weeknotes 20

Still thinking about this weeknotes format - would be better if I actaully resized and cropped my pictures and put them at the top wouldn't it?

I'm looking forward to

Films 🍿🎥✮⋆˙

This week I watched The Brutalist, The Straight Story, Shanghai Blues, Basket Case, Maximum Overdrive, The Shawshank Redemption and Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, which I wrote about here.

I've been feeling 🫀🩹🥀❤️‍🩹

I've been reading 🍵📖

I finished Like Water For Chocolate - not my idea of romance but it's very romantic and I loved the fantasy elements and the fast pace of it. The food descriptions were so good, and despite the pace I mentioned I fell for some of the characters - Tita's sister Gertrudis who runs away to become a revolutionary is a highlight. Her other sister is treated very poorly by the text however, essentially farting herself to death 😅 a very colourful book.

I've been listening to the Kitchen Confidential audiobook on spotify instead of podcasts at the moment, and while I'm not sure the brash crude style has aged that well, Anthony Bordain has so much good will with me for Parts Unknown it remains such a fun listen.

Can't remember how I got to ribo.zone but it's the best kind of personal site, where every page is a new delight.

When I mentioned David Lynch's passing I said I hadn't seen much written about him on bearblog - but recently I saw this thoughtful post on his influence from dustroy troly.
