That one ok go music video

I just watched a TikTok (🔗) OK Go made about making the music video for Here It Goes Again and it warmed my heart. Sometimes we become so familiar with something we forget how magic it is. I really love reminiscing early internet / YouTube stuff, and this sums up the silliness a lot I think. OK Go were truly ahead of their time! Fuck ur big budget mv!!

having a favourite youtube video

Y’know, like comfort media. The kind of thing you find yourself coming back to every year. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe you’re sentimental, or maybe it’s just good for a laugh. I came across this again the other night, after not seeing it for a few months. Was reminded that I’ve been watching it sporadically every year for half a decade now. The algorithm seems to send it to me a couple times a year and every time it does, I’m reminded of how much I love it. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. the first 4 minutes of birds chirping. the greens and blues that radiate off the screen. Maybe it’s just the music. But everytime, without failure, it makes me hopeful. Optimistic about everything still coming. Do you have one? I can’t be alone here. share it, if you do. I’d love to watch it and hear about what makes it special to you :)

Movie marathoning

I’m usually a tv girl. I always binge watch series for hours sitting in my room, and I also have a strange habit of bailing on a show a few episodes before the series finale lol. Idk what that’s all about. Literally watched Ozark NONSTOP for days and then got to season 4 episode 2, and was like….suddenly i’m out. Currently working on bailing on Gilmore Girls because every character is in desperate need of a vow of silence. BUT recently I’ve been movie marathoning. Watching, like..three movies in a row. This seems super boring and normal, but it is like an exercise in paying fucking attention to one thing at a time, which I struggle with lol. Recently, my manager and I were upstate sitting by a fireplace and we watched Autumn Sonata, followed by the Blair Witch Project, and ended the day with Eyes Wide Shut. I’d never seen Eyes Wide Shut, it’s cuteness overload. Boobies galore. Autumn Sonata had me weeping - went into it thinking it was just a cozy fall movie about two girls who do nothing (my favorite genre) lmao. But yeah, having a movie marathon day instead of a watching tv while looking at your phone moment, is a lot more fun imo.

Bette Davis

I’m a Bette stan. I discovered her a couple years ago when I had covid and was locked away on my birthday in my bedroom with a bottle of wine and a plate of chicken and rice. I was raised on movies and tv, but I somehow never knew about Bette. I always knew the song, “Bette Davis Eyes” of course, but didn’t know just how special her eyes really are lol until I watched All About Eve. It was my 26th birthday, I was a little tipsy, and I was scrolling through movies on the TCM hub on Hbo Max and saw All About Eve, and was like…i’ve heard of this…let’s see what this is all about. I was not prepared for the obsession that was sparked in me the second I saw Bette. “YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE A JUNK YARD” she said that! I was watching her perform, and was like…this woman is an Aries no doubt in my mind. Turns out her birthday is just a few days after mine. I wish I could have a joint birthday party with her. She’s so funny, so in control, and allows the camera to see every side of herself, the ugly and the stunning. Ive watched so many interviews of her, I follow all the stan accounts. I can’t get enough of her. She makes me want to perform. She makes me proud to be an insane aries woman.

More minimal skincare

Okay, so I fell into the tik tok trap of trying to look like a teenager for as long as possible, and I told my dermatologist to prescribe me retinol. I used it, like three nights a week, and then got so obsessed with the false belief I had in my head that it was making me like a doll, I was using it almost night...yikes. But THEN, I went to a facialist and the second I walked in she was like ….”you’re using retinol, aren’t you?” and she told me it was irritating my skin and that I should stop immediately. She told me to stop with all the serums, the at home peels, the 200$ lotion, and instead wash my face with Klorane’s micellar blue cornflower water…random lol. And to use Avene’s Cicalfate+ cream by pressing it, not rubbing it, into my face over and over again. I’ve never had a more minimal skincare regime in my life, of course I still use SPF every morning, but stripping back on all the glamorous goops has seriously improved my skin texture and my overall vibe. Also, I’m saving so much money because I’m literally addicted to buying skincare, and now I feel like I’m not allowed to, and I have a weird religious school instilled thing where I don’t really do things i’m “not allowed” to do lol. More on that in my next album.
