i finally bought topo chico hard seltzer earlier this week. i've tried three of the four flavors. so far, mango is my fav, followed by lemon and strawberry guava. the strawberry one is the worst so far. has an almost medicinal feel to it. all of them are topo chico in name only, that is, they don't taste like topo chico at all. maybe the the different crest (lion on the hard seltzer, an aztec person on the normal) alludes to it being made differently, outside of the obvious alcohol-related changes. it's less bubbly. topo's signature feel is a lot of bubbles. thats not here. so while i have enjoyed them more than, say, cacti, i'm not sure i will be buying them that frequently just for myself. the feel just isn't there

i drove out to the beltway to watch 'scott pilgrim vs the world' in theatres. i didn't see it when it was released back in 2010, so when i heard they were bringing it back for the ten-year anniversary (jfc ten years?) i knew i had to go. would have liked to see it with someone, but i couldn't think of anyone to invite that would want to and that i would want to with, so i went by myself. it was fun. for a while, i thought it was funny that i hadn't gone to see a movie in years. or that i would do it once a year. the last one i saw was 'uncut gems'. and before that.. 'joker'.. and 'once upn a time in hollywood' before then. anyway, i'm going to try to make it to more now. way more fun than watching in my room. i liked how the whole place seemed to rumble in the louder scenes. weird to see that after all this time, i'm the same age as the characters in it though...

i have decided to do some cyanotype prints this month. going to do a few on paper, but main plan is to do them on canvas so that i can have them as patches for totes and other stuff. also planning on doing iron on regular black and white patches on canvas. basically, i want to personalize more of my stuff to give them a distinc value tailored by me. i tried to do a quick print on just paper, but since the sun was setting, my impatience led me to rush it. the sun hit at an angle and didn't quite expose the negatives proprarly. i realized it might be an issue and tried to correct it, and there was a difference, but i didn't give it enough time. the prints ended up mostly blank with some blotches resembling the image. might bring it to work and try again there? worst case i don't get around to it and carried some paper around

bought plastice jackets for my record. now theyre fully protected even though i don't play them as much as i used to
