Did The Movie Make Me Do It? p 20

It's Day 184 of the year and the main project. If you've been following along for any amount of time, you know I'm talking about the fact that movie fans, specially horror fans believe that the first movie you watch on January 1st is like a glimpse into your calendar year. This has been proven a few times. This year, I decided to watch Elvira Mistress of the Dark as my first movie pick of the calendar year. As I have reported earlier in the year, all the drama from the movie seemed to pile on me in a very similar way the first two months of 2025.

Here we are at the beginning of July. And everything has simmered down a lot.

But, you know how when Elvira gets to town and her uncle's henchmen make a pass at her, both of them are a little dumb. Well, the summer heat must be starting to fry the brains of the guys in my area, because the dating app I'm on sure does seem to have a lot of dummies.

There's one guy who messaged me last week who seemed really sweet; only I could tell he was trying too hard to impress me with what he thought most women wanted to hear. He was going on and on about the last few rom-coms he watched. I kept saying to him "sorry I haven't seen that one." It was clear he had not bothered to actually read my profile, otherwise he would have known I am a horror ghoul. Not really a reason in itself to add him to the dummies pile, but the fact he was one of those guys who writes in internet abbreviations and say "u r makin me read a lot" did.

Then there was the guy who matched, sent me a quick hi, and has tried to match with me again five times since. I honestly do not know if he's unaware that you do not need to hit the match button every time you want to start a chat or if he just does not remember he's already matched with me?

And that brings me to the preservative-conservative guy. Yeah, this guy's profile was one big political rant. He said he was looking for a submissive conservative Christian woman who would stay at home and have three kids. Ummmm...clearly this dude did not read anything in my profile. Specially my age. He was in his mid-30's, and I'm in menopause. I'm a Liberal Pagan who is a practicing witch. I don't know what that guy was thinking trying to match with me?

Hallowe'en season has started early this year. Yay! I've already done a few posts on here, as well as I started making youtube videos again. So I've already done some Hallowe'en hunting videos for this year.

Speaking of videos, that brings me to the point where I mention the movies I liked the most this past month since my last check in.

I watched The Great Salish Heist a few days ago on Canada Day. It's about this archeologist who is trying to keep his local artifacts from being sent to a museum in Europe. He accidentally makes a deal with a mobster to steal them. It deals with his personal grief from his marriage ending and having lost a child. The plot is a bit thin, but there's this richness to the way the characters are written.

Okay, I'll be back next month with the next check in.
