weeknotes 21
Another week - I'm starting this on Friday to post on Sunday :)
I'm looking forward to
I've planned a Valentine's not on Valentine's day evening where we're going to eat ramen and then watch Tampopo 🍜
It's Twin Peaks day on the 24th of February - I've been re-watching it so we'll watch a couple more episodes with some cherry pie.
We're going to do our monthly book club meet up at the end of the week, and my friend is coming to visit so we can do it in person :)
Films 🍿🎥✮⋆˙
This week I watched Grosse Point Blank, Eighth Grade, The Great Dictator (as part of Bristol Slapstick fest), High Fidelity, and The Wild Robot - none of which I've written about.
The Great Dictator was a highlight, and I'd encourage everyone to seek it out if you haven't seen it.
I've been feeling 🫀🩹🥀❤️🩹
Better than last week, when I was feeling insecure and miserable. My sleep has been bad and I've been grumpy about it because it's my own fault. Despite writing this response about reducing phone addiction, I've still stayed up playing phone games into the night, which I know is bad for my mental (and physical) health!!
I had a migraine Wednesday morning which came back during the day on Thursday and again on Saturday morning. Total rizatriptan tablet count: 3
I've been trying to consistently meditate, so I've created a meditation log page.
Things I've done ✎ᝰ.📓🗒 ˎˊ˗
One boulder on Wednesday, which I was unenthusiastic for.
One Pilates class, instead of going rope climbing because it's been fucking freezing.
One pub quiz, where we came 9th (it's a very hard quiz, ok??)
I've been watching Amandaland and Alma's Not Normal on BBC. Both funny, but Alma's not normal is my favourite - it really addresses the humour and the pathos of a dysfunctional family.
I've been reading 🍵📖
I've been reading The Law of The Wolf Tower by Tanith Lee - I saw the cover and I thought I might have read it as a kid. I liked it a lot - Claidi is a great protagonist, and you watch her figure herself and her morals out through her inner monologue.
Links
I added a directory page and I included some links in my Wednesday post. I also added octothorpes to this blog - I've used it it tag all my film posts at the moment, because that's the only consistent thread on this blog outside of weeknotes.
The octothorpes blog wrote a nice welcome post to me - thanks! The idea of someone speed watching Jeanne Dielman for a film club is very funny 😄
Photos
No photos this week :( I haven't taken a shot of anything interesting, not even a cat.
See you next week ~ 👋
