Neil Oldman Daydream Misfit Past/Present/Future Review 11/09/2026
Since the hurricane, I've had to work a lot to make up for lost wages. I feel like the man in Woman in the Dunes, trapped in a sandpit, exhausting myself trying to climb out. The people I talk to out there feel the same way. Everyone is working too much and getting nowhere.

Love After Death Movie Review
Love After Death is a black-and-white movie from 1968, filmed in New York and dubbed in English over Spanish.

Neil Oldman Past/Present/Future Review 9/28/2026
scatterplat In personal news, I got the lease taken care of, I think anyway, so I don’t have to worry about that for a year. Planning a trip to New Orleans next month with Raven to see some oddities, so that should be fun, as well as various local events.
