last movie watched: Possession (1981), creepy psychosexual horror. this one was difficult to watch. it’s a graphically disturbing look at a woman (anna) losing her mind when her misogynist husband refuses to leave her alone until she finally fractures into multiple “selves”. once she is able to get away, her doppelganger appears to act as the husband’s angel of the house. another one of her “selves/sisters” goes on a murder spree after a private investigator discovers a tentacled hominoid (???) in her bed. it is very shocking but, aside from the penultimate tunnel scene, which is truly terrifying, the scenes that shocked me most didn’t have any gore--the ballet class; when the husband tries to force anna to sit quietly with him on the couch.

if you could be anywhere right now, where would you be: a warm beach with friends and animals and music
a fictional character you would hang out with for the day: Lucy Snowe from Villette. i would like to be close to someone with that much inner strength. i would ask her how she kept going.
what fictional world/universe would you want to spend a week in: Margaret Cavendish’s cosmological scientific-utopian Blazing World with its various bird- and fish- and bear- and worm-men, with peaceful “Immaterial Spirits” who know everything about the universe, where if one atom “perishes” the whole of the natural world does too. also you can summon your earthly self via an umbilical-like passage between worlds, and souls can exist simultaneously in the same body.
last video game played: one of my friends has talked to me a lot about mass effect. i’ll play tetris if i need something to do with my hands.
