    i finally finished flowers in the attic! the last few chapters were really good. now i'll have to start reading the next book in the series and go on from there! i've been needing more things to do while i'm stuck at home and i have a lot of v.c andrews books, i just haven't read them. i'm pretty stoked about it.

    can we just acknowledge the lives lost, marriages destroyed, sex lives rekindled, divorces filed, weddings postponed, graduations delayed, dream vacations cancelled, friendships started, health problems caught early, job firings, job hirings, funerals, and birth conceptions that have happened because of this pandemic. can we acknowledge the people and businesses becoming so financially drained that they are now in debt and the people and businesses that are gaining millions over this. the loved ones lost and the babies being conceived in quarantine right now. the children going hungry because school was how they got their meals. the number of dogs being pet by their owners, owners who were never home before. the number of people wondering how they would even pay for treatment if they got sick. the number of people stressing over how they will make next months rent or whether they'll be able to afford their prescription. the people who have just earned a new job because of the crisis and demand for workers in hard hit industries. the new recipes being learned while in quarantine. the books being opened that will forever change a person's outlook on life. the sketches being drawn and puzzles being completed. the puzzles that are being left incomplete. the phone calls people are making to family members that they haven't talked to in years. the confessions of love that are being whispered. so much is happening because of this pandemic and so much is happening in spite of it and even before the novel virus, all this stuff was still happening, for decades, every day. life is so bizarre.

     

    it's really crazy to think about how much this is impacting everybody's lives in a multitude of ways. i honestly never thought this virus would become this widespread and serious, now it's directly affecting my life because i have three weeks off of school and it may just end up being the rest of the year unfortunately. i really hope something great can somehow come out of this. much to think about.

    I just appreciate that you see it as B-cinema and not as some realistic character study, though. 

     

    It's a pretty campy movie that hasn't aged well, but I'd be damned if it's still not well-acted (Holly Hunter breaks my heart in it. :ohno: )

     

    i see it as a geniunely good film, but it's definitely not as well known as other teen movies, and it's a lot more raw and distressing. i love the aesthetics of it, the clothes, tracy's bedroom, the sprinkler scene, the slightly trashy early 2000's vibe. i read on wikipedia that throughout the movie, the color and saturation changes, and i never noticed that detail before but i think it's really cool. it's such a unique teen film and i love it for it's unapologetic vulgarity and tainted beauty.

    it's really tiring to see misinformation and mass hysteria being spread around so much. majority of cases are mild, resembling a cold or mild fever/flu. it's usually not dangerous unless you are 60-70+ or already have a depleted immune system. you can stock up on lysol and hand sanitizers all you want but the reality is that coronavirus is a virus and those products only really kill bacteria so it probably won't do much. and also, just because somebody has a cough does not mean they have the coronavirus, it's sad that even has to be said.

     

    however it's still good to take precautions and follow reputable news and medical sources to keep yourself updated on what's going on. this is still a major issue but spreading mistruths and hysteria does more harm than good.
