10 hours of sleep undid whatever was scrambling my brain. What a relief. Slow day, still had pain but the difference when you aren't being swamped by the various thoughts and signals to it being separate tabs/windows so to speak is night and day.

It took me a full hour to get past the first five minutes of Malpertuis 1971. Kept getting distracted or forgetting. It was odd, atmospheric and, eh, not really for me. It started going somewhere with the American Gods style concept that gods fade without belief and then threw plot threads at the wall and left it all unfinished.

I often find myself enjoying films labelled boring if there's a lot of meaningful dialogue and emotion (In the mood for love, Dinner with André) but little action or if the slow moments are deliberate to allow you to mull over a concept (Solaryis) but films that are labelled boring because it's mostly about aesthetics or moodiness aren't my jam, I could see how that would be appealing, I just haven't found many yet that tap into mine, probably a woman or ND guy directing, gothic mundane (as opposed to rich people gothic) or being very aware of nature like the end of Black Rainbow or the start of Stoker.

For now I'm happy to keep watching cult films marked 'boring' and gamble on the chance of meeting a good one, though might switch off ones like this that tell you the male gaze is going to be a big deal. In this one it was 6 minutes in with the bar brothel scene - topless ladies and statues with light up nipples is kind of a giant red flag LOL. Don't let the protag's pretty androgyny fool you into thinking this might have gay sensibilities. There's a woman character with hypersexual compulsions. 3 sex scenes that come across as way over acted. Lots of murder victims found looking gruesome. Then they used the entire prop budget on the house so the smaller props look hilariously bad.

I managed to sort the fabric drawer and set up a few items to sew (30 minutes at a time no more). Maybe this injury is the ideal time to try the sewing machine. I've collected quite a bit of clothes hanging ribbons that would make closures without having to hand sew buttons or snaps. Something to consider in the weeks to come.

I'd really like to schedule a final cif wash for all the glue treated monsters and just list dolls that are ready and have been for almost a year but not listed for silly reasons like Moana doesn't have clothes or what if people would prefer i remove overpainting from vintage Skipper reroots or Purrsephones nose paint is damaged. Those little things that somehow mean unfinished and thus unlistable (???)

Don't want to get to ambitious and then regret not magically having energy but I do want to write these things down so they do eventually get done. For example BMR Pazette is taking many small sessions but she's finally coming together because of lists and keeping her visible. There's a cute yellow top planned for her.

Thx to @dollsahoy, I passed on info about the meteor shower to the family and sis went out to watch for half hour and managed to see 14 shooting stars. She's delighted.
