It is possible that Friday evenings after working all week may not be my most effective evenings for focused study.
Instead of studying anything tonight, I watched Cloud Atlas for the first time and wow, what a movie (how’s the book? haven’t read it). I was confused at first, because the movie begins by throwing multiple characters in different locations in time and space at you completely independent of context or exposition, but my confusion lessened as the movie progressed and I found the whole experience quite novel and deeply interesting. Very ouroboros. The plot took Inception’s layers approach and instead did this cool recursive folding thing that I’m unable to describe very well but if you’ve seen the movie you might know what I mean (again, unhelpful). Definitely cried at the moments where certain characters chose certain permanent actions or lost someone or were killed. Did not care for the idea that “death is just a brand new adventure” or “death opens a new door”, fuck that nonsense (thankfully it was not emphasized too much, only a few times).
Take small consistent steps towards improvement and kind actions.
