Zoe and I watched the Piano Teacher last night. It's been a while since I saw something so affecting. The only other Haneke I've seen is the American version of Funny Games. I really like how both of them revolve around the theme of pornography. In the end, the moving image is totally pornographic. I really like things that challenge your engagement in them. I think there needs to be more of that. Everything now is geared to sedate your discomfort, and seamlessly flow into a playlist of nonstop screen time.
We're going rock-climbing today! Two times in a week, for the first time. I'm hype. I've noticed I get stressful dreams when I don't exercise. And then tomorrow, our friend is DJing at the soft opening of the new TAG location. Apparently it might have an outdoors area, and it's by a lake. Dance will be my exercise... exciting!!
Got a good nights sleep the other night because I went on a 1.5hour long walk before bed (gotta hit those 10k steps). Went past the shopping center and kept moving west through a riverside park connected to an apartment complex. Streetlights were sparse, but I felt safe, mostly just old couples taking the same after dinner walk as me, young joggers, occasionally a college aged girl on video call with her friend. I felt a swelling love for this city. January, comfortably outside in just two sweaters, a river, a full moon hidden behind indiscriminate layers of cloud and smog. People, everywhere, doing their own thing. I got a box of jackfruit from a familiar street vendor and he gifted me the remainder of his samples while he packed up for the night. I smoked two watermelon cigarettes, one on the way to the park one on the way back. The ones in China have crazy nicotine levels, I'm spinning as I walk, it almost makes up for the lack of weed.
Ok I gotta work on some stuff. I'm doing my trailer for Lindsey (trying to animate a couple shots every day) and then getting geared up to start actually drawing Cosplay Famous. Byeeee
