you not close otherwise? Weird and illogical tradition.

Unpopular opinion but all this "they are at heaven, looking down at us" is so weird. I don't mean as any particular person, but in general. Like, you truly believe people die and go somewhere (heaven/hell) and watch you/the Earth? Very you-centric belief.

Started reading a book (not terribly impressed yet), the main character is named Finch. And the author doesn't explain why. If everything went according to my wishes, every single book would explain why the characters had their names. I mean not why the author named them X, but why their parents did

I have no idea where the Lithuanian word for north came from. But west means evenings, east means mornings, and south means lunches/afternoon meals.
