Good Morning, World

Hello, happy Monday y'all -- my first official day back in my office after two-ish weeks dealing with a COVID outbreak in my (pants) household, I hope y'all are safe and sound and vaxxed and boosted and continuing to wear masks in public spaces and to exhibit proper intelligent behavior with what you're doing in the world. Still a pandemic! Anyway all that heaviness aside I'm feeling one thousand percent better today -- right about Saturday afternoon I felt myself returning, like a former me settled down into my body from whatever hellscape it'd been trapped in. Not that the world's not full of nightmare fuel! But I'm me at least and can go back to experiencing all the usual shit that proper way again. So full of sunshine and light this Monday morning. Maybe it has something to do...

... with the fact that I binged Yorgos Lanthimos movies all weekend long? There above is the Twitter thread where I shared absolutely no insight whatever into that fact and those films, save the realization that Yorgos Lanthimos loves having his characters slap each other. So! Many! Slaps! From Friday night through Sunday I watched The Lobster, then Alps, then The Favourite, then Dogtooth, and last night finished up with the cheeriest of them all The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and gosh are my arms tired. Felt like good prep for Poor Things, Yorgos' new movie with Emma Stone out later this year anyway. And now I figured this morning it'd be nice to greet y'all with these gifs of a naked Colin Farrell in Sacred Deer. You're welcome.
