Lisa’s Week In Review: 5/10/21 — 5/16/21


My feelings about this week are mixed.

On the one hand, I got next to no writing done. That’s a very rare occurrence and, as Sunday comes to a close, I’m a bit annoyed with myself. I ended up spending most of the week going through all of my old journals and looking over my old notebooks, trying to make out a definitive list of every film that I’ve watched since 2007. (Letterboxd is addictive.) It’s an ongoing project.

On the other hand, I did watch a lot of movies. So far, I’ve watched 257 movies this year. I want that number to be 300 by the end of May. So, I’ve got 43 movies to go and, if I keep up the pace that I established this week, I should be able to easily accomplish that goal. So yay for that!

Ah, well. There’s nothing you can do but move forward. Next week, it’s supposed to rain nonstop and the rain always seems to be inspire my best work.

So, before I end up depressing myself, here’s what I watched, read, and listened to this week:
