It’s been my experience that one of the best experiences one can have with art is to find a great piece of it before you know too much about it. There’s so much commentary, especially about movies — review shows, reviews, talk shows with clips, internet content, all of it. Don’t get me started on interviews with actors, etc., where SPOILER ALERT appears literally one word before the spoiler.
So, with all that said, I won’t spoil anything, or tell you too much, or anything at all. Just go see “One Battle After Another” and thank me later.
That was the highlight of the weekend, which was, as usual, filled with chores and, this weekend, yet another summer weekend — temps in the 80s. It won’t last past Monday, and I guess I should be sad, but I’m ready for fall.
And with that, I’ve kind of emptied my already shallow bin. Let’s try for better later this week.

Went to spend time with my mother, which I’m trying to do every two weeks, thereabouts. It’s getting stranger & sadder & weirder as her cognitive decline picks up speed. Where this situation will end up . . . no idea. I see so many different arcs of this sort of endgame. But eight hours of driving in a day is something I’m getting increasingly less able to handle well.
