I accomplished almost nothing today, other than working on a podcast related to a cartoon aimed at six year old girls. My brain is a lump of tapioca. I have the dumb.

I derailed my own plans by watching Seven Psychopaths in the middle of the day, the new-ish film by Martin McDonagh, the director of In Bruges. The movie had its moments, but despite the perfect casting and the clever dialogue and all of the little meta-textual comments on the business of filmmaking, McDonagh’s pictures have a tendency to die in the third act, and this film as no exception. Overall, it was merely an okay movie, a welcome but somewhat disappointing distraction from the daily grind.

I’d elaborate further, but I cannot brain today. I have the dumb.
