“romance” by elaine kahn
one more thing
Posted: November 11th, 2021 | No Comments »i blew off school last night, too zonked by city council, and watched married to the mob, inspired by johnny, in honor of dean stockwell. i originally saw this movie when i was 14 and loved it, i think it was on my favorite movie list for as long as i kept that list going, but it’s surprising to watch now and see just how sweet it is. it’s just gentle. like a gentle cartoon comic. and michelle pfeiffer is so luminous in it. thumbs up. ps i’m sorry but it KIND OF makes me want to watch jonathan demme’s last movie, rikki and the flash

this movie is legit GOOD, josh brolin is so excellent and the story is tender and just trust me that it’s background viewing of the highest order (a true compliment).
what is fun?
Posted: November 3rd, 2021 | No Comments »what is fun anymore? does this sound like a NY Mag essay? i went out with an old pal last night, but it was just like this: 😑 x 10, tbh. i’m glad i went but also no feelings of pleasure exactly. i did have fun watching free guy with ross the other weekend, but the time with the old pal was just…flat. but most everything is like that. is it covid, is it depression, is it loneliness, is it moi.

chekhov DOES get it

Chekhov gets it
“I am of the opinion that real happiness is impossible without idleness. My ideal is to be idle and love a plump young girl. My most intense pleasure is to walk or sit doing nothing; my favorite occupation is picking useless stuff (leaves, straw and so on) and doing useless things.”
this is exactly it
Posted: October 28th, 2021 | No Comments »“Showing up every day and having integrity about the way you live your life: that’s really the magic, because the ending and the beginning and the expectation and the outcome—all that stuff is nonsense. It really is. I know so many people who work really hard and don’t get those things. If you show up every day, keep your word, be somebody who has dignity in the way you comport yourself, that’s quite astonishing.”
Min Jin Lee in the BELIEVER
