Prince's passing + lemonade + other ramblings

 

I'll just post a few updates of things that have been going on. 

• I'm sure everyone has heard about the passing of Prince last week.  I was really shocked, as I had no idea he was sick.  I think it took most people by surprise.  I read a few posts from celebrities talking about it, and I'm glad that he was respected throughout the music world.  I grew up on his music.  My dad loves Prince, and listens to him all the time.  His music was always playing around our household so I think his death really did affect me more than Bowie's.  I do love both musicians, but I guess growing up on his music it's just weird that he's not around anymore.

• I've been having issues with my right hand lately (the hand that mom accidentally slammed in the front door.)  Yesterday was the first day that it didn't really hurt, or bother me.  I might have to get it checked out, but I'm not a fan of going to the doctor.  It feels a lot better today than it has in a while. 

• I'm currently obsessed with the anime "Haikyuu!!".  The characters are hilarious especially Ryunosuke Tanaka, and the main character Shoyo Hinata.  I actually ordered a figure of Tobio Kageyama recently, and I can't wait to get it.  

• I watched that Beyonce "Lemonade" video yesterday, and I don't know what to think of it to be honest.  Jay-Z seems like a POS, and she should probably divorce him, but I doubt she will.  I downloaded the album this morning so I still have to give the music a listen.  I like to take in albums with good headphones, and audio to get a feel for the music.  

• After revisiting the video maybe the person on facebook meant southern gothic?  If so then I take back what I said.  I can see how someone would see it like that.  It does have that visual aesthetic going on.  

• I watched the new "X-Men Apocalypse" trailer, and it actually makes me want to see the film.  I wasn't too keen on the earlier trailers, but this one is pretty good.  As an avid X-Men fan I've often times ended up biting the bullet and going to see the films despite not being sold on many of the plots in the last few X-Men Films.  So that means I'll probably go see this one.  

• My friend and I are making plans to go to A-kon this year cause of my new found love of collecting anime figures, among other things.  I also just realized I requested the wrong day to be off work so I'm going to have to go to my supervisor and try to change the date *sigh*.
