August 3rd, 2026 - One More Day

I’ve seen Spider-Man. That was on the 30th. When I tell you I love the movie please believe me, please understand that it isn’t recency bias. I’ve seen reviews of people saying we only like it because they’ve turned MCU Spider-Man into Tobey / Andrew, it treads no new ground. Fuck man, if this movie is just a soft reboot for the new Spider-Man films I’ll take it. In a way it’s homecoming as it’s an introduction to this Spider-Man, in a way it’s far from home in that nothing actually happens, Spider-Man runs around for a bit, the only difference between them is that one is in Europe the other New York (and one is watchable), then it’s tone is so similar to The Amazing Spider-Man. In mine eyes it’s one of my favourite Spider-Man movies. This is Tom’s best I think, the action is fun, the story is fine, the colour grading and art direction are amazing, the suit is gorgeous, the emotional bits hit hard. I love it. After the movie we went for dinner at the Mandarin. How strange it was to be in my old ends with friends and not family. Even stranger to be sat next to him.

I wrote today as I don’t have work. I have been granted One More Day. When last we spoke was some 2 months ago, a lot can change. Thankfully my life has stayed somewhat the same! What recently has taken over my life is my birthday party. I’ve already sunk 700 some dollars into. I’ve invited all my friends and family. In place of going to medieval times, I’m bringing medieval times to us. We’re all going to a park and Larping! Every day for the past 3 weeks I have been crafting weapons of foam and sticks and duct tape. I pray they will hold against the force of my friends. I have bought boffer arrows to shoot at one another. I am very excited.

Additionally, Tania and I are going to medieval times! We’ll go this Wednesday as she isn’t able to make it to my party, she’ll be in Newfoundland. I really made a mistake, she asked me if I was doing anything for my birthday and I said no. Right after she booked her tickets is when I started planning. How foolish am I to weep at her absence. My mother and siblings can’t make it either, they all have tournaments that day. I’d be lying to tell you I wasn’t upset at all this. I’m pretty distraught but I did it to myself with Tania, I’m just bummed about my mom and siblings. No matter, I shall have the best time possible. RONIC ALSO CANT COME!!! :,(

Ryan, Martin and I hung out yesterday, we listened to Martin yap for a good minute before we went out to eat at a Jap BBQ and then we went back to his to help make my weapons and play monopoly. I love the small days, where you don’t do very much but enjoy company with people you love.
