I am slowly working my way through both Stephen King's The Outsider, which is a new title for him but very old school Stephen King monster novel. Am enjoying it so far. And I'm re-reading It, which is...an old school Stephen King monster novel. Clearly I have a genre.

The last series I actually watched to completion was The Rain on Netflix, Danish post-apocalypse deal which started really strong but fell into predictable post-apocalypse tropes toward the end and set itself up for a second season rather than having a really satisfying ending to season 1. It was a decent binge, though.

When I'm bored I've been watching Defunctland on youtube, which is a series that goes over the history of closed down theme parks/rides/experiences. Mostly Disney, but I got into it because they did Son of the Beast and had a bunch of Busch Gardens Williamsburg episodes.

Music-wise, The Now Now by the Gorillaz is a decent summer album. The songs that got dropped before the album came out are all REALLY catchy. Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae has been out for a bit but is still just fucking excellent. Metric and Death Cab for Cutie have albums coming out soon and have released singles. The Metric songs that are out are really solid and kind of remind me of their older stuff (Combat Baby, Old World Underground, and stuff off of Fantasies). Neil Cicierega (the Potter Puppet Pals guy who does a lot of really solid mash ups) has an album coming out soon, too, I think. Oh and Young The Giant also has a new single out but no announced album afaik but I like the single a lot.

when did you first read It? i read through a bunch of stephen king books around the time the movie came out & was kind of surprised at all the ... stuff ... i totally forgot happened in that book. :u uh.

lol. the rain is... on my netflix watchlist, yeahh. sounds like something interesting but maybe not too demanding? which might be perfect for me rn honestly.

weirdly, i was JUST reading the wiki page for action park (which was... kind of funny in a seriously guilty what the fuck way). i'll have to check this out~~

&& i love the new metric stuff. :x ♥

I read MOST of It the first time like 7ish years ago, but didn't get to the end. It does have some... real weird shit in it lmao. That book was def ghostwritten by cocaine.

Yeah I knocked The Rain out on a dreary Saturday. It was predictable but at no point was I like, wondering if I should bother finishing it. And oh man I love all the weird tales from closed theme parks, it's very entertaining. I was specifically going through and hitting videos for coasters/rides that I'd been on to find out why they'd closed.
