February Reflections
Doing
Bowling
Got roped in to going to broadway bowling league. I sucked at bowling before and I suck at bowling now but it is a fun activity that gets you out of the house and gets you to socialize and exercise! (The other names are blocked out but yes, the lowest score is mine.)
Took my own passport photos
I did the passport makeup that has gone viral on Tiktok, got the picture done, hated it, decided to take them myself and immediately got distracted taking non-passport conforming photos with the self timer, and thought I would share as I don’t have many pictures of myself up in ‘Reflections’!
Developing film
I took this film in January on Kodak cameras. It was actually quite difficult for any of the low-light pictures to come out without using the flash every time. Above is my favorite one of the bunch and one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken (pictured is my friend Lola).
Reading
All New People by Zach Braff
Dark comedy about guy whos gonna kill himself when someone walks in bc theyre the real estate agent who is gonna show the house - two other uninvited guests come over and a death day party begins. Secrets are revealed, limits are tested, and the dynamics of people in their 30s are exposed.
Dans la solitude des champs de coton by Bernard-Marie Koltès
When first skimming this play I did not have high hopes as the language seems quite complex and elevated. However, I fell in love with it after a few pages. Yes, the language is a little complex but context clues make it easier to understand what is happening in this power struggle between two strangers in an unknown location in the middle of the night.
Wilderness by Seth Bockley and Anne Hamburg
This play is about a group of kids who are all going through it and not really fitting in to society - whatever their mental disorder or affliction is. We explore their relationships with their parents and with each other - and the kids end up trusting each other because they’re all outcasts in a way. I do wish they hadn’t just skimmed the surface as the shock value was missing.
