When I get bad luck, it wants to save up so that it can be REAL bad. That's why life decided that the best time for me to catch a cold is during the busiest time of the holiday season when I need to do a lot of work and prepare gifts for Christmas. It won't really stop me from doing what I need to do, but this certainly is adding a lot more problems that I don't need! Regardless, I was still able to get some work done, so there's my week outside of the cold.

- Released my review of Clone High: I've been hearing so much about it, especially with its rise of popularity thanks to Lord & Miller's involvement, so I guess it was only a matter of time that I get to see it for myself. While I wouldn't say this is a masterpiece of television, this is still a really funny show. It took a few missteps in the first episode to get through, but then after episode 3 or 4, that's when it gets good and fun. Honestly, considering that this show is almost 20 years old now, it'll be hard to imagine how they'll revive the series with the upcoming reboot/2nd season, but while I'm not completely hyped up for it to come back (you know how sometimes, reboots can be a case of "Be careful what you wish for"), I'll wait and see how the clones will return. But with my experience with the original show. It was pretty fun and now I got all the context that I need to fully know the JFK memes. 

- Released my review of Back to the Outback: I wasn't expecting anything special out of this, but whatever it is, I got what I was expecting. It's mostly your run-of-the-mill kids movie with an Australian theme. Won't be among my worst list, but I don't think I'll have much memory about this either. I'll give it that there are some good qualities to it like I did appreciate the animation and the voice acting is pretty solid, but I could tell that this movie is just not for me. It really is meant for children and aimed mostly just for them. That's not a bad thing of course, and I'm sure some kids will enjoy this one, but it's more of a case where, as an adult viewer myself, it's not for me and it doesn't want to be for me. Well, I guess for reviewing sake, it's one job done and moving on to the next.

- Worked on the next AniMat's Classic Reviews: As I was working on the other projects I was also taking the time to advance on the next ACR. For now, I did all I can do with it, but that's only part of the job done. I did my job where I put my input on the movie and edit it all together, but now I gotta wait on the other guy I'm collabing with in order to have his voiceovers of what he thinks and then I'll fully have this review ready. But I didn't work fully on it until I did all I could do with it. It was just advancing it bit by bit and a few days at a time while I was doing other things during the day like other projects or going out holiday shopping. But at least I can say that I got started on the 2022 videos, so that'll be exciting.

- Currently working on my review of Rumble: So this was my biggest challenge of the week. I got to simultaneously get through a cold while making a review for next week. Honestly, I did not have high hopes for this one. As cool as the concept of Monster Wrestling sounds, the trailers I've seen hint out that this will be the same generic underdog sports movies like we've seen dozens of times before. That and the fact that Paramount gave up on giving this a big screen release and just throw it on Paramount+ is never a good sign. Maybe it can find a way to prove me wrong, but I'm not going to be expecting anything spectacular either. However, I do hope that my sickness doesn't affect my perspective of the film and I can still be able to fully analyze it as well as I can do when I'm healthy. 

So that was my tough week of trying to work while being sick. It really sucks dealing with this, especially during this time, but I'll do the best I can to at least have myself back to normal in time for Christmas. Besides, I don't want this feeling stuck with me and be dependent on Kleenex boxes during the merriest day of the year. So, until next time...

See ya...a...AAAA CHOO!!!...later dudes...
