You can call me Arrow or aroceu, whatever your heart desires. I write stories and code, I make graphics and designs, I talk about myself a lot, and I prefer lists in threes but break that preference quite often.

trailer_spot

The Invite    HD720p 25MB
Chamber dramedy about Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde) whose marriage is on thin ice, and tonight might be when it all falls apart. Unfortunately, their upstairs neighbors (Edward Norton, Penélope Cruz) are about to arrive for dinner, and everything that can go wrong goes worse. Also directed by Wilde (Booksmart, Don't Worry Darling).
This is the US version of the Spanish film Sentimental/The People Upstairs that by now has been adapted about a half a dozen times. Looks funny and Sundance reviews are very favourable.

In the Grey    HD720p 30MB
Trailer for the latest action thriller written and directed by Guy Ritchie(Snatch., The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Swept Away). It follows a covert team of elite operatives (Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza González) who live in the global shadows, as comfortable wielding power and influence as they are automatic weapons and high explosives. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, the team is sent to steal it back on what would be for anyone else a suicide mission. Kristofer Hivju, Fisher Stevens and Rosamund Pike are also part of the cast.
IMDb informs me that filming already took place in 2023. Hopefully not all snappy bits of dialogue are already shown in the trailer.

Backrooms    HD720p 25MB
Horror mystery in which a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom. Cast members include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass and Lukita Maxwell.
Certainly an intriguing trailer, especially for genre fans. An earlier teaser: HD720p 7MB.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping    HD720p 35MB
Full trailer for the latest franchise extension, again directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Constantine, I Am Legend), to be in theatres in November. It will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. Cast members include Joseph Zada, Elle Fanning, Ralph Fiennes, Jesse Plemons, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Mckenna Grace, Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, Whitney Peak and Kelvin Harrison Jr.

The Devil Wears Prada 2   HD720p 27MB
A second trailer for the sequel. It follows Miranda Priestly's (Meryl Streep) struggle against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement. Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci also return. Among the new cast additions are Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux and Lucy Liu. Again directed by David Frankel (Collateral Beauty, Hope Springs, Marley & Me).

what a fuckass busy monday. i do have to say, why is migrating microSD data from one SD card to another so dogshit LOL... the old microSD card that was in my dad's android tablet just would NOT transfer ANYTHING (almost). even the image/clone i made of it had some files missing (i think like 20 pics? and a couple folders?) ... shit was so weak it didnt even have the capacity to transfer some single files and disconnected every time it got choked on a transfer LOL ... thankfully after pulling my hair out (and having to reinstall the apps that werent getting recognized off the microSD) it all worked out well and my dad has double the space and a microSD card that doesn't shit itself transferring stuff

(at least i got some new tools out of it, which is an disk image cloner and a really cool transfer helper)

i also found a cool backup helper script from the same person who made the neocities gallery template im going to be using for my new site template, and i wanna set that up ... problem is i just need to organize my external hard drive folder structure, figure out what files are garbage and i dont need backed up within folders

aside from that ... late dinner due to moving to another phone/internet company (its a lot of savings, but god damn it pushed dinner late by an hour and im sapped from hunger), baggage organizing for vacation this weekend, showering and ... yea

i got minecraft on my switch as a treat for myself. i wish it worked on the 3ds but that was like among the very few new 3ds exclusive games and i had the XL original 3ds

Hello on Monday! How's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)

- Excellent!
- Terrible
- Somewhere in between
- Nothing doing

How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?

- None
- 30 minutes or less
- 30-60 minutes
- 60-90 minutes
- More than 90 minutes

In five words or less, how do you feel about that?

Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

- I thought about my fic once or twice
- I wrote
- I did some planning and/or outlining
- I did research and/or canon review
- I edited
- I've sent my fic off to my beta
- I posted today!
- I'm taking a break
- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and that means a fresh start. Maybe you had a great writing week last week, or maybe last week wasn't the greatest for getting writing things done -- what kind of goals do you have for keeping up your momentum or starting off fresh this week?

weird title but it’s just so odd thinking when i look at my follower count on neocities im like … almost 430 people are following me (some of which are oomfies from here, hello)

i guess when it comes to a more personal site, i feel more seen than having 430 followers on an art account. i can’t say if that’s a good thing or bad, but it’s that realization that people do read the things i post, which have more slivers of myself and my thoughts than what i put out on my art accounts. like yeah obviously im putting things out for myself and to be seen, but its weird knowing it IS seen

and i guess it’s that realization that i dunno how people will react to those things. i know i shouldn’t worry myself over it, but when i talk so personal, more exposed to my worries, thoughts, experiences … i don’t know what reactions i will get. i don’t want to withdraw myself from what is my own personal site and hole, it’s just so weird to have so many eyes on me

thankfully i’ve not had any bad experiences in the year i’ve had my site, all the guestbook messages i’ve gotten have been sweet people, and people who genuinely engage with my posts and updates (which also ily all here who do comment, i know im spotty with replying)

it’s just those random thoughts where i’m like… idk how people don’t feel terribly exposed knowing so many eyes can be on them, esp when it’s something so much more personal

Current Mood: thoughtful

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

This does have some mentions of politics, though it's more me reflecting on the whole 'keep kids off social media' garbage which to me imo is BS. Just as a warning esp considering how much the world feels like it's a stranglehold, I know sometimes having to think about stuff is Hard

Hello, everyone! Over at

moodthemeinayear, the second Medium Track run has just started.

For those not familiar with the schedule over there, the Medium Mood Track lasts about three months, and covers all of the higher-level moods: The fifteen absolute minimum moods you need for a complete custom mood theme, and the next nineteen that have moods that branch off of them (plus two extra). If you want to create a custom mood theme that's fairly well filled out but don't want to go for the whole 132 graphics, the Medium Track may be for you!

If you want to try and min-max your mood theme, on the other hand, the Minimum Track has also restarted; it lasts six weeks, and takes you through the bare minimum fifteen moods you need for a complete custom mood theme, plus the next three most populous higher-level moods, so you get the most image diversity for the least amount of work 👍

Feeling ambitious and want to go for the whole thing? Jump in now and follow along with the Medium and Maximum Tracks simultaneously! The Medium Track will catch you up to all of the moods the Maximum Track has already covered, while the Maximum Track covers all of the moods that aren't in the Medium Track.

Come check it out, and maybe earn some Dreamwidth points while you're at it!

Current Mood: bouncy

vague title but it's very weird to still feel like i'm recovering from my burnout ... in the sense of leaving things behind undone that i'd get done immediately and with interest (my colour tcg posts i need to update, a friend i still need to reply to, half done games i was immensely into)

some of it is the looming vacation we're heading out on at the end of next week--not that i'm not excited for it, but my brain always has it in the back of my head like 'oh god i still need to pick out the clothes i'm taking. i need to put all of my chargers into one bag and organize them. i still need to find those pants bc i do not remember where i left them.' --> can't focus on other things as easily

some of it is just exhaustion in general and too many things going on: rainy weather, going out yesterday was sapping and i'm still recovering, book woes and worries, easter this weekend (orthodox), brain stretched across my own projects, my contract guy not responding to me yet after a wholeass week, the potential interview i still need to get a scheduled date for, the commission i still need to pay for because the payment processor isn't taking my cards and i need to do a bank-to-bank transfer ...

... actually tbf listing all of those out it kinda makes sense why i feel like i'm just like barely sticking my nose above water. not that i'm explicitly ... not feeling good? im thankfully feeling things and not a muted emotion, but brain just hard to focus on things i wanna do!!!
