Grand dames Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton are friends in the movie The Room Next Door. Moore's character is a writer researching the surrealist Leonora Carrington. An early scene is reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World, a print of which hung over my Granny's fireplace. In the movie, a Vietnam vet suffers a delusion, believing people are screaming from a burning house. His wife falls onto the grass, begging him not to go into the flames. He believes he must rescue them. Great film.

@jacklaridian @jalefkowit Approx. 4 min 50 seconds in, the lead male character has her tromping through the woods carrying two huge suitcases while he carries a duffle bag to their cabin getaway. I'm good with any homicide that takes place.

Watching a science fiction thriller--''Companion.''

I'm just going to keep posting about my psych ward experience and you guys are just going to have to put up with me. 😆

@jacklaridian Wow. I haven't watched that yet. I love this White Lotus character. At first, I couldn't tell if they were trying to present this as an ironic character in the series, but I began to see they are presenting her as well-rounded, innocent, and likeable.

I'm thinking when a guy calls you bro in conversation, he's def. not interested. 😂

I watched Seth Meyers interview Parker Posey last night, one of my favorite indie actresses. 💜

I'm ghosting my country and having emotional affairs with more attractive nations.

@jacklaridian I know that's true, but I also think all prices are going up because of dear leader. Many prices were greater. Literally, the price was different like yesterday.

@jacklaridian ps I also wonder if some specific item hikes are related to businesses anticipating tariffs, idk. Other fine chocolates in that section were about the same price. I still love going to the store, in general, and cooking. I'm just scheming up new ways of doing it cheaper. 💜

How are you. I went to the grocery store and my favorite dark chocolate bar is now one dollar more, after being at the same price for years.

This movie is showing me that if nuclear war breaks out, it is acceptable to leave the grocery store with a full basket of unpaid-for-groceries

On a lighter note, I am learning how to peel a Cara Cara orange.

@jacklaridian @glauber I am amazed you did this. haha. I just can't. And the largest font possible! 😂 Poor Usha.

@jacklaridian Good point. Yeah, it will be interesting to observe.

@jacklaridian I predict the backlash may catapult the story into greater visibility. We'll see I guess, but the reaction is definitely a sign she hit on something deep.

The Episcopal bishop who asked Trump et al to have compassion for and mercy on the vulnerable is the most consequential American in this century so far. She did something incredibly important.

Trump, tiktok, changing plans, etc...just another example of why it is a waste of time to listen to the news for the next 4 years.

I heard a recent medical report that drinking any amount of alcohol causes cancer. Sorry, but my bias is just living in this world causes cancer. May as well have a beverage from time to time.
