This place is to share my dearest media consumption. Sometimes I think, "holy shit, I've spent so much of my life in front of a screen", but is it time wasted if it is something I enjoy? Hard to say...

Princess Mononoke (1997)
This movie changed the trajectory of my life. It sparked my passion for the environment and helped me become the person I am today. The art and music are just so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Arguably, the best Miyazaki film created.Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
The grandpa in this film reminds me of my own grandpa - cynical, dirty, an addict, but also loving lol. It makes me laugh and feel sad at the same time.series
Planet Earth (2006)
It is crazy that we live in this wonderful world. Brings me a greater appreciation of the majesty and complexity of nature. The visuals and David Attenborough's soothing voice puts me in a trance.Skins (2007)
Oooh baby, baby, it's a wild world. Watching this at the ripe age of 13 was probably not great for my growing brain, but I love how raw this show is. The first generation (seasons 1-2) will always have a special place in my heart.Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015)
I have never laughed as hard at a show than this one. I wish I could watch this for the first time again.Pen15 (2019)
The second hand embarrasment is unbearable at times, but I feel like you could replace the plot with scenarios from my life and it would have the same impact. A must watch for all former teenage girls.watching・゜゜・．

The new season of Bob's Burgers has the perfect amount of melancholy, which makes me fear that the series is ending soon. How will I ever recover?

Trying to connect to my southern roots by listening to country music, a genre I often neglect. I have really enjoyed Stardust by Willie Nelson, very soft and romantic, but I didn't realize it was basically a cover album. At least I can look forward to listening to the original songs.

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (1972)
It holds the status of one of the greatest albums of all time for a reason, but I always feel like such a chump whenever I say its my favorite album lol. Highly recommend going to a Pink Floyd laser light show if you have the opportunity.This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About - Modest Mouse (1996)
This album accurately depicts what if feels like living in car centric America.Depression Cherry - Beach House (2015)
Ethereal, I'd listen to this as I bathe in the moonlight.

Super Mario Advance 4 (2003)
This was the first game I played on my first gaming console. The edges of my pearl pink gameboy became covered in bite marks from the frustration of not being able to pass a level. I like to pick it back up every once in a while.The Sims 2 (2004)
I cannot put into words how much I love this game. So much creativity was put in this game that the later Sims lack. The level of detail is mind-blowing as I am still discovering new things after playing since 2009.Stardew Valley (2016)
I can live my dream of quitting my job to become self sufficient on a farm in a rural, walkable community through this game. The soundtrack makes me feel warm and tingly inside (shoutout autumn)playing・゜゜・．

This is my second playthrough of the game, the first being in 2022, and I have noticed so much more that has deepened my love for Unpacking. If you haven't played, the game revolves around unpacking your things into various different living situations throughout your life. I compared my previous playing style with now, and it is actually drastically different. I figured I would have ended up putting the items in the same places. Objects were neatly tucked away in drawers, similar objects like books were always placed together, and things were lined up like you would find in a grocery store. Looking back, I'm wondering,"what was I thinking?" My current game looks more lived in - an organized mess if you will. I think about how often the character would use certain stuff and place the most frequent in easily accessible areas. Unpacking has me psychoanalyzing my own life and priorities, comparing my state of mind now vs then. I also had a conundrum on where to place the toothebrush in the roommate house. Should it share a cup with my roommate's toothbrush? Is that intrustive? I mean we've just moved in? I ended up placing in on the counter. I obviously didn't think about it too hard in my first playthrough because behold! there's my toothbrush in that cup.

I didn't realize I had so much to say about Unpacking. I could still go on about it. I definetely appreciate it more this go around, and perhaps will move it to my favorites list.
