also hello mastodon how are you. i have been doing nothing but watching marvel movies and tv shows for a month.

this month's emojis: may flowers!
naturally, this month's lightning icon is... well, about the only flower-ish icon i have. it works.

@pink_ink
welcome! 🚀💫 which star trek is your favorite?

(i went with the package, which in hindsight was probably a bad idea as nothing in the stack was remotely pleasant, but hey at least it's open now...)

you open your mailbox. inside is:

- a package you did not expect to receive (but which you know the contents of, and are thrilled to open)
- a stack of very unpleasant Life Things that you would really rather prefer to leave there, because they all either lead to dreary phone calls or bill payments

which do you open first?

@chocochipbiscuit 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱
oh my god LMAO AT LEAST I DIDN’T DO THAT good grief

there's also the story of the $400 that haunts me, but that one's even worse, because it's a tale of College Fiscal Irresponsibility, and also a reminder of how i left a sony psp on an airplane and decided to replace it with one that cost LITERALLY TWICE AS MUCH

i was not a particularly wise youth, is the summary here.

@lj_writes i never promised a happy ending 😭😭😭

...i really could have used that $300, though. what's it going for on ebay these-- $150 ARE YOU KIDDING ME 😭

ANYWAY. i've been listening to that artist's discography again and just hit those concert recordings.

and today, after 11 years of barely listening to them, i'm struck by how good they are and how much i'm enjoying them. i have over 15,000 plays for this artist, i've heard all these songs hundreds of times, but it's like i'm discovering them for the first time. it's really lovely, and is giving me a brand new appreciation for every song.

so about 11 years ago, i spent $300 on a 10-hour, 13-disc set of my favorite musician's concert recordings. it was, and pretty much still is, one of the most extravagant and ridiculous purchases i have ever made, especially as i did not really have $300 to spare at the time.
(i did listen to one of the songs 3000 times in 3 months, but i still don't think that justifies it.) (...although the song was called "Justified" so maybe-- no okay.)

i was going for the whole april showers thing with this month's emoji but there's only so much i can do...
at least next month is easy. idefk what i'm gonna do in june.
