Hello Bluesky! This is Katariina. I am:

- music researcher focusing on music and fear: especially interested in young people's subjective experiences
- musician and doing children's theatre
- lover of cats, horror and tea
- metalhead, I guess, but not picky about my music genres

Paitsi se alkuperäinen on hyvä ja tuo uusi versio ei oikeen oo. Mutta samoilla jutuilla ratsasteltiin toki.

HC-Beetlejuice- ja Burton-fanina kävin kahtelemassa uuden Beetlejuicen elokuvissa vuosi sitten. Olin kyllä sangen pettynyt, se oli armotonta sekoilua ja teoriassa ihan viihdyttävä, mutta sitten.... plääh.

[To be read in Cockney] I watched The Conjuring 2. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Enjoyed the sound, startled once/twice.

Quoting What Katy Reviewed Next: "Watch this film if you like listening to non-English people attempt to do a semi-Cockney accent and failing miserably."

Sunnuntaiahistus. Polkasin metsään. Ei löytynyt yhen yhtä sientä, mutta ahistaa ehkä 24% vähemmän. Uskalsin ajaa vähän polkuja, meinasin lentää naamalleni. Korppi raakkui hienosti.

Mun yks vanha kaveri paljastui aikanaan persuksi. Aluksi naiivisti aattelin, että poliittiset mielipide-erot ei haittaa. Sit se alkoikin jakaa niin rasistista paskaa, että siitä tuli sitten entinen kaveri kertaheitolla. Nykyään ajattelen, että poliittiset mielipide-erot vähän kyllä haittaa juu.

Exorcist: The Beginning was.. well, very Renny Harlin. Colonialism, nazis, action-man priest. At some point I wanted to stop watching, but finished the film anyway.

I guess I'll see _that other prequel_, Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist, next, so I can compare.

🦇Spooky season🦇 is officially here. I'm starting to devour it one horror movie at a time. Good, bad, utterly shite, I don't care, as long as it's spooky.

Flick of the day: Exorcist - The beginning.

Local padel court by night. It's giving Backrooms vibes.

A side view from a panel court by night. Blue court with black and white padel net in the middle. Around the court black mesh fences. White pole arches create a tunnel-like atmosphere. Orange lights.

Two candles. In the front a peach coloured salt rock candle holder, behind that, a light green candle. Very dimly visible small duck stuffed animal in the back. Otherwise it's dark.

Tietysti koska kana meni tien yli, halusi päästä toiselle puolelle. 🤯 Käy täysin järkeen.

*it's scary. Damn autocorrect ruins my grammar.

Katariina @spooky-kat.bsky.social · 24d

Happy to hear that too! And I can relate to that as well. 🤩

I'm very much into MTB lately. Its scary and I'm scared. I'm not very good at it yet, starting with easy trails. It makes me happy and I get to be in a forest. 🌲🚵‍♀️

Me: a smiling woman with red braided hair, glasses, black jumper and a blue bicycle helmet, on the front, a blue-yellow coloured mountain bike in a forest on the back of the picture.

Biking point of view. The front of a mountain bike and a forest path ahead. Pines and other trees around the path.
