I’ve noticed that using whey protein makes me a bit prone for breakouts, are there any out there I could use instead? Or protein shakes that aren’t super processed? I’d love to hit my goals because I’m afraid I’m not eating enough protein.
A review/commentary of my twin peaks journey. I just finished season 2 and I apologize once again if this type of post appears a lot. And I also apologize if how i interpreted it feels shallow, I’m not very good at explaining how I feel about things, aside from wow cool, wow lame haha.
I’m trying hard to my wrap my head around episode 22 of season 2.
I feel like first I should give my feelings to each of the characters. For one I hated Nadine and James and couldn’t stand their storylines, I just felt they were wasting time and they weren’t very interesting. BUT that one clip of her launching Mike in to the air absolutely cooked me.
Ben confuses me because I genuinely can’t tell if he changed his mind around to becoming good for the benefit of everyone, it appeals to the environmental scientist in me. But I can’t let the fact that he slept with Laura Palmer go unnoticed, it irks me the hell out.
Catherine’s whole side plot with Josie was a little fun, I thought it was like a mini movie and I enjoyed seeing Harry’s reaction to the whole thing, though I don’t particularly care for Josie.
Everything else was really good in my opinion, I liked every character for what they did, and every story felt intertwined with how they interacted with each other, though I still can’t get a proper opinion on Jacoby.
This is unimportant but I love Lucy.
Harry is my second favorite character, with Hawk following close. The fact that he waited for cooper all that time, and valiantly accepted that Cooper must go in alone made me appreciate him a lot more, I can’t wait to see him again.
To get in to the meat of the season: Windom Earle. What a fantastic fucking character, he’s already been mentioned a few times earlier in the season, and the first thing he does as he shows up? Goes in to a sheriff’s police department building and drops a dead body undetected like nothing as well as taking an already deranged villain from the previous season, and makes him his servant. What an introduction, his lines, his mannerisms, and the way he moved throughout the show, three steps ahead of Cooper, is just excellent to me. His vendetta against Cooper, and his desperate search for the black lodge was really interesting. If my work partner started sleeping with my wife I think I’d do the same, consulting with the black arts to get revenge. I also found it funny how Bob just bullies him once he gets there, guess he got too close to the fire with his demands and trying to use the black lodge to his advantage? Is what I got from it.
By episode 22 I was very confused, I felt like the “waiting room”/black lodge was just fucking with Cooper the entire time, and with the viewer, I love the “wrong way” scene. But I’m very sad I didn’t get to see the white horse among the spirits that showed up. My question is to who was possessing Laura’s mom when she met up with the major at the diner? I feel like I might’ve missed it. I also liked the transitions they used for the episode, just spamming the hell out of special effects.
One thing of note is that the other “Laura” saying “meanwhile” in a sarcastic, almost teasing kind of manner, it made me laugh but I was immediately quieted when she started tweaking the fuck out, so I wonder if this will come in to play later somehow.
But any questions I have shall remain unanswered till I’ve finished everything to avoid spoilers, this must be how people felt waiting 25 years for season 3.
This season as a whole stressed me out though, made me feel lots of things, like how was Cooper going to figure out the location of the black lodge, as well as a way to predict and stop Windom Earle, but the way all the puzzle pieces that were laid out on previous episodes like the log lady with her husbands jar, the note, Ronette (who I thought was just forgotten about) all coming together in the final episode was brilliant in my opinion, I was going to say it felt cliche but maybe twin peaks started it all.
My favorite character is still Cooper, I’ve started to appreciate the little things ever since I started watching this show, I have a bit of autism so I tend to copy the things I see in shows and movies but it makes me feel good to follow his mannerisms, as cringe as that sounds, to not plan on it, but to treat myself everyday. I’ve also started to develop a love for coffee and pie, as well as journaling how I feel and what I do for the day, it makes me feel a little better about being me.
I am planning on driving to Washington state in a few weeks, I want to see the national parks but I’m also interested in going to the parts where twin peaks was filmed, specifically that diner I have to see it and try it for myself!
I loved this season though, I give it a 9.2/10, I especially loved that strong start with Bob getting outsmarted, and Leland, presumably, forgiven by Laura? made me a bit emotional. The drop in quality that people talked about was definitely there throughout the mid season, but I feel like it adds to the charm, stretching out the weirdness of twin peaks, it all is worth it at the end. I love this show, twin peaks is both wonderful and strange.
I’m sorry if there wasn’t anything of importance or higher level of thinking shown in this review I just really liked the show and wanted to get my thoughts out.
Season 3 is titled the return so I can guess what happens then, I’ve accidentally spoiled myself by getting a recommended video of a character named “Woodsman” but it seems minor so I can’t wait to get in to it, but first Fire Walk With Me, but I’m not sure if I should review that as well.
There’s something deeply wrong with me, I’m not going to say what exactly but I get these impulses, I get these thoughts, sometimes I try to talk myself out of them but end up doing them anyway. For the past few years I’ve been trying to fake a regular person and I’ve completely stopped trying to be normal these past months, I don’t mean to hurt anybody, but I can’t help but be blunt or honest about anything.
