Weeknote #20 [W26.07] - Rest & recuperate

I spent more time working on the sales pitch which I talked about last week. Which meant that this week was as hectic as the one before, work wise.

The good thing about this week was that I finally had a weekend — for the first time in months — in which I had nothing to do. I stayed at home, slept an ungodly amount of hours, made lists, and watched lots of films in the remaining time.

I have missed weekends like these. I like spending time alone with myself at home, cooking food, cleaning, reading books, watching films without being distracted about work… and I hadn’t had much of that lately.

I won’t get to have this kind of weekend again for a while either (not this month or the next at least) and I’m already sad about it.

I watched five films on Sunday, in preparation for the March curation for Cinema Next Door. These were mostly films from Africa.

I also complied list of the highest rated African and South American films on Letterboxd because I realized I haven’t watched a lot from those regions. I’ve found that having lists on which I can track progress goes a long way in motivating me to get things checked off the list.
