I'd also love more thoughts on Dream Scenario! Did you catch that the writer/director also edited it? I was blown away by this and thought it made perfect sense then that he was able to carry the vision through from start to finish. Full transparency, it was one of my favorite films of the year (fresh idea, super touching ending, themes fully carried out/explored, the characters felt like real/messy/lovable people, very grounded in reality despite the premise being more fantastical) but I'd love to hear how the cynicism came off to you and what you thought overall. One of my friends didn't love that Nic Cage's character wasn't likable, which is fair, although I was more in the camp that it was such an accurate depiction of the ups and downs of being a human, how fame warps, how jealousy gets under your skin, what happens when you don't take accountability for your actions, how big desire can be and how it can ruin so much if left to run rampant. Not to mention, their house was so gorgeous, literally my dream home.
There are literally hundreds of masks available for sleep apnea. all different shapes and sizes. Ask your supplier for something else. Keep trying. Better, like natural and normal night breathing, will improve your entire life, particularly if you have had apnea for a long time. Don't give up!
Also, Ya Snooze, I also use a CPAP and have for a while. You get used to it! I use the nasal pillow kind, which sometimes gives me a sore nose and sometimes leaves me with amusing mask indentations on my face when I wake up. Things that help -- I adjust my headstrap thingie so it's looser than it feels like it should be -- that way it doesn't crush my nose so much. I use the humidifier, always! And I love it for burrowing completely under the covers on cold nights -- I can be fully burritoed and still breathe!
Happy Birthday, Josh Gondelman! Thanks for making the weeks more amusing!
HBD! Also there are definitely times when "Vampire Weekend School of Bands Who Are Fancy Little Guys" are just what you need
