15 thoughts on Toy Story 5

Not too long ago, I saw Toy Story 5 with friends! Here are some thoughts. 

  1. As always, the Toy Story team did a great job
  2. I was happy for Jessie to take center stage
  3. The legion of Buzz Lightyears was just too funny
  4. I genuinely appreciated that, in the end, technology is not the evil initially thought, but rather it's how and why kids use it that makes the difference
  5. It was moving how Jessie's first kid named her daughter after Jessie, but that said, I can't think of a toy I'd name my kid after (but perhaps that's because my toys have names like "Tiger Kitty")
  6. I was able to predict a few moments in the story, but there were some genuine surprises
  7. The non-main toys were all excellent comedic relief
  8. I feel like Bonnie and Blaze had way more creative play than I did as a kid (not that I didn't have fun, creative times, but I don't think I constructed like a royal ball where there are spies, one of whom turns out to be the bomb they're trying to find and diffuse)
  9. While the animation style has certainly changed and evolved since the first movie, I feel like it has still kept up the spirit of the original and as someone who is old enough to remember seeing all of the movies, this consistency warms my heart
  10. I will say I didn't cry during the movie, but some of my friends I saw it with did and that says a lot (because, to be fair, I rarely cry during movies)
  11. The movie made me, as always, examine my relationship with my toys and, now, with my devices
  12. I, personally, think the legion of Buzzes should've gone back to the donation truck rather than descending upon a school playground. This is because, while that scene was very funny, I do think ultimately most of the parents would make their kids give up the drone toy that can give off WiFi that arrived en masse by mysterious means. So, if the toys went with the donation truck, perhaps they could've ended up with kids who don't have many (if any) toys
  13. Jessie getting closer with her first kid was so sweet
  14. I will happily keep watching this series as long as they keep extending it
  15. Perhaps future Toy Story movies will touch on nostalgia, the praise of vintage, and/or passing toys down through generations

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
