Stuck inside on a couch with excruciating back pain, deciding if I should watch MARGARET or SON OF THE MASK.

"I saw the moon when we were out there on the ocean. Shining down on everything. I've been miserable for so long. Years of my life wasted. For you. Been a long time comin' here to meet you. A long time, on a crooked road."

I saw the girl on the left, Lindsey, perform at a Star Gardens (Unionized NoHo strip club) benefit show a year or so ago.
To see her on the stage with the rest of the ANORA cast and crew filled me with legit glee.
What a wonderful night!
