*stumbles into Spring*

Wooooooo... season change.
By way of an actual explanation, have a stream-of-consciousness paragraph regarding what all I've been up to since my previous journal many moons ago:
Learned that my parents plan to put the house on the market in the near future, thought about throwing a BBQ, was very let down by Jupiter Ascending but saw potential in the background universe it introduced, was much more impressed by Spongebob: Sponge Out Of Water, decided to throw a BBQ, had to start dealing with a large house cleaning effort, struggled through my Anatomy and Physiology class, puttered right along at work, threw a BBQ that everyone seemed to enjoy, gradually realized I wasn't as online as much as I should've been, had a bone to pick with some of the Oscar results, laughed my tail off at What We Do In The Shadows, began serious preparations for both BABSCon and BLFC, was reasonably charmed by Focus even though it's ultimately just a shameless riff of both Charade and The Sting, started doing a little better in Anatomy and Physiology, continued puttering along at work, continued cleaning the house, continued doing various social things with various wonderful people, was greatly let down by the tonally-confused mess that is Chappie, finally got around to seeing the stellar remake of Little Shop of Horrors, realized that I'm actually on staff for BABSCon so I should probably start prepping for that as well, was totally charmed by the wonderful new Cinderella, began making more serious preparations for Comic Con, listened to every Beatles song ever thanks to a very kind friend, finally saw Bound and noted how the Wachowskis had such a distinct set of sensibilities down from the beginning, made attempts to get into the habit of watching more Criterion films on Hulu starting with The Night Porter, had vague glimpses of several possible futures in my life and tried to sort out what they all mean, sort of enjoyed Run All Night but realized that Neeson did better work in the similarly-veined A Walk Among The Tombstones, caught up on a bunch of classics like The Seven Year Itch, Stalag 17, Z, High Sierra, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Rififi, had to take every single thing out of my room so as to let the carpet get cleaned, was decidedly unimpressed by The Gunman and its attempts to turn The Constant Gardener into a low-rent action movie though still appreciated how that got me back in the mood for more Le Carre in my life, began making more serious plans for medic school and a moving out of home, still puttered around in work and life, was pretty gripped by '71 even though it also reminded me I have't seen Bloody Sunday yet, had a brief documentary kick with the ballsy The Ambassador, the weirdly compelling The War Room, and the historically distressing Hearts and Minds, enjoyed the brief little bit of rain we managed to get while still trying not to think about how much hotter, dryer, and generally more miserable the planet's climate is going to get from here, very nearly finished up Silent Hill 3, finished strong in my Anatomy and Physiology class but still ended up less than a percentage point away from the grade I wanted, was deeply disturbed and creeped out by It Follows, introduced a group of friends to Rear Window and was then introduced to the delightful adaptation of Noises Off!, possibly found a good set of future roommates maybe, discovered Deliverance was so much more than just banjos and squealing pigs, began falling back into my usual cycle of "plan out things in the future for no particular reason", remembered that it had been far too long since I did an FA journal or forum post on a different forum, and now here I am.
Oh, and a bunch of other stuff happened, too.
Hope you're all doing well. I know I am.

wow it really is a stream of thought, must stop reading as these things drive me nuts, can't stop reading interesting info about movies, I know nothing about biology and a little about psychology, why do I always think of psychology when people talk about biology, oh neuropsych, yes rear window was great, another noises off fan excellent.
I definitely need to remind you about those coupons.
And this could've been way longer! So there!
This Sunday, the California wrestling community is likely to ruin Roman Reigns' main event match at Wrestlemania with arbitrary boos because he's not from the internet, much like Pennsylvania fans did his Royal Rumble win. Any possible intervention on your part?
And I'm afraid not. Though I do know two individuals who will be attending. I'll have to ask them how it goes.
And that's probably because I watched it at home on my own. I do a lot of classic catch up via my Netflix account.
