Gooood morning and welcome to another Monday. Time to get back on track in whatever rent-management scheme you have at your disposal. But first, stop and have a little confab with your invisible internet friends here.

Sunday evening OT

 


Nearly posted this on GT. Oops! 

Last night I rewatched Shanghai Triad for the first time since college. It's as good as I remember, but also watching art house films may be one of the reasons I was depressed. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Was young BC/C miserable because of depressing movies, or drawn to depressing movies because she was full of angst? The whole movie isn't depressing; it's beautiful to look at, the writing is tight, characters have arcs. It's easy to see why it got so much attention and nominations back in 1995. That said... I didn't feel better about humanity at the end.

 

The Photo Gallery


  It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.
