Back from travelling, to a more normal rhythm and bandwidth, and with a couple of days off that allowed for two escapades to the cinema.
I will also admit that, while away, I temporarily re-subscribed to Paramount+ just to be able to listen to this week’s episode of The Detective and the Log Lady. This explains a couple of entries below…

People come into your life. Some walk with you for a while, long enough that you change each other - a little or a lot, but forever -, and then go on their separate way. Some people drift out of sight but their path may cross yours again; some walk on a parallel road; you’re not holding hands anymore, but you can still see each other despite the distance, and if you wave to them they will wave back.

The second comedy in a row for the IndieWeb Movie Club, The Castle, is an Australian film from 1997; it tells the story of the Kerrigan family, happily living in a house located at the end of the Melbourne Airport runway, until a ‘compulsory acquisition’ notice from the local authorities prompts the father, Darryl, to look for a way to oppose the injunction and avoid losing ‘his castle’.

This week I travelled and, as a consequence, I had less time and also a reduced internet bandwidth to watch films.

This week, again, my creative spirit has dried up. So, let’s go straight to the films.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is the latest work from Simogo, a small videogame studio from Sweden. I bought it without hesitation, and soon I was immersed in a mysterious story about a young woman exploring a deserted hotel, in Germany in 1962.
It’s about modern art, and cinema, and time jumping, and magic, and coffee, and a creepy girl with an owl mask, and possibly cosmic horror. And puzzles. Lots of puzzles.
In short, it’s like it was written just for me.
