I need to put words to what’s going on. I am thinking perhaps it will be in letter style, but unsent. For now, images. Haunted words, it seems You whispered to me, so close as we lay in bed, “We ...

This was a wonderful film: The poster said something like “Casablanca with a Kafka twist”

I am putting this in as indie film #2 because i can’t remember the first one i saw… wait, i remember! It was The Favorite! Ok, that’s up next. Minding the Gap was one of my favorite film podcaste...

In 2018 i watched quite a few indie films that were based in and around the PNW, this is one of them. The beginning of the film is actually set and filmed in a part here in Portland. I loooooved ...

Well, at some point i stopped writing about what i saw. The end of my last school year was so stressful that i looked for and found a new teaching job with a different district. Here i am, many m...

Looks like on this day, four years in a row i am posting an entry. 2018 has brought a lot of activity in my life, but not a lot of writing. In the past that meant i was not reflecting as much as ...

I’ve been lucky to catch up with good films. This one is probably more well-known than many others i’ve posted. Wes Anderson is a fairly recognizable indie director, having directed The Grand Bu...

One of the best. Please watch it, if possible. Also. Devastatingly sad.

I can’t get this song out of my head. I am excited to see this artist, Dessa, in a couple weekends. The album, Chime, is my new favorite. I can’t wait to delve into her previous albums.

I loved this film, for many reasons. One, it’s filmed near the physical location of my heart (Washington State) by a local woman director, Lynn Shelton. Two, the music is perfect (Andrew Bird di...

I had a lovely day watching movies and knitting with a dear friend of mine (we call it ‘stitch and bitch’ though there is very little bitch involved). I’d heard such good things about this movie,...

My heart is pounding and my breath is shallow. My body’s reaction to actually responding to the dramatic message i got last week. It took me a while to process it, move on from being hurt, and op...

I am going to process an experience here, on this frozen snow day, a day home in which i have been doing dishes, laundry, bits of knitting. It is amazing how one emotional punch makes me feel so ...

I’ve always like P.T. Anderson films, and this one follows suit. I loved it. I want to see it again. Highly recommended.

Everyone knows about this movie, now that it is up for many Oscars. I liked it, as i did the same director’s 2 previous movies. But, beyond great performances by Sam Rockwell and Frances McDorman...

What a way to start seeing great film! Friday i had a training in the am and took the second half of the day off. I chose to see a 12:30pm movie at a local living room theater style cinema, order...

Last meeting with my therapist (two weeks ago, last Saturday i was in CA with family helping with my grandpa’s estate) i learned that i have a diagnosis. Of course, i needed one for my (generous,...

You’d think that with 2 weeks off i would have found time to write. I had relatively few days to just relax. My grandpa died, so most of the time (last week) i had slated for relaxing or doing c...

I quickly checked my last year’s entries. About this time was the first big snows Portland area had, with quite a few snow days off. It was when i was really falling for Ian. I took a day off and...
