This week's questions were suggested by [livejournal.com profile] canuckfetish .

1. Have you ever stayed in a hostel? If so, where? Did you like it? If you haven't stayed in a hostel, would you?
i've never been. i would not stay in one, i don't want to share a room with strangers. i don't even want to share with my brother (separate beds, of course), but we do to save money. besides, i'm too old to go to one now.

2. What is your favo(u)rite airport that you've been to? Why?
i've only been to 5 & i would not say i had a favorite among them. i will say that just before we went to atlanta for the first time i overheard this guy tell an older couple that hartsfield–jackson was the worst airport in the country. we thought it was OK, but i guess it's different if you have to spend hours there, or travel a lot.

3. What is the best museum you have visited on vacation?

i've only been to 2 the world of coke in atlanta (nothing special) & the los angeles county museum of natural history. not much there & what is there had bad lighting, so that's probably why it was $9 in 2009.

4. Have you ever made friends while traveling whom you keep in touch with on a regular basis?
no.

5. Have you ever had a conversation with a seatmate on a plane?
no. thankfully the 3 times i flew (6, with the round trips) i was with my brother and talking to him is not horrible.

other answers are over here.

some sacrifices must be made

we decided to forgo youtubeTV for a month (suspend? pause?, i forget the term) or so in order to get disney+ again. because they list of MCU things is getting longer & avoiding spoilers is becoming an olympic level sport.

we would've done this last month, but thunderbolts didn't have a release date yet, now that it does we put the plan into action.

of course now that we did this, CBS announced that the amazing race is coming back in september. but it's all big brother people & their friend/spouse/sibling racing this time. i don't watch BB & this might be the first time since the "second chance" season that i have little interest in watching TAR.

my brother's main show, the rookie, is rumored to start a new season in january.

to fill in non-disney+ time, my brother got the plutoTV application for the tv (it's free) & so far the saying "you get what you pay for" applies.
it's owned my paramount & there's a lot of paramount/CBS stuff (they own CBS, if you didn't know). they have channels of just one show, which is odd. and what looks like all of the major market CBS news stations (like reruns of the daily news?) but there's a bunch of star trek episodes, columbo, murder she wrote, old game shows, and the NBC & ABC news streaming channels (oddly enough) so it's not horrible, but it's not that fun either.

Weekend

My Chemical Romance was amazing! A top five show for me for sure. I hope everyone had as great of a time as I did. My wife and I had a blast, it was all I hoped for and more! I was moved into a new position at my current employer. I'm excited for the new role and new responsibilities. I used to be so bored all day and now my hours are better and hopefully I'll be getting a raise in the coming weeks. I guess things are looking up. I promise that I'll be uploading some of my actual work soon. There's just been a lot going on. Speaking of, do you remember when I said my A/C wasn't working? Well turns out my wife didn't listen to what I said when we set up our new thermostat and she left a switch that should have been in the up position down. $120 later and I was right :) I hope everyone had a great weekend! Sami

So excited!!

Concert tonight!!! Ugh, it's been so long since I've been to a show I'm actually excited about. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!! My wife and I have been to so many shows over the years but this one I'm almost positive will top them all! I mean Panic at the disco will def be hard to beat but either way it's going to be a great night! Anyone else going tonight? If so have a great time! Sami

Lets start this journal/bookish thing

So I guess to start this out I'll just share a little of what's been going on in my life recently. Two days ago our AC broke which has been lets just say difficult. My kids text me all day about how hot it is (even though they refuse to leave their rooms) upstairs. It's absolutely been... terrible. I know, I know there are way worse things that could happen and honestly our electric bill will be thanking us next month.

My wife just started a new job which she loves. I've very happy for her but at the same time a little jealous. I've been looking for a new job for about 6 months with no end in sight. While this job just fell into her lap. Not that she isn't hard working or anything like that but someone retired and the higher ups didn't want to go through the process of hiring outside the company so just kinda put her there. I think I'm more than a little jealous now that I'm thinking about it and that's alright. My time will come, the right job will be along eventually. Right??

I've been trying to make friends but honestly that shit is hard when you're an adult. I can't be the only one feeling this way right? I tried the bumble bff app, had to pay for it so forgot it. Not gonna lie I'm pretty cheap when it comes to that sort of thing. I tried reddit too and just got a bunch of creeps that wanted to see me and add me on snapchat. Ugh. I don't even know where this is going anymore.

Perks of this journaling thing.... I actually look busy at work.

Until next time,
Sami

Hi there

So this is my first post here. I'm not sure how this site works yet or even if anyone is seeing this. A little about me:

My name is Sami.
I'm in my 30's and live in New Jersey.
I married my wife in 2022.
I was originally on writing.com until I realized that in order to post anymore I would have to pay for the site. Which is why I made the switch.

This is mainly going to be for workshopping a book. Well it's kind of a book. It's got some poetry and some words to accompany those poems. I'm not really sure how it's coming together so feedback would be great. Well if anyone is seeing this anyway. If not I'll just ramble to myself.

I hope to hear from someone soon.

Sami

a small follow up/addendum to this post i did a few months ago.

like i said then; maybe i've been lurking at r/ThriftStoreHauls too long, but i'm starting to recognize some of the higher-end fashion brands characters wear in movies & tv shows.

in the columbo tv movie murder under glass, the food critic has a gucci briefcase.

in another columbo tv movie, columbo and the murder of a rock star. the (former) rock star in question has a 2-piece set of louie vuitton luggage.
