As it is want to do, I believe my cyclothymia is currently “changing the rules” of my mental state, which includes my mood, behaviour, and interests. These periods of psychological limbo have also stated making me physically in recent years, so I may be laid up for a few days. Basically, it means I’m having to wait to see what cultural artefacts now pique my interest, which can take awhile. It’s not a fun time, but, once things settle, I’m sure I’ll be back on the bitchy wagon.
MR VAMPIRE IV
The hopping is back! Unfortunately, my interest in this pentalogy has hopped back. I tried watching this fourth instalment yesterday, but just could not focus on it. I may have to put the boxset to one side for now, pending which way my mind goes. Shame really, as it is a fun series.
FRANZ KAFKA
While I didn’t enjoy High-Rise, its overall vibe reminded me of the works of author Franz Kafka, so I’m going to try some of his audiobooks out. I may even try to buy up some of the film adaptations that have been made over the years, but I doubt they’re easily available in the UK. Let me know what you think of this peddler of dystopian paranoia!
JABBERWOCKY
I really want to be continuing my “Catching-up with Gilliam” series, but I’ve stalled at his very first film. I really don’t think I was in the right head space for it, so I would like to watch it again. And I use the term “like” very loosely, as I did not enjoy my initial viewing one bit. Still, I have some notes for a short review, so I may combine it with another. I also need to order The Zero Theorem, as I, erm, forgot to do it before.
MUSIC
I’ve mainly been listening to cute Dutch pop (don’t ask) over the past few months, but I get the feeling I’ll be moving onto something else. I was playing catch-up with Kings of Leon earlier today/yesterday/whenevs, as I checked out when they shifted over to arena MOR blandness. However, the album I was listening to sounded a bit more inspired, so I’ll give their last four albums a jolly good try.
STATS
I’ve had a massive spike in post views over the last few days. Like, a crazy amount. I’m wondering whether somebody’s posting my reviews somewhere. Very strange! I mean, I’m certainly not promoting them myself on social media. I don’t think I’m emotionally strong enough to deal with a lot of attention, especially from the internet, but it’s still flattering to be noticed. I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS.
Anyway, I best go figure out whether I’m staying in bed or getting up. I’ve been lying there for 12 hours straight, but only had about 4 hours sleep. So, yeah, while I’m feeling pretty rotten, I don’t think more sleep is going to be forthcoming.
Do stay in touch, darlings.
Toodles!
