going to the cinema alone

May not sound particularly exciting, but there is something about picking a film you want to see, going by yourself, and then getting to walk home by yourself just mulling it over in your head. My favourite solo date activity!

Going to the movies alone

I started doing this in October and it changed my life. I experience a total reset of my mind and mood - especially when the movie is really good. Though I love going with friends, there’s something therapeutic about enjoying good cinema. I try to allow myself this luxury once a month

consume. create. connect.

I'm writing an essay and I've come up with three antidotes to overconsumption. 1. Consume critically. I don't care how many books you read last year - how does your favourite author use literary devices to tell their story? How does your favourite film director create a mood? Figure this out. 2. Create anything. And I really mean anything. Bake a cake, write an essay, knit a scarf. This is probably the best antidote to overconsumption because it preoccupies you, but it also helps develop some respect for what it takes to do the things that you consume. 3. Connect with people. It doesn't need to be that deep. DM your favourite content creator that you like their stuff. Comment on people's PI.FYI recs. If you enjoy consuming another person's content, letting them know is just a nice thing to do (and helps avoid parasocial relationships).

Cinema marathons

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you don’t end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

Homemade pizza>>> Takeaway

I ain’t ordering pizza delivery in this economy. I’ve got a go-to pizza dough recipe that never fails, it takes 1.5 hours to make including dough-rise time, and at this point I prefer it to most restaurant pizzas.
