It's Monday, start of the Holy Week. It's quite slow as a lot has already started their vacation leaves. I am working until Wednesday as I have filed my leaves during the 3rd week of April, my birthday week. Family is scheduled for a Vietnam trip.
My Saturday and Sunday was productive as I was able to finish off cleaning most of my adopted dolls from the past weeks. Approximately about 15 dolls, combination of big and small dolls. As of this writing, I left them at the windowsill to air dry.
It's an accomplishment really, as I have been wanting to clean them before letting them join my other dolls.
Since they are second hands, I have to be sure as most of them weren't from original owners. One doll actually had a stain on the shoulder, which seemed to me like a blood stain. Some, especially dolls that are semi-plush had mixed stains, which I am thinking might be pee from the kid who originally owned them.
My boyfriend was actually kinda creeped out when I told him that I've been buying second-hand dolls. He supports me with my doll hobby, but those are for new ones. He's not too informed yet with my current addiction to preloved ones.
Anyway, the highlight of my weekend was my American Girl doll, whom I have been wanting to somehow restore for the longest time. She's been in the attic until yesterday.
So here are her photos. I let her wear Dora's Birthday fashion, which fit her perfectly!

ReplyDeleteThe premise is pure monster horror - the cataclysm after these monsters have invaded is on a global scale, it's a high-concept monster movie works by simply narrowing it's focus...survival. 365movies
ReplyDeleteAnd just as the human characters (what about the monsters? We'll get to them) try to muffle out the sound by shuffling sand along the floor and making their own home quiet enough to walk around, director Krasinski (who also co-stars and writes) with writers Bryan Woods and Scott Beck keep a tight-knit, all-frills locked specifically on tension that just keeps on building up and up until the ladder just can't be seen any more.
Krasinski however isn't afraid to assume you already know an outcome by opening the film on the 90th day of the invasion clearly avoiding the manic-day-one tactic (where we can probably guess a lot of bad stuff happened), no, he approaches the subject with experienced characters. Paths have been set with sand, cars have been abandoned, and his house has been completely sound proofed, with carpets, sand set like stepping stones and the family only communicates by sign language. 365movies
Krasinski plays a competent, intelligent, desperate family man who tries to keep things together in his little kingdom (an abandoned farm house) instantly knowing that even the most negligible dropped clanger will attract terrifying toothsome, long-armed creatures with avocado -shaped skulls which are entirely composed by inner-ear architecture and teeth morphing their heads to hear even the slightest of sounds.
Are they aliens? Are they vampires? Or possibly alien vampires (if you want to go creepy)? If indeed the characters had abstract conversations, maybe they'd wonder what they're being hunted by but instead they can only express the barest essential dialogue in order to survive as long as possible. While he pays off as the caring rather rugged survivalist keeping a slight fire ready for a beacon signifying survival, meanwhile his pregnant wife (Emily Blunt) is a rather obvious symbolism of hope for the future she also tries her hardest to keep the rest of her family in check. watch Avengers Infinity War online
There's a slight everyday quality to this family that happily allows for you to invest more so in their journey for survival. Though their vulnerability is heightened just that little bit more and also enriched at the fact that there's a child on the way (a newborn that doesn't quite understand the importance of staying quiet) and what they must do in the situation when Blunt is just about to have it.
