Every Saturday is #LetterboxdFriday for those of us who can't read a calendar! A wild mix of movies, all of which have stuck with me in different--mostly haunting--ways. #LastFourWatched

Just finished Kristen Arnett's very funny Stop Me If You've Heard This One on audio & was telling my husband what a great job Cameron Esposito does with the narration. Only now discovering he thought I meant Giancarlo Esposito--who, while talented, wouldn't be my first pick to voice a lesbian clown.

These past few weeks of movies had everything: two Michael B. Jordans, a Lucille Ball noir, becoming BFFs with Bela Lugosi, and lots of insider trading. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
Four film posters: Sinners, Lured, Ed Wood, and Wall Street

Three admissions from my latest viewing: I will occasionally pad my stats with comedy specials, I do judge a film by its title (as in, I'll watch for the title alone), and I can't resist a New York love story (or two). #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
Four film posters: Arthur, Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years, Safe in Hell, The Goodbye Girl

In my dog's most bully-coded move yet, he just jumped on the couch and farted on my library book?? Like, why not knock the glasses off my face and pin a kick me sign on my back while you're at it!

My latest four movies included the remainder of my Oscar viewing, a film so beautiful it still gave me vacation envy despite the murders, and TWO psychic scammers. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
Four movie posters: Seance on a Wet Afternoon, Ghost, Purple Noon, and The Brutalist

People get confused about the different orders in Catholicism, but I can tell you as a person who went to a Jesuit college that their defining characteristic is that Jesuits will read you for filth for using too many em dashes in an essay because "you're not Emily Dickinson."

Got the biggest compliment of my life today: "You're like Groucho with bangs."

A fun thing about working in a library is you can see a random sci-fi book from decades ago has a ton of checkouts all of a sudden, and when you try to figure out why, you find it totally predicted the nightmare you're living in now.

An enjoyable batch of movies lately. Also, I'm apparently a big fan of two people looking into the distance. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Fine, I guess I've just gotta tell everybody about Kneecap MYSELF.

Christmas to New Year's is for filling in the gaps of the Jamie Lee Curtis cinematic universe with your mom, watching Parker Posey make Dewey Decimal jokes, checking out a holiday classic you've somehow never seen, and becoming convinced you have one really good PowerPoint in you. #LastFourWatched
Four movie posters: La Jetee, The Apartment, Party Girl, You Again

Movie posters for four films: The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Experiment in Terror, and Thelma

At work today, I had to put an out of order sign on one of the bathrooms, so I was looking to see if we already had one printed. We did, but it said, "A librarian will be happy to assist you at the desk," which I thought sent the wrong message. I printed a new one.

How exciting is my life? Let's just say my December is going to be jam-packed. (Got the Bonne Maman Advent calendar.)

In a desperate attempt at whimsy, I'm now treating everything like the Criterion Closet. Bookshelf, wardrobe, spice rack... Started saying things like, "Ooh, ground coriander. I first heard about this from Martin Scorsese."

Randomly remembering the time I offered to take the minutes for a staff meeting my second week of work, when I didn't know anyone's name yet. Why did no one stop me!

Love when my car does that "Check the Back Seat" message because my first thought isn't forgotten baby...I think it's a warning there's a killer hiding there.
