Day 30.

Last day!

I think this is changing. I am poor at picking absolutes. I am very polyamorous about art. I am very reactionary. I have two favorite films, one exacerbates my adoration and distress about the other, Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" and Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." These are my boyfriend's least favorite films by each director to the point of disinclination. I don't really do this with books. I have favorite sentences and characters and passages and plots.

Hold on.
