hello from london. it is late january.

i am listening to the soft trickle of rain against the window pane.

somehow, i found the neighborhood i would live in if i were to upend my life in the bay area. for whatever unknown reason.

i have been eating the cereal that i used to hyperfixate on as a child, the only thing i would eat whilst visiting family in the uk and ireland.

i think about how 800 years has warped our traditions. how m&s stores have signs in gaeilge now... and how wallace and gromit is objectively good.

the common travel area is an interesting concept. it looks like reparations, while not doing much. sovereignty on paper, only. and how we're okay with that. more or less, i am pacified by it. seduced, even.

our modern histories have more in common with indigenous tribes, on an economic and governance level, than with northern europe.

next week, is my last. my best friend and i will be spending it in dublin. mainly to look at stained glass. but also to walk around, and experience the simple joys.

i've never spent much time in the republic. i am eager to see how different it is from the north. even socially.

something is wrong in our marriage

This is a very specific sub-genre of movie I remember as a kid that seemed to only exist from about 1996 to 2004, but really seemed to prosp

New list on letterboxd for a sub-genre I'm obsessed with and have never been able to quite put into words until now. This is a very specific sub-genre of movie I remember as a kid that seemed to only exist from about 1996 to 2004, but really seemed to prosper between '98 and '02. I also call them "silent hill" dramas. For the film to fit under this umbrella, it must contain at least a handful of these criteria:

- Moody, rainy/windy atmosphere - Blue/greenish hue - Unhappy couple in their 30s-40s - Someone in the marriage is having an affair or under a lot of pressure at work - Someone in the marriage is sick/recently died - The couple has recently divorced but are still in somewhat close contact - The couple must live or work in Manhattan - If not Manhattan, they must spend part of the movie in New England - Takes place in any season except summer - There is a remote, secluded estate/vacation home - The wife is waif-y yet determined - The husband is kinda gay in a Ralph Lauren sweater way

This sub-genre is primarily associated with psychological erotic thrillers and horror but can be found in other genres as well. There may be films made referentially in this style outside the stated time period (eg: Faces in the Crowd, Chloe). The locale of and proximity to Manhattan is exceptionally crucial to this genre, but there are select outliers (eg: The Fourth Kind, The Piano Teacher, The Ring). The couple aspect is a core component of this sub-genre; the dynamic between the two, whether separated by divorce or death, is important to this specific theme. Films about single individuals, although otherwise fitting the sub-genre (eg: Sliver with Sharon Stone) cannot be included.

it feels like i have been on this journey through all the mud, grit, and rain… and now i’m inside the entrance. i am taking off my shoes. and peeling off my soggy clothes.

i am walking up the stairs. i sit next to the fire place — to stare at it for a while. i listen to the faint crackle into the night.
