> movies watched:

• Moonstruck (for ~10th time, b/c we were considering apartments in Brooklyn Heights)
• 5tarted to watch The Curse season 1—so spot on about how stupid liberals R it's almost hard 2 watch
• Leave the World Behind—apocalyptic whore film also hard 2 watch b/c it seems 2 close 2 home... a bit derivative of Jordan Peele, is this the direction of contemporary (post-covid) films?
• Paris is Burning—documentary about '80s trans/drag/vogueing culture in Harlem witch mayB we saw b4 cant remember
• Society of the Snow—another movie about the Uruguayan rugby team that crashed in the Andes, always an intresting subject
