Late night musings from Facebook about Station Eleven, a limited series on HBO MAX. It was based on the novel of the same name by Emily St. John Mandel. Also notes about throwing a party for Danielle Deadwyler’s THE PIANO LESSON.
It’s been almost two weeks since I got home from the Mill Valley Film Festival! My brain finally feels as normal as it’s going to feel, and I can finally function again. Working 12 days in a row, 12-15 hour days and some of it in extreme heat really kicked my ass, but I also lost 10lbs. This was my second full MVFF, having only been able to work 3 or 4 days last year. Once again, I felt like it was life changing in ways I didn’t expect. I worked hard to put myself out there more as well, and I left the festival feeling even more fulfilled than I had in a long time. I met some amazing people and made some amazing connections. My batteries are recharged and I’m ready to start working once again on taking over the world.
Writing all this out helps me plan for the future, and who knows… one of you might see something on here you want to help with, or maybe you’ll come across something you think is right for me!

A favorite Facebook post from February 6, 2016: I really wish there were exit interviews for relationships. You start each relationship with a hundred questions, why not end them with a couple? Most end in silence. How great would it be to hear, “There was someone who was just a little better than you,” “I’m … Read moreCorn Chips & Exit Interviews
I just wanted to put this out there for those who struggle in silence, so that those can know they are not alone and if this buffoon here can work to make himself a better person, so can you.
