karmicdragonflyI've been working from home the last few days...it's such a drag to walk around downtown in the snow/slush/ice. It's not a great walk from parking to office in good weather, so when it snows I option to work from home whenever I can. Also, I'm 'between' projects right now, so not much going on anyway.
But that means I'm inside the house a lot so to get some fresh air yesterday, I walked briefly outside with the camera.
Icicle hanging from my deck --
Mounds of melting snow --
I downloaded a horror movie last night to watch, which I liked it very much. The sound track/effects matched nicely with the movie. Not very gory (which is a good thing in my opinion)...and more psychological than scary I guess.
The movie is called It Follows and is about something that follows the characters, and if it touches them they die.
There are themes of 'wrong and right side of the tracks'; themes of sexual disease, and how alone that can make you feel (although there is absolutely nothing about STDs in the movie -- the plot sort of reminds you of that); themes of trying to pass your problems onto someone else.
One thing that is interesting is that it's difficult to date the movie. It was released in 2014, but nothing in the movie exactly gives a date. The houses seem 1970s...and there is not much technology in the show. But you do see a sort of cell phone --
But if you look at this scene, the movie could just be playing at at old movie house. Again, difficult to date the movie.
It's not important to the movie to date it -- it just struck me as odd that I couldn't quite place it in time.
