So I've obviously been terrible about updating again. It's been for a few reasons, all of which I'm very aware of, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. For one, it's been summer reading at the library, so I've been very busy at work. But I think more importantly are two things going on at home. Firstly, I've really made an effort to not get on my home computer much. I'd developed a very bad habit about coming home from work, where I'd often been on the computer all day, and just getting on the computer again for the rest of the evening. But secondly, I've been doing a daily journal this year. A lot of the time, once I write about my day in my journal, there just isn't the impetus to write it all up again for LJ.
Of course, part of it is not really being involved much in any kind of fandom, either. I was doing pretty well with making icons for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
theiconthrone there for awhile, but that's fallen off my radar, too.
I continue to miss LJ, especially my first couple years on here; I miss having messages to respond to, and having assorted amounts of fun. I don't know - it just seems more difficult for me lately to make the time for it. I always go to bed each night thinking of all the things I didn't get done; there just isn't enough day for me anymore, it seems like.
(It doesn't help that I feel guilty for not keeping up on y'all's blogs. Like, if I can't make the time to stay up-to-date with what's going on in your lives, what right do I have to post anything here and expect any of you to read it? I have the oddest social media-related anxiety sometimes, IDK.)
Anyway, I'm going to try (again, as always, ad infinitum) to be a bit more dilligent about checking in at least weekly. I need to, like, set aside one day in particular for LJ stuff. Maybe that'll work, heh.

Date: 2016-08-02 09:41 pm (UTC)What did you think of Midnight Special (I got that one right at the movie quiz last night //important stuffxD) and Zootopia?
Also I finished Breaking Bad a few weeks ago and you were so right, so much shit got real with season 3!
Ah *hugs* don't feel bad, I go without updating for a while all the time, I'm mostly around for a HP landcomm and to read other peoples post and just talk to them in the comments there, that gets them caught up on what is happening in my life too (also not much is happening in my lifexD). How is the writing going, do you still have time for it?

Date: 2016-08-03 10:06 pm (UTC)Midnight Special was very good. It reminded me some of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, if you've ever seen that movie. Real, regular people struggling to deal with something extraordinary. Zootopia I liked, but probably more for the world in general than the actual story, which was a little silly (even considering it's a kid's animated movie).
Writing is going well. I'm nearing the end of a new screenplay right now. That's probably why my time is so limited for other things, actually, because I've been pretty good about writing most days.

Date: 2016-08-03 10:15 pm (UTC)I admit I haven't, but I have heard of it.
Yeah that world was fascinating! I liked the story for the themes it hit, I'd love to know how well kids understood them in relation to society and what they experience.
woho :D What's the screenplay about?
no subject
Date: 2016-08-03 10:29 pm (UTC)The screenplay is about a guy who moves to a small town with his disabled daughter. One of their first nights in their new home, someone breaks in. The man starts dating the cop who makes the report...only to find out she was the one who broke into the house, when she starts stalking him. And what do you do when your stalker is a cop?

Date: 2016-08-03 03:26 am (UTC)It's always hard to find time for everything you want to do, isn't it? I have trouble with that too.
no subject
Date: 2016-08-03 10:14 pm (UTC)It's weird that I have trouble finding time for things, considering I have no kids and work 40 hours a week with no overtime ever. Why don't I have enough time again?

Date: 2016-08-04 03:49 am (UTC)How are you liking Stranger Things? Husband has suggested we give it a shot once we're up to date on Agents of SHIELD (we're chronically behind the times because we wait for most things to come out on Netflix), but I don't know much about it except it's sci-fi of some sort with a vintage 80s aesthetic.
no subject
Date: 2016-08-04 02:54 pm (UTC)I'm enjoying Stranger Things, but I have a few issues with it that are keeping me from being too enthusiastic about it. Mostly it's the one-dimensional female characters, which feels so regressive in today's TV landscape; I'm sure someone's already written a meta-textual analysis about how that's actually just part of the 80s aesthetic, or some such nonsense. But it's a well-made show, and there's been some cool moments, and the young child actors are doing stellar work. So I'd recommend it, at the end of the day.
