Letterboxd: Bandits (2001)

One of the habits I have in this movie-watching quest is randomly scrolling through selections on Amazon Prime, trying to see if anything jogs my interest or I find lost treasures. Cut to this weekend when I found Bandits, a 2001 film by Barry Levinson. This was a movie that used to be a favorite, something I would stop at on a bored Sunday, and I was elated when I found it in the…

Christmas

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? Without a doubt, my favorite holiday is Christmas. I spent a little bit of time going through former posts to see if I have explained why before, and while I didn’t explicitly do that, there is enough that paints a picture. I guess I like a season where people are hopeful (even if it is in a contrived way as a product of capitalism). So…

NaPo Day 29: Antithetical

I know it might sound antitheticalbut sometimes I think none of this matters:That my wish to be remembered through somedegree of written beauty feels quite forced,As if I’m feigning a degree of self-serious significance. Sometimes,even through this new deluge of writtenexpression, I wonder if I am justchasing airplanes, thinking I can fly. Lie. But. I log back on. And I keep writing. What?!??!…

Fragments | 4/29

I’m tired. I didn’t really do much thisweekend and, yet, I’m tired. Part of meThinks it’s just me – that I’m too quick toJump off of schedule, stay up until thelate hours of the night and ignore allof the modicums of routine thatI work so hard to develop during theweek. The other part, wonders. Wonders ifI need a little more excitement forThe day. That I might need… want … something more.

Challengers (2024)

Like seemingly everyone else who loves movies, yesterday I checked out Challengers, by Luca Guagadnino, and, well, damn. Like… damn. This film is all about sex, relationships, and tennis (or bdsm and control and life disguised as tennis). Here’s the Letterboxd: Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. To jolt him…

Summer. It feels like game of thrones. Summer Is coming. Summer is here. It’ll be The first without ball. The first without a Structure. It’s, an opportunity for something new. A chance to plan for a wild New future with vast opportunity. Change. Story. Passion. Maybe this summer. But, Definitely next. Maybe this is the Training. The montage for the journey. Hmm.

NaPo Day 28 | Night then morning

Dripping from skin to skin, a brackish appeal of red lips. More, just a little more, pulling, pleading her quite closer. Creamy fresh pancakes, order fruit and bacon on the side. Getting close to the end! I think I did that right. Here’s the prompt if you want to try your own.

I used to really care about the news. Politics was a thing I avidly Read, watched, and in some cases wrote about. I’d argue, because I believed I was right. And… I stopped… I can probably point To reasons why. I work in a place where My beliefs don’t line up, so I shut my mouth. Social conversations were ending the Same way, so I stopped. No one was trying To listen to the other person …

Fragments | Headspace

Start and stop. That was the name of the game Today. Woke up late. Didn’t have time, fell Asleep. But I’m here now. Some days that’s how It is. Trying to draw inspiration – Can’t really get there watching the league draft. I guess headspaces matter. So what next? Keep staring. Do the prompt, first? Just push through.
