Hello everyone!

This week is going to be a little interesting since this week's review is being written on my phone!

Also… I just ate a pot brownie to see if I can finish this review before it kicks in.

Good times!

I hate saying that weeks are shitty because they are usually mixed bags. I feel bad lumping the people that I had good times with the shitty parts. That said, what a shitty week?

Things have been slow for me this year… making the few checks that I'm waiting on even more frustrating than the typical freelance payment wait. This is the week where months of being broke collided leaving me zero funds to pay all of my bills.

• My cable internet was shut down.

• I finally gave in and had to visit a food bank for the first time in my life.

• The Kickstarter campaign for my short film 487film.com failed to meet its goal.

• To top it off my truck ran out of gas at 6:30 in the am on the way home from working overnight.

I'm not all that worried.

I'm very resilient.

Things are already starting to pick up.

• My mom sent me a check out of the blue just because. So today I was able to get some real food, and a pot brownie (I said it was a rough week, don't judge.)

• I'm switching internet providers so that my internet bill will be cut in half, and.not just for an introductory offer.

• I've got the five dollars to at least get my truck home tomorrow.

• I took all this stress and used my coping mechanism to write a feature-length script about an agoraphobic astronaut and broke my record, completing it in 36 hours.

I finished writing that script today at around 6:00 in the am.

I was unsure if I would crash hard and sleep past my review deadline or not sleep at all and be too out of it to watch the movie and write a review of it in time.

My solution was to watch it right away and figure out the review when I wake.

So, at 6:30 in the am I fired up the theatrical release of Southland Tales and forced myself to stay awake for a couple more hours.

I think I chose the right time to watch it. I'm not sure if time seemed to be going faster because I had been up so long that it leads to experiencing time differently. Kind of like how when you're 10 years old one year is 10% of your life and when you're 100 years old one year is 1% of your life so a year seems to fly by.

It could have also been the last week I spent 9 hours watching this movie, so two and a half hours seemed to fly by.

Whatever the reason this week the movie flash by in almost a blur, which is exactly what I needed at the time.

Though I got the least out of the movie this viewing it leads me to like the movie more, almost as if it knew what I needed and just played out with talking to me.

Hm, that brownie must be kicking in.

Perfect timing!
