After hiking in a nearby county park my heart seemed to have decided that it did not need to pump for more than 36 beats per minute while I was serenely reading Poe’s “the scythe of time” only to be interrupted by a buzz warning from my fitness tracker.

Spoiler alert!

Among all these recent movies that are mostly derivative it is a pleasure to finally find one that is original and thought provoking.

Vivarium is about a young couple who were trapped in a suburban neighborhood and forced to raise a child that seems like a human but is actually a creature from a specie with advanced technology but parasitic morale.

The plot by itself is an interesting sci-fi psychological horror story, but also reflects on the current state of our society, such as housing, parenting, inequality, and resource extraction.

I took a slower train to work this morning, which moved more stably and thus allowed me to draw more stably as well.

Recently I felt more spontaneity with these impromptu mobile phone drawings while stuck with attempts for more ambitious drawings on a tablet.
Maybe I just need to lower my expectation and go with the flow.
