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...

---

When I have shared with you what i need and who i am in this relationship, what i hear is that it is not enough or is somehow wrong (with words like “right now you are unwilling to [share more of...

---

One of the best movies of the year (along with Columbus)

---

Last night I told Clay that i was going to be and hour + late for the half day Buddhism class we are both taking this upcoming Saturday. His response was “that’s ok” This raised my hackles (which...

---

I knew i would love this, like i knew i would love Columbus. I saw this director’s debut, Tangerine a couple years ago, and it was quite good. A story of a hidden side of homelessness most folk ...

---

finding the time to write has been hard, as well as feeling like i actually want to write. So, here i am, five minutes before the end of my prep period, writing. Tomorrow i am going to the second...

---

i have an entry brewing, but life has been so busy that it may come in spurts. First off, i started taking adderoll for ADD symptoms (possibly). It’s something i’ve suspected for years, my mind i...

---

The trailer makes mother! look like a horror film. It’s not. It’s not a real story, per say…every character is an archetype. I think people will talking about mother! for a long time. I think its...

---

O! O! How did i know i would love this before i even saw it? “a soft spoken reverie” says one tiny clip on the trailer. music, pacing, cinematography, the way conversations are filmed indirectly ...

---

Lately my spirit has had a more tentative connection with my physical body than usual. Acupuncture, tantra workshop, my first Buddhist meeting, meditation even… all of these have been putting me ...
