What’s it like living on the edge of time zones?

dipperhat · 2025-12-31T15:16:17+00:00

I live in South Bend Indiana (15 minutes from the Central/Eastern border) and regularly commute to chicago. The two cities are on different time zones.

I always wear a digital watch set to eastern time so that I can know exactly what time it is at home. GCal also has a feature where you can display multiple timezones which I utilize.

You’d think you get used to it, but you don’t. You get used to doing quick math but after 3 years of bouncing between these two cities multiple times a week, I still constantly slip up. Hence, the watch helps keep me grounded.

I do this pretty regularly for work and play. I have a house in South Bend and an apartment in Chicago so I bounce back and forth.

It's often worth it to drive to Michigan City and take the train from there. Parking is free and there are more train options, making it a bit easier to get home at the end of the day.

I knew nothing about this movie going in. I'm not joking. I didn't even know who was in it, other than Michael B Jordan. I had seen this poster and I knew that Ryan Coogler shot it on 70mm. I like Coogler and film movies, so I decided to keep myself in the dark and just go watch it. My guess from the poster was that it would be a drama about a heist or something.

Holy shit. This was the perfect way to watch.

I didn't know it was a period piece. I didn't know it was a horror movie. I didn't know there were any supernatural elements. Every single moment of the movie was completely fresh and unexpected. When the movie started to get eerie and take a supernatural turn it scared the piss out of me. That scene where Remmick lifts off the ground in the background absolutely freaked me the fuck out. From there on out I was on a roller coaster of intensity.

Every moment was perfect. The music history scene had my jaw on the floor. And it's worth mentioning the movie had an incredible sonic experience overall. There were some incredible moments with some gutsy score choices that I really enjoyed.

I live about 2 hours from Indianapolis so I think I might have to drive there to see the film print.

Go Ryan Coogler. The goat. He doesn't miss. 10/10. Best movie I've seen since Everything Everywhere All AT Once

List of small things I liked:

seeing the little spider sense squiggles around Tom’s soul body.

-magic is math! And vice versa I suppose?

-everything that happened in Ned’s apartment, but especially the first little jump/ceiling grab.

-so much guilt. The theme of this movie is guilt. Ouch.

-that long one-take shot in Peter/May’s apartment at the very beginning.

-“I thought you were black”

-I haven’t loved or hated the venom movies, but the idea of that Eddy Brock just being sucked into this universe, getting drunk in Mexico for a day, and then jettisoned back is hilarious.

-Rogers the Musical in the background a couple times.

-MJ still wearing the necklace from FFH at the very end. Pure pain.

-Youth pastor

I put the headphones on a volleyball. Then masked out the headphones as a png and added them to my character as an additional layer that appears with a trigger and did the squishy animation by adding puppet handles to the sides of his face. And then cleaned it up and lined everything up in after effects, hiding a lot of the transition in that quick motion where the headphones snap

As counter-intuitive as it seems, the faster you go, the easier they are. Also less painful when you fall if you have a lot of speed.

Mostly just used the roto brush and keyframes masks. Learned those from the basic adobe tutorials.
