holding area

we were watching an episode of ER and the camera was moving COMPLETELY differently from all the other episodes so we just looked it up and QUENTIN TARANTINO??? DIRECTED THIS EPISODE?????

I read one Clarice Lispector book a year, always in the summer, and it gives me an entire year's worth of things to think about.

I'm back home, my cats are sitting cuddled on their chair, I'm drinking iced coffee I made before we left out of my favorite glass, and there's an email from my weaving teacher in my inbox calling out my work as a positive example :')

I’ve been trying to figure out my aversion to moving images and I’ve had a partial breakthrough. I really REALLY hate the tendency in modern tv & film to rapidly cut multiple times in a scene. Conversations cut back and forth between each speaker instead of holding the camera stationary and letting the scene unfold. It feels very destabilizing on a visual level, but without the intent of destabilizing the viewer! The intent comes from a place of mistrusting the audience to follow the action and a misguided belief that long shots are boring.

Really looking forward to watching all the television my mutuals are furiously debating all at once in 7-9 months

2 days later still thinking about the bog...............

So convenient how the literacy crisis started exactly after the person making the argument finished their education and not a second before!

Really really love the feeling of reading a book and actively thinking about it the same time as you read. This sounds really silly, because obviously the whole time you are thinking, but you know what I mean? Like sometimes youre just floating along with the narrative, but sometimes you’re actively dissecting the prose or putting things together or guessing what’s next AS you follow along and that is such a nice feeling!!!
