How's Monday been? If you're in the US or Canada and lucky enough to have a job that gives you the day off today, did you have a good one? It's Friday as I write this, but I'm assuming I'll have more family time, unfortunately, with my family. Ugh.
My wife complains we don't have any professional portraits of the four of us so I lazy-doodled us. Boy I hope I'm not being too doxxy. Here are the daughters, taking a break from their feeding.
Here's a sketch of my wife...

| Does my dress make me look fat? |
.... One of both kids, feeding....

| Omm nomnomnom |
... One of me....
 |
| don't interrupt the sqrl |
... And here's the whole family. As usual, one of us isn't smiling and only one of us is looking directly into the camera. sigh.

Just finished Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (AK #28/30. So close. Only Rhapsody in August and Madadayo left). This one works like an autobiography, showing various anxieties he may have suffered from childhood to old age. He lays out his themes and concerns in his movies as simply as possible here. He's never been a subtle director, but with his late works, he tells you explicitly what his films mean. Works really well if you've seen all of his prior films but may seem didactic to cynical viewers who've grown up at a time that worships irony.
I'm exhausted and not really up for conversation so please talk amongst yourselves. Lately I wake up and feel like I just fell down a well. Hope all's good with you. Talk soon.
