It's National Umbrella Day ☂️

I'm reminded of this iconic scene in Harold and Maude, the 1971 cult classic in which an emo kid falls in love with an elderly criminal after meeting at funerals. Maude is a sunflower, a beacon of light and life amidst gloom and death. Nearly everything she says is a lesson on how to live.

“A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.”

Movies:

Lately I've been catching up on #films I haven't watched, but wanted to. Normally, I watch comedy, scifi, fantasy, historical drama. My favorites are dramedies or dark comedies. I have a soft spot for great cinematography.
