Another Ari Aster movie that fell short of personal expectations.

Watched with very much a friend, ate a salmon, asparagus and mashed potato salad she made which was delicious.

I was told I’d really enjoy this movie and I think I gotta stop letting people say that to me. Maybe it’s bc I felt pretty sleepy with the first half of the movie and the cult’s rituals, all scenes of the white linen clothing and sunny meadows fading into one another. It did hold my interest but mostly purely out of curiosity rather than feeling really invested. Like oooh how’s he gonna make this whacky and weird? The acting and the set was mad impressive though.

Getting injured is interesting because I know I can get obsessive with health stuff and now I have this extra little thing to direct my attention toward, like hiiiii :3

Having an awesome weekend.

I’m consuming a lot of media, but I haven’t sewn or drawn anything in a while. I’m enjoying writing about what movies I’m watching and what books I’m reading though. It’s kind of hard, to be honest, probably because it does feel like I’m doing mental exercises.

Figuring out how I feel, finding the right words for it, putting it down, deciding if that is coming across in a way that can closely approximate what I’m trying to say, it’s a lotta work.
