Once again I& #39;m tired of randomness in what I "consume".
I think I& #39;ve been slacking with film watching because I felt I was being too random and not really & #39;taking-things-in& #39;. For this I partly blame myself and letterboxd lmao.

Without that app I would probably just watch by country/period/director, and check film magazines for new recommendations. The last filmmaker I was able to do this with was Claire Denis, and it was a blast (seeing connections, growth, themes tackled over certain periods).
But this was in January. Since then I& #39;ve just been lazy lazy lazyeee, and distracted (by other films I randomly see on my LB front page... devil& #39;s pit)
This is also happening with books lol. January I was in a pretty good mood and had little to no distractions (had finished my course, wasn& #39;t living with my mum, wasn& #39;t online) and somehow I blew through 8/9 books.
Then in February, after I finished my last book I realized I was really struggling to remember themes/ideas of the less memorable (albeit interesting) things I read (I cannot tell you what & #39;no-exit& #39;, Sartre& #39;s play, is about.).
I also attribute this to randomness...

Anyway with films I feel like I& #39;m eventually going to find my way pretty soon. I recently finished Rohmer& #39;s 6 moral tales, and because his work is *so much different* from other films I& #39;ve seen from the French New Wave I have a feeling I& #39;m going to
dive a lil deeper into their work so at least I can understand wtf wuz goin on... But with books idk idk. Reading on a singular subject/topic can get boring quickly and frankly I& #39;m not that interested in anything atm (not even film).
My friend who teaches (avo!) told me I should try taking notes, but it& #39;s so fucking tedious and I can& #39;t do it for anything besides philosophy (or when I encounter a concept I& #39;m finding it hard to grasp). It just feels futile because I always think & #39;yeh this is easy
..lmao there& #39;s no way it& #39;s gna leak out if my brain& #39;.. then a few weeks later I& #39;m in a conversation where I could reference that interesting thing I read a while back and then.. mind dry.
Idk how long this thread is, or what it& #39;s for, just felt like telling tha wurld my biggest (non-material) problem atm lol. And I& #39;m not checking what I wrote cuz I& #39;d probably cringe and delete everything ^_° (this is not the first time I& #39;ve typed out some random bs that should be
in a diary [which I always start, but constancy is my antithesis] and eventually deleted cuz mayne...I don& #39;t like showing & #39;myself& #39; on here.)
Dunno what else to say..send tweet