I’ve been diagnosed with depression and BPD, I’ve been tested for adhd but the psychiatrist said I didn’t have it yet I can’t seem to focus at all during school or when I’m studying, I play a game for 2 hours and turn it off, I watch a movie or a show and can’t get myself to watch it fully without breaks, I haven’t always been this way but as a kid I do remember zoning out a lot, doing stupid shit to get the kids around me to laugh and accept me in to them, lots of impulsive things to appear like them. I’d like to think myself as someone smart and rational yet I do these things as soon as they pop in to my head.
I like routines, simple routines until I become bored or sad and then the routines are too much for me and I slack off and feel like it isn’t worth it.
These problems have costed me a job, a relationship, almost my college education.
I can’t seem to make myself make friends, talk to people the way I see others do, I feel like I’m uncomfortable to be around and I feel terrible about it.
And I know I can do it, that I can be normal, but my thoughts are always in my way, my thinking is always changing, and it’s like I’m always conversing with myself, even when surrounded I’m isolated, I can’t seem to pinpoint what is wrong with me, I’ve taken multiple personality tests, multiple psychological tests online and yet they all appear different before me.
When I look in the mirror I don’t like the person in there, I feel like he’s staring in to my soul and I can’t hold eye contact because I don’t recognize the skin I’m wearing and it terrifies me, I feel like I can’t comprehend that it’s me.
I know that I am human, I know that I can be better, but my head is killing me I can’t understand.
I’m so sorry if this doesn’t make sense at all, I’m not looking for kind words, or anything, I think I just wanted to get this out.
Hello I live in the east coast in VA and would love to go visit the national parks along the way to the west coast. I’ve been fighting in my head whether or not to take my 2018 Mazda 3 GT with 74k miles or to get a rental car but that might cost more since I’m still under 25. I was wondering if you guys ever made the trip from the east to the west? Or maybe somewhere along the middle? Of course there are other locations along the way I want to stop at so I don’t get fatigued, but if any of you guys have any helpful tips or advice that’d be really appreciated.
A part of me says YOLO and just do it but I still want to be cautious.
I’ll just cut to the chase, why… do you guys like this game so much? Ever since I was a kid I would watch gameplay and multiple discussion videos of this game and be like wow this must be the best game ever made the way people talk about it. Fast forward to me grown up and having money to try it out and my thoughts are just… ok? Like I really don’t think this game is anything special, part 1 was cool and I think the gameplay was pretty good, but I didn’t really like Ellie or Joel that much, I liked Tommy and in part 2 it made me like him even more, but overall the characters just weren’t memorable or likable for me. Part 2 was also very bland generic revenge story, I don’t know if that’s good criticism but it’s my opinion, I was hoping I could get it changed because when I finished the game I just thought, wait thats it? she just lets her go? after all of that? after killing a pregnant woman? Bodies upon bodies of soldiers? Maybe I missed something critical in the message of the game? To end cycles of revenge but I feel like we’ve seen that in numerous games or stories before, of course not everything has to be super unique and I understand the lev connection but it just felt so cheap to me. I’ve played games released on the same year like ghost of Tsushima and I’ve always wondered how it lost to TLOU part 2 when GoT and part 1 are just way better in terms of plot and characters. I don’t know, these are my thoughts I was hoping I could get some insight, I am sorry if I offended any of you anyhow. Thank you. Over all I give part 1 a 8.5/10 and part 2 a 6/10.
I’m a bit high but were these goats always here???
Just wow… what an exceptional show, from the shots, the acting, the familiar yet strange town it’s all so well made. The drama of it actually sort of reminds me of old Hispanic telenovelas my parents would watch when I was a kid.
I love cooper he’s definitely my favorite character, the way he’s presented as someone who truly enjoys what he does and Laura man, such an intriguing character, and so compelling the way the entire town revolves around her, and how she’s connected at every corner. Also is it manly to admit that I cried upon seeing her at the start of the pilot, when those pianos keys first hit, I actually cried a couple times throughout the first episode, like full on tears rolling down my face, emotions I didn’t know I could feel watching a show, last time I cried watching something was finishing Mary’s letter in silent hill 2.
This show is just beautiful, truly something special.
I do understand that season 2 drops in quality or so the reviewers say but I’m still high in hopes to see what’s next, I have spoiled a bit of myself by searching up discussions about certain thing’s but man this show is still pulling shit from under my feet, it’s so good that my brain erased whatever I read.
Sorry if there’s a million other posts like this I just had to get it out somehow. Twin peaks, you’re all right.
Hello I’ve reached a sort of breaking point where I can’t stand to have any facial hair at all on my face I think I look alien and I try to shave every 2-5 days because of it. Problem is I always shave down to my skin and idk if it’s the blade but it just kinda leaves my skin in a damaged state with very little tiny hairs left that I look odd. I use a cheap handle from cvs and some razors that I bought from Walmart the cheap ones but I forgot their brand. If there is any recommendation for razors I could use every 2-4 days with maybe a better reputation or results I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.
