angels and ministers of grace

Olympics are a go! The good ones!! The CBC Gem feeds seem VERY prone to freezing for no reason, which made watching curling a bit of a chore today, so hopefully they get that fixed by opening ceremony time. It's the one time every four years I give a shit about (real) sports, lfg!!!

Movie theatre is still closed, but I have finally started watching movies at home again, so maybe the healing can begin ahead of whenever it actually opens back up. Fuck winter! Fuck everything about it!!! Except the good Olympics! Also it's actually really warm right now!

Period is kicking my ass, work even more so, but I've got my front-row TJPW tickets, and Mystery Wrestling 23 tix go on sale tomorrow. I'll have to catch a midnight flight to Windsor afterwards if I want to make the MLP/ROH show the next day, but if this is my one big vacation this year, I might as well go all in, right? And I don't mean Wembley.

Hiromu leaving NJPW is brutal. Am I really going to have to start watching NOAH just to keep up with that wonderful weirdo? There aren't enough hours in the day! If Drilla leaves, I might just have to walk straight into the woods and never return.

Why work crazy?

Two days in a row without the temperature ever once popping above -40 degrees is... wearing on me, but at least it's Friday, so I can finally get a decent night's sleep tonight. We successfully went out and picked a new set of living room furniture on Wednesday, and while that meant dropping another $1000, we ended up with even nicer stuff and the guy gave us a genuinely great deal on it and was very helpful throughout and I'm actually feeling cautiously optimistic about the whole thing again? Delivery is tomorrow afternoon (after all of the sleep), so hopefully it doesn't fall apart at the finish line again!

It's still night when I both get to work and leave it, but there are a few more hints of sunrise/sunset on the horizon with every day that passes. The end will come. Just gotta get there.

Theatre's still closed, though. Pretty sure now that I'm going to miss The Bone Temple entirely, and that that list of films is only going to grow. Bleak shit! I don't think I've ever hated living in this city more than I do this month!

At least I have plenty of wrestling to catch up on. I don't want that to be all I watch, but watching movies at home just upsets me right now, and I have inexplicably finished season 1 of Sailor Moon, so I may just hunker down in a little cave of obsessing over the graps for a while, until this bout of lowercase-d depression passes.

Okay, back to dealing with the absolute stupidest emails from car salesmen that you can possibly imagine for eight more hours, bye!
