Bottoms- indie film #3 in Indie Film 2024
If you love dark comedy and satire, please watch this! I wouldn’t say it is like Heathers, but it has that over-the-top quality about it. This movie is a little like Barbie in that it is communic...

Barbie (indie film #9) in Indie Film 2023
I know it’s not an indie film, but I’ve been watching Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig movies for years. I purposefully didn’t really know anything about this movie before I went into it and I foun...
Theater Camp (indie film #8) in Indie Film 2023
In the vein of Christopher Guest (this is Spinal Tap, a mighty wind, etc.), theater camp is a delightful comedy for all of us drama freaks.

Here I am, trying out a semi-regular post. I think i’ve been feeling the wellbutrin. My sleep is heavier. I feel a little more centered. Today I have a headache, all day. Also, i feel sick, so th...
wellbutrin in Random Thoughts
I’m trying my first pharmacological intervention. Last night I took my first (low) dose. The dr is starting my off slowly. It’s an anx/dep med but mostly i am using it for my ADD-like symptoms. T...
fear, excuses, and truth in Random Thoughts
I have so much to say and have not been making the time to write (which is one of the most therapeutic activities). I will try, though. Recently little river and i went to a hippie gathering, ma...
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris- indie film #7 in Indie Film 2023
I’d forgotten that I watched this delightful movie a month or so ago. I am not actually sure if it is an independent film. Either way, it made me happy and it will do the same for you :)
Tar- indie film #6 in Indie Film 2023
I finally caught up with Tar- and WOW that ending was intense. I had to read a little about people’s perspectives to get a idea of what (perhaps) was going on. Here is the trailer-
Past Lives- indie film #5 in Indie Film 2023
this solidifies that i love quiet movies. i love and have a quiet soul.
for the sake of in Random Thoughts
Working part time has been great, despite the halved wage. Luckily I had some savings to booster this year. By the time one year has passed, I will have survived off 45K plus (mostly likely) all ...
The Quiet Girl (indie film #4) in Indie Film 2023
I loved this so much that I stayed home from work to finish it (i work half day pm’s on Mondays). I think its out in theaters right now, I saw it on Amazon video.
White Noise (indie film #3) in Indie Film 2023
I am definitely caught up on indie films now! The director of this movie, Noah Baumbach, also directed Marriage Story (up for Oscars a few years ago). I tend to like his movies, but they are a c...
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (indie film #2) in Indie Film 2023
So far I have been able to keep up with watching one indie film per month. Streaming and only working part time really helps. For February, I watched Pinnocchio.... in parts and pieces unfortunat...
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (indie film #1) in Indie Film 2023
A film from 2022, but I am not to worried about that. I will be catching up with indie films I’ve missed as well as trying to see new ones. A heart warming 90 minute film! If you want an uplift, ...

RAIN in Random Thoughts
Oh acronyms, how do you feel about dark mornings at 6am. Have you a preference for when your helpful light shines? Ever since coming back from Mexico Ive been going to sleep early (8pm hour) and ...
back to the foundations in Random Thoughts
I am enjoying time to myself. Though, as part of the anxiety, I keep thinking about what i could or should be doing. So many things in the house beyond the cleaning, but cleaning does take most o...
Anxiety in Random Thoughts
It’s been so long since I have written, I might not even know how to write. Funny to think that I have been doing this online journal thing since opendiary and livejournal. The last two years ha...
After Yang (indie film #3) in Independent Film 2022
Kogonada made my favorite film of 2016 or 2017, Columbus. Now he has created this divide piece, After Yang. It toughed my heart. I love it’s slow meditation and soundtrack. This is definitely a ...
The Power of the Dog (indie film #10) in Independent Film 2021
One of the best films of 2021. I need to re watch it.
