weeknotes 24
I'm so tired today... I'm old and I haven't really recovered from the midnight movie on Friday 😴
I'm looking forward to
- Going for a (very belated) birthday meal to a spanish tapas restaurant on Wednesday
Films 🍿🎥✮⋆˙
This week I watched The Last Showgirl (2024), Eraserhead (1977), A Knight's Tale (2001), Golden Eighties (1986) and On Falling (2024).
I've seen so many good films lately and I'm struggling to write about them. I should mention Golden Eighties renewed my faith in Akerman a bit, after last week's tedium. I found this archive of her notes on the movie, which has some pretty shots from it.
I've been feeling 🫀🩹🥀❤️🩹
Meditating has been a struggle for me this week. My thoughts wander a lot, I zone out into daydreams until the timer goes off, etc etc. Very frustrating.
Still been feeling very demotivated and conflicted about my future, although I'm doing mentally. This is a recurring problem when my mental health is better - I start getting stressed about bigger issues in my life.
Things I've done ✎ᝰ.📓🗒 ˎˊ˗
- Climbing on Thursday and Sunday morning, and I fit some bouldering on Wednesday as well 💪
I've been reading 🍵📖
The Hunter by Richard Stark; this is for book club and I'm not really enjoying it so far - the main character is a brute and most of the women in in seem to exist to get brutalised 🙄
Links
Started an arena channel to try and track links better - Are.na. I've been struggling to find a good bookmarking system lately.
February's indieweb carnival prompt finished, and I enjoyed the round-up post, particularly this post by eladnarra with some musing on which affirmations work for her and why.

See you next week ~ 👋
