2026: Part 2 - even more naps, if you can believe it

Hi! Six months have gone by since... uh, January. I didn't check the calendar. Time sure is flying by, huh? As you can imagine, life's done what life always does: thrown curveballs at every opportunity. Thankfully I've weathered them (to the best of my ability), but it's definitely tossed a wrench into some of the plans I had for this year. That being said, there's still been a lot of fun moments, and I'm finding new things to love each and every day! c:

Site Updates 2

Remember when I was like, "Dark mode too dark, what if I add more contrast?" and nothing ever came of that? Something came of it! In fact, a whole lot of somethings happened recently! Now there's a whole-ass settings menu up there that you can press buttons in and change things! You'll notice that if you're on the Dark theme, there's a fun little High Contrast button you can toggle to make things a lil' more legible! While I was at it, I went ahead and changed how the themes are applied, so that (a) they respect your browser's choice (light/dark) and (b) can support other themes as well, like the brand new Downtown theme! (Note: Downtown still needs a little work color-wise.)

You can now change the font size of the body text in the settings menu too! 'Cause, like, reading a bunch of text can be hard sometimes. I totally get it. Or maybe you're like, "text too big, catwraith," which I'm not judging, but also, how? Doesn't matter, you can shrink it too. It should go up or down five sizes.

There's also buttons for forcing on reduced motion (if it ain't already set in your browser), and pausing/playing the parallax background.

New Tunes

idk what ancient deity I accidentally made a sacrifice to, but YouTube of all places has started recommending me some jams. Like, fresh off the garage press goodies. Here, have some!

My ears are happy, y'know? I'm always on the hunt for new stuff, and this has been so nice to dig through. I've got a playlist full of stuff that I wanna share at some point. ...Speaking of which, I need to update the monthly playlist. Oops!

Movies

I've never been a huge movie person. I don't wanna just say "Oh, I have ADHD" as an excuse, but it's super hard for me to sit still for 90-120 minutes, especially if I'm not deeply interested in what's happening on-screen. That being said, I've been dragged out of my burrow to see two movies over the past two weeks, so here's that.

• Scary Movie (2026) - Eh. Scary Movie's always been meta, but this was just painful to watch. Every joke was "Ain't we done this before?", and then they shrug and do it anyways. There were a few gags I laughed at, but overall, this was a cash grab, and one they weren't all that subtle about. 2/5 😿
• Supergirl - Better than I expected! It's not perfect, to be sure, but I thought that Milly Alcock absolutely nailed the role. It falls flat with the story and some of the action sequences; they don't have that visceral reaction to a solid impact that you'd want in a good superpowered fight. Jason Momoa makes an appearance as (you'll never guess) a big, burly, hairy outlaw-type bounty hunter, and he fits the role perfectly. All in all, I'll give it a 3.5/5 🐱

Ciao

There's always more going on, but my attention span is waning. Off to do something dumb now! byeeeeeee
