super surreal and dreamy, in a slightly snarky way.. it’s one of my favourite comfort movies. the story was cooked up by harry nillson while he was super high on LSD, who then of course wrote the entire soundtrack as a loose concept album, which is very very good!!!! it’s all narrated by ringo starr too!!!!!! u used 2 b able 2 watch the whole thing on youtube, but i think that’s changed in recent years :(((
abstract animated film from 1949, this dude's art is innovative and creative and just so much fun, (i'd also recommend neighbours, canon, a chairy tale, and opening speech by him as well.) the music and the visuals for this film were made in tandem, and it's a really cool representation of sound, and it lights my heart up with joy. also brilliant to watch stoned.
I watched this movie for the first time high as hell and liked it way better abstemiously it is truly an otherworldly phantasmagorical masterpiece (and the first movie ever livestreamed on the internet to boot)
romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.
just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
