Thank Fuck, It's The Weekend!

[ryanreacts]

I rewarded myself for surviving another week full of stupid by ordering the Mega Mighties Megazord. It was less than $19 including tax, so I feel great about that. Another cheap toy I bought yesterday night, who was somehow delivered this morning, is the Isabela Madrigal doll for $8.65. She is so gorgeous that I may have audibly gasped when I took the mailer off of her box. Will probably buy at least one more cheap Encanto doll VERY soon. It almost feels weird to know that I have spent $27 (plus another $7.42 on something that won't be here until Sunday even though I ordered it with Isabela) on toys that are not Monster High, when that money could have gone toward a playset or purchased one of the cheaper dolls and had a few dollars left over, but then, it also feels extremely natural that my exceptions are MMPR and Encanto. Perhaps I'll watch one or both of those this weekend. Maybe even, hmm, one after the other? Power Rangers, Encanto, more Power Rangers?

Obviously, I am VERY VERY VERY HAPPY about this weekend.

For several reasons! One of which is: The cannabis gummies I ordered yesterday as soon as I deposited my check. I'm eating one bag right now. Twenty-five doses (five gummies) every forty-five minutes. Just had my second dose. It's an Indica strain called Forbidden Fruit, and every inch of my brain is beyond thrilled about the imminent prospect of getting a night of cannabis-fueled sleep (with a little NyQuil just in case) and then wake up and decide which fun thing to do first.

These are all of the library comics I could read so I can return them so I can borrow more:

• Marvels X, which I got for the Alex Ross art
• Uncanny X-Men: Disassembled
• DCSG: Ghosting
• DCSG: Powerless
• DCSG: Weird Science
• Captain Marvel Vol. 9 - bittersweet, since Vol. 10 will be the conclusion of Thompson's run!
• Strange Academy Vol. 2: Bright Side
• Strange Academy Vol. 3: Wish-craft - sadly, this is the end of the series
• Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In the Dark
• The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes
• The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
• W.I.T.C.H. The Graphic Novel Part I, The Twelve Portals, Vol. 1
• All-New X-Men Vol. 6: Ultimate Adventure - haven't read the first five volumes, but I love this team (it's the Teen O5) and am excited about this story in particular because MILES
• Black Widow: SHIELD's Most Wanted
• Ariel and the Curse of the Sea Witches
• The Variants: A Jessica Jones Mystery (this has a high chance of being the thing I read first)
• Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed

I have a meticulous grocery delivery order ready (?) to go, for which I give thanks because it will help be avoid spending too much on snacks when I am at work cuz Vons is more expensive than Food4Less, okay, but weekends are also a time to treat myself to a treat or two or maybe even more from a restaurant. I should avoid delivery because extra fees, but even if I am limited to places I walk past every day on my way to and from the trolley, I could eat at Del Taco, Five Guys, Dave's Hot Chicken, Jack in the Box (their breakfast biscuits are cheap & tasty), probably literally half a dozen Mexican restaurants including one El Pollo Loco, Little Caesar's, Panera, KFC question mark, and I'm not even sure what else. But that's quite a lot of interesting options already, clearly.

May or may not treat myself to another movie in the theater? Then again, maybe I'll just walk to (for example) Five Guys, which is technically part of the same mall as Regal Cinemas, but get my food to go, and bring it home, and watch a movie at home. This theater doesn't have recliners (they have stadium seating, which is fine, but fine is nowhere near as comfortable as recliners), and I couldn't smuggle in an entire hot meal, so the more I give this three and a half seconds of conscious thought, the more I think I should watch & eat at home.

One thing I've watched more than once in the last few weeks is the Buffy finale. I even took a video of the best scene and sent it to my sister and said it always makes me cry and she replied, "Wow, yeah, it made me cry with no context" (note: This would be an interesting clip to watch with no context, since it involves Buffy being taunted by First!Buffy, who looks exactly like her, down to the same outfit and matching mortal wounds). It is one of my favorite things to watch when I am stone'd. Sadly it's not on my yootoob playlist called "Still Blazin," but it should be. Some things that are on this playlist include . . .

"At the Winter Gala" (an MLP mash-up)

Ms Marvel trailer

Captain Marvel "Big Game" TV Spot (this is only thirty seconds, but it's such a rush that I've watched it hundreds of times in the handful of years since the movie came out)

The Marvels Teaser Trailer (to the great surprise of nobody, I am very excited to see Monica again! She has been my favorite MCU character since WandaVision. And obviously I love both Carol and Kamala quite a lot as well, so an entire film about all three of them? I haven't been this excited about the MCU since Wakanda Forever)

Yellowjackets Season 2 Trailer (I was and still am obsessed with this show, and it is honestly one of the best trailers I have ever seen)
Bonnie Bennett: Seven Nation Army (this starts with voice-over of four badass things she has said, including: "I don't belong to the spirits anymore. I belong to myself." Chills, every time. I love her so much. She deserved better, but when the writers let her do stuff she was fan fucking tastic)

Princess Rap Battle: Mrs Claus vs Mary Poppins

Buffy Season 7 Trailer (another one of the best trailers I have ever seen)

Buffy All You Wanted Legendado (this is a fan-made music video of Michelle Branch's "All You Wanted," which follows two storylines: Willow & Tara, and Buffy & Faith. I discovered it in high school, so the quality is not great, but in spite of that I have watched it so many times)

CHARMED 2018 Trailer ("You're better together, your differences are your strengths, and nothing is stronger than your sisterhood.)

When I was walking to the trolley this afternoon, CHARMED tried to make me cry. For some reason I had this brief mental flash of the time when Maggie was in danger, so Macy said "Get away from my sister!" and lashed out telekinetically. Which then also made me think of the moment in the very first episode when Jeremy shows up at the house to kill them all, and without even thinking about it Prue throws him back and says, "Piper, Phoebe, get outta here!" And I did start to get a little teary-eyed! And again just now, typing it up!
