Hello again. I’ve finally decided to post an update, after receiving several requests and check-ins over the past months that I hadn’t been on this page.
So here it is – I’ve been taking time off after a cancer diagnosis. This was news that I hadn’t expected to hear, ever, but you learn to play the cards you’re dealt. Starting May, I went for surgery and 6 rounds of chemotherapy, while holding down my full-time job that fortunately allowed me to work from home.
While I’d expected life to return to normalcy in December, my scans did not go the way I’d hoped. Work is on hold once again and I’ll be restarting treatment in January, with hopes that it will end in May with good results.
Till then, this blog shall be put to rest; I just prefer enjoying movies to writing about them for now. Speaking of which, in place of a full year-end round-up, I’m asking everyone to see Barbarian, See How They Run, and Fresh this year!
And for the audiophiles, don’t sleep on Larkin Poe’s Blood Harmony, Ibaraki’s Rashomon and Bomber’s Nocturnal Creatures. Of course I hadn’t forgotten Jack White’s killer double album release. I saw the man in the flesh this year and he proved that he is the very best.
Thanks for reading everything I’ve written all this while. For those who wish to connect, I’m still on Instagram and Goodreads sometimes, and Brimstone Tales occasionally.
I’ll see you when I see you!
