In the middle of week 4? of Iso

 What is time even, really?

I continue my schedule. Of all things my diss work prepared me for quarantine; aside from the inability to nip put for coffee or library books, it's pretty similar. For better or for worse I'm not feeling as dispirited as others are, as near as I can tell. I'm not writing as much as I would like, but that's about par for the course.

We watched Cats the other night. Honestly, aside from the peculiar decisions of costuming and uncanny valleys, it doesn't have a patch on other terrible films I've seen. (Will anything ever be as bad as Highlander 2? I mean, really?) We also watched Battle Angel Alita, which is best characterized as "James Cameron's Issues With Women as Directed by Robert Rodriguez."

OMG It was sooooo bad. Like, there were bits that were good? Christoph Walz is incapable of being terrible, as is Mahershala Ali, and I hope they got good checks for this. The actress/SFX of the main character made her infinitely more believable than the bland fuckboi they had as her love interest (and Cameron really should have just named him Jack 2.0 because fuck me if I remember what his actual name was).
