TGIS: Maybe It's Time To Spruce (Patreon)
Content
Hello and happy Saturday, Patrons! How is everyone doing this weekend? I woke up with some meh energy today! It's an overcast day in LA...I like to think of it as 'swaddle energy'. It's not sweater weather, it's swaddle weather! All I want to do is be physically and emotionally wrapped in a blanket! So, we're taking it easy today. We're getting the house cleaned and attempting to organize. Whenever I feel the meh it usually comes as a byproduct of some physical clutter. Does that ever happen to you? When I let the house go, my general motivation suffers. I'm a supporter of the idea that our physical spaces can be projections of our emotional states. Maybe it's a libra thing too, we're affected by beauty and disarray. Libra's are the scales, we're constantly striving for balance and order. So, today we restore and reset! What do you do when you find yourself in a funk?
**Warning, drag race spoilers!**
I spent the morning catching up on Drag Race, who's watching? We're now in the top 7 so it feels like the season had finally kicked into gear. It also feels like Irene Dubois sahsay'd away about 20 years ago. I thought these interview challenges were... interesting, but these one hour edits made it feel like we saw the best/worst 3 seconds of each competitor and didn't give me a whole lot to go on. I loved how they did so many segments just using their own trailers/golf carts. Like, no attempt to add anything special, just use whatever part of the set they hadn't used yet. It felt like the way I used to make old youtube videos in my apartment, just use whatever the fuck was laying around or turn the camera into a different corner and pretend like we have a completely new location.
Regardless, I'm sad to see Malaysia go, but she seemed like she was done. Sasha continues to dominate, no surprise there. She's gonna win right? We can all agree on that probably? I get the feeling that production has to edit around how hard she's actually killing it. But I'm also loving Anetra and it seems like she's getting some momentum. Look at her actively working on that resting bitch face! She has such a quietly confident, strong energy to her and I'm all for it. On the flip side, Loosey is a chip away from cracking and I can't stop laughing at Mistress constantly poking her. It's big Jan energy and it's almost hard to watch her creep closer to a big ol menty b. But it's entertaining! And who doesn't love sweet, sneaky Mistress playing the complex psychological mind games? I love it. My guess for top 4 is Sasha, Anetra, Mistress and Lux. I think Loosey's gonna get axed before top 4 and it's gonna be A LOT. I mean, c'mon, she has THREE WINS after all. lol. Thoughts on top 4?
We also burned through Formula 1 on Netflix this week. Anyone else watching? I freaking love that show. Its got the pettiness of Housewives but within a billionaire's sport. I can't get enough of watching these bonkers ego maniac millionaires fight with each other. The drama! It's rich! Literally! Plus the consistent popping in of Ginger Spice, who's married to the head Red Bull guy, is so weird and confusing and wonderful. They live such extremely affluent lives and I find it fascinating to watch them exist like it's all so normal. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in sports and wealthy interpersonal pettiness. And the occasional Geri Halliwell.
Speaking of spicy girls, I have to give Goose a bath today. I just remembered. I remembered because I can smell her. That gets added into the pile of things to clean. Maybe it feels like it's about time for a big spring clean, on all the levels. We're in the month of March now, which is wild. Time flies. Maybe we're in that post resolution phase where things kinda feel like they're plateauing or slowing down and it's time to reactivate ourselves again. Time to check in on what's working and what's dragging and what needs to be picked up. I've been meaning to do a big social media sweep, sitting down and actually unfollowing all the cobweb accounts I can't even remember that I'm following. Keeping my apps clean is definitely something I ignore doing, so maybe it's time. Maybe it's time to enter a cycle of cleansing. Yeah, I kinda like that. Activating the psychic purgative efforts, getting rid of the shit, and cleaning up the clutter. Maybe that's what the meh is signaling. It's time to spruce! Ok, yes, I'm liking this. A little bit of direction. We're gonna follow this energy and see where it takes us before we succumb to some swaddling. Cut to me ordering 3 dumpsters and throwing away everything I own. 🙃 Okay, I'm gonna get out of here and get my spruce juices flowing. I hope you're having great weekends out there, whether you're swaddling, cleaning or in-betweening! And if you have any hot tips on how you spring clean, let me know! Thanks, as always, for being here! 💚G
