Where: Eakin Park at Tobin Road

When: 5:35 pm

Bird Species: yellow-rumped (myrtle) warbler, ruby-crowned kinglet, eastern bluebird, tufted titmouse

Things I Thought About:

• Boy today at work was fucking stupid.
• This is the exact reason one gets in to birds, because you know you can discover that no matter how cranky and tense you get, even 20 minutes looking around can perk you right up.
• Even if the birds are being a pain in the ass.
• I think tonight, for spooky season, I will re-watch The VVitch. It is so good. No A24 since then has touched it for me, although I did like Midsommar. I think on a rewatch it will be easier to see if I loved the script or loved the performances.
• Werewulf looks good as hell. I never finished The Lighthouse, though.
• I hate Microsoft Teams with my life.

BOTD: yellow-rumped warbler, the eastern variety often called a myrtle warbler. Just a nice little bird. No other commentary.

I am home now, and a little buzzed, and I am not watching The Witch, I am watching Hello, Mary Lou: Prom Night II. What can I tell you? I'm a simple woman with simple needs.
