Indie Film #6 The Ballad of Wallis Island in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I was lucky to have access to quite a few indie films on our flight back from Europe last August. I am only now able to write (briefly) about them. This was one of my favorite films, along with ...
Indie Film #5- All We Imagine is Light in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I feel lucky to have seen this film. It was on many top 10 lists last year but was not widely accessible. Indian film full of grace and light and longing.
Indie Film #4- The Brutalist in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Goodness, I love architecture with movies. And the score….. I could gush.
Indie Film #3- Mickey 17 in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
It was not weird enough. I felt like this movie was trying to portray a message, but… it didn’t go far enough.

How does my body feel today? Physically- I am sore, leftover from the intensive weeding I did. It put my body back a little in it’s progress. My right hip is sore in a different spot than usual,...
Intention: in Random Thoughts
What is my intention with taking a “half day” meditation at home retreat? First, I want to slow down. Be in the moment. Enjoy life as it is now, not dreaming about the future (more often this t...

I do not know why I feel so much grief about being excessed from my job. I knew it was going to be a possibility at some point. Also, I think it’s hard for me to hold two different emotions at t...
Classic Movie #2- The Umbrellas of Cherbourg in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I know people adore Singing in the Rain, it is considered, by some, to be one of the best movies ever.... But I loved The Umbrellas of Cherbourg..... possibly because I am melancholy at heart....
Classic Movie #1 Singing in the Rain in Indie and Classic Films- 2025
I’ve heard this is one of the best movies of all time. I did enjoy it, but expected more singing and dancing in the beginning! I guess I was thinking of a stage musical where all words are sung....

The Boy and the Heron- Indie Film #6 in Indie Film 2024
You know what i loved about this one? My 4 year old wanted to watch it a second time. Miazaki seems to have gotten weirder in this one, which is great!
Indie Film #5 The Holdovers in Indie Film 2024
I meant to watch this one a long time ago, knowing I would love it. I saw it somewhere over the Atlantic or Greenland as I was enroute from Dublin to Vancouver BR

Fun anime I watched this summer while on an airplane crossing the ocean

Here I am, naming/talking about my parts. Fighter/helper/manager- right shoulder, made me feel happy like i was being taken care of, wanted to punch and push away Manager- takes over in situatio...
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...
