five questions for October[1]! \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_

1. What's your favourite item to cook? / _/ /_ _/
/- / _/ /
this one depends on the \________/\________/\___/____/
situation, if I'm cooking for myself I
like cereal which isn't really cooking at all, if it's for the family I
like to do spaghetti bolognese and if it's for the extended family I love
making them all Japanese style curry.

2. What films have you watched over and over again?

Hackers, The Crow and The Warriors are obvious comfort movies for me,
they're the kind of films I sink into not even to watch, just consume to
make myself feel better or more stable. they're ones pretty much everyone
knows about me so let me share a deep cut: Spike Lee's 1989 film Do the
Right Thing. Do the Right Thing is my flight movie, it's a film I love to
watch but it's one I keep in my pocket to watch on long haul international
fights. it wasn't intentional, it just happened that way and when I noticed
the habit I started just seeking it out. For some reason it's almost always
on the in flight entertainment.

it's a great film, masterfully shot, filled with all kinds of
wonderful characters and dialogue, and it carries a really timeless
message. I highly recommend it, long haul flight or no.

3. What film did you most enjoy watching this year?

the real standout for me so far this year has been Warfare. it was a
hard watch, it's pretty grim, but the direction and cinematography were so
tight and polished and the pacing was agonizingly perfect, it really left a
mark on me.

4. How comfortable are you with uncertainty?

I was going respond similarly to solderpunk[2] in that I get along
fine but when I reflected on it I think I'm not, like not at all, I don't
pay much mind to things out of my control but I also won't plan more than a
few days ahead, a week at most, because my life has been in such upheaval
for the last few years. I'm not timid in the face of uncertainty but to be
comfortable with it I pare it down to its smallest manageable level so I
guess both comfortable and uncomfortable is true for that one.

5. What's one of your hobbies?
