what a time to be alive

In Bruges. Colin Farrell as Ray and Brendan Gleeson as Ken Daley. Ray has a gun pointed at his head. Ken is pointing a gun at Ray. Both of them are labeled “America.” Both guns are labeled “Americans.”

Wondering why I feel overwhelmed and a little crabby and realized, oh yeah, it's the first Monday back from the holidays and EVERYONE is replying to their emails I sent before Christmas 😵‍💫

The only good part about January morning walks: the window ice!

And yes, I'm just wearing my velvet PJ pants 😁

I'm late this year updating my calendar of #screenwriting fellowships/labs/etc. -- sorry!

Please let me know if you have personal good/bad experience with any of these or think I should add/delete any.

Also, note the programs with JANUARY DEADLINES!

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

I don't question the titles, I'mjust happy the kid is excited to get library books...

And a little curious about the answer to this one, too🐰

Wish I'd had white sesame instead of black (since it looks like its covered in ants), but not bad! Little bland, hence the crunchy red pepper oil, but the tofu was really yummy.
