Marching Orders
It's March 1; we survive another Leap Day unscathed. Here's the Potpourri.
Obligate Yarnivore
Not sure what this means but I'm enjoying the wordplay. I have a mouth and I must stuff it with textiles?
The Autodidact's Home MFA in Film Studies
It crystallized for me this week that I'm not just really into movies, but putting myself through the film studies program I wish I'd done in college. I made a list of future "courses" for myself that includes things like Italian neorealism, Parallel cinema, Andrei Tarkovsky—it's nice. Makes me feel alive.
Desiredata
The title of Max Ehrmann's lovely 1927 poem is "Desiderata," but it often scrambles this way in my word-cauldron.
No Photos
Last time there were three photos. This time, none. The Potpourri giveth and the Potpourri taketh away.
Accelerated Mood Cycling
After a couple of anxious, busy months, depression had its day this week in the form of burnout and video games. I'm glad for the break, and am already clambering back on the horse. I guess the horse is anxiety?
Accelerated Moon Cycling
I'm not into this idea. It sounds apocalyptic.
The Horse is Not Anxiety
The horse is being alive!
