Sybil is a really interesting movie about a woman who has 16 different personalities multiple personality disorder, also known as dissociative identity disorder. It cuts kind of deep so *trigger warning* to anyone with childhood traumas. But her relationship with her psychiatrist becomes so obsessive that you wonder if the shrink is making the illness worse just by being so intrigued by how different she is.

Typed "romance" into Max, and it recommended The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke, 2001), so... I watched it.
No spoilers, but imagine my suprise when it turned out to be an erotic psychological drama about a sexually repressed piano teacher and her sadomasochistic relationship with her pupil (and her mother). It was unexpected, grotesque, and quite frankly, distressing.
There’s both an understanding and a deep ambivalence to the story and the main protagonist that kept pulling me back, even though I had to take a break and watch it over the course of two days. Anyway! It was definitely a gripping watch, and I appreciate any movie that compels me to feel so deeply—in any way, even if I’m writhing in my seat😅.

Watched this movie last night and can’t stop thinking about it. I love how it delves into how awful obsessive thoughts and compulsions can be through physical manifestations of body horror. I’m not really a horror fan! But this freaked me out while speaking to the deepest parts of me better than most of my recent movie watches ever could.

I expected this to be graphic considering its subject matter but it’s a purely psychological thriller with a twisted bent. This movie gave me chills and deeply unsettled me in ways I was not expecting!!! brilliant commentary on the nature of true crime content, with realistic depictions of technology… The lead is an incredibly fascinating and complex female character. highly recommend if you haven’t seen it…

I know going to a steakhouse is cheesy--- and I don’t even eat steak but Old Homestead put that wooooork in when they formulated that garlic bread. I’ve never had anything like it. It’s like a parmesan fondue with bricks of garlic bread stacked up like Manga, it is one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. The crab cakes are great too, a nice jumbo lump crab without all that filler and a beautiful aioli.

I recommend going to Eyren at Ricari Studios for a lymphatic drainage massage. We’re more sedentary thank we’re supposed to be, so lymphatic massages helps to get your lymph flowing so you’re not blocking up your system. Immunity is so important in this bacteria ridden world we live in and I want everyone to be up on their health and wellness!! Eyren has hands sent from God!

Even if you don’t speak Spanish this show is honestly hilarious. Throw on the subtitles. I like watching real life reactions and reality TV or game shows are a fun light hearted way to enjoy Penelope Menchaca is such a great host and there’s different themes for different episodes. The contestants each are introduced by their Zodiac sign, and then they do a little skit or challenge to feel each other out and then choose their match.
