Extremely belated Happy Halloween? I hope everyone who celebrated had fun! I'm not super into dressing up or anything so I just handed out candy to trick-or-treaters after work, and that was the extent of my celebration lmao. The best part of Halloween is the discount candy afterwards, of course.
I did watch two slightly spooky movies leading up to the 31st, though! My friends and I watched Lisa Frankenstein, which is a black comedy set in the '80s about a teenage girl and a Victorian boy who comes back from the dead. They fall in love. There are some murders. It's a very funny movie, Kathryn Newton is great and the whole thing has a very Heathers vibe. Highly recommend!
We also watched Bodies, Bodies, Bodies because my friends wanted something scary and this is about as scary as I'll go haha. It's another dark comedy, kinda slasher lite so a little bloody but nothing you wouldn't see in a regular R-rated action movie, so if that doesn't bother you I highly recommend it too! It's about a group of young adults (and Lee Pace lol) at a house party who play a murder game like Werewolf/Mafia that ends up taking a dark turn... Definitely do NOT look up anything/spoil yourself on what happens if you plan to watch it, for maximum impact.
This past week I had some extra time off work, which I mostly used to play Veilguard and read books. I didn't even pretend I was going to be productive this time sdjfhsjdhfs. I did go out for dim sum with my mom for lunch one day, and we also made a gingerbread loaf that I've been meaning to try out for like two months now.
THE AFOREMENTIONED LOAF
We actually didn't have quite enough ginger as called for by the recipe lol, but it still tasted good! The recipe was from Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis, who does those comedic TikToks making old-timey recipes. It's a lighter loaf than your standard gingerbread, from some 1910s recipe or something. I think I prefer the regular denser gingerbread, but this was still worth trying out.
Oh and Arcane is back!!! Season 2 aired the first three episodes last Saturday, I'm so glad it's back... Is anyone else watching? The beginning of this season is definitely just bolting through stuff lightning-quick, I'm curious where they'll go from here but lordy they are trying to pack in a bunch of stuff lmao. I need to see more of my son Viktor, come back to me 😔
(I keep seeing posts from people being like 'I didn't ship Jayvik last season but now...' like what do you mean you didn't ship it last season. They have been like this the entire time. Glad you've seen the light though, now you too can feel like a rabid dog over them. Speaking of, CaitVi shippers how're we doing after all that lol.)
