You're hungry, but I'm starving

I just got back from seeing Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama's Jennifer's Body (2009) at the Brattle with [personal profile] rushthatspeaks. I hope to write about it this weekend, but this was a particularly good evening to see a very funny but emotionally on-point horror movie that does not give an inch to the male gaze and makes narratively and thematically flawless use of Hole's "Violet."

Before leaving the house, I asked [personal profile] a_reasonable_man a question about the Supreme Court—what happens if the American people lose faith in its legitimacy—and he gave me an extremely useful answer. Even if it does nothing to dispel my sense of our long national remix, it is instructive for me to know that we have been somewhere like this before.

I woke this morning with a line from a Mowgli's song in my head ("But I still dream of waking up / To find the future screaming") to find that the present was doing a perfectly good job of screaming for itself. At least the repairman finally came and fixed our oven. I do not plan to put my head inside it. It is autumn and I am going to bake apples.
