I watched Bio Hunter right after finding it. It seems I saw about 3/4ths of it when I first caught it on television all that time ago. It’s only 58 minutes long. The interesting thing is that it does involve demons. Except it’s a demon virus, not just explicitly possession or an outbreak. It’s both, ha. So I was partially right and wrong. It was fun, but it felt more like an introduction to a series rather than a singular narrative. And I gotta say, I had the most excitement during the very beginning of the movie with the sex scene and at the very end with the cool final battle. Plus, this was based off of a one-shot manga so there’s no more of it, but it’s cool they made this. And again, it’s great being able to find it after all this time.
I find that violence and sexual content rating pretty amusing. “We’ve got a high level sex scene with low violence, chief!” And I didn’t realize it was done by the guy who did Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D. Interesting coincidence.
Heidi was kind enough to help me pick up my Uhaul order yesterday. Then we had a magical, decadent day watching Bon Appetit videos, eating fried chicken, and drinking. I got to introduce her to Honey’s Kettle Fried Chicken which is a nearby favorite and I’m pretty proud of that. I even made a great homemade cocktail with tequila, raw honey, and clementine juice! And of course she made a delicious chocolate cake for us. It felt like the before times since her and I used to do this almost on a weekly basis and they’re amongst my favorite memories in this city. She’s the hostess with the mostest but as a guest and a friend she’s gracious and so lovely to have around. I realized I didn’t really get to do this in New Jersey since all of my friends lived all across the state. They were the ones that would lovingly host and treat me to their space but it didn’t really seem possible on my end. I wasn’t even able to really do that for significant others since I’d usually just go to them. Spending time with her in LA helped me understand that I am capable of providing care and comfort to other people. She’s truly an incredible hostess, she’s amazing at cooking and baking and knows how to bring people into the fold and help them feel included. So being able to hear that she feels taken care of and blissful when she’s in my home feels great. I enjoy being generous, and while I can’t provide in a bevy of other essential ways I know I can feed people and make them laugh. I’ll miss this dearly.
We talked about everything, our futures, our fears, hopes and dreams (as you do, haha). We joked about how we both dream of having Vitamixes, husbands, and studios. She told me that an Irishman would be a great fit for me since they’d be jolly, would enjoy my cooking, and we could competitively drink. Hahaha. She’s considering entering culinary or pastry school. I think she could absolutely do either, but as for which path to go… neither one of us could be sure. I wish it was possible for her to do both in one place (there’s gotta be a place like that, right?) But it was good to gab and carouse. So good!
Check her out!😍Basically an honorary roommate <3
But hey, the beauty of getting to live on my own and experience these things is that I’ll be able to apply it to the life I’m returning to in New Jersey. And if I somehow live in my own independent home eventually I’ll know that I can take care of myself and whoever is with me in a sophisticated manner. 👑I’d love to organize something for my friends in New Jersey but… we’ll see what happens if this pandemic ever stops ravaging the state. I know I owe my dear bun, Annie, a proper hangout sesh in my house. Yeah, she got to come to LA when I was living in my old apartment and it was a great, lovely time but I wish I could have had her experience this new place! But having her around made my bleak Westchester studio (which had just recovered from being flooded) feel like it was a nice place to be. Plus, I’ll never forget us making spaghetti and dancing wine drunk to some old hits, another top memory.💖I’ll make it up to her and everyone else one day. For now I’ll fantasize~
Anyway, I could probably eat fried chicken and biscuits all day. I drank my last Spicy Mango Cart which was also my actual last beer yesterday (so sad). But today’s task? Grilled cheese and packing. But first, I’m gonna brew up some mate and shower. We’ll see how tonight goes. Also, I seriously want a pork roll sandwich. Ugh.
