my media log <3

My trackers for what I'm watching, playing, reading, and listening to. Pretty much a list of what I'm enjoying. Ratings reflect how much I enjoyed something.

I'm not much of a critic, but if I've got thoughts, I'll share them!

movies I've seen

Note: I rarely watch a movie of my own accord, AKA people have to drag me out to the theatre or pop something on for me to watch a movie. I don't dislike film, it's just not my preferred medium, I suppose. Keep this context in mind when reading my "reviews."

Black Bag (2025)

x
I like a good spy-themed "who dunnit" movie, and this movie doesn't disappoint there. There's a decent mix of suspense, drama, and comedy, which I enjoyed. I did feel like it was missing some bigger moment or climax; I can't put my finger on why I didn't enjoy this as much as I wanted to.

Genre: Suspense / Drama
Most enjoyed: Marisa Abela's performance. I've not seen her in anything before, and I'd love to see more of her!

Personal rating: x

One of Them Days (2025)

x
I didn't exactly feel like the target audience for this, but I still had a good time! It might just be because I'm a fan of Keke Palmer's work. SZA gave a great performance, I think she did well for her first movie role. There's something that felt good about watching a movie that I could tell was made for young black women. More than that, though, it wasn't boring at all and I can see myself rewatching this.

Genre: Comedy
Most enjoyed: The soundtrack

Personal rating: x

NMIXX(엔믹스) “KNOW ABOUT ME” M/V

Such a visually satisfying MV! I'm also in love with the song (you'll see it featured in my medialog song recs too).

🦴 EYEWITNESS 🦴 Utopian Virtual - Vaporwave - New Age Music Mix

I really enjoy vaporwave mixes, and Deep Sea Current on Youtube makes some of the best themed mixes out there. Their utopian virtual mixes are probably my favorites.

Why Everybody Hates Eric Adams

I knew Eric Adams from the bits and pieces I'd heard about them through the internet grapevine, but I had no idea his time as mayor has been so diabolical. I recommend this video (as well as her subsequent video on the topic here and clips from her interview with the very man on the Breakfast Club here) to understand why New Yorkers hate this mayor with so much fervor.

games I've played

I don't have much time for video games these days. *sigh*

HOT (2025)

x

No skips. I also really enjoyed "Come Over" as an English single, it's got a jazzy feel that I don't usually hear in kpop, especially as a B-side feature.

Artist: LE SSERAFIM
Genre/Sound: k-pop
Favorite Track: Ash

My Rating: x

COLD (2025)

x

I enjoyed the MV for “Cold” more than I enjoy the actual song; the storyline pulled through the video is much darker than I thought than I expected from this group, which was a pleasant surprise and displayed their ability to make more than tiktok-esque bops. This isn't shade towards the group, their debut single “MACARONI CHEESE” is on my playlist and I thoroughly enjoy a song I can dance to. It's simply nice to see depth to a young group's catalog.

One thing that'll always frustrate me is a kpop 7-track, 20-minute EP where a third of the tracks are interludes and another third is just the same song mixed a bit differently. I have to get used to framing kpop releases as mini-albums that heavily center around a single.

This release isn't really for me.

Artist: Young Posse
Genre/Sound: k-pop
Favorite Track: Blue Dot

My Rating: x

Modal Soul (2005)

*relisten

x

One of my favorite lofi hip-hop albums. If you love the genre, Nujabes is a no-brainer, but I love this album so much that I use it as my alarm/morning soundtrack.

Artist: Nujabes
Genre/Sound: lofi hip-hop
Favorite Track: flowers

My Rating: x

King of the Mischievous South (2024)

x

The production is amazing on this album, I like listening to this whenever I feel like being a nuisance on the streets while I'm driving. He talks a lot about his current lifestyle (which I can't relate to on any level), but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the beats.

Artist: Denzel Curry
Genre/Sound: hip-hop/rap
Favorite Track: HOODLUMZ feat. PlayThatBoiZay & A$AP Rocky

My Rating: x

books I've read

I had a bad habit of collecting books but never getting to them. I don't expect this to change any time soon, to be so honest.
